Recent Advances in mRNA Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines

Open DOI
Amy D. Laflin, Jing Pan, Ming You et al.
Cancer immunotherapies are a promising method for treating cancers and directly enhance the antitumor capabilities of a patient's immune system. In particular, therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccines are an attractive strategy as they offer a s...

Smart Polymeric Biomaterials for Clinical Use

Open DOI
Natalie M. Petryk, Nghia L.B. Thai, Anita Shukla et al.
As biomaterials transition from static, inert objects into dynamic scaffolds that augment the healing process, the ability to design large-scale changes in architecture in response to environmental changes is increasingly valuable. To ad...
