[Small] By using primary human DCs, scientists showed that hexagonal boron nitride, graphene oxide and molybdenum disulphide had minimal effects on the viability of primary human dendritic cells.

[Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] Scientists summarize the knowledge on cellular participants and key inflammatory signaling pathways in atherosclerosis, and discuss the preclinical studies targeting these key pathways for atherosclerosis, the clinical trials that are going to target some of these processes, and the effects of quelling inflammation and atherosclerosis in the clinic.

[JAMA Network Open] The authors suggested that short-term exposure to particulate matter and black carbon was associated with increased risk of positive polymerase chain reaction test results for SARS-CoV-2

[NPJ Vaccines] Investigators evaluated the immunogenicity of a newly formulated gE protein-based herpes zoster vaccine containing Second-generation Lipid Adjuvant, a synthetic TLR4 ligand, formulated in an oil-in-water emulsion without QS21/

[Scientific Reports] Researchers designed a Chlamydia trachomatis vaccine based on a fragment of polymorphic protein D that proved to be immunogenic enough to generate a robust systemic and mucosal IgG humoral immune response in two strains of mice.

[Cellular & Molecular Immunology] Scientists showed that internal influenza virus proteins were released from infected cells. Among these proteins, nucleoprotein played a critical role in viral pathogenesis by stimulating neighboring cells through toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4, and the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome.
