Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Implantable Microarray Patch: Engineering at the Nano and Macro Scale for Sustained Therapeutic Release via Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

“To die is better than to tell”: reasons for and against disclosure of chronic hepatitis B status in Ghana

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background People with a condition subject to stigmatisation, such as chronic hepatitis B, face the dilemma of whether or not to disclose their status. In Ghana, 12.3% of the adult population has the hepatitis B virus (HBV). One key strategy for breaking

Procyanidin Capsules Combat ALF by Restoring Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Inhibiting Necroptosis via the PGAM5/DRP1/PINK1 Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic self‐assembly strategy, Procyanidin Capsules (PC‐Ca), has been developed, which has great stability, bioavailability, and liver‐targeting efficacy and modulates the KEAP1‐NRF2 axis to inhibit ROS formation and necroptosis, regulate mitochondrial homeostasis through the PGAM5/DRP1/PINK1 signaling pathway in thioacetamide (TAA)‐induced ALF ...
