Polydopamine-Mediated Protein Adsorption Alters the Epigenetic Status and Differentiation of Primary Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (hASCs)

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Polydopamine (PDA) is a biocompatible cell-adhesive polymer with versatile applications in biomedical devices. Previous studies have shown that PDA coating could improve cell adhesion and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs).

Functional systemic CD4 immunity is required for clinical responses to PD‐L1/PD‐1 blockade therapy

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019
The majority of lung cancer patients progressing from conventional therapies are refractory to PD‐L1/PD‐1 blockade monotherapy. Here, we show that baseline systemic CD4 immunity is a differential factor for clinical responses.
