Rapid Precision Targeting of Nanoparticles to Lung via Caveolae Pumping System in Endothelium

[Nature Nanotechnology] The authors discovered the ability of the endothelial cell caveolae pumping system to outpace scavenging and deliver nanoparticles rapidly and specifically into the lungs.

An Altered Natural Killer Cell Immunophenotype Characterizes Clinically Severe Pediatric RSV Infection

[Science Translational Medicine] The authors analyzed airway and peripheral blood immune cells from pediatric patients infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) requiring hospitalization.

LN-439A, a Novel BAP1 Inhibitor, Suppresses the Growth of Basal-Like Breast Cancer by Degrading KLF5

[Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] Scientists identified a series of tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives that effectively reduced the protein expression of Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) and exhibited strong antitumour activity.

Complement Factor H Is an ICOS Ligand Modulating Tregs in the Glioma Microenvironment

[Cancer Immunology Research] The authors investigated the impact of complement factor H (FH) on Tregs within the glioma microenvironment and found that FH is an ICOS ligand.

The Extension of Mammalian Pregnancy Required Taming Inflammation: Independent Evolution of Extended Placentation in the Tammar Wallaby

[Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America] By comparing gene expression changes at attachment in three marsupial species, the tammar wallaby, opossum, and fat-tailed dunnart, researchers showed that inflammatory attachment was an ancestral feature of marsupial implantation.

Transformable Gel-to-Nanovaccine Enhances Cancer Immunotherapy via Metronomic-Like Immunomodulation and Collagen-Mediated Paracortex Delivery

[Advanced Materials] By recapitulating the dynamic processes of acute infection, a bioadhesive immune niche domain was developed that facilitated the delivery of timely-activating conjugated nanovaccine (t-CNV) in a metronomic-like manner and increased the accumulation and retention of TANNylated t-CNV in lymph node.

Novel Photo-STING Agonists Delivered by Erythrocyte Efferocytosis-Mimicking Pattern to Repolarize Tumor-Associated Macrophages for Boosting Anticancer Immunotherapy

[Advanced Materials] Scientists presented a newly synthesized and screened manganese porphyrins for Mn2+ transport, referred to as photo-STING agonists, and further encapsulate them into core-shell nanoparticles named Rm@PP-GA with dual specificity for tumor tissue and tumor-associated macrophages.

A Multicenter Open-Label Randomized Phase II Study of Osimertinib with and without Ramucirumab in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor–Naïve EGFR-Mutant Metastatic Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (RAMOSE...

[American Journal of Clinical Oncology-Cancer Clinical Trials] The RAMOSE trial was a randomized, open-label multicenter Phase II study comparing osimertinib with ramucirumab to osimertinib for initial treatment of metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC with 2:1 random assignment.

Government to Fund £120 Blood Test That Could Detect 12 Most Common Cancers

[The Guardian] The UK government will provide funding for a £120 blood test that has the potential to detect the 12 most common forms of cancer before symptoms develop.

Drs. Julie Deutsch, Tamar Nobel, and Yan Yang Receive LUNGevity’s Prestigious Career Development Awards

[LUNGevity Foundation (PR Newswire)] LUNGevity Foundation, the nation's leading lung cancer-focused nonprofit organization, announced the recipients of their 2024 Career Development Awards.

Targeting the MAtrix REgulating MOtif Abolishes Several Hallmarks of Cancer, Triggering Antitumor Immunity

[Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America] Using an immunocompetent autologous breast cancer model, the authors investigated a MAtrix REgulating MOtif-mimicking peptide, which inhibited the protumorigenic ECM molecule tenascin-C that activated several cancer hallmarks.

Regenity Biosciences Receives 510(k) Clearance for RejuvaKneeâ„¢, a Groundbreaking Regenerative Meniscus Implant Device to Redefine the Standard of Care

[Regenity Biosciences (BioSpace)] Regenity Biosciences announced that it has received FDA 510(k) clearance to market RejuvaKnee, a minimally invasive collagen-based meniscal implant indicated for use in the reinforcement and repair of soft tissue injuries of the meniscus.
