Dendritic-cell-targeting Virus-like Particles as Potent mRNA Vaccine Carriers Introduction In vaccine development, especially mRNA vaccines, significant achievements have been made in recent years. The mRNA vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech against COVID-19 have set a successful precedent, greatly advancing the development of mRNA v...

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors for Enhanced Immunosuppression Background Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are pluripotent cells found in almost all tissues and possess significant immunosuppressive and regenerative properties. These features make MSCs widely studied for the treatment of immune diseases and tissue regenera...

Oncolytic Mineralized Bacteria May Be Used for Tumor Immunotherapy via Local Injection Research Background As a novel cancer treatment method, bacteria-based cancer immunotherapy has a long history dating back to the late 19th century when heated, inactivated bacteria were used to treat sarcomas. Initial trials found that these bacteria could trigg...

Physical Immunoevasion: Attenuated Mechanical Communication Facilitates Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Cells to Evade Macrophage Attack Background Introduction Cancer metastasis is a complex and daunting challenge, with metastatic cancer cells capable of evading immune cell attacks, breaching the extracellular matrix (ECM), and migrating to other sit...

Predictive Autoantibody Signature for Multiple Sclerosis Academic Background and Research Significance Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS). Previous studies have mostly suggested that T cells play a major role in the pathogenesis of MS. Howe...

The Effectiveness of Bivalent CAR T-Cell Therapy Targeting EGFR and IL13Rα2 in Treating Recurrent Glioblastoma In recent years, the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma (RGBM) has been continually explored and improved, yet overall survival rates remain less than one year, presenting a significant challenge. The limitations of existing treatments an...

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analysis Reveal Association between NOMO1 and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord gradually degrade. Although the genetic susceptibility of sporadic ALS patients remains uncertain, TDP-4...

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Mainly Damage Extrasynaptic Components Background Information In recent years, neuroimmunology research has revealed various neurological and psychiatric diseases associated with autoantibodies. In these disorders, autoantibodies target various molecules, including receptor membrane proteins, causing abnormal neural sys...

Research Background The core focus of this study is the manifestation of gray matter atrophy in neuroinflammatory diseases. Gray matter atrophy typically appears in four types of neuroinflammatory demyelinating diseases: Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) positive (AQP4+) and negative (AQP4-) for aquaporin-4 an...

Integrated Molecular and Spatial Analysis Reveals Evolutionary Dynamics and Tumor-Immune Interactions in In Situ and Invasive Acral Melanoma Academic Background of the Paper Melanoma is a type of skin cancer, and acral melanoma (AM) is a kind that occurs on non-exposed areas such as the palms, soles, and under the nails and is particularly common a...
