Aims: To compare the immunogenicity and anti-tumor effects of gene vaccines encoding domains 1-4 with full length of extracellular region of VEGFR2.
Results: Both DNA vaccines decreased VEGF levels and rose specific antibodies; the lymphocyte subsets of vaccinated mice maintained high; tumor latency period and survival time of immunized mice were prolonged; tumor size, weight, MVD and liver metastases were significantly less than the control groups.
Methods: Mouse model of CT-26 adenocarcinoma of colon were treated with orally immunized gene vaccine encoding extracellular 1-4 and full length of VEGFR2 respectively. The effect of anti-tumor was evaluated by detecting the tumor volume, mice survival time, intratumoral microvessel density (MVD) and liver metastases. To explore the reasonable mechanism of the oral gene vaccines, the levels of VEGF and anti-VEGFR2 antibody in serum were detected by ELISA, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood and subcutaneous tumors were analyzed by flow cytometer and immunohischemistry respectively.
Conclusion: Compared with full length of extracellular domain of VEGFR2, extracellular regions 1-4 of VEGFR2 has been sufficient to decrease the serum VEGF level and to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis specifically.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most prevalent gynecological malignancy, characterized by high mortality rates due to its late-stage diagnosis and frequent recurrence. The current standard of care for ovarian cancer is a combination of debulking surgery followed by the conventional mode of chemotherapy. Despite significant advances in therapeutic modalities, the overall survival rate of EOC continues to be poor, mainly because low concentrations of the chemotherapeutics reach the peritoneum, which is the primary site of ovarian cancer, leading to disease relapse.

Intranasal delivery of mRNA vaccines offers promising opportunities to combat airborne viruses like SARS-CoV-2 by provoking mucosal immunity, which not only defends against respiratory infection but also prevents contagious transmission. However, the development of nasal mRNA vaccines has been hampered by the lack of effective means to overcome the mucus barrier. Herein, ionizable lipid-incorporated liquid lipid nanoparticles (iLLNs) capable of delivering mRNA cargo across airway mucosa are designed.

Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a significant role in human breast cancer as a major stromal component. While their role in promoting cancer proliferation and malignancy through interaction with cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment is known, the exact mechanisms behind this interaction are not fully understood.
Results: Our study reveals that lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1), a central transcription factor for Wnt/β-catenin signaling, is expressed in experimentally generated tumor-promoting CAFs (exp-CAFs) as well as in CAFs from breast cancer patients, particularly those with a poor prognosis.

Theranostics, combining therapeutic and diagnostic functions, marks a revolutionary advancement in modern medicine, with microneedle technology at its forefront. This review explores the substantial developments and multifaceted applications of microneedles, which have evolved from basic transdermal drug delivery devices to sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Microneedles enhance access to biomarkers via interstitial fluid, enabling real-time monitoring of physiological conditions, such as glucose and hormone levels, thus facilitating continuous health tracking.
