Layer-by-Layer Nanoparticles for Cytokine Delivery by Pires, Ivan S.

“…When evaluated for its effectiveness in this highly aggressive model, two doses could significantly enhance survival compared to even five times (5x) the amount of free cytokine. Remarkably, while the model was non-responsive to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4, when combined with LbL-IL-12-NPs, we achieved complete responses with robust immune memory induction. …”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…For specific values of the probing frequencies and control fields, the phaseonium can display either metallic or dielectric optical response. We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”
