Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease characterized by airway obstruction and inflammation. Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) lung infections are common in COPD, promoting frequent exacerbations and accelerated lung function decline. The relationship with immune responses and NTHi are poorly understood.

Chronic allograft rejection is mainly mediated by indirect recognition. Dendritic cells (DCs), as the major antigen-presenting cells in indirect recognition, exhibit an enhanced antigen-presenting ability in chronic rejection, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Here, we found that pretreatment with high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) in vivo can induce trained immunity in DCs.

This study introduces the development of a highly sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor specifically designed to detect prostate-specific antigen (PSA). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with Au nanoparticles/polyhedral hollow CoCu bimetallic sulfide (CuCoS) was employed as a sensing interface for the fixation of the monoclonal anti-PSA antibody. The nanoarchitectures enhanced the capacity for loading prostate-specific antibodies (Ab) and effectually boosted electrical conductivity leading to enhance the electrochemical signal and greater sensitivity for the detection of PSA.

Monitoring cancer biomarkers is of great significance in clinical diagnosis. In this work, a label-free MWCNTs-COOH/CuNi-BTC/FTO electrochemical immunosensor was developed to quantitatively detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The bimetallic CuNi-BTC showed enhanced current than singe Ni-BTC, and the addition of the MWCNTs-COOH increased the conductivity and further amplified the current signal.

Gastric cancer remains a significant global health burden, characterized by regional variations in incidence and poor survival prospects in advanced stages. Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the body's anti-cancer defense, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-NK cell therapy is gaining attention as a cutting-edge and promising treatment method. This study aims to tackle the challenge of TGF-β-mediated tumor immune evasion within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by designing a novel chimeric cytokine receptor TRII/21R, which consists of extracellular domains of TGF-β receptor II (TRII) and transmembrane and intracellular domains of IL-21 receptor (21R) and can convert the immunosuppressive signal from TGF-β in the tumor microenvironment (TME) into an NK cell activation signal through the IL-21R-STAT3 pathway.
