Electrostatically‐Stabilized PEG‐Free Lipid Nanoparticles for Systemic Nucleic Acid Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes non‐PEGylated layered lipid nanoparticles (nonPEG LLNPs), a gene delivery platform that improves upon standard PEGylated LNPs via electrostatic adsorption of charged polymers. nonPEG LLNPs maintain colloidal stability under biological stresses, enhance circulation time, and mitigate accelerated blood clearance and hepatic ...

Evaluation of Clinical and Hematological Inflammatory Profile in Patients Treated for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma - A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology
Background: Cancer treatment can lead to significant morbidities that may persist throughout the life of a patient. Over the past 30 years, there has been no improvement in the percentages of morbidity and mortality of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)

Tuning Mechanoreceptor Signaling Enhances the Adjuvant Effect of Biomaterial Vaccines

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Matrix stiffness serves as an independent immunological signal in biomaterial vaccines. Stiffer microporous hydrogel vaccines enhance dendritic cell maturation and migration to draining lymph nodes, promote T follicular helper cell expansion through Yap/Taz signaling, and increase antigen‐specific antibody production.

Lipoprotein (a) integrates monocyte-mediated thrombosis and inflammation in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Journal of Lipid Research
Elevated levels of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], an apolipoprotein B particle, are causally linked to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Lp(a) is thought to promote ASCVD through multiple mechanisms, including its effects on cholesterol transport,

EFFECTS OF BACTERIAL LIGANDS OF PATTERN-RECOGNIZING RECEPTORS (PRR) ON MONOCYTE-LIKE THP-1 CELLS UPON THEIR TRANSENDOTHELIAL MIGRATION

Медицинская иммунология, 2014
. The aim of study was to compare the influence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) component from Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli 055:B5), and a lysate of Gram-positive bacterium (Streptococcus pyogenes, type M1, strain 40/58) upon transendothelial migration ...

Mechanically Mutable Matrices: A Hierarchical Investigation of Decellularized Sea Cucumber Collagen as an Adaptable Scaffold Material

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) is a remarkable collagen‐based material which can rapidly undergo large changes in stiffness through transiently bound effector proteins. Here, we investigate the hierarchical structure and mechanical response of MCT from Cucumaria frondosa across length scales with a wide range of methods, also exploring ...

Generation of decellularized human brain tissue for investigating cell-matrix interactions: a proof-of-concept study

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The brain extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates myelin repair and regeneration following a demyelinating event by interacting with neuronal progenitors and immune cells. Therefore, generation and characterization of decellularized human brain tissue (DHBT)

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Transcriptome analysis of classical blood cells reveals downregulation of pro-inflammatory genes in the classical monocytes of long COVID patients

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionDespite extensive research, the pathogenesis and predispositions underlying long COVID (long-term coronavirus disease 2019) remain poorly understood.MethodsTo address this, we analyzed the immunological landscapes of 44 patients with long ...

Gardiquimod Nanoemulsion Targets Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Lesions Reducing Systemic Toxicity and Parasite Burden

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoemulsion delivery of a TLR7 agonist enhances safety and promotes colocalization with Leishmania‐infected macrophages in skin lesions, enabling a ∼2‐log reduction in parasite burden. However, tissue‐level constraints and TLR‐driven regulatory feedback generate a mixed immune response that limits complete parasite clearance.
