Engineered Bacterial Membranes as Next‐Generation Platforms for Cancer Immunotherapy

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Engineered bacterial membrane platforms, including outer membrane vesicles, bacterial ghosts, genetically engineered membranes, and hybrid bacterial–tumor membranes, integrate tumor antigen presentation with intrinsic immune stimulation. These platforms promote dendritic‐cell activation, T‐cell priming, pyroptosis, and synergistic responses with ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...
