Composition and Surface Charge of DNA-Loaded Microparticles Determine Maturation and Cytokine Secretion in Human Dendritic Cells [PDF]
Purpose. Biodegradable microparticles prepared from poly(lactide) (PLA) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) have been shown to be promising carrier systems for vaccine delivery.

Age‐related differences in mRNA vaccine immunogenicity and adjuvancy
Older people often respond poorly to mRNA vaccines, with reduced T and B cell responses, but they also bear more morbidity and mortality for infectious diseases. This paper maps age‐related changes in mechanisms of adjuvancy that can shape the immunogenicity of mRNA vaccine in a mouse model. Created in BioRender.

New Role of P. brasiliensis α-Glucan: Differentiation of Non-conventional Dendritic Cells
The cell wall has a critical role in the host immune response to fungal pathogens. In this study, we investigated the influence of two cell wall fractions of the dimorphic fungi Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Pb) in the in vitro generation of monocyte ...

Poly I: C-activated dendritic cells that were generated in CellGro for use in cancer immunotherapy trials [PDF]
Background For clinical applications, dendritic cells (DCs) need to be generated using GMP-approved reagents. In this study, we tested the characteristics of DCs generated in two clinical grade culture media and activated by three maturation stimuli ...

Sex Differences in Metabolite–Immune Circuits of Neuroinflammation
ABSTRACT Sex is a fundamental yet underexplored determinant of human neuroinflammation. Across autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and post‐infectious neurological syndromes, males and females exhibit consistent differences in disease vulnerability, progression, and immune tone.

Numerical and functional defects of blood dendritic cells in early- and late-stage breast cancer [PDF]
The generation of antitumour immunity depends on the nature of dendritic cell (DC)-tumour interactions. These have been studied mostly by using in vitro-derived DC which may not reflect the natural biology of DC in vivo. In breast cancer, only one report

ABSTRACT Chronic wounds, as defined by prolonged inflammation and impaired healing, represent a major and growing healthcare challenge worldwide. Currently, only limited therapeutic options are available to address this condition. This study investigates the potential of soluble CD83 (sCD83), an immunomodulatory molecule, to facilitate wound healing in

FOXP3 and GARP (LRRC32): the master and its minion [PDF]
The transcription factor FOXP3 is essential for the development and function of CD4+CD25hiFOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, but also expressed in activated human helper T cells without acquisition of a regulatory phenotype.
