New nanobody-liposome combo stops lung cancer growth and delivers targeted chemotherapy

Researchers engineered a nanobody-conjugated liposome (A5-LNP-DOX) that targets CD155 and delivers doxorubicin directly to lung adenocarcinoma cells, dramatically suppressing tumor growth in preclinical models. This approach not only inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion but also showed strong potential for safer, more precise lung cancer therapy.

Nasal antibody spray shields mice from pollen-triggered allergies and asthma

Intranasal delivery of a monoclonal IgG1 antibody targeting mugwort pollen protected mice from allergic rhinitis and asthma symptoms, without lowering systemic IgE levels. This localized, non-invasive approach dampened Th2 inflammation and preserved healthy airway tissue in sensitized mice.

Scientists identify key role of T-bet in flu memory B cells

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody against the virus. Antigen in, antibody out.
