Advances in Elemene Nanodelivery Systems: From Material Design to Disease Treatment
ABSTRACT Elemene (ELE) is a bioactive sesquiterpenoid extracted from traditional Chinese herbs, demonstrating broad‐spectrum antitumor, anti‐inflammatory, and analgesic properties with significant therapeutic potential. However, its clinical utility is constrained by inherent physicochemical limitations, including volatility and hydrophobicity, which ...

Regulatory T Cells and Nanomaterials: Dual Perspectives in Therapeutics and Immunomodulation
Tregs control immune tolerance but can also enable tumor escape. Nanomaterials can now expand or stabilize Tregs to treat autoimmunity and support transplantation or conversely disrupt tumor Tregs to boost antitumor immunity. We also discuss unintended Treg modulation by nanoparticles, safety and manufacturing challenges, and future translational ...

ABSTRACT Background Chronic delta hepatitis represents a major health burden. Until recently, pegylated interferon‐alfa‐2a (PEG‐IFNα) therapy was the only treatment option for patients infected with hepatitis D virus (HDV). The aim of this study was to evaluate 10‐year long‐term clinical and virological outcomes after 96 weeks of treatment with PEG ...
