Inorganic Nanomaterials Meet the Immune System: An Intricate Balance

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metal nanomaterials influence the immune responses, such as cytokine production and T‐cell activity. Unintended immune modulation can have significant consequences while its fine‐tuning may transform the oncology care. Within this review, a critical analysis is offered regarding the nano/immune‐interaction and suggests the future research directions to

UWF-RI2FA: Generating Multi-frame Ultrawide-field Fluorescein Angiography from Ultrawide-field Retinal Imaging Improves Diabetic Retinopathy Stratification [PDF]

arXiv
Ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography (UWF-FA) facilitates diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection by providing a clear visualization of peripheral retinal lesions. However, the intravenous dye injection with potential risks hamper its application. We aim to acquire dye-free UWF-FA images from noninvasive UWF retinal imaging (UWF-RI) using generative ...

Personalized Mathematical Model Predicting Endotoxin-Induced Inflammatory Responses in Young Men [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The initial reaction of the body to pathogenic microbial infection or severe tissue trauma is an acute inflammatory response. The magnitude of such a response is of critical importance, since an uncontrolled response can cause further tissue damage, sepsis, and ultimately death, while an insufficient response can result in inadequate clearance of ...

Injectable 2D‐MoS2‐integrated Bioadhesive Hydrogel as Photothermal‐Derived and Drug‐Delivery Implant for Colorectal Cancer Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An injectable, adhesive hydrogel integrating 2D‐MoS2 and 5‐fluorouracil (AlgNB/MoS2/5‐FU) is developed for near‐infrared‐triggered photothermal therapy and localized drug delivery. The adhesive hydrogel demonstrates superior tumor anchoring, efficient photothermal conversion, and synergistic inhibition of colorectal cancer progression, offering a ...

Delay-Dependent Output-Feedback Control for Blood Pressure Regulation Using LPV Techniques [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
This paper presents a delay-dependent parameter-varying control design approach to address the automated blood pressure regulation problem in the critical patient resuscitation using closed-loop administration of vasopressors. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) response of a patient subject to the intravenous vasoactive drug treatment is modeled as a ...

Dendrimer Conjugates with PD‐L1‐Binding Peptides Enhance In Vivo Antitumor Immune Response

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this paper, a novel nanoparticle scaffold composed of dendrimers conjugated with peptide‐based immune checkpoint inhibitors, enhancing drug delivery efficacy is introduced. By conjugating PD‐L1‐binding peptides to dendrimers, multivalent binding effects are harnessed, resulting in enhanced binding affinity, prolonged half‐life, and improved ...

Tumor‐Targeted Exosome‐Based Heavy Atom‐Free Nanosensitizers With Long‐Lived Excited States for Safe and Effective Sono‐Photodynamic Therapy of Solid Tumors

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered exosome‐based heavy atom‐free nanosensitizers are developed for safe and targeted sono‐photodynamic therapy of solid tumors. The IR820‐TPE‐loaded, biotin‐conjugated exosomes (IR820‐TPE@B‐Exo) demonstrate significant promise for NIR fluorescence imaging‐guided sono‐photodynamic cancer therapy.
