CTLs heterogeneity and plasticity: implications for cancer immunotherapy

open access: yesMolecular Cancer
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play critical antitumor roles, encompassing diverse subsets including CD4+, NK, and γδ T cells beyond conventional CD8+ CTLs.

Engineered ETS1‐Nanoconjugate Restores Immune Homeostasis through Dual Immune‐Vascular Modulation in Relapsing and Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The biomimetic nanoplatform IMNP (ETS1 pDNA/PBAE@ITP‐MM) undergoes targeted disassembly at inflammatory vascular sites to release the ETS1 plasmid (pETS1). This release initiates a cascade of effects that inhibit pathogenic pathways and support immune homeostasis. (Abbreviations: EndMT, endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition; EC, endothelial cell; TC, T

Tunable Enhancement of T Cell Expansion Through Modulation of Stiffness and Adhesion Receptor Engagement in an Engineered Hydrogel Platform

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We develop a hydrogel scaffold with controlled substrate stiffness and ligand functionalization for cell culture. Stiff substrates presenting CD3/CD28/CD2 ligands induce 2000‐fold expansion of T cells; this is 68% greater than the clinical standard (Dynabeads) and the first hydrogel capable of large‐scale expansion. Although expanding at a lower yield,

In vitro induction of tumor antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Specific immune responses are normally stimulated when an individual is exposed to a foreign antigen [1-4].The form of immunity that is induced by this process of immunization is called active immunity because the immunized ...Thesis (Ph. D.

Remote‐Controllable Immune‐Priming Spot Formation Via Nanocomplexed Hydrogel‐Assisted Histotripsy: Immunoasis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel immunotherapeutic strategy combines injectable, adjuvant‐loaded hydrogels with externally controlled histotripsy to create immune‐priming sites within tumors. This approach generates millimeter‐sized immune‐activated lesions with flexible, patient‐tailored treatment scheduling, enabling precise immune activation through tumor ablation‐mediated ...

Advanced Mounting Technique for Improved Imaging and Analysis of Embedded Spheroids and Migrating Cells in Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A novel sample holder compatible with the Zeiss Lightsheet 7 microscope improves imaging of spheroids embedded in collagen matrices. By enabling dual‐sided illumination, it enhances image quality and quantitative analysis of migrating cells. This method advances 3D light sheet microscopy for studying tumor invasion and therapeutic responses.

Intravital Imaging of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes

open access: yes, 2014
Intravital imaging approaches are proving to be essential to address new questions to better understand how the immune system operates. These approaches are especially valuable to characterize the complex organization of immune responses in vivo. Here, we examine how to take advantage of the cornea as a natural body window to apply noninvasive imaging ...
