Innovation and zombie firms: Empirical evidence from Italy

open access: yesResearch Policy
Zombie firms are businesses that cannot repay debt from current profits over an extended period and yet continue to operate and avoid failure. This article specifically investigates whether and under what circumstances the presence of zombies in an industry constitutes a barrier to the innovativeness of non-zombies in the same sector. Conceptually, non-

Tuning Mechanoreceptor Signaling Enhances the Adjuvant Effect of Biomaterial Vaccines

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 66, 17 August 2026.
Matrix stiffness serves as an independent immunological signal in biomaterial vaccines. Stiffer microporous hydrogel vaccines enhance dendritic cell maturation and migration to draining lymph nodes, promote T follicular helper cell expansion through Yap/Taz signaling, and increase antigen‐specific antibody production.

Temporal Immune and Metabolic Shifts Drive the Anti‐Tumor Efficacy of Resiquimod‐Loaded Nanoparticles in Peritoneal Carcinomatosis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 30, 14 August 2026.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a hard‐to‐treat spread of abdominal cancers that often returns after therapy. Nanoparticles were developed to retain an immune‐boosting drug in the abdomen. When combined with chemotherapy in mice, this approach eliminated tumors in many cases and prevented recurrence, helping the immune system mount a stronger, longer ...

Tumor‐Derived LAMB3 Drives Immunosuppressive LRRC15+ Fibroblast Formation During Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Development

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
A single‐cell atlas of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma development reveals progressive ductal‐fibroblast‐immune crosstalk. Tumor‐derived LAMB3 drives the formation of immunosuppressive LRRC15+ fibroblasts through the ITGB1/FAK/MAPK/FOSL2 signaling. Glycolytic reprogramming upregulates LAMB3 and correlates with LRRC15+ fibroblast enrichment.

The share of zombie firms in Germany

open access: yes, 2019
In recent years of economic slowdown and low policy rates, economies are in danger of accumulating unhealthy and unproductive firms. These zombie firms are unable to repay debt nor cover their interest obligations, kept alive by a continuous loan supply by unsound banks.

Nonviral Gold Nanoparticle‐Mediated Delivery of CRISPR‐Cas9 Ribonucleoprotein and Long DNA Transgenes Into Primary Blood Cells

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized the field of gene therapy, but delivery remains an outstanding issue. We propose a nonviral gold‐nanoparticle platform for co‐delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein and long 2.1 kilobase dsDNA transgene constructs. This CRISPR‐AuNP is inexpensive to produce and mediate gene editing and DNA delivery in T cells and CD34+

Gamma Delta T Cells in Shrimp Allergy Express a Unique Cytotoxic Cytokine Profile

open access: yesClinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Shellfish allergy is the most common food allergy in adults and the third most common in children. γδ T cells have been identified as playing a critical role in antigen tolerance in allergic diseases in mouse models. In humans, γδ T cells may play a regulatory role in peanut immunotherapy, and their role in shrimp allergy remains unclear.

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

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
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 ...
