Open DOI
Targeted immune modulation through smart biomaterials and programmable biopharmaceuticals: A review
Immune-mediated diseases remain a major global health challenge, while current immunotherapies are often limited by systemic toxicity, poor tissue selectivity, and insufficient control over immune responses. This review examines recent a...
