Surface modified polymers for controlled macroscopic functions by Chng, S

“…A library of polymers with variation in end group, and with expansion of substrate scope, was characterised in detail for chemical and macroscopic properties. In particular, drug delivery properties were investigated using hole-plate bioassays and HPLC-MS methods, and it was found that the antibiotic, Penicillin V, was still active after being loaded onto the polymer scaffolds, with surface modified polymers binding and releasing more drug than the corresponding controls. …”

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. …”

Thermal-disrupting interface mitigates intercellular cohesion loss for accurate topical antibacterial therapy by Hu, Benhui, Berkey, Christopher, Feliciano, Timothy, Chen, Xiaohong, Li, Zhuyun, Chen, Chao, Amini, Shahrouz, Nai, Mui Hoon, Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran, Wang, Juan, Leow, Wan Ru, Pan, Shaowu, Li, Yong-Qiang, Cai, Pingqiang, Miserez, Ali, Li, Shuzhou, Lim, Chwee Teck, Wu, Yun-Long, Odom, Teri W., Dauskardt, Reinhold H., Chen, Xiaodong

“…Bacterial infections remain a leading threat to global health because of the misuse of antibiotics and the rise in drug-resistant pathogens. Although several strategies such as photothermal therapy and magneto-thermal therapy can suppress bacterial infections, excessive heat often damages host cells and lengthens the healing time. …”

Clinical sub-phenotypes of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia by Swets, MC, Bakk, Z, Westgeest, AC, Berry, K, Cooper, G, Sim, W, Lee, RS, Gan, TY, Donlon, W, Besu, A, Heppenstall, E, Tysall, L, Dewar, S, de Boer, M, Fowler, VG, Dockrell, DH, Thwaites, GE, Pujol, M, Pallarès, N, Tebé, C, Carratalà, J, Szubert, A, Groeneveld, GH, Russell, CD

“…</p> <br> <p><Strong>Results:</strong> Included patients had predominantly methicillin-susceptible SAB (1366/1430,95.5%). We identified five distinct, reproducible clinical sub-phenotypes: (A) SAB associated with older age and comorbidity, (B) nosocomial intravenous catheter-associated SAB in younger people without comorbidity, (C) community-acquired metastatic SAB, (D) SAB associated with chronic kidney disease, and (E) SAB associated with injection drug use. …”

Integrated Assessment of Diclofenac Biotransformation, Pharmacokinetics, and Omics-Based Toxicity in a Three-Dimensional Human Liver-Immunocompetent Coculture System by Large, Emma, Hughes, David J., Sarkar, Ujjal, Ravindra, Kodihalli C., Young, Carissa L., Rivera-Burgos, Dinelia, Yu, Jiajie, Cirit, Murat, Wishnok, John S, Lauffenburger, Douglas A, Griffith, Linda G, Tannenbaum, Steven R

“…Kupffer cell–mediated cytokine release recapitulated an in vivo proinflammatory response exemplified by a cohort of 11 cytokines that were differentially regulated after lipopolysaccharide induction, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, macrophage inflammatory protein-1β, and IL-5. In summary, our findings indicate that three-dimensional liver microphysiological systems may serve as preclinical investigational platforms from the perspective of the discovery of a set of clinically relevant biomarkers including potential reactive metabolites, endogenous bile acids, excreted proteins, and cytokines to predict early drug-induced liver toxicity in humans.…”
