Consequences and Utility of the Zinc-Dependent Metalloprotease Activity of Anthrax Lethal Toxin

Toxins, 2010
Anthrax is caused by the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The pathogenesis of this disease is dependent on the presence of two binary toxins, edema toxin (EdTx) and lethal toxin (LeTx). LeTx, the major virulence factor contributing to anthrax,

Mannose‐Modified Cationic Liposome‐Based mRNA Therapeutics for Improved Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.
Schematic illustration of mTEM8‐loaded cationic liposome (cLipo‐Man/mTEM8) therapeutics for improved triple‐negative breast cancer immunotherapy. Despite triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most heterogeneous and aggressive subtype of breast cancer, immunotherapy is emerging as a promising therapy.
