As autumn leaves turn golden, Boster Bio is excited to present a medley of pioneering studies that have recently been published. This month’s issue covers a spectrum from novel therapeutic interventions to insightful multi-omics analyses.
In the therapeutic domain, we spotlight a novel implantable hydrogel-based sensor that allows for real-time drug monitoring in rats. We also observe a shift in cancer treatments with a new cocktail nanovaccine. Additionally, fresh approaches are introduced for targeting lung fibrosis using mitochondrial transfer and enhancing liver cancer treatments with artesunate.
On a molecular scale, studies revealed how indoor air pollutants impact liver health and blood lipid levels. Scientists also investigated the protective role of gut fungi against intestinal issues and the potential of mung bean sprout nanoparticles in diabetes management. Moreover, recent findings linked a compound in the colon, phosphocholine, with a specific fungus Candida tropicalis, highlighting mycobiota’s importance for our digestive health.

Background: Advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer with poor prognosis. Adoptive cell therapy using engineered T-cell receptors (TCRs) targeting cancer-testis antigens, such as Melanoma-associated antigen 3 (MAGE-A3), is a potential approach for the treatment of NSCLC. However, systematic...

As a widespread indoor air pollutant, volatile organic compound (VOC) caused various adverse health effects, especial the damage to liver, which has become a growing public concern. However, the current toxic data are intrinsically restricted in the single or major VOC species. Limited knowledge is available regarding toxic effects...
Representing 5-20% of the circulating group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the innate immune system. They were named ‘natural killer’ due to their ability to recognize and kill physiologically stressed cells (tumor cells or virus-infected cells) without the presence/activation of typical markers for immune system activation, such as antibodies or major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on cell surfaces (Abel et al., 2018; Guia et al., 2018; Pol...
This month, we're excited to spotlight a selection of cutting-edge research studies that have benefited from Boster Bio's high-quality products.
Several studies this month deepen our understanding of disease mechanisms, including the role of pancreatic acinar cells in chronic pancreatitis fibrosis and the intriguing connections between the PCCB gene, associated with schizophrenia, and GABAergic pathways.
On the therapeutic front, different innovative methods have emerged, from an injectable hydrogel for osteoarthritis therapy to the promising rapid antidepressant-like effects of the connexin hemichannel inhibitor D4. Immunotherapy has also taken a front seat, with new research on IL2Rbg targeting combined with radiotherapy in HNSCC, and the screening of potential vaccines against Mycoplasma synoviae.
