Bivalent norovirus mRNA vaccine elicits cellular and humoral responses protecting human enteroids from GII.4 infection.

Nucleoside-modified mRNA-LNP vaccines have revolutionized vaccine development against infectious pathogens due to their ability to elicit potent humoral and cellular immune responses. In this article, we present the results of the first norovirus vaccine candidate employing mRNA-LNP platform technology. The mRNA-LNP bivalent vaccine encoding the major capsid protein VP1 from GI.

Targeted delivery of TGF-β mRNA to lung parenchyma using one-component ionizable amphiphilic Janus Dendrimers.

Current clinical strategies for the delivery of pulmonary therapeutics to the lung are primarily targeted to the upper portions of the airways. However, targeted delivery to the lower regions of the lung is necessary for the treatment of parenchymal lung injury and disease. Here, we have developed an mRNA therapeutic for the lower lung using one-component Ionizable Amphiphilic Janus Dendrimers (IAJDs) as a delivery vehicle.

Synthetic DNA Delivery of an Engineered Arginase Enzyme Can Modulate Specific Immunity .

Arginase is a complex and unique enzyme that plays diverse roles in health and disease. By metabolizing arginine, it can shape the outcome of innate and adaptive immune responses. The immunomodulatory capabilities of arginase could potentially be applied for local immunosuppression or induction of immune tolerance.
