Background: Inorganic polyphosphates (polyPs) are linear chains of phosphates that accelerate blood clotting. Targeting polyP has been shown to reduce thrombosis.
Objectives: To identify and characterize anti-polyP monoclonal antibodies that could be used as analytical tools and as antithrombotic agents.

Background: In allogeneic-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), donor T cells combat leukemia through the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect, while they also pose a risk of triggering life-threatening graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by interacting with recipient cells. The onset of GVHD hinges on the interplay between donor T cells and recipient antigen-presenting cells (APCs), sparking T-cell activation. However, effective methods to balance GVHD and GVL are lacking.

Chronic wounds represent a significant global health concern, statistically impacting 1-2% of the population in developed countries throughout their lifetimes. These wounds cause considerable discomfort for patients and necessitate substantial expenditures of time and resources for treatment. Among the emerging therapeutic approaches, medicated dressings incorporating bioactive molecules, including natural compounds, are particularly promising.

The current treatments for wounds often fail to induce adequate healing, leaving wounds vulnerable to persistent infections and development of drug-resistant microbial biofilms. New natural-derived nanoparticles were studied to impair bacteria colonization and hinder the formation of biofilms in wounds. The nanoparticles were fabricated through polyelectrolyte complexation of chitosan (CS, polycation) and hyaluronic acid (HA, polyanion).
