Aptamer-conjugated gold nanoparticles enable oligonucleotide delivery into muscle stem cells to promote regeneration of dystrophic muscles by Francesco Millozzi, Paula Milán-Rois, Arghya Sett, Giovanni Delli Carpini, Marco De Bardi, Miguel Gisbert-Garzarán, Martina Sandonà, Ciro Rodríguez-Díaz, Mario Martínez-Mingo, Irene Pardo, Federica Esposito, Maria Teresa Viscomi, Marina Bouché, Ornella Parolini, Valentina Saccone, Jean-Jacques Toulmé, Álvaro Somoza, Daniela Palacios

“…Abstract Inefficient targeting of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), also called satellite cells, represents a major bottleneck of current therapeutic strategies for muscular dystrophies, as it precludes the possibility of promoting compensatory regeneration. Here we describe a muscle-targeting delivery platform, based on gold nanoparticles, that enables the release of therapeutic oligonucleotides into MuSCs. …”

Listeria monocytogenes use multiple mechanisms to disseminate from the intestinal lamina propria to the mesenteric lymph nodes by Joshua S. Nowacki, Grant S. Jones, Sarah E. F. D'Orazio

“…Previous studies indicated that L. monocytogenes associated with both monocytes and dendritic cells in the intestinal lamina propria. We show here that CCR2−/− mice had a significant reduction in Ly6Chi monocytes in the MLN but no change in bacterial burden following foodborne infection; thus, dissemination of L. monocytogenes associated with monocytes is not required for colonization of the MLN. …”
