Ionizable Lipid‐Dependent Optimization of Steroid Lipid Nanoparticles With Tunable Immunomodulatory Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel engineering strategy that establishes material design principles for incorporating anti‐inflammatory steroids into lipid nanoparticles to reduce LNP‐induced inflammation while retaining mRNA delivery. Results are validated in vitro and in three animal models of inflammation and autoimmunity in vivo.

Vaccination history as a confounder of studies of influenza vaccine effectiveness

open access: yesVaccine: X, 2019
Vaccination history may confound estimates of influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) when two conditions are present: (1) Influenza vaccination is associated with vaccination history and (2) vaccination modifies the risk of natural infection in the following seasons, either due to persisting vaccination immunity or due to lower previous risk of natural ...

Programmable Carrier‐Free All‐Enzyme Beads for Modular Continuous‐Flow Biocatalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Genetically encoded enzyme building blocks self‐assemble into monodisperse, carrier‐free protein beads via a droplet‐based formulation strategy. These programmable catalytic particles enable modular continuous‐flow biocatalysis, from single‐enzyme reactions to multi‐enzyme cascades and bead–bead coupled reactor systems.

Evaluation of the field-protective effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccine among Korean children aged < 5 years during the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 influenza seasons: a cohort study

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Background: A field effectiveness evaluation of the influenza vaccine among children younger than five years is important due to the high burden of influenza in this age group. The epidemiology of influenza virus changes rapidly each year.

Increasing Lipid Nanoparticle mRNA Copy Number Improves Transfection Potency

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
As lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems are the leading platform for in vivo nucleic acid delivery, improving transfection potency of these systems is of considerable interest. In this work, we explored a post‐mixing formulation method involving a two‐step buffer exchange that increased the number of mRNA copies within each LNP while reducing the number of
