Nanoengineering of Phosphate/Phosphonate Drugs via Competitive Replacement with Metal‐Phenolic Networks to Overcome Breast Tumor with Lung and Bone Metastasis by Wanrui Shi, Dashuai Liu, Wenjie Feng, Yang Chen, Yonggang Wang, Zhihong Nie, Yi Liu, Hao Zhang

“…The results demonstrate that, by triggering pyroptosis and activating the cGAS‐STING pathway, the nanodrugs exhibit potent cytotoxicity and accurate selectivity in eradicating orthotopic breast tumors, and activate an antitumor immune response against lung and bone metastases. Because the competitive coordination strategy is applicable to a variety of phosphate/phosphonate agents, it holds significant potential for enhancing the clinical efficacy of phosphate/phosphonate drugs and advancing nanodrug development for complex therapeutic applications.…”

Genome-Wide Expression Difference of MicroRNAs in Basal Cell Carcinoma by Hai-Peng Wei, Song Zhan, Qing-An Zhu, Zhen-Juan Chen, Xian Feng, Jun-Yuan Chen, Qi-Lin Zhang, Jingjie Zhao, Lingzhang Meng

“…Functional analysis of predicted target genes of DEMs in BCCs shows that these miRNAs are primarily involved in various types of cancers, immune response, epithelial growth, and morphogenesis, as well as energy production and metabolism, indicating that BCC development is caused, at least in part, by changes in miRNA regulation for biological and disease processes. …”

Candidate vaccine construction against tick-born encephalitis based on hybrid recombinant flagG-protE-protein by P. A. Belavin, D. A. Kunyk, E. V. Protopopova, V. B. Loktev, E. V. Deineko

“…This should ensure the formation of neutralizing antibodies, and the presence of a complete amino acid sequence of protein E in the recombinant protein induces the formation of a T­cell immune response. The emergence of a new generation of vaccines against tick­borne encephalitis with a higher level of safety and immunogenicity will improve the vaccine prevention of the population from tick­borne encephalitis.…”

Cytokine Profile in Early Infection by Leptospira interrogans in A/J Mice by Lorena Bavia, Íris A. de Castro, Mariane Tami Amano, Ana Maria Gonçalves da Silva, Silvio Arruda Vasconcellos, Lourdes Isaac

“…Since rodents are at the same time the main reservoir and generally asymptomatic to Leptospira infection, understanding why some animal species are resistant and others are susceptible to this infection would shed some light in how to control this important zoonosis. The innate immune response against Leptospira is mainly dependent on phagocytosis and activation of the Complement System. …”
