A simple procedure for obtaining outer membrane vesicles from Salmonella enterica and the use of hydrogels as vaccine delivery system is described. A heat treatment in saline solution of whole bacteria rendered the release of outer membrane vesicles containing relevant antigenic components. The immunogenicity of these antigens when administered by the intranasal route may be improved after embedment into hydrogels to increase residence half-time and thus activate the mucosal immune system.

Purpose: To quantify outer retina structural changes and define novel biomarkers of inherited retinal degeneration associated with biallelic mutations in RPE65 (RPE65-IRD) in patients before and after subretinal gene augmentation therapy with voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna).
Methods: Application of advanced deep learning for automated retinal layer segmentation, specifically tailored for RPE65-IRD. Quantification of five novel biomarkers for the ellipsoid zone (EZ): thickness, granularity, reflectivity, and intensity.

The increasing antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, responsible for both community-acquired and hospital-acquired infections, is of global significance. The primary mechanisms contributing to resistance development in P.aeruginosa include the increased activity of efflux pumps, decreased permeability of outer membrane porins and the production of carbapenemases.

The escalating prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections has emerged as a critical global health crisis, undermining the efficacy of conventional antibiotic therapies. This pressing challenge necessitates the development of innovative strategies to combat MDR pathogens. Advances in multifunctional drug delivery systems offer promising solutions to reduce or eradicate MDR bacteria.

Chemoresistance is an important factor in multiple myeloma (MM) relapse and overall survival. However, the mechanism underlying resistance remains unclear. In this study, we identified adenine nucleotide translocase 3 (ANT3) as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for MM progression and resistance to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ).

Biphasic system not only presents a promising opportunity for complex catalytic processes, but also is a grand challenge in efficient tandem reactions. As an emerging solar-to-chemical conversion, the visible-light-driven and water-donating hydrogenation combines the sustainability of photocatalysis and economic-value of hydrogenation. However, the key and challenging point is to couple water-soluble photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with oil-soluble hydrogenation.
