Melanoma is an aggressive cancer with rapid progression, relapse, and metastasis. Systemic therapies for melanoma exhibit limited anticancer potential and high toxicity. Here, we developed the outer membrane vesicles derived from transgenic , modified with αβ integrin peptide targeting ligand and indocyanine green (named as I-P-OMVs), to induce the transdermal photo-TRAIL-programmed treatment in skin melanoma.-OMVs, which are outer membrane vesicles derived from transgenic , modified with αβ integrin targeting ligand and indocyanine green (named as I-P-OMVs), to induce the transdermal photo-TRAIL-programmed treatment in skin melanoma. I-P-OMVs exhibited excellent stratum corneum penetration and specificity to melanoma. Upon near-infrared irritation, I-P-OMVs not only induced photothermal-photodynamic responses against primary melanoma spheroids but also activated TRAIL-induced apoptosis in disseminated tumor cells, resulting in a complete eradication of melanoma. I-P-OMVs are the first nanoplatforms to induce transdermal photo-TRAIL-programmed therapy in melanoma with enhanced antitumor performance and high safety, having great potential in cancer therapy.

Background: The brain is shielded from the peripheral circulation by central nervous system (CNS) barriers, comprising the well-known blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the less recognized blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier located within the brain ventricles. The gut microbiota represents a diverse and dynamic population of microorganisms that can influence the health of the host, including the development of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the intricate mechanisms governing the interplay between the gut and brain remain elusive, and the means by which gut-derived signals traverse the CNS barriers remain unclear.

Background: The pathological correlate most tightly associated with cognitive decline in AD is synapse loss. The presence of pathological tau significantly correlates with synaptotoxicity and cognitive decline in AD, yet it is currently unclear how pathological tau causes synapse loss. Within the brain, complement component C1q coats the outer membrane of weak or damaged synapses, resulting in the phagocytic removal of tagged synapses by microglia.

Lipoproteins are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of bacterial membranes. In Gram-negative bacteria, the localization of lipoprotein (Lol) system facilitates the transport of these proteins from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. In , an ε-proteobacterium, lipoprotein transport differs significantly from the canonical and well-studied system in , particularly due to the absence of LolB and the use of a LolF homodimer instead of the LolCE heterodimer.

Carbapenems are last-resort antibiotics for treating bacterial infections. The widespread acquisition of metallo-β-lactamases, such as VIM-2, contributes to the emergence of carbapenem-resistant pathogens, and currently, no metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors are available in the clinic. Here we show that bacteria expressing VIM-2 have impaired growth in zinc-deprived environments, including human serum and murine infection models.

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.
