BCG‐Derived Outer Membrane Vesicles Induce TLR2‐Dependent Trained Immunity to Protect Against Polymicrobial Sepsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
B‐OMVs, nanoscale vesicles derived from BCG, are identified as effective and safe inducers of trained immunity that protect against sepsis. Through TLR2‐mediated metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming of hematopoietic stem cells, B‐OMVs enhance inflammatory response and phagocytic activity.

A Nano‐Electro‐Platform Enabling Evolutionary Screening and Remodeling of Tumor Cells for Metastasis Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nano‐electro‐platform achieves non‐destructive evolutionary screening and electro‐remodeling of tumor cells to generate extracellular vesicles with enhanced tumor‐targeting and therapeutic functions. These extracellular vesicles demonstrate remarkable efficacy in activating both macrophages and T cells, thereby orchestrating a potent immune ...
