Non‐Targeting shRNA‐Encoded Plasmid DNA Enhances Protective Immunity Through RIDD‐RIG‐I Signaling Pathway in the Zika Virus Animal Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a novel DNA vaccine platform featuring intrinsic, non‐targeting dsRNA that significantly enhances immune responses by activating the regulated IRE1‐dependent decay‐RIG‐I signaling pathway. This research elucidates a previously uncharacterized mechanism for dsRNA‐mediated innate immune activation.

Nanoparticle Immunoadjuvant Complexes Augment Germinal Center Responses to Vaccination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Scaffolding IL‐21 on the surface of a self‐assembling nanoparticle immunogen drives improved germinal center and humoral immune responses. These nanoparticle immunoadjuvant complexes (NICs) functionally modulate the germinal center driving improved somatic hypermutation and antibody maturation, suggesting this platform has potential utility as a ...

A Simplified Three‐Tailed N‐Alkyl Phosphoramidate Lipid Platform Enables Inguinal Adipose‐Accumulated mRNA Delivery for Anti‐Obesity Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops an mRNA therapy encoding a long‐acting GLP‐1/FGF21 fusion protein. A three‐tailed ionizable lipid engineered three‐component lipid nanoparticle delivers the mRNA to inguinal adipose tissue. In obese mice, this targeted, dual‐hormone treatment potently reduces body weight, fat mass, presenting a localized strategy for metabolic ...

Biomimetic Organic Nanozyme as Tumor Vaccines for Targeted Suppression of Ammonia‐Induced T Lymphocyte Death to Augment Breast Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The organic nanozyme IR‐IHpd, which has NIR‐PDT and POD‐like activity, is designed for continuous ROS generation. It is co‐encapsulated with CB‐839 and coated with DC membranes to simultaneously target tumors and T cells. Under NIR irradiation, immunogenic cell death is activated. Concurrently, CB‐839 suppresses ammonia‐induced T lymphocyte death (AITD)

Phocaeicola coprophilus‐Derived 6‐Methyluracil Attenuates Radiation‐Induced Intestinal Fibrosis by Suppressing the IDO1‐Kynurenine‐AHR Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IR‐induced dysbiosis depletes P. coprophilus and its metabolite 6‐methyluracil, leading to disinhibition of the IDO1‐Kyn‐AHR axis. This results in sustained fibroblast activation and collagen deposition, driving radiation induced intestinal fibrosis. ABSTRACT Therapeutic options for radiation‐induced intestinal fibrosis (RIF) remain limited. This study

Cytokine‐Engineered Chimeric Antigen Receptor‐T Cell Therapy: How to Balance the Efficacy and Toxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cytokine‐engineered CAR‐T cells represent a promising immunotherapy against malignancies due to direct tumor killing and potent immunity response. However, significant toxicities, including CRS and ICANS, have restricted clinical applications. How to keep the risk‐benefit balance of the advanced therapy is of great importance for maximizing the benefit

Bifidobacterium Breve Yang08 Alleviates Atopic Dermatitis By Enriching Akkermansia Muciniphila and Inhibiting Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation In Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel Bifidobacterium breve strain, Yang08, is isolated to counter its depletion in atopic dermatitis. In mice, live Yang08 requires an intact gut microbiota to exert protection, specifically enriching Akkermansia muciniphila and potently inhibiting pathogenic neutrophil activation and NETosis in the skin.
