A Novel Technology Platform for Extracellular Vesicle-Targeted Expression of Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes: Driving CYP3A4 Expression and Secretion via the EABR Motif [PDF]
Background: Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a key membrane-anchored drug-metabolizing enzyme. Its expression and purification in heterologous systems are severely hindered by low yield and detergent-induced structural inactivation. Although extracellular

Bivalent mRNA booster encoding virus-like particles elicits potent polyclass receptor-binding domain antibodies in pre-vaccinated mice [PDF]
mRNA vaccines emerged as a leading vaccine technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, their sustained protective efficacies were limited by relatively short-lived antibody responses and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, necessitating frequent ...

Developing an eVLP mRNA vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus with enhanced pre-fusion targeting humoral responses [PDF]
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. In this study, we leveraged the innovative EABR (ESCRT- and ALIX-binding region) vaccine technology

Cochlear Implantation Following Neonatal Meningitis: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
Bacterial meningitis in neonates may lead to profound sensorineural hearing loss and rapid postinflammatory cochlear changes that complicate auditory rehabilitation. We present two infants with bilateral profound hearing loss following neonatal bacterial meningitis who underwent early bilateral cochlear implantation.

Improved mRNA-based RSV vaccine with PreF forming enveloped virus-like particles [PDF]
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe respiratory disease in infants and the elderly. However, natural infection fails to induce durable immune protection, and existing mRNA vaccines for older adults exhibit limited long-term efficacy.

SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants and Immune Evasion: Mapping the Future of Vaccine Design [PDF]
ABSTRACT The evolutionary trajectory of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) has progressed through several distinct phases since its zoonotic emergence, transitioning from initial human adaptation to an era of rapid antigenic drift and complex immune evasion. As of early 2026, the global landscape is dominated by highly evolved

Intraoperative Cochlear Nerve Monitoring in Cochlear Implantation after Vestibular Schwannoma Resection [PDF]
Background: The use of a cochlear implant (CI) for hearing rehabilitation after vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection is widely spreading. The procedure is usually performed simultaneously to tumor resection with a translabyrinthine approach.
