Effective vaccination is crucial for intervening in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the continuous mutation of the SARS-CoV-2, existing vaccines including subunit vaccines cannot effectively prevent virus infections. Hence, there is an urgent need to enhance the immunogenicity of existing vaccines to induce a more potent and durable immune response.

Background: The cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB2R) represent a target of increasing importance in neuroimaging due to its upregulation under various neuropathological conditions. Previous evaluation of [F]JHU94620 for the non-invasive assessment of the CB2R availability by positron emission tomography (PET) revealed favourable binding properties and brain uptake, however rapid metabolism, and generation of brain-penetrating radiometabolites have been its main limitations. To reduce the bias of CB2R quantification by blood-brain barrier (BBB)-penetrating radiometabolites, we aimed to improve the metabolic stability by developing -d and -d deuterated isotopologues of [F]JHU94620.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and extruded nanovesicles (ENVs) are promising nanovesicles (NVs) for drug delivery. However, the application of these NVs is strongly hindered by their short half-life in the circulation. Macrophages (Mφs) in the liver and spleen contribute to the rapid depletion of NVs, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Ischemic diseases are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality, posing a substantial threat to human health. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an essential role in enhancing neovascularization in ischemic tissues, thereby facilitating tissue repair and regeneration. However, the utilization of EVs is hindered by their rapid uptake and clearance by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), which markedly impedes their therapeutic efficacy and organ-specific accumulation.

Unlabelled: Metabolic state-reprogramming approach was extended from Gram-negative bacteria to Gram-positive bacterium methicillin-resistant (MRSA) for identifying desired reprogramming metabolites to synergize existing antibiotic killing to MRSA. Metabolomics comparison between MRSA and methicillin-sensitive showed a depressed metabolic state in MRSA. Valine was identified as the most depressed metabolite/biomarker, and valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis as the most enriched metabolic pathway.
