Using immunotherapy to boost the abscopal effect

TL;DR: Evidence for this growing consensus is that combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy provides an opportunity to boost abscopal response rates, extending the use of radiotherapy to treatment of both local and metastatic disease and emerging limitations are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polylactic acid (PLA) controlled delivery carriers for biomedical applications.

TL;DR: PLA's application as drug-loaded nanoparticle drug carriers, such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and micelles, can encapsulate otherwise toxic hydrophobic anti-tumor drugs and evade systemic toxicities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic Transcutaneous Immunotherapy Enhances Antitumor Immune Responses through Delivery of Checkpoint Inhibitors

TL;DR: This synergistic immunotherapy strategy locally targets the immunoinhibitory receptor programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) and immunosuppressive enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) for the treatment of melanoma through a microneedle-based transcutaneous delivery approach and achieves potent antitumor efficacy.

Rapidly separable microneedle patch for the sustained release of a contraceptive

TL;DR: A microneedle skin patch with rapidly separable, biodegradable polymer needles continuously releases the contraceptive levonorgestrel for over one month in rats, and was well tolerated, leaving little visible evidence of use in rats.

Engineering Microneedle Patches for Vaccination and Drug Delivery to Skin

TL;DR: More advanced clinical trials and commercial-scale manufacturing will facilitate development of MNPs to realize their potential to dramatically increase patient access to otherwise-injectable drugs and to improve drug performance via skin delivery.

Transdermal skin delivery: predictions for humans from in vivo, ex vivo and animal models.

TL;DR: Work from in vitro permeation studies to clinical performance is reviewed, presenting various experimental models used in dermal/transdermal research, including the use of excised human or animal skin, cultured skin equivalents and animals.

Long-Term Thermostabilization of Live Poxviral and Adenoviral Vaccine Vectors at Supraphysiological Temperatures in Carbohydrate Glass

TL;DR: The ability of these sugars to vitrify on desiccation to develop a thermostabilization technique for live viral vaccine vectors is exploited to create a vaccine that is effective after just one dose and that can be administered without a needle.
