Engineering Antigen Density on M13 Bacteriophage for Personalized Nanovaccine

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Increasing antigen density on the phage capsid impacts phage uptake and antigen cross‐presentation by antigen‐presenting cells, leading to enhanced activation of antitumor CD8+ T cells in the draining lymph nodes. These activated CD8+ T cells subsequently recognize the antigen‐expressing tumors and mediate their specific cytotoxic killing, thereby ...

Measuring Blood Plasma Glutamine Levels Using a Nanopore‐Based Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Glutamine (GLN) is a biomarker useful for predicting toxic ammonia accumulation. Here, we used a biosensor based on the Cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore coupled with the GLN‐specific protein substrate‐binding domain 2 (SBD2) to demonstrate real‐time measurement of GLN in blood plasma, highlighting the potential for future point‐of‐care applications ...

Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...

Topically Delivered Treg‐Attracting Microparticle‐Hydrogel Composites Recruit Regulatory T Cells and Limit Cardiac Injury After Severe Ischemia

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
CCL22‐releasing PLGA microparticles (MP) suspended in topically applied hydrogels (HEART) establish a sustained chemokine gradient at the injured myocardium. HEART recruits CCR4+ regulatory T cells, reduces infarct size and graft fibrosis, and improves cardiac function.
