Summary: Ovarian cancer is characterized by uncertain presentation and poor outcomes, with surgery and chemotherapy being the current basis of treatment. However, there are limitations due to advanced stage at diagnosis and high recurrence rate. The use of anti-VEGF agents, PARP inhibitors, and immunotherapies are being explored to enhance treatment outcomes, but the population that can benefit from these treatments remains limited.

Summary: The NIPU study is a phase II clinical trial aiming to compare the efficacy and safety of nivolumab and ipilimumab with or without telomerase vaccine in patients with inoperable malignant pleural mesothelioma after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The study seeks to improve treatment response by combining checkpoint inhibition with a telomerase vaccine and also to explore mechanisms for treatment response and resistance.

Summary: This review summarizes the use of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines as a new immunotherapy approach to enhance the body's identification and clearance of tumors by combining tumor antigens and DCs. The authors focus on discussing the biological characteristics of DCs, recent advances in understanding the antitumor mechanisms, and the classification of DC vaccines. The current progress of DC-based vaccine immunotherapy for common tumors with high morbidity or mortality in China is systematically summarized.

Summary: DC-based cancer vaccines can recruit neutrophils to lymph nodes and increase the number of NK cells, enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. Depletion of neutrophils results in decreased NK cell numbers, while CD8+ T cell population remains unaffected. Targeting neutrophils may offer innovative strategies to enhance the clinical efficacy of DC vaccines.

Summary: Telomerase-based therapeutic cancer vaccines have shown potential in clinical research and may enhance the efficacy of checkpoint inhibition. With its almost universal presence in cancer and essential role in tumor growth, telomerase is an attractive therapeutic target. Rational treatment combinations, such as checkpoint inhibitors, are likely necessary to fully unlock the clinical potential of telomerase-based cancer vaccines.

Summary: Advances in checkpoint blockade immunotherapies have led to an expansion in methods for promoting T cell access to the tumor microenvironment, with dendritic cells playing a crucial role in the immune response to tumor antigens. The role of CD40 as a master regulator of dendritic cell activation in cancer vaccines and other immune-oncology approaches is highlighted and evaluated.

Summary: A new strategy is proposed in this study to improve the delivery of cancer vaccines by dynamic size modulation, enhancing lymph node drainage and dendritic cell uptake. The results showed that this strategy induced a rapid and robust immune response in a mouse model, with a stronger humoral immune response observed when immunized with MHC-II restricted antigen.

Summary: Antigen presentation may be the limiting factor in the low immune response to radiation therapy, and combining immune checkpoint blockade does not restore cytotoxic T lymphocytes function. Therapeutic vaccines based on senescent tumor cells or SnC-activated dendritic cells have the potential to enhance immune therapies and limit recurrence or metastasis.

Summary: This study found that nanoceria particles have effects on human platelet function and blood coagulation, including reducing platelet aggregation and secretion of granule contents, as well as impairing fibrin polymerization and thrombus retraction. Furthermore, nanoceria may cause early clot formation in whole blood. These findings highlight the need for re-evaluation and careful planning of biomedical applications of nanoceria.

Summary: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have shown great potential in thermo-therapeutic modalities such as magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) and photo-thermal therapy (PTT). In this study, MnFe2O4 nano-flowers were synthesized and utilized as nano-heat generators for MFH and PTT. The material exhibited effective heating under alternating magnetic field (AMF) and impressive heating ability under near infra-red (NIR) irradiation. The results indicated that MnFe2O4 nano-flowers had higher intrinsic loss power compared to commercially available ferro-fluids and showed significant cell death during photo-thermal treatment.

Summary: In this study, mesoporous Fe3O4 MNPs were synthesized using the solvothermal process. The use of a specific solvent was found to stabilize the mesoporous structure. Structural features of the sample were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The material showed effective heating under an alternating magnetic field (AMF), with the concentration of aqueous ferro-fluid influencing the heating performance. The material also demonstrated impressive heating performance under near infra-red (NIR) irradiation, with a concentration as small as 0.1 mg/mL.
