The cardiac microenvironment profoundly restricts the efficacy of myocardial regeneration tactics for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). A prospective approach for MI therapeutics encompasses the combined strategy of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to alleviate oxidative stress injury and facilitating macrophage polarization towards the regenerative M2 phenotype. In this investigation, we fabricated a ROS-sensitive hydrogel engineered to deliver our previously engineered IL-1β-VHH for myocardial restoration.

More importantly, AIV is capable of cross-species transmission among mammals, posing a dormant yet considerable threat to human health and safety. In this study, two rapid detection methods for AIV based on the CRISPR-Cas13a were developed.

One treatment modality, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy, has shown promise for various cancers. However, the treatment efficacy of CAR-NK cells for HCC remain inferior.
