Performance of pulmonary artery dimensions measured on high-resolution computed tomography scan for identifying pulmonary hypertension

ERJ Open Research, 2020
Background On high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), pulmonary artery (PA) dimensions may hint at the presence of pulmonary hypertension. We aimed to determine how accurately various measures of the PA, as viewed on HRCT, predict right heart ...

Nanobody‐Decorated Lipid Nanoparticles for Enhanced mRNA Delivery to Tumors In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a targeted mRNA‐LNP platform engineered with anti‐PSMA nanobodies for prostate cancer therapy. Using different in vivo models, the authors demonstrate selective uptake and mRNA delivery in PSMA+ cancer cells. However, while targeting is enhanced, mRNA delivery efficacy is limited by tissue penetration, tumor necrosis, and immune ...

Pulmonary Delivery of siRNA Anti‐TNFα‐loaded Lipid Nanoparticles for Rapid Recovery in Murine Acute Lung Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In a murine model of acute lung injury, pulmonary administration of lipid nanoparticles carrying TNFα siRNA enables targeted delivery to immune cells. The study emphasises the importance of optimizing LNP distribution and delivery timing to improve therapeutic outcomes and develop emergency therapies for lung hyperinflammation.

Antitumoral Efficacy of AuNRs‐Laden ECFCs In Vitro and In Vivo: Decoding the Heat and Rays Combo Treatment in Breast Cancer and Melanoma Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) acted as cellular cyborgs, stealthily transporting gold nanorods (AuNRs) into tumors to enable targeted near‐infrared (NIR) hyperthermia combined with radiotherapy. This approach triggers ferroptosis in melanoma and inhibits autophagy in breast cancer, revealing a tumor‐specific response to nanomaterial‐assisted
