Article Abstract

Immunosuppressive microenvironment and poor immunogenicity are two stumbling blocks in anti-tumor immune activation. Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) play crucial roles in immunosuppressive microenvironment, while immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a typical strategy to boost immunogenicity. Herein, we developed a coordinative modular assembly-based self-reinforced nanoparticle, (CaO/TA)-(Fe/BSA) which integrated CaO, Fe-tannic acid coordinated networks and albumin under the instruction of molecular dynamics simulation. (CaO/TA)-(Fe/BSA) could significantly enhance Fenton reaction through Fe self-reduction and HO self-sufficiency, and simultaneously increased intracellular accumulation of Ca. The self-augmented Fenton reaction with sufficient reactive oxygen species effectively repolarized TAMs and elicited ICD with Ca overload. Besides, (CaO/TA)-(Fe/BSA) was confirmed to self-reinforce deep tumor drug delivery by "treatment-delivery" positive feedback based on gp60-mediated transcytosis and M2-like macrophages repolarization-mediated perfusion promotion. Resultantly, (CaO/TA)-(Fe/BSA) effectively alleviated immunosuppression, provoked local and systemic immune response and potentiated anti-PD-1 antibody therapy. Our strategy highlights a facile and controllable approach to construct penetrated effective antitumor nano-immunotherapeutic agent.

Healthcare systems across Europe and globally are increasingly challenged by the need to deliver high-quality, coordinated care for complex patient populations, such as those living with chronic heart failure (CHF). Many national healthcare policies consider the adoption and implementation of patient-centred and interoperable information communication technologies-enabled solutions offered in a single digital platform as a key facilitator towards the transition to integrated and coordinated care. Aiming to support CHF patients and to assist their management, in this paper, we present CareCardia, a modular digital solution designed to support the comprehensive management of CHF.

Self-Regulating Hydrogel Actuators.

Self-regulating hydrogels represent the next generation in the development of soft materials with active, adaptive, autonomous, and intelligent behavior inspired by sophisticated biological systems. Nature provides exemplary demonstrations of such self-regulating behaviors, including muscle tissue's precise biochemical and mechanical feedback mechanisms, and coordinated cellular chemotaxis driven by dynamic biochemical signaling. Building upon these natural examples, self-regulating hydrogels are capable of spontaneously modulating their structural and functional states through integrated negative feedback loops.

Left Ventricular Motion Analysis Framework for the MATRIX-VT Study.

Purpose: Ultrasound (US) is commonly used to assess left ventricular motion for examination of heart function. In stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) therapy, managing cardiorespiratory motion during radiation delivery requires representation of motion information in computed tomography (CT) coordinates. Similar to conventional US-guided navigation during surgical procedures, 3D US can provide real-time motion data of the radiation target that could be transferred to CT coordinates and then be accounted for by the radiation system.

Transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II is a tightly regulated process that requires coordinated interactions between elongation factors. IWS1 (Interacts with SPT6) has been implicated as a core elongation factor, but its molecular role remains unclear. We show that the intrinsically disordered C-terminal region of IWS1 contains short linear motifs (SLiMs) that multivalently engage the elongation machinery.

Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT) has achieved curative responses in hematological malignancies, yet its translation to solid tumors remains limited by manufacturing bottlenecks, systemic toxicities, and poor T-cell infiltration and persistence within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we report the development and mechanism of ACTIVATE (Adoptive Cell Therapy and Immunostimulatory Vehicle for Anti-Tumor Efficacy), which leverages an injectable hydrogel depot technology that forms a transient inflammatory niche for localized co-delivery of adoptive T cells and native cytokines. By tuning cytokine identity, ACTIVATE enables precise modulation of T-cell expansion, effector function, and interaction with endogenous immune networks.
