Nanocomposite scaffolds for accelerating chronic wound healing by enhancing angiogenesis

Hamed Nosrati et al.

Summary: The skin serves as the body's primary barrier against external pathogens and maintaining homeostasis. Damage to the skin can have significant impacts on health and quality of life. Tissue engineering aims to enhance tissue regeneration, with improving angiogenesis being one of the most effective treatments for skin tissue regeneration.

Development of a Chimeric Vaccine Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Based on the Th17-Stimulating Epitopes of PcrV and AmpC

Ying Wang et al.

Summary: Two novel PA antigens, PcrV and AmpC, were identified in this study to effectively induce Th17-dependent protection. Intranasal immunization enhanced the protective effect of PcrV, and the recombinant protein PVAC was successfully designed to elicit broad protective immunity against PA. These results offer an alternative strategy for developing Th17-based vaccines against PA and other pathogens.

A Virus-Mimicking Nucleic Acid Nanogel Reprograms Microglia and Macrophages for Glioblastoma Therapy

Xihui Gao et al.

Summary: Immunotherapy is a promising approach for treating cancers, but its effectiveness in glioblastoma treatment is limited due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. A virus-mimicking membrane-coated nucleic acid nanogel, Vir-Gel, has been developed to reprogram microglia and macrophages from a pro-invasive M2 phenotype to an anti-tumor M1 phenotype. This approach significantly enhances the targetability and cell uptake efficiency of therapeutic miRNA, demonstrating improved tumor inhibition efficacy.

The assembly of β-barrel outer membrane proteins

David Tomasek et al.

Summary: The article discusses β-barrel integral membrane proteins in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, focusing on how the Bam machine accelerates folding and membrane integration, and the mechanism of capturing substrates through hydrogen bonding between the N-terminal β-strand of BamA and the C-terminal β-strand of the substrate.

Zahra Sadri Najafabadi et al.

Summary: The study designed and constructed a trivalent chimeric protein SEI to combat pathogenicity of EHEC. Through sequence optimization and immunoinformatics analysis, the high antigenicity of the protein was validated. Experimental results indicated that the designed protein exhibited good immunogenicity in mice.

Vaccines for multidrug resistant Gram negative bacteria: lessons from the past for guiding future success

Mireia Lopez-Siles et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance poses a major threat to global public health, and vaccines have the potential to reduce the burden of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, technical, logistical and societal hurdles have hindered successful vaccine development. This review discusses past efforts, current advances, and future directions in the development of vaccines for these problematic pathogens.
