Switchable immune modulator for tumor-specific activation of anticancer immunity

Li Tang, Yugang Guo, Min Gao, Yu Zhao

Immune stimulatory antibodies and cytokines elicit potent antitumor immunity. However, the dose-limiting systemic toxicity greatly hinders their clinical applications. Here, we demonstrate a chemical approach, termed "switchable" immune modulator (Sw-IM), ...

Scalable Superior Chemical Sensing Performance of Stretchable Ionotronic Skin via a pi-Hole Receptor Effect

Min Gao

Skin-attachable gas sensors provide a next-generation wearable platform for real-time protection of human health by monitoring environmental and physiological chemicals. However, the creation of skin-like wearable gas sensors, possessing high sensitivity, ...

Cancer-cell stiffening via cholesterol depletion enhances adoptive T-cell immunotherapy

Georg Fantner, Li Tang, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Yugang Guo, Murat Kaynak, Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle, Armand Kurum, Kewen Lei, Lucia Bonati, Yuqing Xie, Min Gao, Veronika Cencen

Cancer cells enriched in cholesterol in their plasma membrane impair T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, which can be augmented by stiffening the cancer cells via cholesterol depletion, as shown in mouse models of adoptive T-cell immunotherapy. Malignant transfo ...

Aerosol-into-liquid capture and detection of atmospheric soluble metals across the gas–liquid interface using Janus-membrane electrodes

Jian Wang, Christian Ludwig, Tianyu Cen, Min Gao

The soluble fraction of atmospheric transition metals is particularly associated with health effects such as reactive oxygen species compared to total metals. However, direct measurements of the soluble fraction are restricted to sampling and detection uni ...

Metabolic reprogramming of terminally exhausted CD8(+) T cells by IL-10 enhances anti-tumor immunity

Li Tang, Yugang Guo, Bing Feng, Yang Zhao, Min Gao

Tang and colleagues show that a half-life-extended IL-10-Fc fusion protein acts directly on terminally exhausted PD1(+)TIM-3(+)CD8(+) T cells to enhance their proliferation and effector function by reprogramming the cellular metabolism to oxidative phospho ...

Disturbed mitochondrial dynamics in CD8(+)TILs reinforce T cell exhaustion

Li Tang, George Coukos, Nicola Vannini, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Min Gao

Ho and colleagues report that mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired mitophagy triggered by the tumor microenvironment lead to subsequent epigenetic changes and cause permanent T cell exhaustion and dysfunction. The metabolic challenges present in tumors a ...

Synthetic 3D scaffolds for cancer immunotherapy

Li Tang, Armand Kurum, Min Gao

Recent clinical success of systemic cancer immunotherapy has paved the way for the next-generation therapeutics. Nevertheless, cancer immunotherapies, in particular combination therapies, are associated in some cases with severe side effects and low respon ...

A Manganese Phosphate Nanocluster Activates the cGAS‐STING Pathway for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy

Li Tang, Yugang Guo, Armand Kurum, Kewen Lei, Yuqing Xie, Min Gao, Yu Zhao, Xiaomeng Hu

Targeting the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway with cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs), the natural STING agonists, is a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer. However, the clinical application of natural CDNs as therapeutics is greatly hi ...

Hydraulically amplified dielectric actuator taxels

Herbert Shea, Min Gao, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy, Min Gao

A dielectric actuator including an enclosure forming a cavity having a dielectric fluid therein, the enclosure having a base, a flexible membrane and a reversibly-stretchable membrane, and a pair of electrodes, one electrode of the pair of electrodes arran ...
