Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Innate Immune Memory is Stimulus Specific

open access: yes
ABSTRACT Innate immune memory (also termed trained immunity) is defined in part by its ability to cross-protect against heterologous pathogens, and can be generated by many different stimuli, suggesting a “universal” trained state. However, different stimuli could form distinct memories, leading to stimulus-specific trained responses ...

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

Metabolic regulation of immune memory and function of microglia

open access: yeseLife
Innate immune cells possess memory-like properties. Exposure to infections or sterile inflammation can prime them, leading to either exacerbated inflammatory responses, a process called trained immunity, or reduced responsiveness to pro-inflammatory ...

Is Innate Memory a Double-Edge Sword in Alzheimer's Disease? A Reappraisal of New Concepts and Old Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
An emergent concept in immunology suggests that innate immune system is capable to undergo non-specific long-term responses and to provide resistance by modifying the reactivity to sequential pathogen challenge.

Chemical Strategies for Multistimuli Responsive Dynamic Covalent Materials in Regenerative Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Multistimuli responsive dynamic covalent materials integrate reversible chemistry with the complex chemical, mechanical, and biochemical cues of regenerative environments. This review highlights chemical strategies based on orthogonal dynamic bonds, multicomponent networks, and hierarchical architectures to regulate mechanics, degradation, and ...

Memory CD8+ T Cells: Orchestrators and Key Players of Innate Immunity?

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2016
Over the past decades, the dichotomy between innate and adaptive immune responses has largely dominated our understanding of immunology. Upon primary encounter with microbial pathogens, differentiation of adaptive immune cells into functional effectors ...

Lignin Mimicking Protein Methylation Augments the Efficacy of FOLFOX Chemotherapy by Anchoring Thymidylate Synthase

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lignin‐mimicking protein methylation can enhance the efficacy and mitigate the toxicity of the classic FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen. ABSTRACT FOLFOX has served as the standard chemotherapy regimen for advanced stages, specifically in the treatment of pancreatic, colorectal, and bladder cancers.

Innate Immune Memory in Invertebrate Metazoans: A Critical Appraisal

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
The ability of developing immunological memory, a characteristic feature of adaptive immunity, is clearly present also in innate immune responses. In fact, it is well known that plants and invertebrate metazoans, which only have an innate immune system ...
