Summary: To improve the response rate of immune checkpoint inhibitors in immunosuppressive cancers, a self-amplified biomimetic nanosystem was constructed to induce immunogenic cell death at tumor sites. The nanosystem effectively reverses the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, leading to distinctive inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Summary: A study utilizing a thermal inkjet system to dispense sub-nanoliter cell-laden droplets identified droplet impact velocity and droplet volume as significant factors affecting the viability and proliferation of printed cells. Increasing cell concentration leads to slower impact velocity, improving cell viability, while a minimum droplet volume of 20 nL helps mitigate evaporation-induced cell damage. Control of droplet impact velocity and volume is crucial for viability and proliferation of printed human primary cells in sub-nanoliter bioprinting.
