Hollow metal-organic framework-based, stimulator of interferon genes pathway-activating nanovaccines for tumor immunotherapy.

Nanovaccines have emerged as promising agents for cancer therapy because of their ability to induce specific immune responses without off-target effects. However, inadequate cytotoxic T lymphocyte response and low antigen/adjuvant encapsulation remain major obstacles to vaccinating against cancer. Herein, we designed a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway-activating nanovaccine based on hollow metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for tumor treatment.

An ECM-mimicking assembled gelatin/hyaluronic acid hydrogel with antibacterial and radical scavenging functions for accelerating open wound healing.

A multifunctional hydrogel dressing with hemostatic, antibacterial, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-removing properties is highly desirable for the clinical treatment of open wounds. Although many wound dressings have been prepared, the modification of polymers is often involved in the preparation process, and the uncertainty of biological safety and stability of modified polymers hinders the clinical application of products. In this study, inspired by the composition and crosslinking pattern of extracellular matrix (ECM), a deeply ECM-mimicking multifunctional hydrogel dressing is created.
