Multivalent bi-specific nanobioconjugate engager for targeted cancer immunotherapy
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 763 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.69
Authors: Hengfeng Yuan, Wen Jiang, Christina A. von Roemeling, Yaqing Qie, Xiujie Liu, Yuanxin Chen, Yifan Wang, Robert E. Wharen, Kyuson Yun, Guojun Bu, Keith L. Knutson & Betty Y. S. Kim
Tumour-targeted immunotherapy offers the unique advantage of specific tumouricidal effects with reduced immune-associated toxicity. However, existing platforms suffer from low potency, inability to generate long-term immune memory and decreased activities against tumour-cell subpopulations with low targeting receptor levels. Here we adopted a modular design appro...

A STING-activating nanovaccine for cancer immunotherapy
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 648 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.52

The generation of tumour-specific T cells is critically important for cancer immunotherapy. A major challenge in achieving a robust T-cell response is the spatiotemporal orchestration of antigen cross-presentation in antigen-presenting cells with innate stimulation. Here, we report a minimalist nanovaccine, comprising a simple p...

Iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a major global public health problem. A sustainable and cost-effective strategy to reduce IDA is iron fortification of foods, but the most bioavailable fortificants cause adverse organoleptic changes in foods. Iron nanoparticles are a promising solution in food matrices, although their tendency to oxidize and ra...

Few inventions have shaped the world like the incandescent bulb. Edison used thermal radiation from ohmically heated conductors, but some noble metals also exhibit ‘cold’ electroluminescence in percolation films, tunnel diodes, electromigrated nanoparticle aggregates, optical antennas or scanning tunnelling microscopy.
