Engineered a dual-targeting biomimetic nanomedicine for pancreatic cancer chemoimmunotherapy by Meng Wang, Qida Hu, Junmin Huang, Xinyu Zhao, Shiyi Shao, Fu Zhang, Zhuo Yao, Yuan Ping, Tingbo Liang

“…Improvement of chemotherapeutic efficacy by targeting tumor-associated macrophage and reprograming tumor microenvironment to enhance their efficacy may become a promising strategy. To this end, we developed a biomimetic dual-targeting nanomedicine (PG@KMCM) where gemcitabine-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles are coated with a layer of bioengineered cancer cell membrane that stably expresses peptides targeting M2-like macrophages (M2pep) while reserving tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). …”

Greening up the City with Native Species: Challenges and Solutions by Amy Hardberger, Danielle Craig, Catherine Simpson, Robert D. Cox, Gad Perry

“…However, much of that outlay supports non-native plants that may be less adapted to local conditions such as rainfall patterns and temperature ranges, thus having greater resource requirements, as well as being less supportive of native wildlife and possessing a greater potential of becoming invasive. Here, we explore ways to increase the use of native plant species in urban settings to reduce the need for watering or chemical application, enhance the support of native species, and reduce the risk of invasion to urban and ex-urban habitats. …”
