Defining Composition–Cytokine Relationships Enables the Design of Lipid Nanoparticles with Programmed Immunogenicity

Small, EarlyView.
Lipid nanoparticle composition governs distinct cytokine programs through the interplay of ionizable and polyethylene glycol‐conjugated (PEGylated) lipids. In vitro profiling, design of experiments (DoE) modeling, and in vivo validation reveal how formulation can tune reactogenicity‐associated pathways, while transgene expression remains the strongest ...

Climate‐Modulated Particle Toxicity: Acute Exposure to an Environmentally Informed Microplastic Mixture Induces Sex‐Dependent Systemic Reorganization in Swiss Mice

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is widely recognized as an emerging environmental threat. Yet, most studies still rely on controlled experimental conditions that poorly reflect environmental complexity, potentially underestimating risks under realistic scenarios, particularly during short‐term exposures. Here, we tested whether acute oral exposure

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –
