Article Abstract
Biosafety hazards can trigger a host immune response after infection, invasion, or contact with the host. Whether infection with a microorganism results in disease or biosafety concerns depends to a large extent on the immune status of the population. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the immunological characteristics of the host and the mechanisms of biological threats and agents to protect the host more effectively. Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, such as the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, have raised concerns regarding both biosafety and immunology worldwide. Interdisciplinary studies involved in biosafety and immunology are relevant in many fields, including the development of vaccines and other immune interventions such as monoclonal antibodies and T-cells, herd immunity (or population-level barrier immunity), immunopathology, and multispecies immunity, i.e., animals and even plants. Meanwhile, advances in immunological science and technology are occurring rapidly, resulting in important research achievements that may contribute to the recognition of emerging biosafety hazards, as well as early warning, prevention, and defense systems. This review provides an overview of the interdisciplinary field of biosafety and immunology. Close collaboration and innovative application of immunology in the field of biosafety is becoming essential for human health.

Introduction: Galectin-9 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin that functions as a critical pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the host immune system, initiating immune defense responses by recognizing and binding to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of microorganisms. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel galectin-9 cDNA, designated CcGal-9, from Yellow River carp ().
Methods: The full-length CcGal-9 cDNA was cloned and sequenced, and its structural features were analyzed.

The innovative fungus-mite collaborative control strategy based on the high resistance of predatory mites to entomopathogenic fungi offers significant advantages. However, the resistance mechanisms of predatory mites to entomopathogenic fungi remain poorly characterized. Additionally, the pathogenic and lethal risks of broad-spectrum entomopathogenic fungi to predatory mites pose constraints on their application.

Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019, the cumulative number of confirmed cases worldwide has surpassed 778 million, and the number of deaths has exceeded 7 million, posing a significant threat to human life and health while inflicting enormous losses on the global economy. At the stage where sequential immunization is recommended, there is a pressing demand for mRNA vaccines that can be rapidly adapted to new sequences, are easy to industrialize, and exhibit high safety and effectiveness. We developed a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system, designated as WNP, which facilitates essentially in situ expression at the injection site and results in lower levels of pro-inflammatory factors in the liver, thus enhancing its safety compared to liver-targeted alternatives.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3 (eIF4A3)-mediated RNA metabolism is essential for cellular homeostasis and viral replication. However, its role in regulating antiviral innate immunity during pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that eIF4A3 protein expression was significantly downregulated both in vitro and in vivo during PRV infection.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) presents a significant clinical challenge, with conventional therapies carrying substantial risks, including urinary retention, sexual dysfunction, and prolonged recovery. To address the urgent need for safer, ultra-minimally invasive alternatives, we developed a sonosensitizing nanoplatform using copper-manganese-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Cu-Mn@SiO) for ultrasound-induced sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Here, we demonstrate that this innovative strategy provides highly effective and precisely targeted therapy for BPH.
