The ideal vaccine delivery systems can not only deliver antigens in intelligent manners but also act as adjuvants. Recently found that Mn can effectively stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, and Ca can regulate autophagy to promote the cross-presentation of antigens. Thus, we constructed such a manganese-containing multimode vaccine delivery system by using calcium-doped manganese carbonate microspheres (Ca@MnCO) and perforin-listeria hemolysin (LLO), as termed as Ca@MnCO/LLO. The two components Ca@MnCO and LLO, not only act as vaccine adjuvants by themselves, but also contribute to achieve cellular immunity. Among them, Ca@MnCO microspheres as an excellent Mn and Ca reservoir, can continuously release adjuvants Mn and Ca to enhance immune response in dendritic cells, while LLO can contribute to induce lysosomal escape. Particularly, Ca was added firstly to MnCO microspheres to improve the stability and load capacity of the microspheres. Along with the degradation of intracellular Ca@MnCO microspheres, and the lysosomal membrane-lytic effects of perforin LLO, the Mn, Ca and OVA were released to the cytoplasm. These outcomes cooperatively promote antigen cross-presentation, elicit CD8 T cell proliferation, and finally achieve prominent anti-tumor effects. The results indicate that the manganese-containing vaccine delivery system Ca@MnCO/LLO provides a promising platform for the construction of tumor vaccines.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has transformed the treatment landscape for hematological cancers. However, achieving comparable success in solid tumors remains challenging. Factors contributing to these limitations include the scarcity of tumor-specific antigens (TSAs), insufficient CAR-T cell infiltration, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).

As an advanced nucleic acid therapeutical modality, mRNA can express any type of protein in principle and thus holds great potential to prevent and treat various diseases. Despite the success in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, direct local delivery of mRNA into the lung by inhalation would greatly reinforce the treatment of pulmonary pathogens and diseases. Herein, we developed lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) from degradable ionizable glycerolipids for potent pulmonary mRNA delivery via nebulization.

Background: The advent of next generation sequencing technologies has enabled a surge in the number of whole genome sequences in public databases, and our understanding of the composition and evolution of bacterial genomes. Besides model organisms and pathogens, some attention has been dedicated to industrial bacteria, notably members of the Lactobacillaceae family that are commonly studied and formulated as probiotic bacteria. Of particular interest is Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, an extensively studied strain that has been widely commercialized for decades and is being used for the delivery of vaccines and therapeutics.

Delivery of therapies into skin is attractive for medical indications including vaccination and treatment of dermatoses but is highly constrained by the stratum corneum barrier. Microneedle (MN) patches have emerged as a promising technology to enable non-invasive, intuitive, and low-cost skin delivery. When combined with biodegradable polymer formulations, MN patches can further enable controlled-release drug delivery without injection.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly prevalent malignancy with limited treatment efficacy despite advances in immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. The inherently weak immune responses in HCC necessitate novel strategies to improve anti-tumor immunity and synergize with ICB therapy. Kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A) is a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) overexpressed in HCC, and it could be a promising target for vaccine development.
