Biomimetic Hybrid‐Membrane Nanoreactor for Deep‐Seated Photodynamic Immunotherapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Dual Catalysis‐Enhanced ROS Amplification and cGAS‐STING Activation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
UCNP@MnOx‐Hyp@HRM (UMHM) enables tumor targeting and accumulation. Under 808 nm NIR irradiation, PDT/CDT synergistically triggers ICD and cGAS–STING immunity for deep hepatocellular carcinoma therapy. ABSTRACT Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is promising against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Adipose invariant natural killer T cells [PDF]

Immunology, 2014
SummaryAdipose tissue is a dynamic organ that makes up a substantial proportion of the body; in severe obesity it can account for 50% of body mass. Details of the unique immune system resident in human and murine adipose tissue are only recently emerging, and so it has remained a largely unexplored and unappreciated immune site until now.

Natural killer cells in multiple sclerosis: foe or friends?

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disorder involving the central nervous system (CNS), in which demyelination is caused. The initiation and progression of MS is thought to depend largely on CD4+ T lymphocytes, yet new data has emphasized the ...

A Critical Call for Mechanistic Investigations of Metal‐Bacteria Interactions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
It is well established that the antibacterial properties of metals have tremendous importance for bioengineering applications. What is not as appreciated, however, is the reproducibility crisis in this field's vast literature. In this perspective, we highlight this reproducibility problem, discuss its sources, and suggest solutions towards focused ...

Bacteria‐Trained, MnO2‐Armored Dendritic Cells for Immunotherapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
MnO2‐armored, bacteria‐trained dendritic cells undergo tumor‐responsive mechanical and immunological transformation. The nanocoating masks immune ligands and maintains a mechanically stiff, quiescent state during circulation, while the tumor microenvironment removes the armor and restores cellular deformability and immune accessibility.
