Biomimetic Nanovaccine Integrating Dendritic Cell Exosomes with Tumor Cell Membranes for Sustained Prophylaxis Against Glioblastoma

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We have developed DEX/GM, an all‐natural, personalizable hybrid vaccine designed by coating dendritic cell‐derived exosomes (DEX) onto tumor cell membranes (GM) for sustained prophylaxis against glioblastoma (GBM). ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most aggressive and lethal brain tumors, remains incurable with a poor clinical prognosis.

Influence of Interleukin IL-2 and IL-12 + IL-18 on Surface Expression of Immunoglobulin-Like Receptors KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2, and KIR3DL2 in Natural Killer Cells

Mediators of Inflammation, 2006
Natural killer (NK) cells express killer cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) that recognize polymorphic class I MHC molecules. In the present study, we analyze the modulatory effect of IL-2 alone or a combination of IL-12 with IL-18 on surface expression of

Multi‐Responsive Dendrimer‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel With Lubricating and Immunoregulatory Functions for Synergistic Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel with dynamic cross‐links was formed by cross‐linking hyaluronic acid with curcumin‐preloaded, phenylboronic acid‐modified poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. This hydrogel exhibited excellent injectability and self‐healing ability, enabling controlled Cur release in response to low pH, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, or mechanical ...

Advanced cytokine-based immunotherapies: targeted cis-delivery strategies for enhanced anti-tumor efficacy and reduced toxicity

mAbs
First-generation cancer immunotherapies, such as high-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2), have demonstrated clinical efficacy, but are limited by significant systemic toxicities due to their broad expression of cytokine receptors.

Unique Action of Interleukin-18 on T Cells and Other Immune Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Interleukin (IL)-18 was originally discovered as a factor that enhances interferon (IFN)-γ production by anti-CD3-stimulated Th1 cells, particularly in association with IL-12. IL-12 is a cytokine that induces development of Th1 cells. IL-18 cannot induce

A functional interleukin 12 receptor complex is composed of two β-type cytokine receptor subunits

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996
We have identified a cDNA from a human phytohemagglutinin-activated lymphoblast library encoding a protein that binds125I-labeled human interleukin 12 (125I-huIL-12) with aKdof about 5 nM when expressed in COS-7 cells. When coexpressed in COS-7 cells with the previously identified IL-12 β receptor (IL-12Rβ) protein, two classes of125I-huIL-12 binding ...

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Microfluidic Modeling of Macrophage‐Induced Cardiac Inflammation Using NF‐κB Reporter Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A cardiac inflammation model was developed to enable real‐time analysis of macrophage‐cardiomyocyte interactions using NF‐κB‐reporter cardiomyocytes and a microfluidic co‐culture system. A MATLAB‐based model was implemented to optimize cell density and medium resupply based on TNFα diffusion kinetics. Activation thresholds and stress responses in NF‐κB‐

Infusible Extracellular Matrix Biomaterial Enhances Cell‐Specific Pro‐Repair Responses Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We measure the cell‐specific responses of administering infusible ECM (iECM) in acute myocardial infarction (MI) across multiple timepoints. Using single‐nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we measure macrophage activation, fibroblast remodeling, increased vascular development, lymphangiogenesis, cardioprotection, and neurogenesis ...

Ameliorative Effects of Polygonatum kingianum Polysaccharides on Lipid Metabolism Disorders and Brain Function Impairments in Obese Mice [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
To study the effects of Polygonatum kingianum polysaccharides (PKP) on lipid metabolism disorders and brain function impairments in obese mice, the obese mice were treated with PKP, prepared by enzyme-assisted extraction, for 12 weeks.
