1. Biomimetic nanoparticles for cancer vaccines and immunotherapy: mechanisms, tumor microenvironment reprogramming, and translational perspectives

Shahab Ms, Azizuddin S, Aslam M, Haque Mw, Ahsan Mn, Snigdha Nt, Et Al.

Biomimetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) have emerged as promising platforms for cancer vaccines and immunotherapy by combining nanoscale delivery systems with biological interfaces derived from cells or extracellular vesicles (EVs). Their therapeutic behavior is influenced by the biological source, surface composition…

2. Cell Membrane-Coated Nanoparticles for Cancer Immunotherapy

Yingping Zeng, Sufen Li, Shufen Zhang, Li Wang, Hong Yuan, Fuqiang Hu

Cancer immunotherapy is limited by tumour heterogeneity, immune cell disability, immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME), and systemic immune toxicity. Cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMCNs) offer a biomimetic delivery strategy that inherits source-cell functions—immune evasion, tumour targeting, and…

3. Ex Vivo-Generated Dendritic Cell-Based Vaccines in Melanoma: The Role of Nanoparticulate Delivery Systems

Mona Yazdani, Mahmoud Reza Jaafari, Javad Verdi, Behrang Alani, Mahdi Noureddini, Ali Badiee

Melanoma is a poorly immunogenic and highly aggressive skin cancer with limited long-term survival for advanced disease. Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines are promising immunotherapies, but their efficacy relies on critical factors including DC maturation state and efficient antigen delivery. Nanoparticulate…

4. Controlling Endosomal Escape Using Nanoparticle Composition: Current Progress and Future Perspectives

Not Fully Listed In The Supplied File; Corresponding Authors Indicated By Emails: [email protected] And [email protected] Doi/link: Not Included In The Supplied File

Endosomal escape remains a major roadblock for delivering biological therapeutics such as DNA, siRNA, and proteins. Polymeric nanoparticles can protect cargo and target cells, but they often remain trapped in endosomal/lysosomal compartments, where cargo is degraded. A better understanding of how nanoparticle…

5. PLGA microspheres for improved antigen delivery to dendritic cells as cellular vaccines

Ying Waeckerle-Men And Marcus Groettrup

Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines are limited by the short persistence of MHC class I/peptide complexes on the DC surface—often only a few hours—when soluble peptides are loaded exogenously. This short presentation limits CTL activation and vaccine efficacy. The authors investigated biodegradable PLGA microspheres…

6. Caveolae and Caveolin in Immune Cells: Distribution and Functions

James Harris, Dirk Werling, Jayne C. Hope, Geraldine Taylor, Chris J. Howard

Caveolae and caveolin are cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains involved in endocytosis, cholesterol regulation, and signal transduction, but their presence and function in immune cells have been contentious. This review addresses the need to clarify the distribution and roles of caveolae/caveolin in mammalian…
