Scavenger Receptor A: A New Route for Adenovirus 5
Adenoviruses are common pathogens associated with respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal illnesses and/or conjunctivitis. Currently, this virus is used as a vector in gene therapy trials. The promise of viral gene therapy applications is substantially reduced because the virus is cleared by liver macrophages upon systemic administration.

Nanobody‐Decorated Lipid Nanoparticles for Enhanced mRNA Delivery to Tumors In Vivo
This study presents a targeted mRNA‐LNP platform engineered with anti‐PSMA nanobodies for prostate cancer therapy. Using different in vivo models, the authors demonstrate selective uptake and mRNA delivery in PSMA+ cancer cells. However, while targeting is enhanced, mRNA delivery efficacy is limited by tissue penetration, tumor necrosis, and immune ...

Macrophage Scavenger Receptors and Atherosclerosis
A hallmark of atherosclerosis is the deposition of plasma cholesterol in atherosclerotic plaques in arterial walls. Key cellular components of atherosclerotic plaques are foam cells, which are derived from monocytes-macrophages. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanism of foam cell formation, we cloned and characterized cDNA for type I and II MSR.

Progress of Immune‐Inducible Biomaterials for Post‐Ablation Cancers
The presence of residual tumors after ablative therapies poses a significant challenge, generally resulting in recurrence and metastases. This review offers a concise overview of immune‐inducible biomaterials from the perspective of the cancer‐immunity cycle, and how they enhance antitumor immunity through diverse mechanisms following ablative ...
