Aim: The objective of this project was to explore the influence of immunoactive drugs (tactivin, thymulin, and thymosin fraction 5) on the development of the passive avoidance conditioned reflex.
Materials And Methods: Two types of passive avoidance boxes were used--a regular two-chamber box and a modified three-chamber box, comprising a dark chamber in which rats were exposed to electrical shock, a safe dark chamber, and a light chamber in the center.
Results: The project has established that the memory trace persists longer under the influence of the immunoactive drugs in both models, which is consistent with the reference nootropic piracetam test results. Notably, the immunoactive drugs' mnemotropic effect was more pronounced in the modified three-chamber box than in the standard two-chamber box. Using the modified box helped to establish the influence of tactivin, thymulin, and thymosin fraction 5 on the spatial memory component. Immunotropic preparations from thymus caused the animals to select the safe chamber 24 hours later and in subsequent tests.
Conclusion: The project's results indicate that the drugs tested do possess mnemotropic properties, so their range of clinical use can be broadened.

Oligosaccharides always have better water solubility, higher possibilities for modification, and unique biofunctions compared with polysaccharides, but they are rarely used as the matrix of a hydrogel. Here, we prepared a composite BKOS/HPGA/PL hydrogel (BKPP hydrogel) constructed by hydrazone/imine bonds between the aldehyde groups of benzaldehyde-modified konjac glucomannan oligosaccharide (BKOS) and the primary amino groups of both hydrazide-modified polyglutamic acid (HPGA) and ε-polylysine (ε-PL). The hydrogels had both injectable and self-healing properties.

The limited efficacy of cancer immunotherapy occurs due to the lack of spatiotemporal orchestration of adaptive immune response stimulation and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment modulation. Herein, we report a nanoplatform fabricated using a pH-sensitive triblock copolymer synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization enabling in situ tumor vaccination and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) polarization. The nanocarrier itself can induce melanoma immunogenic cell death (ICD) via tertiary amines and thioethers concentrating on mitochondria to regulate metabolism in triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and upregulating gasdermin D for pyroptosis as well as some features of ferroptosis and apoptosis.

Cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are major alkylating agents but their therapeutics uses are limiting by the toxicity due to several toxicities. Indeed conventional chemotherapies are generally used with the maximum tolerated dose. In contrast, metronomic schedule aims to get a minimum dose for efficacy with a good safety.

Human mesenchymal stromal cell (hMSC) manufacturing requires the production of large numbers of therapeutically potent cells. Licensing with soluble cytokines improves hMSC therapeutic potency by enhancing secretion of immunoactive factors but typically decreases proliferative ability. Soft hydrogels, however, have shown promise for boosting immunomodulatory potential, which may compensate for decreased proliferation.
