Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

T cell receptor reversed polarity recognition of a self-antigen major histocompatibility complex [PDF]
, 2015 Central to adaptive immunity is the interaction between the αβ T cell receptor (TCR) and peptide presented by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule.

Self‐Immolative Activatable Nanoassembly toward Immuno‐Photodynamic Therapy in TME
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A quinone methide‐gated, self‐immolative, H2O2‐responsive nano‐photosensitizer (Pyz/PS) is developed for targeted immuno‐photodynamic therapy. Pyz/PS selectively activates within tumor microenvironments, restores photosensitizer activity, generates ROS, and depletes intracellular GSH, enhancing oxidative stress.

Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...

The two novel MHC class II transactivators RFX5 and CIITA both control expression of HLA-DM genes [PDF]
, 2017 MHC-encoded HLA-DMA and-DMB molecules are atypical MHC chains that play an essential role in antigen presentation by MHC class II molecules. They resemble both MHC class I and II molecules but are not expressed at the cell surface.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

Regulation of major histocompatibility complex class II gene expression in trophoblast cells
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2004 Trophoblast cells are unique because they are one of the few mammalian cell types that do not express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens, either constitutively or after exposure to IFN-γ.

Positional identification and functional analysis of genes regulating autoimmune arthritis [PDF]
, 2016 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the most gene-dense and polymorphic region in the human genome with strong associations to many autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
