A nanoplatform that induces dual‐amino acid deprivation to reverse tumor immunosuppression and enhance metabolic immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
ZIF‐8‐based nanoparticles co‐delivering CB‐839 (glutaminase inhibitor) and 1‐MT (IDO1 inhibitor), dual‐targeting glutamine/tryptophan metabolism to induce immunogenic cell death, activate STING, block kynurenine production, reverse immunosuppression, and enhance cancer immunotherapy to suppress primary/distant tumors.

Glycosylated dendrimer nanoamplifiers hijack DNA damage‐immune crosstalk for enhanced dual‐track therapy of orthotopic glioblastoma

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A glycosylated dendrimer nanoamplifier hijacks DNA damage‐immune crosstalk for enhanced radio‐immunotherapy of glioblastoma. The responsive release of demethylcantharidin simultaneously blocks repair‐mediated resistance by inhibiting DNA repair and overcomes adaptive immune resistance.

Controllable engineered probiotic microspheres for treating ulcerative colitis: A cascade enzyme‐catalyzed strategy to restore intestinal redox homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A dual strategy integrating genetic engineering and physical encapsulation was proposed to enhance the cell viability and antioxidant properties of probiotics. The cascade antioxidant enzymes released from probiotic microspheres restore intestinal redox homeostasis by eliminating intestinal reactive oxygen species for ulcerative colitis treatment ...
