TLR7/8-agonist-loaded nanoparticles promote the polarization of tumour-associated macrophages to enhance cancer immunotherapy.
Christopher B. Rodell,Sean P. Arlauckas,Michael F. Cuccarese,Christopher Garris,Ran Li,Maaz S. Ahmed,Rainer H. Kohler,Mikael J. Pittet,Ralph Weissleder +8 more
TL;DR: The ability of rationally engineered drug–nanoparticle combinations to efficiently modulate tumour-associated macrophages for cancer immunotherapy is demonstrated and R848, an agonist of the toll-like receptors TLR7 and TLR8 identified in a morphometric-based screen, is a potent driver of the M1 phenotype in vitro.

A versatile vector for gene and oligonucleotide transfer into cells in culture and in vivo: polyethylenimine
Otmane Boussif,Frank Lezoualc'h,Maria Antonietta Zanta,Mojgan Mergny,Daniel Scherman,Barbara A. Demeneix,Jean-Paul Behr +6 more
TL;DR: Together, these properties make PEI a promising vector for gene therapy and an outstanding core for the design of more sophisticated devices because its efficiency relies on extensive lysosome buffering that protects DNA from nuclease degradation, and consequent lysOSomal swelling and rupture that provide an escape mechanism for the PEI/DNA particles.
Book
Principles of polymerization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the properties of polymers and their applications in the literature, including the following: 1.1 Types of Polymers and Polymerization. 2.3 Linear, Branched, and Crosslinked Polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for drug delivery
TL;DR: Recent advances in the design of nanoscale stimuli-responsive systems that are able to control drug biodistribution in response to specific stimuli, either exogenous (variations in temperature, magnetic field, ultrasound intensity, light or electric pulses) or endogenous (changes in pH, enzyme concentration or redox gradients).
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion of Univalent Ions Across the Lamellae of Swollen Phospholipids
TL;DR: It is found that as the surface charge of the lipid lamellae is increased, the amount of cation per μmle of lipid increases, and the phospholipid liquid crystalline structures appear to “bind” or “capture” cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox environment of the cell as viewed through the redox state of the glutathione disulfide/glutathione couple.
TL;DR: Estimates can be used to more fully understand the redox biochemistry that results from oxidative stress, which hopefully will provide a rationale and understanding of the cellular mechanisms associated with cell growth and development, signaling, and reductive or oxidative stress.
