Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Mast cell subsets and their functional modulation by the Acanthocheilonema viteae product ES-62 [PDF]
ES-62, an immunomodulator secreted by filarial nematodes, exhibits therapeutic potential in mouse models of allergic inflammation, at least in part by inducing the desensitisation of Fc휀RI-mediated mast cell responses.

Multiscale Profiling of Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Framework Biocompatibility and Immune Interactions
A multi‐scale, hierarchical ‘Safety‐by‐Design’ pipeline combining machine learning, ex vivo human blood assays, and in vivo models enables the systematic immunotoxicity and biocompatibility profiling of nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks, accelerating their safe clinical translation. Abstract The clinical translation of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) –

SnapShot: Caveolae, Caveolins, and Cavins [PDF]
Caveolae, submicroscopic bulb-shaped plasma membrane pits, are an abundant feature of many mammalian cells (Parton and del Pozo, 2013). Caveolae and the major proteins of caveolae, caveolins (Rothberg et al., 1992), and cavins (Hill et al., 2008), are linked to a number of human diseases such as muscular dystrophy, cardiomyopathy, and lipodys -trophy ...

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Protein trafficking through the endosomal system prepares intracellular parasites for a home invasion [PDF]
Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis) and Plasmodium (malaria) use unique secretory organelles for migration, cell invasion, manipulation of host cell functions, and cell egress. In particular, the apical secretory micronemes and rhoptries of apicomplexan parasites

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Constitutive Formation of Caveolae in a Bacterium [PDF]
Caveolin plays an essential role in the formation of characteristic surface pits, caveolae, which cover the surface of many animal cells. The fundamental principles of caveola formation are only slowly emerging. Here we show that caveolin expression in a prokaryotic host lacking any intracellular membrane system drives the formation of cytoplasmic ...

PKCα and CPI-17 expression and spatial-temporal distribution with activation in pig stomach antrum and fundus [PDF]
Smooth muscle contraction is a complicated process coordinated by contractile, regulatory and cytoskeletal proteins. The force generation depends on the phosphorylation of Myosin Regulatory Light Chain (MLC20). Myosin Light Chain Kinase (MLCK) and Myosin
