open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. This study demonstrates that static magnetic fields (SMF) offer a novel non‐pharmacological intervention against VTE by mitigating endothelial oxidative stress.

Advanced Human Immune Cell‐Organoid Co‐Cultures for Functional Testing of Cancer Nanovaccines

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains difficult to treat. We establish an organoid–immune co‐culture using patient‐derived organoids and matched T‐cells to assess cancer vaccines. A mesothelin‐targeted nanovaccine activates antigen‐specific T‐cells, increases IFN‐γ, and targets MSLN+ organoids.
