Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Lessons Learned About the Education Needs of Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Mixed-Method Study

Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease
Background: Much of the literature on kidney transplant education focuses on educating recipients prior to transplant or in the early postoperative period. It is unknown whether the information provided is meaningful to patients or whether the importance
