A Multivalent mRNA Therapeutic Vaccine Exhibits Breakthroughs in Immune Tolerance and Virological Suppression of HBV by Stably Presenting the Pre-S Antigen on the Cell Membrane [PDF]
Background/Objectives: In chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB), the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) continuously exhausts the hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), which leads to the formation of immune tolerance.

Mission 2030: Toward universal hepatitis B immunization [PDF]
Despite the availability of efficacious and safe vaccines for more than 40 years, the rate of new hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections remains high, leaving large populations at risk of developing chronic hepatitis B, liver cirrhosis and cancer.

Scientific approaches to defining HPV vaccine-induced protective immunity. [PDF]
Abstract Seventeen years after the licensure of prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 virus‐like‐particle vaccines, a defined antibody level that correlates with vaccine‐induced protection against HPV infections and associated neoplasia is missing.

Cost‐effectiveness of second‐line therapies in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia
Abstract Major options for second‐line therapy in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) include splenectomy, rituximab, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TRAs). The American Society of Hematology guidelines recommend rituximab over splenectomy, TRAs over rituximab, and splenectomy or TRAs while noting a lack of evidence on the cost ...

Abstract Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats‐associated protein (CRISPR/Cas9), an adaptive microbial immune system, has been exploited as a robust, accurate, efficient and programmable method for genome targeting and editing. This innovative and revolutionary technique can play a significant role in animal modeling, in vivo genome

Advances in exosome biomarkers for cervical cancer
Cancer‐derived exosomes may promote CC metastasis by boosting cellular epithelial‐mesenchymal transformation (EMT), controlling the proliferation, invasion, or migration of cancer cells, as well as influencing immune escape and aiding angiogenesis.

Abstract Nucleic acids are the blueprint of life. They are not only the construction plan of the single cell or higher associations of them, but also necessary for function, communication and regulation. Due to the pandemic, the attention shifted in particular to their therapeutic potential as a vaccine. As pharmaceutical oligonucleotides are unique in

Maternal Infection with Trypanosoma cruzi and Congenital Chagas Disease Induce a Trend to a Type 1 Polarization of Infant Immune Responses to Vaccines [PDF]
Vaccines are of crucial importance to prevent morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases in childhood. A modulation of the fetal/neonatal immune system (considered immature) toward Th1 or Th2 dominance could modify responses to vaccines ...
