ENTPDase inhibitors: therapeutic potential in infectious, inflammatory, and neuroinflammatory diseases [PDF]

Exploration of Neuroscience
Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (ENTPDases), members of the cluster of differentiation 39 (CD39) family, are key regulators of purinergic signaling through the hydrolysis of tri and diphosphate nucleotides.

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 ...

A High‐Fidelity RNA‐Targeting Cas13X Downregulates Connexin43 in Macroglia: A Novel Neuroprotective Strategy for Glaucoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the role of connexin43 (Cx43) in mediating glia activation and neuroinflammation in glaucoma. Using Cx43 knockout mice, it is shown that macroglial cells‐derived Cx43 modulates microglial activation, proliferation, migration, and polarization.

Bispecific Antibody Targeting VEGF/TGF‐β Synergizes with Local Radiotherapy: Turning Tumors from Cold to Inflamed and Amplifying Abscopal Effects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Y332D, a bispecific antibody that simultaneously blockades VEGF and TGF‐β, counteracted negative RT effects that are attributed to the upregulation of TGF‐β and VEGF, as well as further enhanced the immunostimulatory effects of RT, thereby reprograming the TME from immune “cold” to inflamed state and forming an effective in‐situ vaccine that eradicate ...

Mitochondrial Regulation of CD8⁺ T Cells: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article comprehensively explores the pivotal role of mitochondrial function in CD8⁺ T cell immunotherapy. It highlights how mitochondrial dynamics regulate T cell activation, differentiation, and persistence, and how mitochondrial dysfunction leads to immune exhaustion and impaired antitumor/antiviral responses.

Genetics of Response to ECT, TMS, Ketamine and Esketamine

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Treatment‐resistant mood disorders are often managed with intensive interventions that include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ketamine, and esketamine, but the role of genetics in clinical response to those interventions is yet to be clearly determined.

Gout and NLRP3 Inflammasome Biology

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
This review describes the three broad stages of acute inflammation in the context of gout: initiation, leucocyte mobilization, and self‐resolution. A typical case of a gout flare is presented. The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in acute monosodium urate crystal–induced inflammation is reviewed in detail.

Exosome as bioactive nanovesicle for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in periodontitis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the mechanism that exosomes participate in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and their potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis and summarizes the application of cell‐ or plant‐derived exosomes or engineered exosomes in periodontitis or periodontal regeneration while proposing the perspective of translational application of ...

Enhancing antitumor immunity through the combination of cholesterolized TLR7 agonist liposomes and radiotherapy: a role for IL‐1β and the inflammasome pathway

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Radiotherapy (RT) is a key treatment modality in cancer therapy, utilizing high‐energy radiation to directly kill tumor cells. Recent research has increasingly highlighted RT's potential to indirectly enhance antitumor immunity. However, this immune activation alone often fails to generate sustained systemic antitumor responses.
