Glycosylation, a fundamental biological process, involves the attachment of glycans to proteins, lipids, and RNA, and it plays a crucial role in various biological pathways. It is of great significance to obtain the precise spatial distribution of glycosylation modifications at the cellular and tissue levels. Here, we introduce LectoScape, an innovative method enabling detailed imaging of tissue glycomes with up to 1 μm resolution through image mass cytometry (IMC).

Article Synopsis
  • Microemulsion systems can create nano/microstructures, but there's a lack of understanding in controlling how these structures form at the interface.
  • The researchers propose a new method called nucleation-inhibited microemulsion interfacial assembly to create polydopamine microvesicles (PDA MVs), which resemble cell shapes and are about 1 µm in size.
  • When modified with antibodies, these PDA MVs significantly boost T-cell activation compared to solid nanoparticles, demonstrating their potential as effective artificial antigen-presenting cells.

Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches in cancer analysis typically utilize a 'one-size-fits-all' methodology characterizing average patient responses. This manner neglects the diverse conditions in the pancancer and cancer subtypes of individual patients, resulting in suboptimal outcomes in diagnosis and treatment. To overcome this limitation, we shift from a blanket application of statistics to a focus on the explicit recognition of patient-specific abnormalities.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the commonly used delivery tools for messenger RNA (mRNA) therapy and play an indispensable role in the success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Ionizable cationic lipids are the most important component in LNPs. Herein, we developed a series of new ionizable lipids featuring bioreducible disulfide bonds, and constructed a library of lipids derived from dimercaprol.
