Compared to cancer nanomedicine, cancer immune nanomedicine presents unique challenges stemming from the complexity of the tumour responses to immunotherapy. This Perspective describes some of the factors contributing to this complexity and offers thoughts on how nanomedicine researchers can include them in their experimental design.
Tolerogenic dendritic cells inhibit inflammatory responses against self-antigens, offering a therapeutic strategy for autoimmune diseases. This Review describes the nanotechnology-based approaches available to target dendritic cells and induce tolerogenic properties, highlighting applications in organ transplantation, multiple sclerosis and diabetes mellitus.
This Review summarizes how distinct approaches to nanostructural engineering enhance features that determine the selectivity and stability of catalysts.
Ultrafast spectroscopy measurements present a new direct non-equilibrium energy transfer mechanism across a metal–semiconductor interface, without charge transfer, opening up a new avenue for plasmonic energy conversion.
This Review provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of nanoscale vaccines against infectious diseases, focusing in particular on the immunological responses they can elicit, depending on their physicochemical properties and functionalization, and on the challenges their production face.
The intercalation of an antennae array with a geometric Pancharatnam–Berry phase into a defective two-dimensional photonic crystal slab enables a spin-dependent splitting of directional emission in momentum space, that is, a Rashba effect for photons.
In situ NMR and magnetic resonance imaging unravel new chemistries for the formation and growth of metal microstructures, with consequences on the solid–electrolyte interphase stability.
Overcoming the challenges of plastic detection in plants has made it possible to transfer many of the lessons learned from plant–metal nanoparticle interactions to plastic nanoparticles.
This Review proposes a framework for designing delivery systems to target diseased tissues based on the biology of the target, the journey and computational algorithms.
Several globally significant infectious diseases are not yet treatable with vaccination; nanomaterials are being investigated to provide new strategies for vaccine development.
The operationalization and improvement of environmental exposure assessment models for engineered nanomaterials can build on ten emerging principles relating to their release pathways, waste handling, transformations, influence of the properties on reactions and role that organisms can play in their fate and transport.
Co-drawing of metallic glass with polymers of similar viscosity–temperature behaviour enables highly uniform nanoscale cross-sectional features of various shapes in functional fibres without length limit.
This Review provides an overview of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and examines the immune-mediated approaches currently being explored for COVID-19 treatments, with an emphasis on nanotechnological tools.
Tuning the twist angle in bilayer transitional metal dichalcogenides yields ordered structural phases with mesoscopically modulated electronic properties revealed by the combination of electron and scanning probe microscopies.
