The naturally attenuated Kunjin strain of West Nile virus shows enhanced sensitivity to the host type I interferon response

, 2011
The host determinants that contribute to attenuation of the naturally occurring nonpathogenic strain of West Nile virus (WNV), the Kunjin strain (WNVKUN), remain unknown.

Innate Immunocompetent hiPSC‐Derived Neurospheroids Capture Early CNS Responses to rAAV

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Knowledge of human CNS immune responses to AAV‐based gene therapies remains limited due to the lack of immune‐competent human models. Here, a hiPSC‐derived 3D neuroimmune platform integrating neurospheroids and microglia is established using stirred‐tank bioreactors.

Interferon Regulatory Factor-1, Interferon-β, and Reovirus-Induced Myocarditis

Virology, 2002
Viral myocarditis is an important human disease, and reovirus-induced myocarditis in mice provides an excellent model to study direct viral damage to the heart. Previously, we showed that reovirus induction of and sensitivity to interferon-beta (IFN-beta) is an important determinant of viral pathogenicity in the heart and that the transcription factor ...

Reprogramming Interferon Regulatory Factor Signaling in Cardiometabolic Diseases

, 2017
Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are evolutionarily conserved proteins expressed not only in immune cells but also in other tissues and organs outside the immune system.

Aptamer‐Engineered Liposomal Platform Enables in Situ cDC1 Vaccination to Potentiate Immunotherapy in Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Prostate cancer is immunologically ‘cold’, with scarce, dysfunctional type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) that limit T cell priming. We introduce an aptamer‐targeted liposomedelivering FMS‐like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) and chlorin e6 (Ce6). Ultrasound induces antigen release and cDC1s recruitment, creating an in situ cDC1 vaccine.

A transcriptomic approach for studying the activation of dendritic cells in response to mycobacterial infections [PDF]

, 2007
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is responsible for 2 million deaths annually. In recent years co-infection with HIV and drug-resistant strains has led to the increase in clinical cases of tuberculosis.

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

An Activity‐Reinforced P‐Modified Single‐Atom Cu Nanozyme Potentiates IDO Blockade‐Induced Tumor Radiotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A phosphorus‐modified single‐atom copper nanozyme delivering the IDO1 inhibitor 1‐methyl‐tryptophan enhances breast cancer radioimmunotherapy by simultaneously relieving hypoxia and inducing immunogenic cell death through dual enzyme activities while blocking tryptophan metabolism to suppress regulatory T cell function.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Single‐Cell Dissection of Microglial Dysfunction in Diabetes‐Associated Neurodegenerative Vulnerability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐cell transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling, researchers mapped microglial dysfunction across the lifespan of db/db mice. The authors uncovered a nonlinear microglial remodeling featuring early inflammatory priming, a mid‐stage transcriptional inflection, and late dysfunction.
