Strategies to Design and Optimize Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells for T Cell Expansion in Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in engineering artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs) as alternatives to dendritic cells for T cell expansion. Key design principles inspired by the immunological synapse are discussed, with emphasis on strategies for polyclonal and antigen‐specific T cell expansion.

GENETIC AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF BACTERIAL DRUG RESISTANCE

open access: yesThe KITAKANTO Medical Journal, 1973
Many papers have been presented on the enzymatic inactivation of the aminoglycosidic antibiotics by cell-free extracts obtained from drug-resistant strains of bacteria isolated from clinical specimens. Kanamycin is inactivated by two mechanisms responsible for the formation of 6-N-acetyl-kanamycin and 3'-phosphorylkanamycin.

Bacteria‐Derived Extracellular Vesicle as A “Trojan Horse” for Selective M1 Macrophage‐Targeting in A Multi‐Cellular Entanglement Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The temporary transition of macrophages from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M1) to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M2) is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration processes. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are utilized as a “trojan horse” for specific M1 macrophage‐targeting and anti‐inflammatory drug delivery ...
