Decrypting the Immune Symphony for RNA Vaccines.

Vaccines (Basel)

August 2025

Ziphius NV, Zwijnaarde, 9052 Ghent, Belgium.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine technology has revolutionized the field of immunization, offering a non-infectious, non-genome-integrating platform that addresses many limitations of traditional vaccine modalities. Recent advancements in chemical modifications, delivery systems, and manufacturing processes have enhanced the stability, efficacy, and safety of RNA-based therapeutics, expanding their application beyond infectious diseases to include genetic disorders, cancer, and rare diseases. Central to the success of RNA vaccines is their ability to orchestrate a finely tuned immune response, leveraging both innate and adaptive immunity to achieve robust and durable protection.

This study investigates the impact of environmental factors and lipid composition on the structural and morphological properties of DPPC/DOPC (1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) monolayers. Temperature plays a significant role in DPPC monolayer behavior; at 15°C and 20°C, DPPC exhibits liquid expanded-liquid condensed coexistence, while at 25°C, this coexistence region disappears. Divalent ions (CaCl) enhance more compact and uniform DPPC packing compared to monovalent ions (KCl), reducing mean area per molecule.

Cytokine symphony: Deciphering the tumor microenvironment and metastatic axis in oral cancer.

Cytokine Growth Factor Rev

June 2025

Cancer Biology Laboratory, Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG), Guwahati, Assam 781039, India. Electronic address:

Oral cancer remains one of the deadliest diseases due to its aggressive nature, high metastatic potential, and limited therapeutic success. The tumor microenvironment (TME) serves as a central regulator in the metastasis of oral cancer by shaping tumor-stroma interactions, immune modulation, and metastatic dissemination. Among the key regulators of the TME, cytokines act as one of the molecular orchestrators, mediating inflammation, immune suppression, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), angiogenesis, and metastatic niche formation.
