Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Bacterial polysaccharide–protein conjugate vaccines [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 2004 Following demonstration that chemical conjugation of polysaccharide antigens to proteins could enhance their immunogenicity in the 1920s, interest in this approach to primary prevention of bacterial infections waned with the development and widespread use of antibiotics. Emergence of resistant bacteria rekindled interest in the late 20th century, which

Liquid Metals as Initiators of Free‐Radical Polymerization of Hydrogels: A Perspective
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Gallium‐based liquid metals initiate free radical polymerization to form hydrogels without the use of toxic molecular initiators. In addition to initiating polymerization, they can act as crosslinkers, yielding softer, more extensible, and tougher hydrogels than those formed with conventional initiators.
