Nano delivery of simvastatin targets liver sinusoidal endothelial cells to remodel tumor microenvironment for hepatocellular carcinoma

Zhuo Yu et al.

Summary: This study found that the characteristics of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are closely related to the development and prognosis of fibrotic HCC. Simvastatin restores the quiescence of activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) by stimulating LSECs and upregulating the expression of CXCL16 in LSECs. LSEC-targeted delivery of simvastatin not only alleviates LSEC capillarization, but also inhibits tumor progression by recruiting natural killer T (NKT) cells through CXCL16. Conclusion: Simvastatin has an immune-based therapeutic effect on remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in HCC, providing a new strategy for HCC treatment.

Anti-infection mechanism of a novel dental implant made of titanium-copper (TiCu) alloy and its mechanism associated with oral microbiology

Hui Liu et al.

Summary: This study focused on investigating the anti-infection ability and underlying mechanism of a novel titanium-copper dental implant. The titanium-copper implant demonstrated remarkable anti-infection potentials and excellent biocompatibility compared to the pure titanium implant. The underlying anti-infection mechanism was found to involve maintaining the oral microbiota balance, preventing the formation of an acidic microenvironment, and inhibiting the accumulation of acidogens and pathogens.
