Background And Aims: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized systemic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. Nevertheless, numerous patients are refractory to ICIs therapy. It is currently unknown whether diet therapies such as short-term starvation (STS) combined with ICIs can be used to treat HCC.

Cancer immunotherapies rely on CD8 cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in recognition and eradication of tumor cells via antigens presented on major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules. However, we observe MHC-I deficiency in human and murine urologic tumors, posing daunting challenges for successful immunotherapy. We herein report an unprecedented nanosonosensitizer of one-dimensional bamboo-like multisegmented manganese dioxide@manganese-bismuth vanadate (BMMBV) to boost multiple branches of immune responses targeting MHC-I-deficient tumors.

Adjuvants are crucial for maintaining specific, protective, and long-lasting immunity. Here, we aimed to evaluate the antigenic and immunogenic activity of a recombinant form of the S1 domain of the Spike protein, associated with biogenic silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNP) and Alhydrogel as an alternative and conventional adjuvant, respectively, for a SARS-CoV-2 subunit vaccine. We produced and evaluated the antigenicity of the recombinant S1 (rS1) protein by testing its recognition by antibodies present in SARS-CoV-2 positive human serum.

Adjuvants are non-specific immune enhancers commonly used to improve the responsiveness and persistence of the immune system toward antigens. However, due to the undefined chemical structure, toxicity, non-biodegradability, and lack of design technology in many existing adjuvants, it remains difficult to achieve substantive breakthroughs in the adjuvant research field. Here, a novel adjuvant development strategy based on stapling peptides is reported to overcome this challenge.

Background: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) poses a significant challenge in clinical environments due to its resistance to standard antibiotics. Protein A (SpA), a crucial virulence factor of MRSA, undermines host immune responses, making it an attractive target for vaccine development. This study aimed to identify potential epitopes within SpA that could elicit robust immune responses, ultimately contributing to the combat against multidrug-resistant (MDR) MRSA.
