Targeted Expansion of Treg Cells to Induce Immune Tolerance after Kidney Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐targeting nanoparticle platform that selectively engages graft stromal cells via CD248 receptors while employing kidney‐ specific promoters (NPHS2) to drive localized IL‐ 2/TGF‐βexpression is developed. This approach achieves three therapeutic objectives:1) intragraft Treg polarization without systemic cytokine exposure;2) reduced dependence on ...
