Cancer Immunotherapy: Comprehensive Mechanism Analysis of Mesoporous-Silica-Nanoparticle-Induced Cancer Immunotherapy (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 10/2016).

A plain mesoporous silica (MS) nanoparticle without any immunomodulatory molecules enhances anti-cancer immunity in vivo. On page 1169, X.P. Wang, N. M. Tsuji, A. Ito and co-workers show that a plain MS nanoparticle promotes both Th1 and Th2 immune responses, and enhances the effector memory of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell populations in the three most important immune organs (bone marrow, lymph node and spleen) of mice.
