Translational nanoparticle engineering for cancer vaccines
Conventional cancer treatments remain insufficient to treat many therapy-resistant tumors.1 Cancer vaccines attempt to overcome this resistance by activating the patient's immune system to eliminate tumor cells without the toxicity of systemic chemotherapy and radiation. Nanoparticles (NPs) are promising as customizable, immunostimulatory carriers to protect and deliver antigen. Although many N...
متن کاملEngineering synthetic vaccines using cues from natural immunity.
Vaccines aim to protect against or treat diseases through manipulation of the immune response, promoting either immunity or tolerance. In the former case, vaccines generate antibodies and T cells poised to protect against future pathogen encounter or attack diseased cells such as tumours; in the latter case, which is far less developed, vaccines block pathogenic autoreactive T cells and autoant...
متن کاملThe delicate balance in genetically engineering live vaccines.
Contemporary vaccine development relies less on empirical methods of vaccine construction, and now employs a powerful array of precise engineering strategies to construct immunogenic live vaccines. In this review, we will survey various engineering techniques used to create attenuated vaccines, with an emphasis on recent advances and insights. We will further explore the adaptation of attenuate...
متن کاملNanopatches: engineering devices for targeted delivery to skin, improving vaccines
SUMMARY We introduce the Nanopatch – a practical needle-free device that targets a narrow layer just below the skin surface rich in antigen presenting cells for improved vaccination over the needle and syringe (which instead primarily targets the muscle). Case studies of vaccination are presented, including Nanopatch delivery of influenza vaccines inducing immune responses comparable to needle ...
متن کاملCancer Immunology at the Crossroads: Engineering Engineering New Approaches to Cancer Vaccines
Recently, a number of promising approaches have been developed using synthetic chemistry, materials science, and bioengineering-based strategies to address challenges in the design of more effective cancer vaccines. At the stage of initial priming, potency can be improved by maximizing vaccine delivery to lymph nodes. Because lymphatic uptake from peripheral tissues is strongly size dependent, ...
