A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42379196\nTitle: Safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines: a mechanistic and public health perspective.\nAbstract: mRNA vaccines represent a transformative advance in vaccinology, combining rapid development timelines, scalable manufacturing, and strong immunogenicity with a favourable safety profile. Global deployment of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic provided an unprecedented real-world evaluation of this platform, with billions of doses administered across diverse populations. In this Review, we critically examine the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines from mechanistic, preclinical, clinical, and public health perspectives. We outline the biological basis of mRNA vaccines, including their transient cytoplasmic expression, lack of genomic integration, and rapid clearance, distinguishing them clearly from other gene therapies. We synthesise evidence on vaccine components, manufacturing quality controls, and regulatory standards that underpin safety, alongside data from randomised trials, post-authorisation surveillance, and active pharmacovigilance systems. We also review real-world effectiveness across age groups, pregnancy, and populations that are immunocompromised, along with the effects on transmission. Last, we address public perception and vaccine confidence, and discuss implications for next-generation mRNA vaccines, including strategies to reduce reactogenicity, improve breadth and durability of immunity, enhance global access, and support sustainable public trust. Together, the accumulated evidence affirms mRNA vaccines as a safe, effective, and adaptable platform with enduring relevance for future infectious disease prevention and public health preparedness, and for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease."

This review summarizes recent progress in COVID-19 mRNA vaccine technology, clinical performance, immunological mechanisms, and translational applications. First-generation nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines formulated in lipid nanoparticles demonstrated strong protection against symptomatic disease and, more durably, against severe outcomes, while variant-driven immune escape, waning protection against infection, limited mucosal immunity, and heterogeneous responses in special populations revealed important constraints. The review compares mRNA vaccines with other COVID-19 vaccine platforms and clarifies endpoint-specific correlates of protection, emphasizing the distinct roles of neutralizing antibodies, memory B cells, T-cell responses, and non-neutralizing antibody functions. It further examines unresolved issues associated with repeated vaccination, including immune imprinting and IgG4 class switching, and evaluates technological strategies designed to improve durability, breadth, delivery, and immune programming. Key innovations include optimized RNA chemistry, structure-guided antigen design, advanced lipid nanoparticle formulations, alternative delivery systems, immune-shaping adjuvant approaches, and next-generation RNA formats such as self-amplifying RNA and circular RNA. Finally, the review discusses vaccination strategies for immunocompromised individuals, pregnant and lactating women, older adults, and children, as well as the expansion of mRNA technology into respiratory virus vaccines, cancer immunotherapy, and therapeutic protein expression. These developments define mRNA technology as a modular platform whose clinical impact depends on aligning RNA architecture, delivery system, antigen design, and target population."

To address this challenge, we engineered and comprehensively tested three optimized mRNA vaccine candidates, evaluating the kinetics, quality, and magnitude of antibody responses as well as antigen-specific T cell immunity during a prime-boost vaccination regimen in mice. Among the tested candidates, TP2A encoding secreted receptor-binding domains (RBDs) derived from SARS-CoV-2 wild type (WT), Delta and Omicron variants demonstrated superior immunogenicity, inducing an early IgG2a-dominated antibody response against distinct SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein variants. In addition, TP2A elicited IFN-\u03b3-producing T cells in both spleen and draining lymph nodes and antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Notably, beyond broad immunity induced by the vaccine, TP2A functions as a modular platform, thus enabling flexible antigen assembly and rapid vaccine adaptation to newly emerging variants or even other viral pathogens.

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

While defaulting to pre-booked slots may increase uptake, potential rebound effects remain unclear. We examine preferences between appointment types, their effect on vaccination intentions, and whether effects are different for individuals hesitant about this vaccination round. A mixed-methods approach was used to assess vaccination intentions for three groups (<60 with influenza vaccination indication, 60-69 and 70+ years) eligible for pre-booked appointments. In a two-phase formative evaluation study, we examined attitudes around pre-booked appointments in 15 interviews (phase 1) and experimentally tested (phase 2) perceived burden of pre-booked appointments vs self-scheduled appointments and their effect on vaccination intentions in a representative online panel (n\u00a0=\u00a01.886) and those who experience hesitancy about this vaccination. Interviews (phase 1) showed that pre-booked appointments are seen as presumptuous or inconvenient by some, but also as a useful aid in support of vaccination uptake, sometimes by the same people. Participants in the experiment (phase 2) indicated to perceive self-scheduling as less burdensome (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.23) but this perception did not translate to differences in vaccination intentions (Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a01.11) Similar results were observed in the hesitant subgroup (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.25; Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a00.88).

Data on the magnitude and determinants of immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in this population remain limited. I-SPARC is a prospective, phase IV clinical trial evaluating humoral and cellular immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in 115 patients with cancer, including those receiving systemic therapy and those in remission. Anti-Spike antibody titers were measured longitudinally, and immunophenotyping was performed to assess T and B cell subsets. Clinical outcomes, including SARS-CoV-2 infection, were recorded. All patients developed detectable anti-Spike antibodies, although absolute titers varied by cancer type and treatment. Patients with hematologic malignancies and/or receiving chemotherapy had the lowest anti-Spike antibody levels. Booster doses significantly increased titers, particularly in patients in remission or receiving non-cytotoxic therapies. Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and the number of vaccine doses were associated with better responses. Immunophenotyping confirmed vaccine-induced expansion of memory T and B lymphocyte subpopulations. SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred in 16% of our cohort, with infrequent severe cases. mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with cancer, despite variability according to disease type and treatment. These findings support the use of booster strategies and provide a rationale for tailored vaccination approaches in immunocompromised populations."

Here, we evaluated the impact of N-terminal fusion length (45-180 bp) from four genes (lacZ, icd, zwf, bfp) on GFP reporter expression driven by 15 different promoter-RBS combinations in E. coli with normalized fluorescence, enzymatic activity assays and transcription analysis for a representative subset of constructs. Our results demonstrate that N-terminal fusion critically determines the reliability of regulatory-sequence characterization in target-gene-specific coding contexts, with strong gene- and length-dependent effects. Fusions as short as 45 bp failed to rescue context-sensitive cases. However, among the tested fusion lengths, fusions of 90 bp or longer achieved strong correlations (mean R2\u202f>\u202f0.75) between reporter fluorescence and target protein activity. Among the factors examined, N-terminal mRNA secondary structure showed a closer association with these fusion-length-dependent effects than transcription or translation initiation changes. This practical, context-preserving fusion strategy provides cost-effective guidance for scalable and accurate regulatory sequence profiling."

While \"naked\" RNA delivery could in principle solve these issues, studies have suggested that it is infeasible due to rapid degradation by RNases and poor cellular entry, thereby necessitating formulations that enhance intracellular delivery and RNA stability. Now, we challenge this paradigm by showing that a simple and inexpensive (<$1), lighter-derived electroporator with microneedle electrodes (Piezopen) can augment gene expression and immunogenicity to naked mRNA leading to comparable responses to LNPs at low doses.

A reactogenicity score was developed from PV data, based on reported symptoms and their intensity showing higher reactogenicity with viral vector vaccines. A parallel score was developed from non-clinical data (biomarkers and histopathological analysis). No correlation was evidenced between clinical outcomes and non-clinical parameters. For rare adverse events, the analysis identified clinical biomarkers such as troponin in the case of myocarditis. These rare events were not predicted by non-clinical studies as expected.

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in persistent or delayed-onset cutaneous vasculitis temporally associated with COVID-19 infection or vaccination. This retrospective case-control study includes 9 patients with persistent or delayed-onset vasculitic skin lesions following COVID-19 infection (n=4) or mRNA vaccination (n=5).

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

This study aimed to estimate the size of populations eligible for influenza vaccination according to the Mexican Universal Vaccination Program and to evaluate vaccination coverage gaps among populations at risk in Mexico between 2010 and 2021. A retrospective analytical study was conducted using epidemiological and administrative healthcare databases from Mexican public healthcare institutions. Population estimates were constructed using prevalence-based epidemiological projections, healthcare system records, and attended patient data from populations at risk. Descriptive analyses and time-series modeling were performed to evaluate vaccination coverage patterns and healthcare demand over time. Across all analyzed populations at risk, the number of individuals receiving healthcare services was consistently lower than the number of notified cases and substantially lower than prevalence-based epidemiological estimates. Vaccination coverage varied considerably across populations at risk and remained incomplete throughout the study period. In 2021, although approximately 12.5 million influenza vaccine doses were administered among populations at risk, a substantial proportion of potentially eligible individuals remained unvaccinated. Forecasting analyses suggested a progressive increase in healthcare demand among populations at risk over time. Important gaps persist between the estimated population at risk, diagnosed individuals, healthcare utilization, and influenza vaccination coverage in Mexico. The analytical framework proposed in this study integrates epidemiological prevalence estimates, healthcare utilization patterns, and vaccination data to identify unmet vaccination needs and may support improved public health planning, prioritization strategies, and strengthening of influenza vaccination programs in Mexico and similar settings."

The evidence suggests that probiotics may enhance immune responses when co-administered with influenza vaccination. However, few studies have evaluated the potential benefit of probiotic supplementation in this context in this high-risk population. This study was a randomized controlled trial recruiting adults between 65 and 89 y of age living in Quebec, Canada, who received an mRNA booster (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna). Probiotic supplementation (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Rosell\u00ae-11 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Rosell\u00ae-215, 1x 6 x 109CFU per capsule) versus placebo was administered from 15 d pre- to 15 d post-vaccination. Participants provided dried blood spot samples at baseline, at 3- and 6-month post-vaccination. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants without detectable anti-S1-receptor binding domain (anti-S1-RBD) antibodies at 6 months post-vaccination. Secondary outcomes included longitudinal anti-S1-RBD and anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) antibody responses across the three timepoints. 592 adults were enrolled. At 6 months post-vaccination, anti-S1-RBD antibodies were comparable between groups, and the percentage of participants with undetectable antibody response in the placebo and probiotic groups (1.2% vs 1.6%) was comparable. Anti-N seropositivity was lower in the probiotic group at 6 months (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4-0.9; p\u2009=\u20090.02) and marginally lower at 3 months after adjustment. Self-reported COVID-19 infection incidence was 16.5% overall (19.1% placebo vs 13.9% probiotic; p\u2009=\u20090.134). Probiotic supplementation administered around COVID-19 vaccination did not change the proportion of seronegative participants for anti-S1-RBD antibodies at 6 months. However, in the probiotic group, anti-N antibody levels were lower, while self-reported COVID-19 infections also tended to be reduced, although this difference was not statistically significant. They may be consistent with earlier control of infection and reduced exposure to the nucleocapsid antigen, but this interpretation remains speculative. #NCT05195151."

We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382."

Global deployment of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic provided an unprecedented real-world evaluation of this platform, with billions of doses administered across diverse populations. In this Review, we critically examine the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines from mechanistic, preclinical, clinical, and public health perspectives. We outline the biological basis of mRNA vaccines, including their transient cytoplasmic expression, lack of genomic integration, and rapid clearance, distinguishing them clearly from other gene therapies. We synthesise evidence on vaccine components, manufacturing quality controls, and regulatory standards that underpin safety, alongside data from randomised trials, post-authorisation surveillance, and active pharmacovigilance systems. We also review real-world effectiveness across age groups, pregnancy, and populations that are immunocompromised, along with the effects on transmission. Last, we address public perception and vaccine confidence, and discuss implications for next-generation mRNA vaccines, including strategies to reduce reactogenicity, improve breadth and durability of immunity, enhance global access, and support sustainable public trust. Together, the accumulated evidence affirms mRNA vaccines as a safe, effective, and adaptable platform with enduring relevance for future infectious disease prevention and public health preparedness, and for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease."

This review summarizes recent progress in COVID-19 mRNA vaccine technology, clinical performance, immunological mechanisms, and translational applications. First-generation nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines formulated in lipid nanoparticles demonstrated strong protection against symptomatic disease and, more durably, against severe outcomes, while variant-driven immune escape, waning protection against infection, limited mucosal immunity, and heterogeneous responses in special populations revealed important constraints. The review compares mRNA vaccines with other COVID-19 vaccine platforms and clarifies endpoint-specific correlates of protection, emphasizing the distinct roles of neutralizing antibodies, memory B cells, T-cell responses, and non-neutralizing antibody functions. It further examines unresolved issues associated with repeated vaccination, including immune imprinting and IgG4 class switching, and evaluates technological strategies designed to improve durability, breadth, delivery, and immune programming. Key innovations include optimized RNA chemistry, structure-guided antigen design, advanced lipid nanoparticle formulations, alternative delivery systems, immune-shaping adjuvant approaches, and next-generation RNA formats such as self-amplifying RNA and circular RNA. Finally, the review discusses vaccination strategies for immunocompromised individuals, pregnant and lactating women, older adults, and children, as well as the expansion of mRNA technology into respiratory virus vaccines, cancer immunotherapy, and therapeutic protein expression.

To address this challenge, we engineered and comprehensively tested three optimized mRNA vaccine candidates, evaluating the kinetics, quality, and magnitude of antibody responses as well as antigen-specific T cell immunity during a prime-boost vaccination regimen in mice. Among the tested candidates, TP2A encoding secreted receptor-binding domains (RBDs) derived from SARS-CoV-2 wild type (WT), Delta and Omicron variants demonstrated superior immunogenicity, inducing an early IgG2a-dominated antibody response against distinct SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein variants. In addition, TP2A elicited IFN-\u03b3-producing T cells in both spleen and draining lymph nodes and antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Notably, beyond broad immunity induced by the vaccine, TP2A functions as a modular platform, thus enabling flexible antigen assembly and rapid vaccine adaptation to newly emerging variants or even other viral pathogens. These findings position TP2A as a promising next-generation mRNA vaccine candidate."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

While defaulting to pre-booked slots may increase uptake, potential rebound effects remain unclear. We examine preferences between appointment types, their effect on vaccination intentions, and whether effects are different for individuals hesitant about this vaccination round. A mixed-methods approach was used to assess vaccination intentions for three groups (<60 with influenza vaccination indication, 60-69 and 70+ years) eligible for pre-booked appointments. In a two-phase formative evaluation study, we examined attitudes around pre-booked appointments in 15 interviews (phase 1) and experimentally tested (phase 2) perceived burden of pre-booked appointments vs self-scheduled appointments and their effect on vaccination intentions in a representative online panel (n\u00a0=\u00a01.886) and those who experience hesitancy about this vaccination. Interviews (phase 1) showed that pre-booked appointments are seen as presumptuous or inconvenient by some, but also as a useful aid in support of vaccination uptake, sometimes by the same people. Participants in the experiment (phase 2) indicated to perceive self-scheduling as less burdensome (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.23) but this perception did not translate to differences in vaccination intentions (Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a01.11) Similar results were observed in the hesitant subgroup (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.25; Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a00.88).

Data on the magnitude and determinants of immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in this population remain limited. I-SPARC is a prospective, phase IV clinical trial evaluating humoral and cellular immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in 115 patients with cancer, including those receiving systemic therapy and those in remission. Anti-Spike antibody titers were measured longitudinally, and immunophenotyping was performed to assess T and B cell subsets. Clinical outcomes, including SARS-CoV-2 infection, were recorded. All patients developed detectable anti-Spike antibodies, although absolute titers varied by cancer type and treatment. Patients with hematologic malignancies and/or receiving chemotherapy had the lowest anti-Spike antibody levels. Booster doses significantly increased titers, particularly in patients in remission or receiving non-cytotoxic therapies. Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and the number of vaccine doses were associated with better responses. Immunophenotyping confirmed vaccine-induced expansion of memory T and B lymphocyte subpopulations. SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred in 16% of our cohort, with infrequent severe cases. mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with cancer, despite variability according to disease type and treatment. These findings support the use of booster strategies and provide a rationale for tailored vaccination approaches in immunocompromised populations."

Here, we evaluated the impact of N-terminal fusion length (45-180 bp) from four genes (lacZ, icd, zwf, bfp) on GFP reporter expression driven by 15 different promoter-RBS combinations in E. coli with normalized fluorescence, enzymatic activity assays and transcription analysis for a representative subset of constructs. Our results demonstrate that N-terminal fusion critically determines the reliability of regulatory-sequence characterization in target-gene-specific coding contexts, with strong gene- and length-dependent effects. Fusions as short as 45 bp failed to rescue context-sensitive cases. However, among the tested fusion lengths, fusions of 90 bp or longer achieved strong correlations (mean R2\u202f>\u202f0.75) between reporter fluorescence and target protein activity. Among the factors examined, N-terminal mRNA secondary structure showed a closer association with these fusion-length-dependent effects than transcription or translation initiation changes.

A reactogenicity score was developed from PV data, based on reported symptoms and their intensity showing higher reactogenicity with viral vector vaccines. A parallel score was developed from non-clinical data (biomarkers and histopathological analysis). No correlation was evidenced between clinical outcomes and non-clinical parameters. For rare adverse events, the analysis identified clinical biomarkers such as troponin in the case of myocarditis. These rare events were not predicted by non-clinical studies as expected.

It draws upon multidimensional evaluation frameworks covering humoral, cellular, and mucosal immunity, incorporating analytical techniques such as hemagglutination inhibition assays, microneutralization assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, mucosal secretory IgA detection, enzyme-linked immunospot assays, and flow cytometry. Furthermore, clinical challenge trials evaluations play an essential role in elucidating the relationship between immunogenicity and protective efficacy.

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

This study aimed to estimate the size of populations eligible for influenza vaccination according to the Mexican Universal Vaccination Program and to evaluate vaccination coverage gaps among populations at risk in Mexico between 2010 and 2021. A retrospective analytical study was conducted using epidemiological and administrative healthcare databases from Mexican public healthcare institutions. Population estimates were constructed using prevalence-based epidemiological projections, healthcare system records, and attended patient data from populations at risk. Descriptive analyses and time-series modeling were performed to evaluate vaccination coverage patterns and healthcare demand over time. Across all analyzed populations at risk, the number of individuals receiving healthcare services was consistently lower than the number of notified cases and substantially lower than prevalence-based epidemiological estimates. Vaccination coverage varied considerably across populations at risk and remained incomplete throughout the study period. In 2021, although approximately 12.5 million influenza vaccine doses were administered among populations at risk, a substantial proportion of potentially eligible individuals remained unvaccinated. Forecasting analyses suggested a progressive increase in healthcare demand among populations at risk over time. Important gaps persist between the estimated population at risk, diagnosed individuals, healthcare utilization, and influenza vaccination coverage in Mexico. The analytical framework proposed in this study integrates epidemiological prevalence estimates, healthcare utilization patterns, and vaccination data to identify unmet vaccination needs and may support improved public health planning, prioritization strategies, and strengthening of influenza vaccination programs in Mexico and similar settings."

Participants provided dried blood spot samples at baseline, at 3- and 6-month post-vaccination. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants without detectable anti-S1-receptor binding domain (anti-S1-RBD) antibodies at 6 months post-vaccination. Secondary outcomes included longitudinal anti-S1-RBD and anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) antibody responses across the three timepoints. 592 adults were enrolled. At 6 months post-vaccination, anti-S1-RBD antibodies were comparable between groups, and the percentage of participants with undetectable antibody response in the placebo and probiotic groups (1.2% vs 1.6%) was comparable. Anti-N seropositivity was lower in the probiotic group at 6 months (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4-0.9; p\u2009=\u20090.02) and marginally lower at 3 months after adjustment. Self-reported COVID-19 infection incidence was 16.5% overall (19.1% placebo vs 13.9% probiotic; p\u2009=\u20090.134). Probiotic supplementation administered around COVID-19 vaccination did not change the proportion of seronegative participants for anti-S1-RBD antibodies at 6 months. However, in the probiotic group, anti-N antibody levels were lower, while self-reported COVID-19 infections also tended to be reduced, although this difference was not statistically significant. They may be consistent with earlier control of infection and reduced exposure to the nucleocapsid antigen, but this interpretation remains speculative. #NCT05195151."

While \"naked\" RNA delivery could in principle solve these issues, studies have suggested that it is infeasible due to rapid degradation by RNases and poor cellular entry, thereby necessitating formulations that enhance intracellular delivery and RNA stability. Now, we challenge this paradigm by showing that a simple and inexpensive (<$1), lighter-derived electroporator with microneedle electrodes (Piezopen) can augment gene expression and immunogenicity to naked mRNA leading to comparable responses to LNPs at low doses. We achieve robust responses in the absence of systemic inflammation and reactogenicity using skin-targeted delivery, administer diverse construct types (i.e., mRNA, self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), circular RNA (circRNA)), and demonstrate cross-species validation in live human skin to derisk subsequent clinical application. Our results introduce Piezopen as an inexpensive, well-tolerated, and efficacious alternative to LNPs for mRNA vaccine delivery, designed to facilitate routine vaccinations and pandemic response."

A prospective pilot MRI study using T1 relaxometry.\nAbstract: Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based vaccines delivered via lipid nanoparticles (LNP) were pivotal in managing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. While mild systemic reactions are common after vaccination, rare neurological complications have raised concerns about potential structural cerebral changes. This prospective pilot study tested the hypothesis that LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination does not induce significant microstructural cerebral changes in healthy adults. Dedicated 3 Tesla brain MRI was performed at three time points: up to one month before the first vaccination (t1), and 1-2 weeks (t2) and 2-3 months (t3) after the second dose of either BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273. Across 85 MRI scans from 29 initially SARS-CoV-2-seronegative adults, 2D T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, synthetic\u00a03D T1 magnetization prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echoes and 3D quantitative T1 mapping were analyzed. Changes in w matter hyperintensities (WMH) were evaluated visually (Prins scale) and semiquantitatively (Longitudinal Brain Imaging). Microstructural changes of deep and cortical gray matter and white matter were analyzed using qT1 values via paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. No new or progressive WMH nor significant intraindividual qT1 changes were observed. QT1% deviations were small (mean 0.1%, SD 0.9%; maximum 2.08%) and remained within established scan-rescan variability limits at 3 T. Apart from a 1\u00a0mm decrease of a preexisting WMH in one participant, no visually detectable structural brain alterations were observed. Our findings provide no evidence for WMH progression or microstructural cerebral changes after LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in healthy adults in the subacute phase."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

Among current vaccine technologies, mRNA vaccines offer unique advantages, including rapid development, flexible antigen design, and potent immunogenicity. However, efficient mucosal delivery of mRNA remains challenging due to biological barriers within the respiratory tract, including mucus clearance, limited cellular uptake, and instability during aerosolization. Furthermore, mRNA formulations intended for respiratory mucosal delivery require more stringent safety and tolerability profiles. Recent advances in nanoparticle engineering have accelerated the development of mRNA delivery systems optimized for respiratory mucosal immunization. This review aims to evaluate how nanoparticle engineering strategies can overcome respiratory mucosal barriers and improve the safety, stability, delivery efficiency, extrahepatic expression, and immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. We summarize recent progress in engineered mRNA nanoparticle platforms for respiratory mucosal immunity, encompassing modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), polymer-based mRNA nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticle systems, including lipid-inorganic, polymeric hybrid, and lipid-extracellular vesicle (EV) nanoparticles. We further discuss optimization strategies for mucosal mRNA delivery, including the incorporation of appropriate adjuvants, the development of polyethylene glycol (PEG) alternatives, and advanced delivery approaches. Finally, we highlight current challenges and future directions for the rational design of next-generation mRNA nanoparticle platforms that can induce durable and broadly protective mucosal immunity against respiratory viral infections."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42514945\nTitle: Optimization of Therapeutic modRNA Delivery to the Lung for Prevention of Pulmonary Fibrosis.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and fatal disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition and irreversible lung remodeling. Although modified mRNA (modRNA) therapeutics offer a promising strategy for regulating disease-driving pathways, effective pulmonary delivery remains challenging due to the inherent liver tropism of conventional lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). This study aimed to establish an optimized platform for lung-selective modRNA delivery and therapeutic screening for pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: A panel of charge-modified LNP formulations was evaluated in vivo for pulmonary tropism following systemic administration of luciferase (Luc) modRNA. Administration routes, biodistribution in healthy and bleomycin (BLM)-induced fibrotic lungs, and endogenous microRNA (miRNA)-mediated de-targeting strategies were assessed. Candidate antifibrotic modRNAs targeting the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2) signaling pathway were subsequently evaluated in normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLFs). Results: Among the formulations tested, 50% DOTAP MC3 LNPs demonstrated the most favorable balance of pulmonary transfection, physicochemical properties, and limited off-target expression. Intravenous (IV) administration achieved robust lung expression with a superior safety profile compared with intratracheal (IT) delivery. Importantly, pulmonary biodistribution was preserved in BLM-induced fibrotic lungs despite extensive tissue remodeling. Incorporation of miR-122 recognition sites further enhanced selectivity, resulting in 94.5% of total transgene expression being localized to the lungs while substantially reducing residual hepatic expression. In vitro screening identified dominant-negative TGF-\u03b2 receptor II (DNTGFBR2) modRNA as a potent inhibitor of TGF-\u03b2-induced fibrotic activation, significantly suppressing \u03b1-SMA and CTGF expression. Conclusions: These findings establish a comprehensive platform for pulmonary modRNA therapeutic development by integrating lung-selective LNP engineering, optimal systemic delivery, miRNA-mediated de-targeting, and therapeutic payload screening. This strategy provides a foundation for the development of targeted RNA therapies for pulmonary fibrosis and other organ-specific diseases."

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

Peptide vaccines provide simplicity and stability though often elicit limited cytotoxic T-cell responses. What is more, mRNA vaccines lead to rapid, multiplexed neoantigen delivery, endogenous antigen processing and eventually improved immunogenic coverage. Dendritic cell-based vaccines have the potency to prime potent T-cells although this technology requires labor-intensive manufacturing and extensive production timelines. Integration with immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, and oncolytic viruses further enhances efficacy, suggesting that rational combinations may be more effective than single modalities. Recent advances in sequencing, computational epitope prediction, and bioinformatics pipelines have facilitated neoantigen prioritization and DC vaccine design, enabling more rapid and precise personalization. Hybrid vaccination strategies, such as ex-vivo mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells and in-vivo DC-targeted platforms, bridge the gap between manufacturing feasibility and potent immune activation. Emerging technologies, including AI-driven neoepitope prediction, receptor-targeted antigen delivery, biomaterial-based modulation, and distributed mRNA manufacturing, seem to be promising approaches to accelerate personalized vaccine development in future. From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases. Host HLA diversity, prior immune history, and viral evolution create heterogeneity in immune responses, highlighting opportunities for semi-personalized or adaptive strategies. In this review, we provide a landscape of personalized vaccines, with a focus on DC-based platforms, and explore translational lessons for viral pathogens. A conceptual framework linking cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease preparedness is proposed, emphasizing hybrid personalization approaches, rapid manufacturing, and AI-enabled epitope selection. This perspective highlights how convergence of immunology, computational biology, and advanced vaccine technologies could expand the scope of personalized vaccination, from oncology to future epidemic and pandemic scenarios as well as the current challenges."

In particular, mRNA-based therapy provides a compelling alternative to small molecules and DNA-based gene therapy, combining high specificity with an excellent safety profile. However, its clinical translation hinges on the development of safe and efficient delivery systems. In this study, we present a rationally designed diblock copolymer that mediates highly effective PTEN mRNA delivery both in vitro and in vivo. The copolymer consists of a stealth PEG block and a cationic binding block, with precisely engineered 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide (DMAPMA) units. Following optimization of the PEG chain length, the structure PEG45-b-P(AAPBA21-co-DMAPMA18) achieved a critical balance of delivery properties, leading to enhanced cellular uptake, facilitated endosomal escape, and enabled mRNA release for protein translation. When further functionalized with folic acid (FA), the copolymer successfully restored PTEN expression and inhibited tumor growth (81.0% relative to the PBS control group) in vivo, with no significant toxicity observed under the tested conditions. We anticipate that this block copolymer-based PTEN mRNA delivery platform could provide a promising new approach for the treatment of NSCLC."

However, their limited stability poses significant challenges for storage and global distribution. The instability of mRNA-LNP products makes them dependent on ultra-cold chain systems. This instability is driven by various physicochemical factors, including temperature, pH, light exposure, oxidation, aggregation, shear stress, and humidity. These factors destabilize the physical and chemical integrity of both mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) components, leading to reduced vaccine potency and potentially increasing the risk of adverse safety outcomes. Understanding these factors and their mechanisms is crucial for retaining mRNA-LNP efficacy. This review discusses the key physicochemical instability factors and molecular degradation mechanisms responsible for the structural and functional deterioration of mRNA-LNP formulations. Further, we summarize the stabilization strategies and analytical methods used to detect and quantify the degradation of mRNA-LNP products. Addressing these challenges is critical for advancing next-generation nucleic acid-based drug products and LNP-based delivery systems."

Insufficient BKPyV-specific immunity underlies the onset and duration of BKPyV-DNAemia and nephropathy. BKPyV-specific T-cells have been correlated with protection and include cytotoxic CD8 T-cells targeting immunodominant 9mer-epitopes encoded in the viral large tumor-antigen (LTag). To develop vaccines increasing LTag-specific T-cells, we reduced the 695 amino acid-long LTag to 143 residues or less, comprising four clusters of immunodominant 9mers presented by 54 HLA-alleles. Prediction algorithms allowed to improve global coverage, AAY-linker placement, proteasomal processing, and solubility. Using a human cell culture vaccination model, transfection of adherent monocytes with LTAG1-mRNA and LTAG2-mRNA demonstrated the expected 13.9kD and 15.2kD immunogens, respectively. LTAG2-mRNA induced higher CD8 T-cell responses than LTAG1-mRNA, with an interferon-\u03b3-positive CD62L-CD45RA-effector memory phenotype and cytotoxicity for BKPyV-replicating primary human renal tubular epithelial cells. We tested three additional candidates (LTAG3-mRNA, LTAG4-mRNA, LTAG5-mRNA) by changing AAY-linkers and extending immunogenic regions. The encoded immunogens were expressed and increased upon proteasome inhibitor treatment. LTag5-expanded T-cells showed BKPyV-specific interferon-\u03b3 expression and cytotoxicity. Our results demonstrate novel approaches to design modular mRNA-based vaccine candidates for clinical development of non-secreted antigens using BKPyV as a paradigm of non-enveloped DNA viruses."

However, their direct impact on pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of budesonide on immune responses and the expression of coronavirus entry receptors in human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L). Materials and Methods: HMVEC-L cells were exposed to budesonide (1 ng/mL), a non-cytotoxic concentration selected based on cell viability assays. The mRNA expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), aminopeptidase N (AP-N), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), interferon beta (IFN-\u03b2), RANTES/CCL5, and interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8) was analyzed using quantitative RT-PCR. The surface expression of ACE2, DPP4, AP-N, and ICAM-1 was assessed using flow cytometry. Secreted IL-8 concentration was measured using ELISA. Results: Budesonide significantly reduced AP-N and DPP4 mRNA expression, accompanied by a decrease in the surface expression of both receptors. ACE2 mRNA expression was transiently reduced, whereas ACE2 surface expression was modestly increased by approximately 5% at 72 h. Budesonide also reduced early ICAM-1 mRNA expression but increased its surface expression at the later time point. Budesonide significantly reduced RANTES/CCL5 and IL-8/CXCL8 mRNA expression, with a corresponding decrease in secreted IL-8 concentration, whereas IFN-\u03b2 mRNA expression showed a non-significant statistical decrease. Conclusions: Budesonide directly modulates pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression. These findings indicate that budesonide modulates the expression of coronavirus-associated receptors and basal antiviral and inflammatory mediators in HMVEC-L cells. Because viral binding, entry, replication, and infection were not assessed, these results should be interpreted as evidence of receptor and immune-mediator modulation rather than as demonstrating altered coronavirus susceptibility."

These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine. These findings support the use of booster vaccination in these patients and inform future deployment of additional mRNA-based vaccines."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

Peptide vaccines provide simplicity and stability though often elicit limited cytotoxic T-cell responses. What is more, mRNA vaccines lead to rapid, multiplexed neoantigen delivery, endogenous antigen processing and eventually improved immunogenic coverage. Dendritic cell-based vaccines have the potency to prime potent T-cells although this technology requires labor-intensive manufacturing and extensive production timelines. Integration with immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, and oncolytic viruses further enhances efficacy, suggesting that rational combinations may be more effective than single modalities. Recent advances in sequencing, computational epitope prediction, and bioinformatics pipelines have facilitated neoantigen prioritization and DC vaccine design, enabling more rapid and precise personalization. Hybrid vaccination strategies, such as ex-vivo mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells and in-vivo DC-targeted platforms, bridge the gap between manufacturing feasibility and potent immune activation. Emerging technologies, including AI-driven neoepitope prediction, receptor-targeted antigen delivery, biomaterial-based modulation, and distributed mRNA manufacturing, seem to be promising approaches to accelerate personalized vaccine development in future. From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases. Host HLA diversity, prior immune history, and viral evolution create heterogeneity in immune responses, highlighting opportunities for semi-personalized or adaptive strategies. In this review, we provide a landscape of personalized vaccines, with a focus on DC-based platforms, and explore translational lessons for viral pathogens. A conceptual framework linking cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease preparedness is proposed, emphasizing hybrid personalization approaches, rapid manufacturing, and AI-enabled epitope selection. This perspective highlights how convergence of immunology, computational biology, and advanced vaccine technologies could expand the scope of personalized vaccination, from oncology to future epidemic and pandemic scenarios as well as the current challenges."

In particular, mRNA-based therapy provides a compelling alternative to small molecules and DNA-based gene therapy, combining high specificity with an excellent safety profile. However, its clinical translation hinges on the development of safe and efficient delivery systems. In this study, we present a rationally designed diblock copolymer that mediates highly effective PTEN mRNA delivery both in vitro and in vivo. The copolymer consists of a stealth PEG block and a cationic binding block, with precisely engineered 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide (DMAPMA) units. Following optimization of the PEG chain length, the structure PEG45-b-P(AAPBA21-co-DMAPMA18) achieved a critical balance of delivery properties, leading to enhanced cellular uptake, facilitated endosomal escape, and enabled mRNA release for protein translation. When further functionalized with folic acid (FA), the copolymer successfully restored PTEN expression and inhibited tumor growth (81.0% relative to the PBS control group) in vivo, with no significant toxicity observed under the tested conditions. We anticipate that this block copolymer-based PTEN mRNA delivery platform could provide a promising new approach for the treatment of NSCLC."

However, their limited stability poses significant challenges for storage and global distribution. The instability of mRNA-LNP products makes them dependent on ultra-cold chain systems. This instability is driven by various physicochemical factors, including temperature, pH, light exposure, oxidation, aggregation, shear stress, and humidity. These factors destabilize the physical and chemical integrity of both mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) components, leading to reduced vaccine potency and potentially increasing the risk of adverse safety outcomes. Understanding these factors and their mechanisms is crucial for retaining mRNA-LNP efficacy. This review discusses the key physicochemical instability factors and molecular degradation mechanisms responsible for the structural and functional deterioration of mRNA-LNP formulations. Further, we summarize the stabilization strategies and analytical methods used to detect and quantify the degradation of mRNA-LNP products. Addressing these challenges is critical for advancing next-generation nucleic acid-based drug products and LNP-based delivery systems."

These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine. These findings support the use of booster vaccination in these patients and inform future deployment of additional mRNA-based vaccines."

The chemokine CXCL10, an interferon-\u03b3-inducible mediator of T cell trafficking, has been implicated in immune activation and tissue injury. However, it remains unclear whether genetic variation in CXCL10 contributes to T cell dysregulation and clinical outcomes in sepsis. In a prospective cohort of septic patients (n=278), we analyzed CXCL10 rs8878 genotypes, circulating immune cell counts, cytokine concentrations, and CXCL10 protein and mRNA expression in whole blood. Associations between genotype, immune parameters, plasma proteomics and 30-day survival were assessed using group comparisons and Kaplan-Meier analyses. Correlation analyses were performed to evaluate relationships between CXCL10 concentrations, cytokines, and clinical parameters. Variants in the CXCL10 gene were associated with T cell dysregulation. Carriers of the rs8878 AA genotype exhibited higher circulating T cell counts and improved survival compared with G-allele carriers. Higher total and CD8+ T cell counts were significantly associated with improved survival. Among non-survivors, AA-genotype carriers showed increased CXCL10 mRNA expression, indicating genotype-dependent regulation of CXCL10 expression under conditions of fatal disease progression. CXCL10 concentrations on day 1 were positively correlated with multiple inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, MCP-1, IFN-\u03b3, and interferon-\u03b12, and inversely correlated with total T cell counts, supporting a link between CXCL10, systemic inflammation, and T cell depletion. No significant associations were observed between CXCL10 genotype and plasma proteomics and routine clinical parameters. The CXCL10 rs8878 genotype is associated with T cell dynamics and 30-day survival in sepsis, suggesting a genotype-dependent modulation of the adaptive immune response. While the AA genotype is linked to preserved T cell counts and improved outcomes, increased CXCL10 expression in non-survivors points to a context-dependent role in inflammation-driven immune dysregulation. These findings identify CXCL10 as a potential biomarker for risk stratification and a candidate target for immunomodulatory therapies in sepsis."

The study aim was to assess the safety and VE of the 2023-2024 protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5) in a real-world setting. The single-site, pragmatic BEEHIVE clinical trial was conducted among participants aged \u226518\u00a0years from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area, who had previously received \u22652 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, from November 17, 2023, through September 9, 2024. Randomized participants received a protein-based or mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a double-blind manner. An unblinded, nonrandomized comparator control group that did not receive a study vaccine was also enrolled. The primary aim measured VE between the randomized and comparator groups. The secondary aim was to measure rVE between the 2 vaccine platforms. In the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, VE and rVE were estimated using a proportional-hazards model for symptomatic infections confirmed by weekly self-administered rapid antigen tests (RATs) over 24\u00a0weeks, adjusted for covariates. Reactogenicity and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded. Randomized cohorts (N\u00a0=\u00a0909; protein-based, n\u00a0=\u00a0452; mRNA, n\u00a0=\u00a0457) were largely well-balanced with some differences in baseline covariates versus the comparator group (n\u00a0=\u00a0279), mostly age-related. The mITT population had 142 RAT-confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases with an adjusted VE of 43.6% (95% CI, 18.3-61.0); rVE (protein-based vs mRNA) was -26.7% (90% CI, -78.6% to 10.1%) and did not reach statistical significance. Safety and reactogenicity were comparable to previously reported findings, with no serious study vaccine-related TEAEs, myocarditis/pericarditis, hospitalization, or death.

A better understanding of LNP composition-immunogenicity relationships is therefore critical for rational vaccine design. Here, we profiled a panel of clinically relevant LNP formulations across complementary in vitro and in vivo models to define mechanisms underlying innate immune activation and adaptive responses. We identified three distinct cytokine programs: (i) a monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-dominated inflammatory response associated with cytotoxic stress; (ii) inflammasome-dependent interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2) secretion requiring pro-inflammatory priming; and (iii) type I and II interferon-dependent responses in which LNPs synergize with interferon gamma (IFN\u03b3) to amplify interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) production. Using a design of experiments (DoE) framework\u00a0with formulation feature analysis, we found that polyethylene glycol-conjugated (PEGylated) lipid content and ionizable lipid identity are key modulators of the IFN\u03b3/IP-10 axis, previously implicated in vaccine-associated myocarditis. In vivo validation showed that innate cytokine responses are strongly influenced by lipid composition, whereas adaptive humoral and cellular responses correlate with transgene expression rather than cytokine magnitude. Collectively, these findings define relationships among LNP composition, cytokine induction, and vaccine efficacy, and provide a framework for rational design and screening of LNP-based vaccines that maximize immunogenicity while minimizing reactogenicity."

Despite its high immunogenicity, the cellular mechanisms by which mRNA-LNP induces such unusual immune responses remain largely unclear. Here, we show that mRNA-LNP induces potent and long-lasting CD8 T cell expansion through an antigen presentation mechanism that differs from that of conventional adjuvants. In mice immunized with mRNA-LNP, the number of antigen-specific CD8 T cells was one order of magnitude higher than that induced by combining antigen proteins with immunostimulants such as lipopolysaccharide or polyinosinic:polycytidinic acid. Intramuscularly administered mRNA-LNPs were mainly taken up by migratory type 2 conventional dendritic cells in draining lymph nodes, resulting in notably strong and persistent antigen presentation through major histocompatibility complex class I. Furthermore, CD8 T cell induction by mRNA-LNP required migratory dendritic cells but not the traditional cross-presentation pathway that is otherwise essential for antiviral and antitumor immunity. Thus, the mRNA-LNP formulation exerts unconventional immune responses through a different antigen-presentation pathway from conventional component vaccines."

A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

An investigational messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccine called mRNA-1010 encodes hemagglutinin glycoproteins from World Health Organization-recommended influenza strains. In this phase 3, double-blind, active-controlled trial, we randomly assigned adults 50 years of age or older to receive trivalent mRNA-1010 (37.5 \u03bcg, which includes 12.5 \u03bcg of each strain) or a licensed standard-dose comparator. The primary efficacy end point was relative vaccine efficacy against reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness caused by influenza A or B, from at least 14 days after vaccination through the end of the influenza season. Hypothesis testing was conducted hierarchically to assess noninferiority (lower boundary of the 95% confidence interval [CI], >-10%), superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >0%), and a higher level of superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >9.1%). A total of 40,703 participants received mRNA-1010 (20,350 participants) or the standard-dose comparator (20,353 participants); the median follow-up was 181 days (range, 1 to 227). RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness was observed in 411 of 20,179 recipients of mRNA-1010 (2.0%) and 557 of 20,124 recipients of the standard-dose comparator (2.8%), which corresponds to a relative vaccine efficacy of 26.6% (95% CI, 16.7 to 35.4), thereby meeting the criteria for noninferiority, superiority, and higher-level superiority. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010 than with the standard-dose comparator (injection-site pain in 65.8% vs. 29.8%, fatigue in 45.1% vs. 20.3%, headache in 37.8% vs. 18.0%, and myalgia in 35.4% vs. 11.6%); most reactions were mild to moderate and transient. Serious adverse events were reported in 2.2% of the recipients of mRNA-1010 (with three events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related) and in 1.9% of the recipients of the standard-dose comparator (with two events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related). In this trial, mRNA-1010 was superior to standard-dose licensed vaccines for prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness in adults 50 years of age or older. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010. (Funded by Blackstone Life Sciences and Moderna; Fluent ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT06602024.)."

We employed sequence optimization strategies that successfully enhanced the antigen expression of hemagglutinin (HA) and developed mRNA vaccine candidates targeting the WHO-recommended strains. When administered at a low dose (0.1 \u03bcg), both mono-and trivalent influenza A mRNA vaccines induced robust humoral immunity and conferred complete protection against homologous viral challenge in murine models, outperforming the quadrivalent inactivated vaccine (QIV, 2 \u03bcg). In contrast, IBV mRNA vaccines at an equivalent dose failed to elicit detectable antibodies and offered no protection, consistent with prior evidence of suboptimal immunogenicity in human trials. These findings highlight strain-specific immunogenicity constraints inherent to conventional mRNA platforms. To overcome these limitations, we systematically compared three distinct RNA vaccine modalities: (1) nucleoside-modified mRNA, (2) self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), and (3) circular RNA (circRNA). Notably, a single 0.1\u2005\u00b5g dose of the trivalent saRNA vaccine elicited robust humoral immunity and provided complete protection against IBV challenge, whereas mRNA vaccination achieved only 14% survival. Importantly, long-term antibody monitoring over 20 weeks showed that saRNA at the low 0.1 \u03bcg dose maintained high antibody levels, with a markedly more durable response to IBV antigens than those of other platforms. Moreover, the trivalent mRNA vaccine exhibited a favourable safety profile, with no obvious abnormal body weight changes or serum biochemical abnormalities observed after immunization. Our findings advocate for strain-adaptive platform selection: conventional mRNA for generating rapid, high-magnitude responses against influenza A and next-generation saRNA vaccines for enhanced dose efficiency, particularly against IBV."

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

Vaccination is a cornerstone of disease prevention, though traditional platforms face challenges. Recently, several vaccines utilizing mRNA and adenovirus platforms were brought to the market, with additional vaccines undergoing Phase 3 clinical testing. This review assesses vaccine literature primarily from 2020 to the present, using National Library of Medicine databases. The rapidity of mRNA technology was tested and implemented successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the mRNA RSV vaccine has been licensed as well. mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens. Several combination products have been used in phase III clinical trials. Adenovirus-vectored vaccines for respiratory viruses have the added advantage of mucosal-based delivery and inducing a potentially stronger local immune response. However, both of these platforms have immunogenicity and safety shortcomings. Novel respiratory virus vaccine platforms have demonstrated their importance with both endemic and pandemic pathogens, because of decades of concerted efforts and investment in research. Expediting future vaccine development requires a continuation of these efforts with a focus on pre-clinical models and a better understanding of correlates of protection."

Current strain-specific vaccines remain inherently reactive, incapable of anticipating antigenic drift, reassortment, or zoonotic emergence. A paradigm shift toward universal vaccines-designed to target evolutionarily conserved viral epitopes and confer durable, broad-spectrum protection across strains, subtypes, and viral genera-represents the most strategically consequential frontier in contemporary vaccinology and pandemic preparedness. This comparative narrative review provides an integrated synthesis of universal influenza vaccine (UIV) and pan-coronavirus vaccine (UCV) development, critically evaluating conserved immunological targets, advanced platform technologies, Phase I-III clinical pipeline status, and key translational barriers. By juxtaposing both developmental trajectories in a single analytical framework, we identify convergent scientific principles and divergent challenges to inform a unified pandemic preparedness strategy-an approach not previously addressed in the literature. A structured narrative review was conducted via systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov covering 2015-June 2026, supplemented by hand-searching reference lists of landmark studies. MeSH and free-text terms encompassed universal influenza vaccines, pan-coronavirus vaccines, mRNA vaccine platforms, hemagglutinin stalk, neuraminidase, M2e, receptor-binding domain (RBD), fusion peptide, S2 subunit, and broadly neutralizing antibodies. Peer-reviewed original research articles, Phase I-III clinical trial reports, and authoritative reviews were included; non-English publications and preclinical-only studies lacking translational immunogenicity data were excluded. Conserved viral epitopes-principally the hemagglutinin (HA) stalk domain, neuraminidase (NA) ectodomain, and M2e protein for influenza, and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) Class 4 epitope, fusion peptide, and S2 subunit for coronaviruses-have been validated as targets for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Multiple advanced platforms, including lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA, adenoviral vectors, computationally designed self-assembling nanoparticles (Mosaic-8 RBD-I53-50, SpFN), and structure-guided protein antigens, are progressing through early-phase clinical trials with promising cross-reactive immunogenicity profiles. Comparative analysis reveals that UIV development benefits from well-characterised bnAb epitopes and established animal challenge models, while UCV development is accelerated by unprecedented mRNA manufacturing infrastructure and genomic surveillance networks built during the COVID-19 response. Shared translational obstacles include antigenic imprinting, the absence of validated correlates of protection for cross-strain immunity, and inequitable manufacturing scalability. Cross-strain protective vaccines against influenza and coronaviruses are scientifically achievable, supported by converging immunological principles and advancing clinical evidence across both fields. Accelerating translation to population-level protection requires coordinated investment in epitope-focused antigen engineering, correlate-of-protection validation, adaptive regulatory frameworks, and equitable global manufacturing capacity. Crucially, the scientific and policy lessons of COVID-19-both the remarkable speed enabled by prior platform investments and the inequities exposed in global vaccine distribution-must be integrated into universal respiratory virus vaccine programmes now, before the next pandemic forces another reactive response."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

This study evaluated trends in pharmacy-based influenza vaccination among adults aged \u226565 in New Zealand following the 2017 funding policy change, with the aim of examining whether the availability of government-funded influenza vaccination increased pharmacy-based vaccination in this population. Data on influenza vaccinations administered between 2015 and 2021 to adults \u226565 were provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Health from the National Immunisation Register. Descriptive analyses were employed to assess the absolute number and percentage of vaccinations given by each provider type from 2015 through 2021 to document trends after the public funding policy change and in the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study aim was to assess the safety and VE of the 2023-2024 protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5) in a real-world setting. The single-site, pragmatic BEEHIVE clinical trial was conducted among participants aged \u226518\u00a0years from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area, who had previously received \u22652 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, from November 17, 2023, through September 9, 2024.

Randomized cohorts (N\u00a0=\u00a0909; protein-based, n\u00a0=\u00a0452; mRNA, n\u00a0=\u00a0457) were largely well-balanced with some differences in baseline covariates versus the comparator group (n\u00a0=\u00a0279), mostly age-related. The mITT population had 142 RAT-confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases with an adjusted VE of 43.6% (95% CI, 18.3-61.0); rVE (protein-based vs mRNA) was -26.7% (90% CI, -78.6% to 10.1%) and did not reach statistical significance. Safety and reactogenicity were comparable to previously reported findings, with no serious study vaccine-related TEAEs, myocarditis/pericarditis, hospitalization, or death.

Large-sample clinical data have demonstrated that the in-hospital mortality of COVID-19-associated myocarditis reaches 19.4%, significantly higher than that of influenza-associated myocarditis (10.5%). Additionally, the incidence of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy-related myocarditis is 6.2%, while the mortality of sepsis-associated myocarditis is as high as 70%-90%. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the core pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity, dominate the entire pathological cascade, ranging from pathogen recognition and acute inflammatory burst to myocardial injury and chronic fibrous remodeling. Nevertheless, most current studies merely focus on the linear correlation between individual TLR activation and myocardial inflammation, failing to systematically clarify pathogen-TLR matching specificity and the spatiotemporal dynamic regulatory mechanisms of TLR signaling throughout disease progression. This review comprehensively combs the latest epidemiological profiles of infectious myocarditis, characterizes the expression patterns and signaling regulatory features of the TLR family within the cardiac immune microenvironment, analyzes pathogen-specific recognition modes mediated by common pathogens, elaborates the spatiotemporal regulatory rules of TLR signaling across acute inflammation, immune deviation and chronic fibrosis stages, and summarizes pathogen-oriented intervention strategies as well as relevant translational bottlenecks. Cumulative clinical evidence confirms that pathogen-TLR matching determines inflammatory phenotypes and severity of infectious myocarditis, and that the spatiotemporal dynamics of TLR signaling directly govern disease progression. Notably, TLR-targeted therapies must adhere to the core principles of pathogen specificity and staged precise regulation. This review provides a systematic theoretical basis for precise immunodiagnosis and individualized immunotherapy of infectious myocarditis."

By comprehensively applying CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R-based Bibliometrix package, metrics and visualization were performed across multiple dimensions, including publication volume, geographical contribution, annual trends, national/regional influence, core authors and institutions, and keywords. A total of 1,527 publications were included in this study. Since 2014, publication output in this field has shown significant growth, with a rapid upward trend emerging after 2020. At the national and institutional level, China ranked first globally in both the number of publications and total citation frequency. Research institutions in China not only serve as the dominant force in this field but also act as hubs for international collaboration. Notable contributions were made by institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Journal analysis revealed that the Journal of Ethnopharmacology is the most influential journal in this domain. In terms of scholarly impact, Yang Zifeng ranked first in both h-index and publication output, establishing them as the most prolific and influential core scholar in the field. Keyword analysis indicated that research focuses on core themes such as \"herbal medicine\" and \"antiviral activity.\" The evolutionary trajectory demonstrates a shift from traditional clinical practice toward modern mechanistic investigation. Driven by emerging public health events such as COVID-19, the field has rapidly integrated cutting-edge methodologies like network pharmacology, reflecting distinct characteristics of contemporary responsiveness and interdisciplinary convergence.

Improving clinical outcomes will require innovative therapeutic approaches that target unique molecular vulnerabilities. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway drives tumor progression across multiple cancers, including GBM. MAPK-interacting kinases (MNK1/2) represent MAPK downstream effectors that phosphorylate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), a regulator of oncogenic and anti-apoptotic mRNA translation. We previously identified pharmacological MNK inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for GBM, but most available MNK inhibitors lack specificity. Methods: Novel MNK inhibitor compounds were developed using medicinal chemistry optimization and evaluated through molecular docking and kinome profiling analyses. Antineoplastic activity was assessed in established GBM cell lines and patient-derived glioma stem cell models cultured as 3-D neurospheres under stem cell-permissive conditions. Effects on MNK signaling, cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were analyzed using immunoblotting, flow cytometry, viability assays, wound healing assays, and 3-D invasion assays. In addition, a compound screen was performed to identify therapeutic agents that enhance MNK-targeted therapy, followed by validation using pharmacological inhibition and siRNA-mediated knockdown approaches. Results: Our next-generation MNK inhibitor NUCC-201893 exhibited high target specificity and greater potency than the lead compound NU808, effectively suppressing eIF4E phosphorylation, GBM cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, and invasion. Compound screening identified DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibition as a potent enhancer of MNK blockade. Pharmacological DNMT inhibition enhanced the cytotoxic effects of siRNA-mediated MNK1 knockdown, while concurrent pharmacological inhibition of MNKs and DNMT resulted in greater suppression of neurosphere growth and robust induction of apoptotic responses in GSCs. Conclusions: These findings identify dual MNK and DNMT inhibition as a promising combinatorial strategy that effectively triggers antineoplastic effects in GBM cells and GSCs."

WHO estimates that vaccines targeting 23 pathogens (excluding Neisseria gonorrhoea) could reduce global antibiotic need by 22%, equivalent to 2\u00b75 billion defined daily doses annually. In the mRNA era, modular vaccine platforms enable rapid design of protein antigens and multivalent constructs, with emerging preclinical proof of concept against selected bacterial pathogens. In this Personal View, we argue that mRNA vaccines should be considered enabling platforms for selected protein-based MDRO targets rather than universal solutions for antibacterial vaccine development. We propose a microbiome-informed framework that distinguishes systemic protection from mucosal decolonisation and aligns antigen selection, delivery route, and trial endpoints with colonisation dynamics, microbiome resilience, and AMR reduction goals."

Despite decades of preparedness initiatives, critical technological and structural gaps persist, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where both vaccine access and sustainable manufacturing capacity remain limited. In this perspective, we examine key lessons from past influenza pandemics and global preparedness strategies, including the Global Action Plan for Influenza Vaccines, highlighting persistent challenges related to sustainable manufacturing capacity and equitable vaccine access. Additionally, we examine the potential of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine platforms to address these limitations, given their rapid design, scalable manufacturing, and adaptability to emerging pathogens. Moreover, we examine the role of neuraminidase (NA) as a complementary antigen capable of broadening immune protection and reducing viral transmission. Finally, we describe recent advances in Latin America, focusing on Argentina's participation in the mRNA Technology Transfer Programme co-led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), as a model for strengthening regional manufacturing capacity and contributing to global pandemic preparedness. Together, these elements indicate that effective H5N1 pandemic preparedness will require the integration of improved antigen design, flexible mRNA platforms, and sustainable regional manufacturing systems aligned with global procurement strategies."

These developments now enable the integration of histopathological images with non-image data, prediction of treatment response and prognosis, and reduction of the workload for medical professionals. In this review, we provide an overview of representative analytical methods for pathological images, as well as approaches for predicting biomarkers and therapeutic responsiveness directly from histological images. We summarize key studies across major cancer types, pan-cancer investigations, and examples that have been successfully implemented in clinical practice. Additionally, we introduce emerging frameworks such as quantitative analysis of cellular components and tumor microenvironments, pathology foundation models, mRNA expression-based treatment response prediction, integration with spatial transcriptomics data, and applications in clinical trial design. Despite this progress, several challenges remain, such as limited availability of large-scale, high-quality datasets, domain shift across institutions, lack of model interpretability, potential biases, and significant barriers to clinical implementation and regulatory approval. Nevertheless, future developments are expected to enable the simultaneous estimation of multiple biomarkers from a single pathological image, potentially eliminating the need for additional tests. Ultimately, such advances may facilitate rapid, patient-specific drug selection and contribute to more efficient and personalized cancer treatment."

We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses in 25 JN.1 mRNA vaccinees against eight variants, stratified by anti-nucleocapsid antibody serostatus. Postvaccination titers increased significantly against all variants in both N antibody-negative and -positive groups. Cross-neutralization against BA.3.2.2 was detected in both groups despite lower titers compared to JN.1. Antigenic cartography revealed that BA.3.2.2 was antigenically isolated from all JN.1-descendant variants. AZD3152/sipavibart retained potent neutralization against BA.3.2.2 but completely lost activity against all F456L-harboring JN.1-descendant variants, while VYD222/pemivibart and SA55 maintained broad activity.

"abstract_text": "ID: 42076068\nTitle: Advancing Needle-Free Jet Injectors for Global Vaccine Delivery.\nAbstract: Background: Global immunization programs continue to rely on needle-based injections despite persistent concerns regarding sharps disposal, accidental injuries, and the technical skill required for accurate intradermal administration. Needle-free jet injectors (NFJIs) are an alternative delivery method in which narrow, high-velocity liquid jets penetrate the skin without a needle. Contemporary designs, ranging from single-use disposable-syringe injectors to digitally controlled electromechanical devices, address historical safety issues and meet current WHO and FDA device expectations. Methods: Evidence from engineering analyses, preclinical modeling, and clinical trials was reviewed to characterize how jet velocity, nozzle structure, and formulation rheology influence skin penetration and drug dispersion. Published vaccine studies were examined for antibody responses, seroconversion, and reactogenicity compared with needle-syringe injection. Field vaccination campaign data from national campaigns and operational reports were evaluated to describe implementation steps, acceptability, and implementation constraints. Results: Published studies evaluating vaccines, including inactivated influenza, hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies, and measles, report antibody titers and seroconversion rates after NFJI administration that are comparable to those achieved with conventional intramuscular or intradermal needle injection. Needle-free delivery was associated with operational advantages in several immunization programs, including reduced sharps waste and improved vaccination rate during high-volume immunization campaigns. Local and systemic reactogenicity follows expected patterns, with slightly higher injection-site responses in some NFJI studies. Imaging and mechanical data confirm that jet performance depends on nozzle geometry and controlled pressure pulses. At the same time, formulation stability remains a critical determinant of successful jet-based vaccine administration, particularly for protein antigens, adjuvanted formulations, and emerging mRNA vaccines that may experience transient shear stress during high-velocity injection. Evidence from vaccination campaigns further indicates that needle-free jet injectors reduce sharps waste, simplify vaccine handling and administration procedures, and support rapid vaccine delivery in large-scale immunization programs. Conclusions: Needle-free jet injectors are a practical alternative to traditional needle-based injections for some vaccines. Their main benefits include enabling intradermal dose-sparing strategies, reducing reliance on sharps disposal methods, and enabling the efficient vaccination of large groups without compromising immunogenicity. Future research should define the physicochemical stability limits of biologic formulations subjected to jet injection and evaluate digitally controlled injectors capable of precise pressure modulation and adjustable delivery parameters. In addition, needle-free jet injection eliminates needle penetration and sharps handling, which may reduce needle-associated anxiety and improve vaccine acceptability among individuals with needle aversion."

Acting as the body's first line of defense, RM immunity integrates immune tolerance, barrier protection, immune surveillance, tissue repair, and the establishment of long-term immunological memory. Dysregulation of these processes contributes to a broad spectrum of diseases, including acute viral and bacterial infections, fungal colonization, and chronic inflammatory disorders, highlighting the urgent need for effective preventive strategies targeting the respiratory mucosa.

This review first summarizes the principal biological functions of the respiratory mucosa and the underlying mechanisms, followed by an overview of immune dysregulation associated with respiratory diseases. It then highlights recent advances in mucosal intervention strategies, with a particular focus on the development of RM vaccine platforms-including live-attenuated, inactivated, viral vector, protein subunit, and mRNA vaccines. It further discusses next-generation RM vaccine strategies emphasizing upper airway immunity, broadened antigen design and intranasal safety.

A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

An investigational messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccine called mRNA-1010 encodes hemagglutinin glycoproteins from World Health Organization-recommended influenza strains. In this phase 3, double-blind, active-controlled trial, we randomly assigned adults 50 years of age or older to receive trivalent mRNA-1010 (37.5 \u03bcg, which includes 12.5 \u03bcg of each strain) or a licensed standard-dose comparator. The primary efficacy end point was relative vaccine efficacy against reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness caused by influenza A or B, from at least 14 days after vaccination through the end of the influenza season. Hypothesis testing was conducted hierarchically to assess noninferiority (lower boundary of the 95% confidence interval [CI], >-10%), superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >0%), and a higher level of superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >9.1%). A total of 40,703 participants received mRNA-1010 (20,350 participants) or the standard-dose comparator (20,353 participants); the median follow-up was 181 days (range, 1 to 227). RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness was observed in 411 of 20,179 recipients of mRNA-1010 (2.0%) and 557 of 20,124 recipients of the standard-dose comparator (2.8%), which corresponds to a relative vaccine efficacy of 26.6% (95% CI, 16.7 to 35.4), thereby meeting the criteria for noninferiority, superiority, and higher-level superiority. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010 than with the standard-dose comparator (injection-site pain in 65.8% vs. 29.8%, fatigue in 45.1% vs. 20.3%, headache in 37.8% vs. 18.0%, and myalgia in 35.4% vs. 11.6%); most reactions were mild to moderate and transient. Serious adverse events were reported in 2.2% of the recipients of mRNA-1010 (with three events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related) and in 1.9% of the recipients of the standard-dose comparator (with two events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related). In this trial, mRNA-1010 was superior to standard-dose licensed vaccines for prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness in adults 50 years of age or older. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010. (Funded by Blackstone Life Sciences and Moderna; Fluent ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT06602024.)."

We employed sequence optimization strategies that successfully enhanced the antigen expression of hemagglutinin (HA) and developed mRNA vaccine candidates targeting the WHO-recommended strains. When administered at a low dose (0.1 \u03bcg), both mono-and trivalent influenza A mRNA vaccines induced robust humoral immunity and conferred complete protection against homologous viral challenge in murine models, outperforming the quadrivalent inactivated vaccine (QIV, 2 \u03bcg). In contrast, IBV mRNA vaccines at an equivalent dose failed to elicit detectable antibodies and offered no protection, consistent with prior evidence of suboptimal immunogenicity in human trials. These findings highlight strain-specific immunogenicity constraints inherent to conventional mRNA platforms. To overcome these limitations, we systematically compared three distinct RNA vaccine modalities: (1) nucleoside-modified mRNA, (2) self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), and (3) circular RNA (circRNA). Notably, a single 0.1\u2005\u00b5g dose of the trivalent saRNA vaccine elicited robust humoral immunity and provided complete protection against IBV challenge, whereas mRNA vaccination achieved only 14% survival. Importantly, long-term antibody monitoring over 20 weeks showed that saRNA at the low 0.1 \u03bcg dose maintained high antibody levels, with a markedly more durable response to IBV antigens than those of other platforms. Moreover, the trivalent mRNA vaccine exhibited a favourable safety profile, with no obvious abnormal body weight changes or serum biochemical abnormalities observed after immunization. Our findings advocate for strain-adaptive platform selection: conventional mRNA for generating rapid, high-magnitude responses against influenza A and next-generation saRNA vaccines for enhanced dose efficiency, particularly against IBV."

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

Vaccination is a cornerstone of disease prevention, though traditional platforms face challenges. Recently, several vaccines utilizing mRNA and adenovirus platforms were brought to the market, with additional vaccines undergoing Phase 3 clinical testing. This review assesses vaccine literature primarily from 2020 to the present, using National Library of Medicine databases. The rapidity of mRNA technology was tested and implemented successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the mRNA RSV vaccine has been licensed as well. mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens. Several combination products have been used in phase III clinical trials. Adenovirus-vectored vaccines for respiratory viruses have the added advantage of mucosal-based delivery and inducing a potentially stronger local immune response. However, both of these platforms have immunogenicity and safety shortcomings. Novel respiratory virus vaccine platforms have demonstrated their importance with both endemic and pandemic pathogens, because of decades of concerted efforts and investment in research. Expediting future vaccine development requires a continuation of these efforts with a focus on pre-clinical models and a better understanding of correlates of protection."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026.

This study evaluated trends in pharmacy-based influenza vaccination among adults aged \u226565 in New Zealand following the 2017 funding policy change, with the aim of examining whether the availability of government-funded influenza vaccination increased pharmacy-based vaccination in this population. Data on influenza vaccinations administered between 2015 and 2021 to adults \u226565 were provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Health from the National Immunisation Register. Descriptive analyses were employed to assess the absolute number and percentage of vaccinations given by each provider type from 2015 through 2021 to document trends after the public funding policy change and in the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of influenza vaccinations administered increased from 322\u2009161 in 2015 to 525\u2009769 in 2021.

We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses in 25 JN.1 mRNA vaccinees against eight variants, stratified by anti-nucleocapsid antibody serostatus. Postvaccination titers increased significantly against all variants in both N antibody-negative and -positive groups. Cross-neutralization against BA.3.2.2 was detected in both groups despite lower titers compared to JN.1. Antigenic cartography revealed that BA.3.2.2 was antigenically isolated from all JN.1-descendant variants. AZD3152/sipavibart retained potent neutralization against BA.3.2.2 but completely lost activity against all F456L-harboring JN.1-descendant variants, while VYD222/pemivibart and SA55 maintained broad activity. Retention of wild-type F456 in BA.3.2.2 preserves class 1/2 antibody epitopes, providing a mechanistic basis for cross-neutralization and suggesting a potential therapeutic window for sipavibart should BA.3.2.2 expand globally, pending clinical confirmation."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42076068\nTitle: Advancing Needle-Free Jet Injectors for Global Vaccine Delivery.\nAbstract: Background: Global immunization programs continue to rely on needle-based injections despite persistent concerns regarding sharps disposal, accidental injuries, and the technical skill required for accurate intradermal administration. Needle-free jet injectors (NFJIs) are an alternative delivery method in which narrow, high-velocity liquid jets penetrate the skin without a needle. Contemporary designs, ranging from single-use disposable-syringe injectors to digitally controlled electromechanical devices, address historical safety issues and meet current WHO and FDA device expectations. Methods: Evidence from engineering analyses, preclinical modeling, and clinical trials was reviewed to characterize how jet velocity, nozzle structure, and formulation rheology influence skin penetration and drug dispersion. Published vaccine studies were examined for antibody responses, seroconversion, and reactogenicity compared with needle-syringe injection. Field vaccination campaign data from national campaigns and operational reports were evaluated to describe implementation steps, acceptability, and implementation constraints. Results: Published studies evaluating vaccines, including inactivated influenza, hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies, and measles, report antibody titers and seroconversion rates after NFJI administration that are comparable to those achieved with conventional intramuscular or intradermal needle injection. Needle-free delivery was associated with operational advantages in several immunization programs, including reduced sharps waste and improved vaccination rate during high-volume immunization campaigns. Local and systemic reactogenicity follows expected patterns, with slightly higher injection-site responses in some NFJI studies. Imaging and mechanical data confirm that jet performance depends on nozzle geometry and controlled pressure pulses. At the same time, formulation stability remains a critical determinant of successful jet-based vaccine administration, particularly for protein antigens, adjuvanted formulations, and emerging mRNA vaccines that may experience transient shear stress during high-velocity injection. Evidence from vaccination campaigns further indicates that needle-free jet injectors reduce sharps waste, simplify vaccine handling and administration procedures, and support rapid vaccine delivery in large-scale immunization programs. Conclusions: Needle-free jet injectors are a practical alternative to traditional needle-based injections for some vaccines. Their main benefits include enabling intradermal dose-sparing strategies, reducing reliance on sharps disposal methods, and enabling the efficient vaccination of large groups without compromising immunogenicity. Future research should define the physicochemical stability limits of biologic formulations subjected to jet injection and evaluate digitally controlled injectors capable of precise pressure modulation and adjustable delivery parameters. In addition, needle-free jet injection eliminates needle penetration and sharps handling, which may reduce needle-associated anxiety and improve vaccine acceptability among individuals with needle aversion."

Here, we developed a capless samRNA (CLsamRNA) vaccine platform derived from a Coxsackievirus B5 replicon that uses IRES-mediated cap-independent translation. Systematic optimization of key genetic elements enhanced antigen expression from the CLsamRNA backbone. Using reporter RNAs, LNP-formulated CLsamRNA showed rapid early expression and RNA amplification, with expression kinetics distinct from VEEV-based saRNA and nucleoside-modified mRNA comparators. When encoding the hemagglutinin antigen of highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses, CLsamRNA induced potent immune responses after LNP formulation. In mouse models, CLsamRNA induced potent neutralizing antibody responses, cross-reactive activity against clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus, Th1-skewed humoral immunity, and strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses. CLsamRNA also elicited platform-specific early inflammatory and lymph-node immune gene signatures associated with antigen presentation, costimulation, and cellular immune priming. Notably, a minimal 0.01 \u03bcg dose of CLsamRNA conferred complete protection against lethal H5N8 influenza virus challenge in BALB/c mice. These findings support CLsamRNA as a distinct cap-independent RNA vaccine platform with dose-sparing protective efficacy against HPAI H5 viruses."

Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of antiviral immunity and antigen presentation; yet, the direct impact of RSV on these pathways remains poorly understood. In this study, we identify sustained HLA-DM expression as a unique hallmark of RSV infected CD1c+ DCs, a phenotype not observed following influenza infection or poly(I:C) stimulation. Using single cell RNA sequencing, pharmacological inhibition, and complementary controls, we demonstrate that TBK1 dependent Type I Interferon signaling is a key regulator of HLA-DM expression during DC maturation. Co-culture experiments further suggest that HLA-DM-high DCs influence CD4+ T cell differentiation, supporting a model in which sustained HLA-DM expression reshapes antigen presentation and downstream adaptive immunity. Together, these findings uncover a previously unknown link between innate antiviral signaling and antigen presentation machinery in human DCs."

Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382."

These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine.

Large-sample clinical data have demonstrated that the in-hospital mortality of COVID-19-associated myocarditis reaches 19.4%, significantly higher than that of influenza-associated myocarditis (10.5%). Additionally, the incidence of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy-related myocarditis is 6.2%, while the mortality of sepsis-associated myocarditis is as high as 70%-90%. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the core pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity, dominate the entire pathological cascade, ranging from pathogen recognition and acute inflammatory burst to myocardial injury and chronic fibrous remodeling. Nevertheless, most current studies merely focus on the linear correlation between individual TLR activation and myocardial inflammation, failing to systematically clarify pathogen-TLR matching specificity and the spatiotemporal dynamic regulatory mechanisms of TLR signaling throughout disease progression. This review comprehensively combs the latest epidemiological profiles of infectious myocarditis, characterizes the expression patterns and signaling regulatory features of the TLR family within the cardiac immune microenvironment, analyzes pathogen-specific recognition modes mediated by common pathogens, elaborates the spatiotemporal regulatory rules of TLR signaling across acute inflammation, immune deviation and chronic fibrosis stages, and summarizes pathogen-oriented intervention strategies as well as relevant translational bottlenecks. Cumulative clinical evidence confirms that pathogen-TLR matching determines inflammatory phenotypes and severity of infectious myocarditis, and that the spatiotemporal dynamics of TLR signaling directly govern disease progression. Notably, TLR-targeted therapies must adhere to the core principles of pathogen specificity and staged precise regulation. This review provides a systematic theoretical basis for precise immunodiagnosis and individualized immunotherapy of infectious myocarditis."

Vaccination is a cornerstone of disease prevention, though traditional platforms face challenges. Recently, several vaccines utilizing mRNA and adenovirus platforms were brought to the market, with additional vaccines undergoing Phase 3 clinical testing. This review assesses vaccine literature primarily from 2020 to the present, using National Library of Medicine databases. The rapidity of mRNA technology was tested and implemented successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the mRNA RSV vaccine has been licensed as well. mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens. Several combination products have been used in phase III clinical trials. Adenovirus-vectored vaccines for respiratory viruses have the added advantage of mucosal-based delivery and inducing a potentially stronger local immune response. However, both of these platforms have immunogenicity and safety shortcomings. Novel respiratory virus vaccine platforms have demonstrated their importance with both endemic and pandemic pathogens, because of decades of concerted efforts and investment in research. Expediting future vaccine development requires a continuation of these efforts with a focus on pre-clinical models and a better understanding of correlates of protection."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease."

August, 2026 PathMap\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis review synthesizes current evidence regarding mRNA-based influenza vaccine platforms. The claim is evaluated as plausible, supported by the ongoing shift toward modular, rapid-response mRNA technologies capable of eliciting robust humoral and cellular immunity, while acknowledging concurrent challenges such as antigenic mismatch and variable clinical performance in older populations.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nMessenger RNA (mRNA) platforms represent a transformative development in vaccine science, offering unparalleled speed and adaptability compared to traditional egg-based or cell-culture influenza vaccines. As demonstrated by recent studies, mRNA-1010 and similar candidates have shown immunogenicity comparable to currently licensed enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) in populations aged 65 and older. The mechanism of protection typically involves the induction of potent Th1/Tfh1-biased responses, high-affinity neutralizing antibodies, and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, the modular nature of mRNA allows for rapid adaptation to emerging variants, providing a scalable solution to the persistent challenge of antigenic drift. While clinical performance can be influenced by host factors like immunosenescence and prior exposure, current evidence indicates that mRNA technologies remain a critical frontier for minimizing morbidity in high-risk cohorts.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA vaccines for influenza demonstrate clinical efficacy profiles that are statistically comparable to current licensed enhanced vaccines (EVs) in geriatric populations.\n* The use of non-canonical delivery systems, such as piezoelectric electroporation (Piezopen), shows potential for \"naked\" mRNA delivery, potentially bypassing inflammatory lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carriers.\n* There is no evidence of significant structural cerebral changes following mRNA vaccination, contradicting concerns regarding microstructural brain alterations in the subacute phase.\n* Antigenic mismatch continues to be a primary driver of variable effectiveness, necessitating the transition to recombinant protein and mRNA platforms.\n* Sequential vaccination of COVID-19 and influenza antigens does not appear to compromise the individual immunogenicity of either vaccine in immunocompromised populations.\n* Adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines have shown comparable protection against medically attended influenza in real-world cohorts.\n* The persistence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in skin lesions post-vaccination remains an area for continued clinical investigation regarding vasculitic manifestations.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Current clinical evidence supports that mRNA-1010 and multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccines provide immunogenicity comparable or superior to licensed high-dose/enhanced influenza vaccines, maintaining a favorable safety profile with no significant increase in reactogenicity or serious adverse events.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe rapid development of mRNA technology during the COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated the creation of versatile vaccine platforms for seasonal influenza. Clinical evaluations indicate that these vaccines, including mRNA-1010 and the quadrivalent-like multicomponent mRNA-1083, are capable of generating robust humoral and cellular immune responses. The data suggest that these platforms are not merely comparable to existing enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) but also offer advantages in rapid antigen optimization. Specifically, mRNA-1010 has demonstrated efficacy profiles similar to currently licensed EVs in adults aged 65 and older, while mRNA-1083 has shown noninferiority and, in some contexts, superiority to active comparators for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Safety analyses across these studies consistently support their well-tolerated nature.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 immunogenicity is comparable to traditional high-dose influenza vaccines, a critical finding for addressing immunosenescence in older populations.\n* The multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccine enables simultaneous protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 without compromising individual immune response magnitudes.\n* Capless self-amplifying mRNA (CLsamRNA) platforms show extreme dose-sparing potential (e.g., 0.01 \u03bcg), reducing the manufacturing requirements for large-scale production.\n* mRNA vaccination induces a distinct Th1/Tfh1-biased cellular immune response, which correlates with long-lasting memory.\n* Sequential administration of mRNA-based COVID-19 and influenza vaccines does not inhibit the development of antigen-specific immunity against either virus.\n* mRNA-based influenza platforms can be rapidly updated to address antigenic drift, a key improvement over egg-based production.\n* No signals for myocarditis or pericarditis were identified in the reported phase 3 clinical trials for mRNA-1083.\n* Current mRNA-LNP delivery systems are being engineered to shift expression profiles, such as increasing spleen-selective immunity for better T-cell priming.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

August, 2026 PathMap\" (Evaluating the efficacy, platform evolution, and clinical utility of mRNA-based influenza vaccines as of August 2026).\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe clinical development of mRNA-based influenza vaccines has advanced rapidly, demonstrating superiority over standard-dose vaccines and providing a versatile platform for multi-pathogen and universal vaccine strategies. As of August 2026, evidence suggests mRNA-1010 achieves comparable effectiveness to enhanced vaccines, while next-generation platforms like self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) demonstrate enhanced dose-sparing and efficacy against influenza B (IBV).\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nMessenger RNA vaccine platforms have evolved from emergency pandemic tools to robust, versatile instruments for seasonal influenza management. Clinical evidence confirms that mRNA-1010 provides significant clinical utility, with studies identifying its superiority against standard-dose comparators and its comparable performance to licensed enhanced vaccines. A critical paradigm shift is currently underway, moving beyond simple strain-specific hemagglutinin targeting toward broader cross-protective modalities, including the integration of neuraminidase antigens and internal viral proteins. The primary limitation of current conventional mRNA platforms, specifically their suboptimal efficacy against IBV, is being addressed by next-generation modalities such as self-amplifying RNA and capless vaccine designs, which facilitate higher, more durable immune responses at lower dosages.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 is consistently shown to be superior to standard-dose vaccines for the prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza-like illness in older adults.\n* The integration of internal viral proteins (e.g., nucleoprotein) and neuraminidase is essential for achieving universal cross-protection.\n* Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) platforms significantly improve IBV-specific immunogenicity compared to conventional mRNA.\n* Pharmacist-led vaccination programs, as seen in New Zealand, remain a primary driver for increasing vaccine uptake in the geriatric population.\n* The use of needle-free jet injectors provides a potential technological bridge for more efficient, dose-sparing delivery of future mRNA influenza formulations.\n* Current data indicate that mRNA-based multicomponent vaccines (e.g., mRNA-1083) represent a viable strategy for co-protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2.\n* There is a transition in research focus from mere antibody titer measurement to monitoring circulating follicular helper T-cell responses for deeper immunological memory assessment.\n* Computational and algorithm-optimized mRNA H5 influenza vaccines are now successfully inducing broad immune responses against clades of highly pathogenic avian influenza.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

"finalResponse": "Scientists are developing new types of flu vaccines using messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, similar to the technology used in some COVID-19 vaccines. Here is a simple breakdown of what the research says as of August 2026:\n\n**1. Better Than Older Options**\nRecent studies show that new mRNA flu vaccines (like one called mRNA-1010) work just as well as the \"enhanced\" or \"high-dose\" flu shots currently used for older adults [ID: 42550058]. In some cases, these new vaccines have even performed better than standard-dose flu shots in preventing illness [ID: 42090792].\n\n**2. Speed and Flexibility**\nBecause mRNA vaccines do not rely on traditional methods like growing viruses in chicken eggs, they can be produced much faster [ID: 42379196, 42245671]. If the flu virus changes or a new strain emerges, researchers can update the vaccine recipe quickly to match the new version [ID: 42236761].\n\n**3. Safety and Comfort**\nIn clinical trials, these vaccines have been found to be safe and well-tolerated by patients [ID: 42441816, 42531981]. Researchers have specifically looked for serious side effects, such as heart inflammation, and have not found evidence of these issues in the tested groups [ID: 42531981].\n\n**4. Efficiency**\nNewer versions of this technology, called \"self-amplifying\" mRNA, are being designed to work with much smaller doses [ID: 42528137]. This means we might eventually be able to make more vaccine doses using fewer raw materials. \n\n**5. Combined Protection**\nScientists are also testing \"multicomponent\" vaccines that can protect against both the flu and COVID-19 at the same time, without the two vaccines interfering with each other\u2019s ability to build immunity [ID: 42531981, 42410167].\n\nIn short, mRNA technology is becoming a powerful, flexible, and safe tool that could improve how we protect people from the flu in the future.",

August, 2026 PathMap\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis review synthesizes current evidence regarding mRNA-based influenza vaccine platforms. The claim is evaluated as plausible, supported by the ongoing shift toward modular, rapid-response mRNA technologies capable of eliciting robust humoral and cellular immunity, while acknowledging concurrent challenges such as antigenic mismatch and variable clinical performance in older populations.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nMessenger RNA (mRNA) platforms represent a transformative development in vaccine science, offering unparalleled speed and adaptability compared to traditional egg-based or cell-culture influenza vaccines. As demonstrated by recent studies, mRNA-1010 and similar candidates have shown immunogenicity comparable to currently licensed enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) in populations aged 65 and older. The mechanism of protection typically involves the induction of potent Th1/Tfh1-biased responses, high-affinity neutralizing antibodies, and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, the modular nature of mRNA allows for rapid adaptation to emerging variants, providing a scalable solution to the persistent challenge of antigenic drift. While clinical performance can be influenced by host factors like immunosenescence and prior exposure, current evidence indicates that mRNA technologies remain a critical frontier for minimizing morbidity in high-risk cohorts.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA vaccines for influenza demonstrate clinical efficacy profiles that are statistically comparable to current licensed enhanced vaccines (EVs) in geriatric populations.\n* The use of non-canonical delivery systems, such as piezoelectric electroporation (Piezopen), shows potential for \"naked\" mRNA delivery, potentially bypassing inflammatory lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carriers.\n* There is no evidence of significant structural cerebral changes following mRNA vaccination, contradicting concerns regarding microstructural brain alterations in the subacute phase.\n* Antigenic mismatch continues to be a primary driver of variable effectiveness, necessitating the transition to recombinant protein and mRNA platforms.\n* Sequential vaccination of COVID-19 and influenza antigens does not appear to compromise the individual immunogenicity of either vaccine in immunocompromised populations.\n* Adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines have shown comparable protection against medically attended influenza in real-world cohorts.\n* The persistence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in skin lesions post-vaccination remains an area for continued clinical investigation regarding vasculitic manifestations.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Current clinical evidence supports that mRNA-1010 and multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccines provide immunogenicity comparable or superior to licensed high-dose/enhanced influenza vaccines, maintaining a favorable safety profile with no significant increase in reactogenicity or serious adverse events.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe rapid development of mRNA technology during the COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated the creation of versatile vaccine platforms for seasonal influenza. Clinical evaluations indicate that these vaccines, including mRNA-1010 and the quadrivalent-like multicomponent mRNA-1083, are capable of generating robust humoral and cellular immune responses. The data suggest that these platforms are not merely comparable to existing enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) but also offer advantages in rapid antigen optimization. Specifically, mRNA-1010 has demonstrated efficacy profiles similar to currently licensed EVs in adults aged 65 and older, while mRNA-1083 has shown noninferiority and, in some contexts, superiority to active comparators for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Safety analyses across these studies consistently support their well-tolerated nature.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 immunogenicity is comparable to traditional high-dose influenza vaccines, a critical finding for addressing immunosenescence in older populations.\n* The multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccine enables simultaneous protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 without compromising individual immune response magnitudes.\n* Capless self-amplifying mRNA (CLsamRNA) platforms show extreme dose-sparing potential (e.g., 0.01 \u03bcg), reducing the manufacturing requirements for large-scale production.\n* mRNA vaccination induces a distinct Th1/Tfh1-biased cellular immune response, which correlates with long-lasting memory.\n* Sequential administration of mRNA-based COVID-19 and influenza vaccines does not inhibit the development of antigen-specific immunity against either virus.\n* mRNA-based influenza platforms can be rapidly updated to address antigenic drift, a key improvement over egg-based production.\n* No signals for myocarditis or pericarditis were identified in the reported phase 3 clinical trials for mRNA-1083.\n* Current mRNA-LNP delivery systems are being engineered to shift expression profiles, such as increasing spleen-selective immunity for better T-cell priming.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

August, 2026 PathMap\" (Evaluating the efficacy, platform evolution, and clinical utility of mRNA-based influenza vaccines as of August 2026).\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe clinical development of mRNA-based influenza vaccines has advanced rapidly, demonstrating superiority over standard-dose vaccines and providing a versatile platform for multi-pathogen and universal vaccine strategies. As of August 2026, evidence suggests mRNA-1010 achieves comparable effectiveness to enhanced vaccines, while next-generation platforms like self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) demonstrate enhanced dose-sparing and efficacy against influenza B (IBV).\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nMessenger RNA vaccine platforms have evolved from emergency pandemic tools to robust, versatile instruments for seasonal influenza management. Clinical evidence confirms that mRNA-1010 provides significant clinical utility, with studies identifying its superiority against standard-dose comparators and its comparable performance to licensed enhanced vaccines. A critical paradigm shift is currently underway, moving beyond simple strain-specific hemagglutinin targeting toward broader cross-protective modalities, including the integration of neuraminidase antigens and internal viral proteins. The primary limitation of current conventional mRNA platforms, specifically their suboptimal efficacy against IBV, is being addressed by next-generation modalities such as self-amplifying RNA and capless vaccine designs, which facilitate higher, more durable immune responses at lower dosages.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 is consistently shown to be superior to standard-dose vaccines for the prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza-like illness in older adults.\n* The integration of internal viral proteins (e.g., nucleoprotein) and neuraminidase is essential for achieving universal cross-protection.\n* Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) platforms significantly improve IBV-specific immunogenicity compared to conventional mRNA.\n* Pharmacist-led vaccination programs, as seen in New Zealand, remain a primary driver for increasing vaccine uptake in the geriatric population.\n* The use of needle-free jet injectors provides a potential technological bridge for more efficient, dose-sparing delivery of future mRNA influenza formulations.\n* Current data indicate that mRNA-based multicomponent vaccines (e.g., mRNA-1083) represent a viable strategy for co-protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2.\n* There is a transition in research focus from mere antibody titer measurement to monitoring circulating follicular helper T-cell responses for deeper immunological memory assessment.\n* Computational and algorithm-optimized mRNA H5 influenza vaccines are now successfully inducing broad immune responses against clades of highly pathogenic avian influenza.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382."

Global deployment of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic provided an unprecedented real-world evaluation of this platform, with billions of doses administered across diverse populations. In this Review, we critically examine the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines from mechanistic, preclinical, clinical, and public health perspectives. We outline the biological basis of mRNA vaccines, including their transient cytoplasmic expression, lack of genomic integration, and rapid clearance, distinguishing them clearly from other gene therapies. We synthesise evidence on vaccine components, manufacturing quality controls, and regulatory standards that underpin safety, alongside data from randomised trials, post-authorisation surveillance, and active pharmacovigilance systems. We also review real-world effectiveness across age groups, pregnancy, and populations that are immunocompromised, along with the effects on transmission. Last, we address public perception and vaccine confidence, and discuss implications for next-generation mRNA vaccines, including strategies to reduce reactogenicity, improve breadth and durability of immunity, enhance global access, and support sustainable public trust. Together, the accumulated evidence affirms mRNA vaccines as a safe, effective, and adaptable platform with enduring relevance for future infectious disease prevention and public health preparedness, and for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease."

This review summarizes recent progress in COVID-19 mRNA vaccine technology, clinical performance, immunological mechanisms, and translational applications. First-generation nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines formulated in lipid nanoparticles demonstrated strong protection against symptomatic disease and, more durably, against severe outcomes, while variant-driven immune escape, waning protection against infection, limited mucosal immunity, and heterogeneous responses in special populations revealed important constraints. The review compares mRNA vaccines with other COVID-19 vaccine platforms and clarifies endpoint-specific correlates of protection, emphasizing the distinct roles of neutralizing antibodies, memory B cells, T-cell responses, and non-neutralizing antibody functions. It further examines unresolved issues associated with repeated vaccination, including immune imprinting and IgG4 class switching, and evaluates technological strategies designed to improve durability, breadth, delivery, and immune programming. Key innovations include optimized RNA chemistry, structure-guided antigen design, advanced lipid nanoparticle formulations, alternative delivery systems, immune-shaping adjuvant approaches, and next-generation RNA formats such as self-amplifying RNA and circular RNA. Finally, the review discusses vaccination strategies for immunocompromised individuals, pregnant and lactating women, older adults, and children, as well as the expansion of mRNA technology into respiratory virus vaccines, cancer immunotherapy, and therapeutic protein expression.

To address this challenge, we engineered and comprehensively tested three optimized mRNA vaccine candidates, evaluating the kinetics, quality, and magnitude of antibody responses as well as antigen-specific T cell immunity during a prime-boost vaccination regimen in mice. Among the tested candidates, TP2A encoding secreted receptor-binding domains (RBDs) derived from SARS-CoV-2 wild type (WT), Delta and Omicron variants demonstrated superior immunogenicity, inducing an early IgG2a-dominated antibody response against distinct SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein variants. In addition, TP2A elicited IFN-\u03b3-producing T cells in both spleen and draining lymph nodes and antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Notably, beyond broad immunity induced by the vaccine, TP2A functions as a modular platform, thus enabling flexible antigen assembly and rapid vaccine adaptation to newly emerging variants or even other viral pathogens. These findings position TP2A as a promising next-generation mRNA vaccine candidate."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

While defaulting to pre-booked slots may increase uptake, potential rebound effects remain unclear. We examine preferences between appointment types, their effect on vaccination intentions, and whether effects are different for individuals hesitant about this vaccination round. A mixed-methods approach was used to assess vaccination intentions for three groups (<60 with influenza vaccination indication, 60-69 and 70+ years) eligible for pre-booked appointments. In a two-phase formative evaluation study, we examined attitudes around pre-booked appointments in 15 interviews (phase 1) and experimentally tested (phase 2) perceived burden of pre-booked appointments vs self-scheduled appointments and their effect on vaccination intentions in a representative online panel (n\u00a0=\u00a01.886) and those who experience hesitancy about this vaccination. Interviews (phase 1) showed that pre-booked appointments are seen as presumptuous or inconvenient by some, but also as a useful aid in support of vaccination uptake, sometimes by the same people. Participants in the experiment (phase 2) indicated to perceive self-scheduling as less burdensome (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.23) but this perception did not translate to differences in vaccination intentions (Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a01.11) Similar results were observed in the hesitant subgroup (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.25; Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a00.88).

Data on the magnitude and determinants of immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in this population remain limited. I-SPARC is a prospective, phase IV clinical trial evaluating humoral and cellular immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in 115 patients with cancer, including those receiving systemic therapy and those in remission. Anti-Spike antibody titers were measured longitudinally, and immunophenotyping was performed to assess T and B cell subsets. Clinical outcomes, including SARS-CoV-2 infection, were recorded. All patients developed detectable anti-Spike antibodies, although absolute titers varied by cancer type and treatment. Patients with hematologic malignancies and/or receiving chemotherapy had the lowest anti-Spike antibody levels. Booster doses significantly increased titers, particularly in patients in remission or receiving non-cytotoxic therapies. Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and the number of vaccine doses were associated with better responses. Immunophenotyping confirmed vaccine-induced expansion of memory T and B lymphocyte subpopulations. SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred in 16% of our cohort, with infrequent severe cases. mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with cancer, despite variability according to disease type and treatment. These findings support the use of booster strategies and provide a rationale for tailored vaccination approaches in immunocompromised populations."

Our results demonstrate that N-terminal fusion critically determines the reliability of regulatory-sequence characterization in target-gene-specific coding contexts, with strong gene- and length-dependent effects. Fusions as short as 45 bp failed to rescue context-sensitive cases. However, among the tested fusion lengths, fusions of 90 bp or longer achieved strong correlations (mean R2\u202f>\u202f0.75) between reporter fluorescence and target protein activity.

A reactogenicity score was developed from PV data, based on reported symptoms and their intensity showing higher reactogenicity with viral vector vaccines. A parallel score was developed from non-clinical data (biomarkers and histopathological analysis). No correlation was evidenced between clinical outcomes and non-clinical parameters. For rare adverse events, the analysis identified clinical biomarkers such as troponin in the case of myocarditis. These rare events were not predicted by non-clinical studies as expected.

It draws upon multidimensional evaluation frameworks covering humoral, cellular, and mucosal immunity, incorporating analytical techniques such as hemagglutination inhibition assays, microneutralization assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, mucosal secretory IgA detection, enzyme-linked immunospot assays, and flow cytometry. Furthermore, clinical challenge trials evaluations play an essential role in elucidating the relationship between immunogenicity and protective efficacy.

This retrospective case-control study includes 9 patients with persistent or delayed-onset vasculitic skin lesions following COVID-19 infection (n=4) or mRNA vaccination (n=5).

Prepandemic leukocytoclastic vasculitis (n=3) and healthy postinfection/postvaccination skin (n=3) served as controls.

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

Descriptive analyses and time-series modeling were performed to evaluate vaccination coverage patterns and healthcare demand over time. Across all analyzed populations at risk, the number of individuals receiving healthcare services was consistently lower than the number of notified cases and substantially lower than prevalence-based epidemiological estimates. Vaccination coverage varied considerably across populations at risk and remained incomplete throughout the study period. In 2021, although approximately 12.5 million influenza vaccine doses were administered among populations at risk, a substantial proportion of potentially eligible individuals remained unvaccinated. Forecasting analyses suggested a progressive increase in healthcare demand among populations at risk over time. Important gaps persist between the estimated population at risk, diagnosed individuals, healthcare utilization, and influenza vaccination coverage in Mexico. The analytical framework proposed in this study integrates epidemiological prevalence estimates, healthcare utilization patterns, and vaccination data to identify unmet vaccination needs and may support improved public health planning, prioritization strategies, and strengthening of influenza vaccination programs in Mexico and similar settings."

The evidence suggests that probiotics may enhance immune responses when co-administered with influenza vaccination. However, few studies have evaluated the potential benefit of probiotic supplementation in this context in this high-risk population. This study was a randomized controlled trial recruiting adults between 65 and 89 y of age living in Quebec, Canada, who received an mRNA booster (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna). Probiotic supplementation (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Rosell\u00ae-11 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Rosell\u00ae-215, 1x 6 x 109CFU per capsule) versus placebo was administered from 15 d pre- to 15 d post-vaccination. Participants provided dried blood spot samples at baseline, at 3- and 6-month post-vaccination. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants without detectable anti-S1-receptor binding domain (anti-S1-RBD) antibodies at 6 months post-vaccination. Secondary outcomes included longitudinal anti-S1-RBD and anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) antibody responses across the three timepoints. 592 adults were enrolled. At 6 months post-vaccination, anti-S1-RBD antibodies were comparable between groups, and the percentage of participants with undetectable antibody response in the placebo and probiotic groups (1.2% vs 1.6%) was comparable. Anti-N seropositivity was lower in the probiotic group at 6 months (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4-0.9; p\u2009=\u20090.02) and marginally lower at 3 months after adjustment. Self-reported COVID-19 infection incidence was 16.5% overall (19.1% placebo vs 13.9% probiotic; p\u2009=\u20090.134). Probiotic supplementation administered around COVID-19 vaccination did not change the proportion of seronegative participants for anti-S1-RBD antibodies at 6 months. However, in the probiotic group, anti-N antibody levels were lower, while self-reported COVID-19 infections also tended to be reduced, although this difference was not statistically significant. They may be consistent with earlier control of infection and reduced exposure to the nucleocapsid antigen, but this interpretation remains speculative. #NCT05195151."

While \"naked\" RNA delivery could in principle solve these issues, studies have suggested that it is infeasible due to rapid degradation by RNases and poor cellular entry, thereby necessitating formulations that enhance intracellular delivery and RNA stability. Now, we challenge this paradigm by showing that a simple and inexpensive (<$1), lighter-derived electroporator with microneedle electrodes (Piezopen) can augment gene expression and immunogenicity to naked mRNA leading to comparable responses to LNPs at low doses. We achieve robust responses in the absence of systemic inflammation and reactogenicity using skin-targeted delivery, administer diverse construct types (i.e., mRNA, self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), circular RNA (circRNA)), and demonstrate cross-species validation in live human skin to derisk subsequent clinical application. Our results introduce Piezopen as an inexpensive, well-tolerated, and efficacious alternative to LNPs for mRNA vaccine delivery, designed to facilitate routine vaccinations and pandemic response."

A prospective pilot MRI study using T1 relaxometry.\nAbstract: Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based vaccines delivered via lipid nanoparticles (LNP) were pivotal in managing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. While mild systemic reactions are common after vaccination, rare neurological complications have raised concerns about potential structural cerebral changes. This prospective pilot study tested the hypothesis that LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination does not induce significant microstructural cerebral changes in healthy adults. Dedicated 3 Tesla brain MRI was performed at three time points: up to one month before the first vaccination (t1), and 1-2 weeks (t2) and 2-3 months (t3) after the second dose of either BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273. Across 85 MRI scans from 29 initially SARS-CoV-2-seronegative adults, 2D T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, synthetic\u00a03D T1 magnetization prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echoes and 3D quantitative T1 mapping were analyzed. Changes in w matter hyperintensities (WMH) were evaluated visually (Prins scale) and semiquantitatively (Longitudinal Brain Imaging). Microstructural changes of deep and cortical gray matter and white matter were analyzed using qT1 values via paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. No new or progressive WMH nor significant intraindividual qT1 changes were observed. QT1% deviations were small (mean 0.1%, SD 0.9%; maximum 2.08%) and remained within established scan-rescan variability limits at 3 T. Apart from a 1\u00a0mm decrease of a preexisting WMH in one participant, no visually detectable structural brain alterations were observed. Our findings provide no evidence for WMH progression or microstructural cerebral changes after LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in healthy adults in the subacute phase."

August, 2026 PathMap\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis review synthesizes current evidence regarding mRNA-based influenza vaccine platforms. The claim is evaluated as plausible, supported by the ongoing shift toward modular, rapid-response mRNA technologies capable of eliciting robust humoral and cellular immunity, while acknowledging concurrent challenges such as antigenic mismatch and variable clinical performance in older populations.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nMessenger RNA (mRNA) platforms represent a transformative development in vaccine science, offering unparalleled speed and adaptability compared to traditional egg-based or cell-culture influenza vaccines. As demonstrated by recent studies, mRNA-1010 and similar candidates have shown immunogenicity comparable to currently licensed enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) in populations aged 65 and older. The mechanism of protection typically involves the induction of potent Th1/Tfh1-biased responses, high-affinity neutralizing antibodies, and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, the modular nature of mRNA allows for rapid adaptation to emerging variants, providing a scalable solution to the persistent challenge of antigenic drift. While clinical performance can be influenced by host factors like immunosenescence and prior exposure, current evidence indicates that mRNA technologies remain a critical frontier for minimizing morbidity in high-risk cohorts.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA vaccines for influenza demonstrate clinical efficacy profiles that are statistically comparable to current licensed enhanced vaccines (EVs) in geriatric populations.\n* The use of non-canonical delivery systems, such as piezoelectric electroporation (Piezopen), shows potential for \"naked\" mRNA delivery, potentially bypassing inflammatory lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carriers.\n* There is no evidence of significant structural cerebral changes following mRNA vaccination, contradicting concerns regarding microstructural brain alterations in the subacute phase.\n* Antigenic mismatch continues to be a primary driver of variable effectiveness, necessitating the transition to recombinant protein and mRNA platforms.\n* Sequential vaccination of COVID-19 and influenza antigens does not appear to compromise the individual immunogenicity of either vaccine in immunocompromised populations.\n* Adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines have shown comparable protection against medically attended influenza in real-world cohorts.\n* The persistence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in skin lesions post-vaccination remains an area for continued clinical investigation regarding vasculitic manifestations.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Particularly the expression of type I hypersensitivity associated with cytokine interleukin (IL) 13 has been shown to be of significance in both, appendicitis and influenza infection. The aim of the current study was to analyze possible associations of respective gene expressions at the level of mathematical correlations. We analyzed messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expressions of IAV-associated markers, hypersensitivity type I-related cytokines and inflammatory markers IL-17A and c-reactive protein (CRP) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 29 children aged 7-17 years, who were operated for histologically confirmed appendicitis at Charit\u00e9-Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin between April and August 2019. Statistical relationships between gene expressions were investigated using Spearman's correlation analysis, with a correlation coefficient r \u2265 0.5 or r \u2264 -\u00a00.5 representing high, and r \u2265 0.7 or r \u2264 - 0.7 very high correlations. Statistical significance was assumed at P < 0.01. A total of 29 patients were involved in this study. Particularly the expression of IL-13 showed highly significant negative correlations with that of IAV-specific antiviral response genes, ranging from -\u00a00.89 (P < 0.0001) to -\u00a00.49 (P = 0.006). A strong inflammatory background was demonstrated by very high correlations of IL-13 with CRP (r = 0.91, P < 0.0001) and IL-17A (r = 0.82, P < 0.0001). These findings suggest a connection between IAV infection and acute appendicitis in children, implicating sequential immune responses, including hypersensitivity type I mechanisms, in appendicitis pathophysiology.\n\nID: 42555510\nTitle: Heterologous prime-boost vaccination against H5 avian influenza: Safety and immunogenicity of a MF59-adjuvanted, cell-culture derived H5N6 vaccine.\nAbstract: With increasing H5 avian influenza cases reported globally and the potential for pandemic emergence, induction of cross-reactive antibody responses may represent an important attribute of an effective vaccine. This phase 2 extension study evaluated immunogenicity and safety of MF59-adjuvanted, cell culture-derived H5N6 vaccine (aH5N6c) in adults primed with MF59-adjuvanted, cell culture-derived H5N1 vaccine (aH5N1c) and in unprimed adults. Adults previously primed with two doses of aH5N1c in the parent study V89_18 were randomized to receive two aH5N6c doses (Group 1) or one aH5N6c and one placebo (Group 2) 3\u2009weeks apart. Unprimed adults received two aH5N6c doses (Group 3). Immunogenicity was assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and microneutralization (MN) assays against the priming (H5N1) and booster (H5N6) strains on Days 1, 8, 22, 43, and 202. Among 258 exposed participants, primed subjects (Groups 1 and 2) showed higher HI geometric mean titers against both strains than unprimed (Group 3) subjects, with MN responses similarly enhanced. Heterologous H5N1 responses were robust in primed subjects (Day 43 HI GMTs: 333-343; seroconversion rates >89%) but minimal in unprimed subjects, with responses persisting to Day 202. Solicited adverse events were mild or moderate, comparable between groups, and consistent with other MF59-adjuvanted pandemic vaccines; no vaccine-related serious adverse events occurred. Heterologous H5N6 booster vaccination in H5N1-primed adults elicited strong cross-reactive immunity against the priming strain, demonstrating long-lasting immune memory for at least 6 y and supporting heterologous prime-boost strategies for pandemic preparedness against emerging H5 outbreaks.\n\nID: 42554662\nTitle: Vaccines, Bias, and the Perils of Non-peer-reviewed Studies: Fueling Misinformation and Vaccine Hesitancy.\nAbstract: Unvetted scientific claims about vaccines can spread rapidly and undermine decades of progress in immunization and public trust. A recent non-peer-reviewed analysis, promoted at political hearings, in the documentary \"An Inconvenient Study,\" and on social media, has been used to suggest that vaccinated children experience higher rates of chronic illness than unvaccinated peers. Despite standard regression models, critical flaws - uncontrolled confounding, exposure misclassification, unequal follow-up, and outcome multiplicity, invalidate causal inference. An independent group of international experts critically appraises this analysis and contrast its claims with the consistent evidence confirming vaccine safety and effectiveness. We also show how poorly designed studies can distort public discourse, amplify misinformation, and fuel vaccine hesitancy. We outline actions to strengthen research integrity, such as transparent data sharing, labeling of non-peer-reviewed content, and evidence-based communication. Safeguarding public health demands that vaccine evidence be methodologically sound, reviewed, and interpreted by qualified experts.\n\nID: 42550058\nTitle: Indirect comparison of mRNA-1010 versus enhanced influenza vaccines in adults aged 65 years and older during the 2024-2025\u2009US influenza season.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza continues to cause severe disease among older adults in the United States despite enhanced vaccine recommendations, driven by immunosenescence and vaccine mismatch with circulating influenza viruses. mRNA-based influenza vaccines (mRNA-1010), addressing some of these challenges, have been developed for this population. A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended.\n\nID: 42548738\nTitle: Comparison of the protective effect of human respiratory syncytial virus Pre-F protein combined with different adjuvants in BALB/c mice.\nAbstract: Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) has a high disease burden in infants and elderly individuals. In this study, the adjuvants AlOH, AlOH+CpG and BFA03 were used to compare the protective effect of HRSV prefusion protein (Pre-F) in BALB/c mice. We divided BALB/c mice into three experimental groups (Pre-F+AlOH+CpG, Pre-F+AlOH, and Pre-F+BFA03) and three adjuvant control groups (AlOH+CpG, AlOH, and BFA03). After two intramuscular immunizations, we measured serum neutralizing antibody titers and quantified the numbers of IFN-\u03b3- and IL-4-secreting lymphocytes. After viral challenge, we monitored body weight changes, determined lung viral loads (Ct values), and scored lung pathological damage. The mice in the experimental groups exhibited high titres of neutralizing antibodies and increased numbers of IFN-\u03b3- and IL-4-secreting lymphocytes. The mice began to regain weight on the third day after challenge, but the mice in the adjuvant groups continued to lose weight. The mice immunized with Pre-F+BFA03 elicited the highest neutralizing antibody titre (1716), the lowest viral load in the lung, and milder pathological damage. The mice immunized with Pre-F+AlOH had the most severe lung pathological injury (score: 2.83) and the highest viral load in the lung (Ct value: 32.2). Compared with the BFA03 adjuvant, the AlOH adjuvant induced a Th2-biased humoral immune response in mice. The Pre-F+AlOH+CpG group had the least pathological damage in the lung (score 2.16), and the ability to induce neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune responses was comparable with that of the BFA03 adjuvant. These findings indicate that Pre-F protein combined with AlOH+CpG or BFA03 adjuvant provided similar protection in mice and both were superior to the AlOH adjuvant, providing a reference for adjuvant selection and formulation strategies in HRSV Pre-F protein vaccine development.\n\nID: 42548716\nTitle: Tea saponin-soybean oil submicron emulsion promotes durable protective immunity against Pasteurella multocida.\nAbstract: Inactivated Pasteurella multocida (Pm) vaccines are safe and practical for veterinary use, but their protection is often limited by weak cellular immune activation and insufficient durability of antibody responses. This study investigated whether a tea saponin-soybean oil submicron emulsion could improve the durability, breadth and protective efficacy of immune responses induced by an inactivated P. multocida vaccine. Inactivated P. multocida antigen was formulated with tea saponin and soybean oil to generate TS-Pm. The formulation was characterized by particle size, polydispersity, surface charge, morphology and storage stability. Macrophage antigen uptake, cytokine secretion and activation-associated surface markers were examined in vitro. In mice, we evaluated antibody persistence, B-cell differentiation, splenic cellular immunity, pulmonary CD11b+ myeloid phenotypes, systemic tolerability, protection after lethal challenge and draining lymph-node proteomic profiles. TS-Pm formed a stable oil-in-water submicron emulsion of approximately 300 nm with low polydispersity, negative surface charge and preserved morphology after 6 months at 4\u00a0\u00b0C. In RAW264.7 macrophages, TS-Pm increased antigen uptake, pro-inflammatory cytokine production and CD80, CD86 and MHC-II expression. Compared with alum-adjuvanted vaccine, TS-Pm maintained higher Pm-specific IgG responses, increased both IgG1 and IgG2a, and promoted plasmablast, plasma cell and germinal-center-associated B-cell responses. TS-Pm also enhanced antigen-responsive splenic proliferation, cytokine-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets, and activation-associated phenotypes in pulmonary CD11b+ myeloid cells. After lethal challenge, TS-Pm improved survival to 90%, compared with 60% for Alum-Pm, and reduced pulmonary bacterial burden and lung pathology without evidence of aggravated systemic injury. Draining lymph-node proteomics showed changes associated with antigen processing and presentation, NF-\u03baB-related signaling and immune-cell trafficking. Tea saponin-soybean oil submicron emulsion improved the durability, breadth and protective efficacy of immune responses induced by an inactivated P. multocida vaccine. These findings identify TS-Pm as a practical plant-derived adjuvant formulation for inactivated bacterial vaccines requiring sustained humoral and cellular immunity.\n\nID: 42546301\nTitle: In older adults, mRNA-1010 vs. a licensed standard-dose influenza vaccine reduced influenza A- or B-related ILI at a median 181 d.\nAbstract: GIM/FP/GP: [Formula: see text] Infectious Disease: [Formula: see text] Public Health: [Formula: see text].\n\nID: 42534944\nTitle: KA101 outperforms other clinical adjuvants in inducing balanced Th1/Th2 immunity and robust B cell responses to varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E.\nAbstract: Reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes herpes zoster, which can further progress to persistent postherpetic neuralgia in a subset of patients. Rational adjuvant selection is critical for the development of recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) subunit vaccines. In this study, we systematically evaluated the immunomodulatory properties of six adjuvants formulated with recombinant VZV gE in a mouse model. Multi-dimensional analyses, including innate and adaptive immunity, transcriptomics, and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire profiling, revealed that distinct adjuvants shape adaptive immune responses through divergent innate immune activation patterns. Traditional aluminum hydroxide and MF59 mainly induced Th2-biased humoral immunity but showed limited cellular immune activation. As TLR agonists, Poly(I:C) displayed a Th2-skewed profile with partial Th1 tendencies and exhibited oligoclonal B-cell expansion, whereas CpG 1018 potently promoted Th1 polarization and cytotoxic T-cell responses. Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations drove chemokine-dependent inflammatory recruitment and facilitated dendritic cell maturation and humoral immune programming. Notably, KA101, a liposomal adjuvant containing MPL and QS-21, exhibited unique synergistic effects by inducing early IFN-\u03b3 production and simultaneously eliciting robust cellular immunity and high-titer neutralizing antibodies. Moreover, KA101 enhanced germinal center reactions, diversified the B-cell repertoire, and supported the establishment of long-term immune memory. Collectively, these findings provide mechanistic insights into adjuvant-antigen interactions and establish a rational framework for developing next-generation herpes zoster subunit vaccines with potent cellular and humoral immunogenicity and durable immune memory.\n\nID: 42534843\nTitle: Licensed and investigational TLR4 agonists as vaccine adjuvants: structural basis, clinical progress, and future directions.\nAbstract: The development of innovative vaccine platforms, including protein subunit and nucleic acid vaccines, has advanced rapidly and established new technical paradigms for infectious disease prophylaxis. Nonetheless, many next-generation vaccines display suboptimal intrinsic immunogenicity owing to restricted antigenic complexity, resulting in inadequate protective immunity when delivered without adjuvants. Aluminum-containing adjuvants, the most widely deployed clinical adjuvants, primarily potentiate humoral immunity but elicit modest cellular immune responses, thereby failing to satisfy the immunological demands of modern vaccine platforms. Moreover, standard vaccines often fail to confer robust protective immunity in immunocompromised individuals. Accordingly, the rational design and development of next-generation vaccine adjuvants are critical to expanding the clinical translation of innovative vaccines and enhancing immunogenicity in vulnerable populations. In recent years, multiple novel adjuvants have gained clinical approval; of these, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonists-core immunostimulatory components of several licensed adjuvant systems-have exhibited potent immunomodulatory activity across diverse infectious disease indications. This review offers a comprehensive synthesis of contemporary TLR4-targeted adjuvants, emphasizing their evolutionary development, molecular mechanisms of action, and clinical translational landscape. We aim to furnish mechanistic insights and translational guidance for scientists optimizing current adjuvants and discovering new TLR4-based candidates.\n\nID: 42534800\nTitle: Bacillus Calmette-Gu\u00e9rin as adjuvant platform enhances immunogenicity of conserved epitopes from structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2.\nAbstract: The development of effective and broadly protective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 remains a global priority. Conserved epitopes from viral structural proteins (E, M, N, and S) represent promising targets less affected by emerging mutations, while Bacillus Calmette-Gu\u00e9rin (BCG) offers unique adjuvant and delivery properties. This study aimed to validate conserved SARS-CoV-2 epitopes in combination with BCG and to design multiepitope vaccine constructs in silico. Dot blot assays confirmed recognition of five synthetic peptides by sera from convalescent patients. In vitro, BCG-peptide formulations activated the MAPK pathway and induced trained immunity signatures in macrophages. In vivo, immunized mice showed modulation of IgG subclasses and increased IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IFN-\u03b3 production. Splenocytes from vaccinated animals secreted high cytokine levels upon restimulation, suggesting memory responses. In silico modeling indicated stable, antigenic, and non-allergenic multiepitope constructs with favorable immune simulations. Together, these findings highlight BCG-epitope formulations as promising next-generation vaccine candidates against SARS-CoV-2.\n\nID: 42532224\nTitle: Pre-existing and cross-reactive immunity to avian influenza H5N1 in humans: Implications for pandemic risk and vaccine strategies.\nAbstract: Due to the continuous evolution of Influenza A viruses (IAVs), novel strains with efficient human-to-human transmission may emerge and cause future pandemics. Among these, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 remains a major concern because of its impact on wildlife, livestock, and human health. The widespread circulation of H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, detected in hundreds of bird species and numerous mammals worldwide, highlights important changes in viral ecology and transmission, increasing its zoonotic and pandemic potential. This review summarizes current evidence on cross-reactive and cross-protective immunity to H5N1 in humans, focusing primarily on humoral immune responses. We examine the presence of pre-existing H5N1-reactive antibodies in individuals without known exposure and discuss how previous seasonal influenza infection or vaccination may contribute to their development. Particular attention is given to antibodies targeting conserved regions of hemagglutinin (HA), especially the stalk domain, as well as neuraminidase (NA), which may provide heterosubtypic protection. We also evaluate the ability of seasonal influenza vaccines and infections to induce cross-reactive responses against H5N1 and their potential role in partial protection or immune priming. Finally, we review current and emerging H5N1 vaccination strategies, including adjuvanted and mRNA-based platforms, and identify priorities for surveillance, population immunity assessment, and the development of broadly protective influenza vaccines.\n\nID: 42531981\nTitle: Immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of an mRNA-based seasonal influenza and SARS-CoV-2 multicomponent vaccine, mRNA-1083, in adults aged \u226550\u00a0years in Japan.\nAbstract: A multicomponent vaccine targeting seasonal influenza and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may reduce disease burden by providing simultaneous protection in a single injection. We report findings from Part 1 (Japan) of a phase 3, Asia-Pacific, randomized, observer-blind study evaluating immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of mRNA-based multicomponent vaccine mRNA-1083, combining influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigens. Participants aged \u226550\u00a0years were randomized (1:1) to receive mRNA-1083\u00a0+\u00a0placebo or Japan-licensed influenza hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine + mRNA-1273. Overall, 2022 participants were randomized, and 2013 received study intervention. At Day 29, mRNA-1083 elicited noninferior immune responses versus active comparators for all evaluated influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. Among high-risk participants (aged \u226565\u00a0years and 60 to <65\u00a0years with \u22651 comorbidity), noninferiority of mRNA-1083 was demonstrated for comparator-matched influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. In the overall study population, mRNA-1083 demonstrated superiority for the comparator-matched influenza strains and for SARS-CoV-2. At Day 181, immune responses remained above baseline and were comparable to or numerically higher than those elicited by active comparators. Most solicited adverse reactions were grade 1 or 2. There were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis, and no reported serious adverse events or deaths related to study intervention. Overall, mRNA-1083 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile, eliciting noninferior and superior immune responses against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in the high-risk and overall study population, respectively. Immune responses were maintained through 6\u00a0months post-vaccination. These findings support mRNA-1083 as a single-dose approach to seasonal vaccination against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in adults \u226550\u00a0years.

Here, we developed a capless samRNA (CLsamRNA) vaccine platform derived from a Coxsackievirus B5 replicon that uses IRES-mediated cap-independent translation. Systematic optimization of key genetic elements enhanced antigen expression from the CLsamRNA backbone. Using reporter RNAs, LNP-formulated CLsamRNA showed rapid early expression and RNA amplification, with expression kinetics distinct from VEEV-based saRNA and nucleoside-modified mRNA comparators. When encoding the hemagglutinin antigen of highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses, CLsamRNA induced potent immune responses after LNP formulation. In mouse models, CLsamRNA induced potent neutralizing antibody responses, cross-reactive activity against clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus, Th1-skewed humoral immunity, and strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses. CLsamRNA also elicited platform-specific early inflammatory and lymph-node immune gene signatures associated with antigen presentation, costimulation, and cellular immune priming. Notably, a minimal 0.01 \u03bcg dose of CLsamRNA conferred complete protection against lethal H5N8 influenza virus challenge in BALB/c mice. These findings support CLsamRNA as a distinct cap-independent RNA vaccine platform with dose-sparing protective efficacy against HPAI H5 viruses.\n\nID: 42524760\nTitle: Impact of ABO Blood System on Immunogenicity and Vaccine Efficacy of COVID-19 Booster Vaccination-A Population-Based Study of 3066 Individuals.\nAbstract: ABO blood group has been associated with SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility. Little data exist regarding the impact of ABO and Rhesus (Rh[D]) type on breakthrough infections and antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination. This multicenter, population-based cohort study includes individuals \u2265\u200918\u2009years who received a booster vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) and neutralizing antibodies against wild-type (WT) virus and Omicron variant were assessed at baseline, after 4\u2009weeks and after 6 months. At 6\u2009months follow-up, self-reported ABO and Rh(D) type, time to, and severity of breakthrough infections were collected. In total, 3066 participants (mean age 49 [35-59], 62% female) were included in multivariable regression models, showing no association of anti-RBD and neutralizing antibodies against wild-type and Omicron variant with ABO or Rh(D) 4\u2009weeks after booster vaccination. Time-dependent Cox regression analysis showed significantly lower rates of breakthrough infections in patients with AB (hazard ratio [HR] 0.67 [0.50-0.90]; p\u2009=\u20090.008) compared to O, even after adjustment for relevant covariates and a trend for blood group B (HR 0.82 [0.66-1.01]; p\u2009=\u20090.06) compared to O; there were no associations between Rh(D) and breakthrough infection rates or between observed (asymptomatic to moderate) COVID-19 symptom severity and ABO or Rh(D) blood group. ABO or Rh(D) blood group was not associated with COVID-19 severity or antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Breakthrough infections were least common in blood groups AB and B. Although our data do not support previously discussed protective effects of anti-A/B/Rh(D) agglutinins, differences in ABO group appear relevant for Omicron transmission.\n\nID: 42522246\nTitle: The Role of CD4 T Cell Repertoire and Immune Memory Mechanisms in Vaccination and Infection Immunity.\nAbstract: CD4+ T cells orchestrate adaptive immunity against respiratory viruses through functionally distinct subsets, yet the qualitative differences between vaccine- and infection-induced responses remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection.\n\nID: 42520645\nTitle: The Platform trial In COVID-19 priming and BOOsting (PICOBOO): The immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of seven licensed COVID-19 vaccines delivered as fifth dose or subsequent boosters in immunocompetent adults.\nAbstract: PICOBOO is a randomised, adaptive trial evaluating the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of licensed COVID-19 booster vaccines in immunocompetent individuals >12\u00a0years old. Here, we present data for seven different vaccines among three pre-specified participant strata defined by age and primary vaccine schedule: those primed with AZD1222 and aged 50 -\u00a0<\u00a070 or 70+ years old and those primed with BNT162b2 aged 50-\u00a0<\u00a070\u00a0years old until day (D) 365. People who had not received a booster vaccine in the three months prior were eligible. Participants were recruited from January to November 2023 (T1) and from January to September 2024 (T2). Participants recruited during T1 were randomised to receive one of five COVID-19 booster vaccines. Participants recruited during T2 were randomised to receive one of two monovalent XBB.1.5 booster vaccines. Anti-spike Immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses were evaluated in all participants. Anti-spike total Ig was evaluated in participants recruited during T1. Neutralisation responses were evaluated in a pre-defined subset. There were 276 and 260 participants recruited in T1 and T2, respectively. All vaccines boosted humoral immune responses. Immunological responses measures at D28, 180 and 365 found peak total immunoglobulin (Ig), IgG and virus neutralisation (ND50) responses at D28. Responses returned to near-baseline levels by D365. Participants in the 50-\u00a0<\u00a070y-BNT162b2 stratum had higher total Ig, IgG and ND50 compared to those in the strata primed with AZD1222. The proportion who reported at least one severe event following Nvx, Pf BA.1, Mod BA.1, Pf BA.4/5, Mod BA.4/5, Pf XBB.1.5 and Mod XBB.1.5 were 1.1%, 2.9%, 6.7%, 0%, 5.9%, 2.9% and 5.4%, respectively. All vaccines boosted humoral immunity and had acceptable reactogenicity profiles. Higher binding and neutralising antibody responses were observed in people primed with BNT162b2.\n\nID: 42520140\nTitle: Effect of probiotics on humoral responses to COVID-19 vaccination in older adults: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial (PIRATES-COV study).\nAbstract: Although COVID-19 vaccination has reduced morbidity and mortality, adults aged 65 y old and older are at high risk of complications from COVID-19. The evidence suggests that probiotics may enhance immune responses when co-administered with influenza vaccination. However, few studies have evaluated the potential benefit of probiotic supplementation in this context in this high-risk population. This study was a randomized controlled trial recruiting adults between 65 and 89 y of age living in Quebec, Canada, who received an mRNA booster (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna). Probiotic supplementation (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Rosell\u00ae-11 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Rosell\u00ae-215, 1x 6 x 109CFU per capsule) versus placebo was administered from 15 d pre- to 15 d post-vaccination. Participants provided dried blood spot samples at baseline, at 3- and 6-month post-vaccination. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants without detectable anti-S1-receptor binding domain (anti-S1-RBD) antibodies at 6 months post-vaccination. Secondary outcomes included longitudinal anti-S1-RBD and anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) antibody responses across the three timepoints. 592 adults were enrolled. At 6 months post-vaccination, anti-S1-RBD antibodies were comparable between groups, and the percentage of participants with undetectable antibody response in the placebo and probiotic groups (1.2% vs 1.6%) was comparable. Anti-N seropositivity was lower in the probiotic group at 6 months (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4-0.9; p\u2009=\u20090.02) and marginally lower at 3 months after adjustment. Self-reported COVID-19 infection incidence was 16.5% overall (19.1% placebo vs 13.9% probiotic; p\u2009=\u20090.134). Probiotic supplementation administered around COVID-19 vaccination did not change the proportion of seronegative participants for anti-S1-RBD antibodies at 6 months. However, in the probiotic group, anti-N antibody levels were lower, while self-reported COVID-19 infections also tended to be reduced, although this difference was not statistically significant. They may be consistent with earlier control of infection and reduced exposure to the nucleocapsid antigen, but this interpretation remains speculative. #NCT05195151.\n\nID: 42515093\nTitle: Hiding in Plain Sight: HIV-1 Membraneless Organelles as Nuclear Hubs-Host Hijacking, Replication, Immune Evasion, and Drug-Access Implications.\nAbstract: Theories on the early steps of the HIV-1 life cycle have been radically revised over the past five years. The long-held assumption that the capsid fully disassembles in the cytoplasm has given way to a more nuanced view: Cytoplasmic disassembly does occur and, in several myeloid systems, is increasingly linked to cytosolic cDNA sensing and to abortive infection. However, a substantial fraction of intact or nearly intact capsid cores instead traverse the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and, upon interacting with the host factor CPSF6, induce liquid-liquid phase separation. This leads to the formation of biomolecular condensates, termed HIV-1 membraneless organelles (HIV-1-MLOs), which subsequently merge with nuclear speckles (NSs). In this Perspective we read these condensates along five interlocking axes. First, the virus drives the host phase separation of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (CPSF6), which quickly fuses with another MLO: the NS composed of the speckle scaffold factors, SON and SRRM2. Second, the resulting condensate behaves as a catalytic site that concentrates the reverse-transcription machinery and thereby promotes integration of the viral DNA into speckle-associated chromatin (SPADs). Third, the same compartment is the final layer of a stratified programme of innate immune evasion, shielding nascent double-stranded DNA from cGAS-STING after cytoplasmic restriction factors and sensors have been outmanoeuvred. Fourth, although demonstrated only in vitro, stable HIV-1-MLOs can maintain the viral RNA genome in the presence of a reverse-transcription inhibitor. Upon removal of the inhibitor, reverse transcription resumes, mirroring, to some extent, the situation in individuals undergoing interruption of antiretroviral therapy and suggesting that these structures may act as a pre-integration reservoir. Fifth, and still largely unexplored, the sanctuary has a pharmacological dimension: anatomical lymphoid compartments, and possibly the condensate itself through selective small-molecule partitioning, may limit antiretroviral drug access. We situate HIV-1-MLOs within the convergent condensate strategies of SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses, and we discuss the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and vaccine implications, including capsid inhibitors as \"block-and-expose\" tools.\n\nID: 42513179\nTitle: Nanoparticle Engineering in Modern Vaccinology: From Delivery Platforms to Immune-Programming Architectures.\nAbstract: Recent advances in vaccinology have accelerated the shift from conventional live-attenuated and inactivated vaccines toward subunit and nucleic acid-based platforms. Although these next-generation vaccines offer improved safety, rapid adaptability, and manufacturing flexibility, their relatively low intrinsic immunogenicity often requires efficient adjuvants and delivery systems. Nanoparticle-based vaccine platforms have therefore emerged as versatile tools capable of protecting antigens, improving targeted delivery, and modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. This review summarizes the major classes of nanovaccine platforms, including lipid and polymeric nanoparticles, self-assembling protein nanostructures such as virus-like particles and ferritin nanocages, saponin-based self-assembling complexes, and inorganic nanomaterials. Particular attention is given to how vaccine performance is determined not only by material composition but also by nanoparticle physicochemical properties, biodistribution, cellular uptake, and mechanisms of immune activation. We further discuss the major challenges limiting clinical translation, including scalable manufacturing, safety evaluation, quality control, regulatory requirements, and long-term biocompatibility. Finally, emerging strategies involving hybrid and personalized nanovaccine platforms are highlighted, illustrating how nanotechnology and immunoengineering are transforming vaccine development for both prophylactic and therapeutic applications.\n\nID: 42507727\nTitle: Exploring the mechanism of Shuangyu Granule in regulating immune-inflammatory responses in influenza through UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS, GC-MS, and network target analysis.\nAbstract: Influenza, an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the influenza virus, remains a significant challenge for prevention and treatment due to rapid viral mutation and high pathogenicity. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including Shuangyu Granule (SYKL), has demonstrated efficacy in managing influenza. This study aimed to systematically identify the chemical components of SYKL in vitro and its absorbed constituents in vivo, and to preliminarily explore its potential mechanism in regulating influenza-related immune inflammation. UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS and GC-MS were used to characterize SYKL's chemical profile, identifying 148 in vitro components and 21 prototype absorbed blood components. Network target analysis, integrated with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from influenza patients, predicted that the absorbed components may target multiple immune-inflammatory regulatory genes across various immune cell types. Molecular docking suggested favorable predicted binding potential between these components and target proteins. Experimental validation using poly(I:C)-induced inflammatory models in both RAW264.7 macrophages and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) showed that the absorbed components-loganic acid, 8-epiloganic acid, calycosin, atractylodin, eucalyptol, secoxyloganin, and paeoniflorin-significantly reduced mRNA expression of immune-inflammatory genes (DUSP6, MAPKAPK2, NOD2) and inhibited secretion of TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IL-8, and NO. These findings suggest that SYKL may alleviate influenza-associated inflammation through multi-component, multi-cell, and multi-target pathways, highlighting its potential in modulating excessive immune responses in influenza.\n\nID: 42505558\nTitle: From Pandemic Innovation to Platform Diversification: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Preclinical Development of Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccines.\nAbstract: Background: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as a versatile platform beyond SARS-CoV-2, with expanding applications in infectious diseases and oncology. However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation.\n\nID: 42502642\nTitle: Exploration of the Potential Mechanisms of Yinqiao Powder in Treating Atopic Dermatitis: Integrating Network Pharmacology, Single-Cell, and Bulk RNA Sequencing.\nAbstract: Yinqiao powder (YQP) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula that has been widely used clinically to treat infectious diseases such as respiratory tract infections, influenza, and pneumonia, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. This study aimed to investigate its therapeutic potential for atopic dermatitis (AD) and to identify its key target genes and active components. We performed mRNA transcriptome sequencing on blood samples collected from 15 adult patients with AD and 15 adult healthy controls. Potential targets were identified by intersecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with known YQP target genes. Key genes were pinpointed using protein-protein interaction networks and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. We estimated immune cell proportions, constructed regulatory networks, and used molecular docking to predict active ingredients. Single-cell RNA sequencing data (GSE180885) was also analyzed to identify key cell types and track gene expression. Fifty-two potential target genes were identified. From these, four key genes-CTNNB1, ERBB2, TP53, and HIF1A-were highlighted, potentially involved in carbon metabolism and organelle biosynthesis. A nomogram model based on these genes showed strong predictive power for AD. Immune analysis linked resting CD4+ memory T cells with TP53 and HIF1A. Molecular docking suggested beta-carotene, aloe-emodin, and quercetin as potential active ingredients binding to these key targets. Single-cell analysis identified keratinocytes as a key population, with key gene expression varying during their differentiation. This study indicates that CTNNB1, ERBB2, TP53, and HIF1A are key targets of YQP in AD treatment, with beta-carotene, aloe-emodin, and quercetin as likely active components. These findings provide a theoretical basis for using YQP in AD therapy.\n\nID: 42495631\nTitle: CircZFYVE1 functions as a competitive endogenous RNA to enhance LSM14A-mediated antiviral defense against influenza A virus.\nAbstract: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post transcriptional level and have been implicated in antiviral immunity. However, their functional roles and regulatory mechanisms during influenza A virus (IAV) infection remain incompletely defined. circZFYVE1 expression was profiled in A549 cells infected with the WSN strain of IAV using RT qPCR under time course and dose response conditions. The mechanistic function of circZFYVE1 was investigated through miRNA target prediction, luciferase reporter assays, and functional assays assessing its role as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and its impact on innate antiviral signaling. circZFYVE1 expression was induced in a time and dose dependent manner following WSN infection. Mechanistically, circZFYVE1 acts as a ceRNA by sponging hsa miR 4435, thereby relieving miRNA mediated suppression of the processing body associated protein LSM14A and enhancing innate antiviral signaling during infection. These findings define a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory axis that links IAV infection to innate antiviral responses, providing new insights into circRNA mediated host defenses. The circZFYVE1/LSM14A pathway represents a potential target for future studies aimed at modulating endogenous antiviral immunity.\n\nID: 42489960\nTitle: Effective inactivated lumpy skin disease vaccine for cattle using a field viral strain and Montanide 206.\nAbstract: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) causes significant economic losses to cattle industries. In Mongolia, LSD outbreaks were first reported in 2021, with a few additional cases later that year. The situation has since alleviated due to effective control measures, including the use of live-attenuated vaccines. However, unlike the inactivated vaccine, live-attenuated vaccines carry risks, including genetic recombination and vaccine-associated clinical symptoms and outbreaks. Our research group previously isolated a field strain of LSDV, designated DO-21, from the first outbreak in Mongolia in 2021. Using this laboratory-adapted strain, we developed an inactivated vaccine by treating it with binary ethylenimine and formulating it with Montanide ISA 206, a water-in-oil-water adjuvant. Safety was confirmed in mice and cattle using administrations of 3- and 7-fold higher doses of the inactivated vaccine, respectively. In the challenge experiments, all rabbits and cattle were fully protected by day 14 post-booster vaccination following a severe homologous challenge with same field strain (DO-21) without any clinical signs. On the same day, all five vaccinated rabbits showed seroconversion, while all five immunised calves exhibited seroconversion and neutralising antibodies, with interferon-gamma release detected in their blood samples following viral exposure. In addition, seroconversion persisted in all three vaccinated rabbits for at least 120 days post-prime vaccination, while both seroconversion and neutralising antibodies were maintained in approximately 90% cattle for 120 days post-prime vaccination. In conclusion, inactivated vaccines are alternatives to live-attenuated vaccines, particularly in countries with sporadic cases of LSD or in non-endemic countries bordering endemic regions.\n\nID: 42485991\nTitle: Integrated in silico and in vitro approaches reveal novel coumarin hybrids targeting influenza A virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) remains a significant public health threat due to its high mutation rate and increasing resistance to existing antiviral drugs. The viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is essential for viral replication and represents a promising target for new therapeutics. We screened our in-house chemical library of 103 compounds against two domains of the IAV RdRp complex using molecular docking. Based on computational findings, we selected eleven coumarin-phenolic acid hybrids and one thiazolidinone compounds for in vitro evaluation against H1N1 and H5N1. LMed 93 and LMed 99 exhibited potent antiviral activity, with EC50 values of 5.66 and 1.21\u202f\u03bcM against H1N1 respectively, and high selectivity indices. Mechanistic studies showed that LMed 99 acts throughout early to late stages of infection, while LMed 93 impacts early and intermediate stages. Both compounds significantly inhibited viral RNA synthesis, with LMed 99 achieving 82% inhibition at 1- and 3-h post-infection (hpi) and 80% at 6 hpi, and LMed 93 achieving 82% (1 hpi), 78% (3 hpi), and 60% (6 hpi). LMed 99 reduced viral proteins and mRNA in a time-dependent manner, indicating interference with viral transcription. A mini-replicon assay showed that LMed 93, at 70 and 35\u202f\u03bcM, reduces polymerase activity by 53.7% and 38.7%, while LMed 99\u202fat 9 and 4.5\u202f\u03bcM increased expression by 108.97% and 61.37%, respectively. Structure-activity relationship analysis highlighted that catechol groups and halogenation enhance antiviral potency. These findings suggest that LMed 93 and LMed 99 are promising coumarin-based scaffolds for developing new anti-Influenza A agents, also offering potential strategies for combating other RNA viruses.\n\nID: 42485602\nTitle: An Orthogonal Nanoadjuvant-Based RSV Subunit Vaccine Unlocks Potent Immunity through a High-Entropy-like Immunostimulatory Effect.\nAbstract: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the primary contributors to lower respiratory tract infections, especially in infants, children, and the elderly. The quest for a clinically acceptable and potent RSV vaccine constitutes a long-standing hurdle in clinical practice. Herein, we propose an orthogonal nanoadjuvant-based nanovaccine platform that addresses the long-standing challenge of insufficient cellular immunity in RSV F subunit vaccination. The vaccine is constructed based on Mn/Al-layered double hydroxide (Mn/Al-LDH) nanosheet functionalized with RSV F antigen and poly-CpG motifs. In this system, Al acts as a humoral immunity adjuvant promoting potent antibody responses, while Mn and CpG can enhance cellular immunity through activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and Toll-like receptor (TLR), respectively. The orchestrated activation of multiple immune pathways synergistically produces a \"high-entropy\" immunostimulatory effect, which facilitates the recruitment and subsequent activation of potent CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, thus leading to more rapid antigen-specific immune activation and fostering the establishment of robust long-term T cell memory. Furthermore, an expanded CD134-positive subset within central memory T cells (TCM) is observed, demonstrating that the immune system is primed for robust clonal proliferation and differentiation into effector and memory cell lineages. This immunological setup ensures that any subsequent encounter with the specific antigen will trigger an immediate and vigorous secondary response. In murine challenge models, the nanovaccine outperforms traditional aluminum (Al)-based vaccines by significantly reducing viral load and mitigating lung pathology. This study establishes a new paradigm for developing efficacious RSV vaccines, and the underlying strategy is broadly applicable to vaccine development against other intractable pathogens.\n\nID: 42483173\nTitle: Synthetic double-stranded RNA in antiviral immunity and vaccine adjuvant: insights into poly(I:C) and poly(A:U).\nAbstract: Synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) analogues function as viral mimetics that activate innate immune signaling pathways critical for antiviral defense and the induction of adaptive immunity. Among dsRNA analogues, polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] and polyadenylic:polyuridylic acid [poly(A:U)] have been extensively studied for their immunostimulatory properties and potential as vaccine adjuvants. This review examines how host pattern-recognition receptors sense synthetic dsRNA and explains the rationale for using poly(I:C) and poly(A:U) as representative dsRNA analogues with distinct structural and signaling properties. We compare their antiviral and adjuvant activities, emphasizing differences and commonalities in receptor engagement, downstream signaling, immunogenicity, and safety. Finally, we address emerging applications, translational challenges, and future directions for the rational design and clinical development of dsRNA-based immunomodulators in antiviral immunity and vaccine strategies.\n\nID: 42475333\nTitle: Adjuvants MPLA and SMNP induce antiviral immunity and indirectly revert HIV-1 latency.\nAbstract: Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and the saponin-MPLA nanoparticle adjuvant (SMNP) are known immunostimulants used as adjuvants in vaccines to boost immunity. These adjuvants are under investigation for use in prophylactic and therapeutic HIV-1 vaccines. However, their effects in ART-treated people with HIV-1 (PWH) remain unclear, as chronic immune activation may reduce responses and potentially reactivate latent virus reservoirs. Here we observed that both adjuvants, MPLA and SMNP, triggered TLR4\u2011dependent cytokine production in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs), but SMNP elicited a stronger response than MPLA based on costimulatory receptor expression and cytokine production. Cytokines produced by adjuvant stimulated dendritic cells were able to induce HIV-1 transcription in a J-Lat cell model. Notably, SMNP, but not MPLA, also induced a cytokine response in PBMC from PWH, albeit lower as compared to in healthy donor PBMC. Importantly, SMNP substantially reduced the size of the inducible HIV\u20111 reservoir in PWH ex vivo. The effect on the viral reservoir was likely caused by the cytokine production induced by SMNP, as supernatants from SMNP stimulated DCs showed a similar viral reservoir reduction. Our findings demonstrate that TLR4-targeted adjuvants, especially SMNP, can effectively induce immune activation, supporting their potential use in therapeutic vaccination.\n\nID: 42468600\nTitle: Lysosomal disruption elicits immunogenic cell death: A saponin-nanoaluminum adjuvant for enhanced cancer immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) represents an alternative therapeutic strategy that bypasses conventional genetic or protein targets and triggers cell death by physically tumor disrupting. Herein, QS-21, an FDA-approved saponin with membrane-disruptive capability was loaded onto an aluminum-based adjuvant (denoted as QS-NanoAlum) to induce LMP effects and trigger tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD) through a \"self-lysis\" mechanism. Leveraging its positive surface charge, intratumorally administered QS-NanoAlum could be easily adhered to tumor cell membranes, facilitating efficient cellular internalization. Within the acidic lysosomal environment, QS-NanoAlum underwent degradation and subsequently released QS-21, leading to LMP effect and the cytosolic leakage of hydrolytic enzymes. The released hydrolases and QS-21 would further inflict collateral damage to cellular structures and organelles, including the plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, which ultimately culminated in ICD. Notably, excess QS-NanoAlum could efficiently adsorb the released tumor-associated protein antigens (TAAs) during ICD, forming an antigen depot at the injection site that sustained long-term immune stimulation. Our in vivo studies also demonstrated that QS-NanoAlum significantly suppressed tumor growth and enhanced immune cell infiltration into tumor tissues. Finally, this strategy that physically disrupting the cellular \"recycling center\" to provoke cell disintegration and elicit robust ICD, offering a promising paradigm for cancer immunotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Conventional cancer therapies target specific mutations but are limited by tumor heterogeneity and resistance. We introduce a new paradigm that physically disrupts tumor cells via lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), bypassing molecular targets. Our system, QS-NanoAlum (QS-21 loaded to an aluminum adjuvant), triggers immunogenic cell death through a \"self-lysis\" mechanism. Positively charged QS-NanoAlum is internalized and degrades in acidic lysosomes, releasing QS-21 to induce LMP. Released hydrolases cause widespread organelle damage, leading to robust immunogenic cell death. Excess QS-NanoAlum adsorbs tumor-associated antigens, forming a sustained immune depot. In vivo, QS-NanoAlum suppresses tumor growth and enhances immune infiltration, validating its potential for cancer immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42465256\nTitle: Molecular-level analysis of serum IgG repertoires in COVID-19-vaccinated people with cystic fibrosis identifies abundant convergent antibodies.\nAbstract: People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) are at increased risk of severe disease following respiratory viral infections including influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, and were therefore given priority for COVID-19 vaccination. Retrospective epidemiological data have revealed a lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and a reduced fatality rate among pwCF than in the general population, possibly from the stringent infection control measures and early adoption of protective behaviors. Despite several reports of adequate binding and neutralizing titers after vaccination, the molecular features of vaccine-elicited serum antibody repertoires in pwCF remain unknown. We performed high-resolution proteomic analysis of serum IgG, combined with next-generation sequencing of B cells, to quantitatively profile Spike (S)-reactive serological repertoires from nine infection-na\u00efve pwCF after two doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. We recombinantly expressed 20 IgG clonotypes from 6 pwCF as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and measured their binding and neutralization against vaccine-strain and variant viruses. All donors mounted strong binding and neutralizing titers to vaccine-strain virus. Ig-Seq revealed diverse serum repertoires in all vaccinees, with antibodies targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD) comprising 64% of each circulating repertoire by abundance. Several serum IgG clonotypes identified across our cohort shared identical or similar IGHV and CDRH3 amino acid sequences with serum IgG from other pwCF or S-reactive mAbs isolated from non-CF individuals. These 'convergent' antibodies made up 14.6% of the anti-S repertoires in our cohort, reaching 24.8% in one pwCF. Convergent antibodies tended to be RBD-reactive and enriched in specific IGHV ; surprisingly, a higher abundance of convergent antibodies in serum correlated with a lower breadth of serum neutralization. All 20 mAbs bound Wuhan S with high affinity (EC 50 < 10 nM), and only RBD-reactive mAbs conferred neutralization to vaccine or variant pseudovirus. While most mAbs bound both the B.1.617.2 (Delta, 17/20) and B.1.1.529 (Omicron, 12/20) strains, convergent mAbs were less likely to bind either variant. Post-vaccine serum IgG repertoires in pwCF are dominated by RBD-focused, high-affinity antibodies and include a substantial convergent component shared with non-CF vaccinees. These findings demonstrate that pwCF mount antibody responses comparable to the general population, and a large group of convergent antibodies may contribute to strain-specific rather than cross-variant immunity.\n\nID: 42460695\nTitle: Structural Characterization and Immunostimulatory Activity of a New Slightly Branched \u03b2-glucan in Sporisorium reilianum-Infected Sorghum Head Smut.\nAbstract: Sporisorium reilianum (S. reilianum) is an agricultural pathogen that causes disease and reduces yield in sorghum and maize crops. However, head smut-infected sorghum and maize have been traditionally utilized for edible and medicinal purposes in some regions. In this study, the structure and immunostimulatory potency of a new slightly branched \u03b2-glucan WM-0.25(P) obtained from the S. reilianum-infected sorghum head smut were explored. WM-0.25(P) was a \u03b2-glucan with a molecular weight of 69.67\u00a0kDa and was composed of \u03b2-1,6-D-Glcp as the main chain and \u03b2-1,3-D-Glcp as the side chain. There was approximately one branch for every 11 sugars on the main chain. WM-0.25(P) triggered morphological alterations, enhanced phagocytic activity, and upregulated the expression of surface molecules, while promoting the production of ROS, NO, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2) in RAW264.7 macrophages. The function blocking antibodies to toll-like receptor revealed that TLR4 mainly participated in the recognition and immunostimulatory function of WM-0.25(P). Simultaneously, WM-0.25(P) modulated macrophage inflammatory response mainly through activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. The results indicated that WM-0.25(P), with a low branching degree derived from S. reilianum-infected sorghum head smut, exerted moderate immunomodulatory effects on macrophages. Further in vivo studies are warranted to evaluate its translational potential.\n\nID: 42456446\nTitle: Development of a cholera toxin B subunit-adjuvanted Helicobacter pylori multi-epitope vaccine and evaluation of its immunization effect in mice.\nAbstract: This study used epitope screening technology to identify dominant T/B cell epitopes from the Helicobacter pylori virulence factors UreB, CagA, VacA and HpaA, (UCVH) and develop an effective vaccine. These epitopes were fused in series with the cholera toxin B subunit to develop a multivalent fusion vaccine. The immunogenicity of the recombinant vaccine was systematically evaluated after it was administered to C57BL/6 mice. The serum titers of UCVH-specific IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a antibodies and the mucosal sIgA concentration increased significantly. The splenic lymphocytes also increased their secretion of key cytokines, including IFN-\u03b3, IL-4, and IL-17\u00a0A. These findings demonstrate the excellent immunogenicity of the cholera toxin B subunit-adjuvanted UCVH multi-epitope vaccine and its ability to induce potent humoral immunity and comprehensive cellular immune responses. They provide a crucial experimental foundation for further optimization of Helicobacter pylori vaccines and subsequent studies on anti-infective protection.\n\nID: 42447858\nTitle: Pre-Clinical Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy of a Recombinant Subunit West Nile Virus Vaccine Formulated with Aluminum Hydroxide Adjuvant.\nAbstract: West Nile Virus (WNV) is endemic throughout the world and is a leading cause of mosquito-borne severe and/or fatal encephalitic disease. Although several promising WNV vaccines have been developed, none have been approved for human use. Studies were conducted to evaluate the immunogenicity, protective efficacy, and safety of a recombinant subunit WNV candidate vaccine (WN-80E) formulated with aluminum hydroxide (Alhydrogel\u2122) adjuvant and/or in combination with a semi-synthetic saponin (GPI-0100) adjuvant in mice and hamsters, and for toxicology, immunogenicity and safety in rabbits. Adult mice and hamsters were immunized twice via the intramuscular (IM) route 3 to 4 weeks apart with escalating doses of WN-80E adsorbed to Alhydrogel\u2122. Mice were also immunized with WN-80E in combination with the GPI-0100 adjuvant. All animals were subsequently challenged with a lethal dose of virulent WNV. The rabbits received four IM immunizations 3 weeks apart with WN-80E/Alhydrogel\u2122 that was compared to WN-80E/Alhydrogel\u2122 plus various amounts of GPI-0100. The results of immunogenicity and challenge experiments demonstrated that all WN-80E vaccine formulations with Alhydrogel\u2122 with or without GPI-0100 were immunogenic and afforded complete protection to mice and hamsters against morbidity and mortality following challenge with WNV. Also, the WN-80E/Alhydrogel formulations with or without GPI-0100 were well tolerated and elicited high neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers in rabbits. Cumulatively, because these findings demonstrated that the WN-80E formulated with Alhydrogel\u2122 alone elicited robust antibody responses and protection against viral challenge, this formulation was selected for further evaluation in clinical trials for the prevention of WNV disease in humans.\n\nID: 42446614\nTitle: Preparation and immune efficacy evaluation of inactivated lumpy skin disease virus vaccine.\nAbstract: Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), historically restricted to Africa, has in recent years exhibited a marked expansion into several Asian and European countries, resulting in substantial economic impacts on the global cattle industry. In August 2019, the first confirmed outbreak of LSD was documented in the Xinjiang region of China. In response to this emerging threat, our study established primary, basic, and working seed banks utilizing the LSDV/MZGD/2020 strain, which was isolated from Meizhou, Guangdong. These seed banks underwent rigorous validation via sterility assays and evaluation of proliferation characteristics. Optimal inactivation parameters for the virus were identified through systematic screening of different concentrations of \u03b2-propiolactone. Based on these optimized conditions, we developed two inactivated vaccine formulations: one employing the 201VG adjuvant and the other utilizing aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Safety assessments demonstrated that both vaccines induced no significant irritation or adverse reactions in New Zealand rabbits and dairy cows, and that pathological examinations revealed no abnormal lesions. Immunogenicity analysis showed that the LSDV-201VG inactivated vaccine elicited robust and sustained serum neutralizing and specific antibody responses in cattle, with elevated antibody titers detected from weeks 4-5 and persisting for up to 8 weeks. In contrast, the vaccine formulated with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant generated relatively low antibody levels and failed to achieve requisite immunogenicity thresholds. Collectively, these results indicate that the LSDV-201VG inactivated vaccine exhibits high safety and immunogenic efficacy, providing a robust technical strategy for the prevention and control of LSD in China and Southeast Asia.\n\nID: 42441816\nTitle: Optimized seasonal influenza mRNA vaccine compositions demonstrate safety and enhanced immunogenicity in a phase 2 study.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes considerable morbidity and mortality, with influenza A and B viruses driving most influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths. Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382.\n\nID: 42440506\nTitle: CD4 T cell phenotype after AS01-adjuvanted immunization is shaped by prior antigen or pathogen exposure.\nAbstract: CD4 T-cell responses are important for the protection conferred by many infectious disease vaccines and can be quantitatively and qualitatively improved by adjuvants. The AS01 adjuvant is present in critical licensed or candidate vaccines against, amongst others, zoster, respiratory syncytial virus, malaria and tuberculosis. During their clinical development, these vaccines have been evaluated in populations ranging from immunologically na\u00efve to strongly pathogen-primed individuals. We dissected the vaccine-induced CD4 T-cell responses across these studies, to elucidate how pre-existing immune memory in the host drives the polyfunctional phenotype of the vaccine-induced CD4 T cells. Across the investigated vaccines, a consistent pattern emerged, in which the capacity of antigen-specific vaccine-induced CD4 T cells to produce interferon-\u03b3 appeared to depend on increased levels of prior exposure, leading to pre-existing memory T cells. As the dominant origin of a vaccine-induced CD4 T-cell response (i.e., memory cells with a pre-existing T-cell receptor repertoire, or newly recruited na\u00efve cells) remains to be clarified, this observation helps to guide future research into efficacious next-generation vaccines tailored to the specific immune priming status of the target population.\n\nID: 42551467\nTitle: Comparative immunogenicity of mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 bivalent booster vaccines in US nursing home residents.\nAbstract: Nursing home residents (NHRs) remain among the most vulnerable to severe outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection. While mRNA-1273 (Spikevax, Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccines are widely used in this population, comparative data on their immunogenicity, particularly after bivalent boosters, remain limited. We conducted a longitudinal immunologic evaluation of U.S. NHRs who received either the mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2 bivalent vaccine. Serum samples were collected 10-30 d post-vaccination. Anti-spike IgG levels were measured using a Luminex bead-based assay, and neutralizing titers were assessed via pseudovirus neutralization. Comparative analyses of the titer distributions were performed using two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Both vaccine groups demonstrated strong humoral responses to the ancestral Wuhan strain and Omicron BA.4/5 subvariants. Spike-binding antibody levels and neutralization titers were comparable between the mRNA -1273 and BNT162b2 vaccine formulations. Conclusions: Both mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccines elicit similarly robust humoral immunity in NHRs, supporting their interchangeable use in booster strategies. Our findings underscore the importance of timely booster administration over exact product selection in protecting this high-risk, immunosenescent population.\n\nID: 42541646\nTitle: Past achievements and future perspectives of personalized vaccines and the role of dendritic cells.\nAbstract: Personalized vaccines provide the advantage of patient-specific antigen selection to optimize immune responses, a strategy extensively explored in oncology through neoantigen-targeted peptide, mRNA, and dendritic cell platforms. Peptide vaccines provide simplicity and stability though often elicit limited cytotoxic T-cell responses. What is more, mRNA vaccines lead to rapid, multiplexed neoantigen delivery, endogenous antigen processing and eventually improved immunogenic coverage. Dendritic cell-based vaccines have the potency to prime potent T-cells although this technology requires labor-intensive manufacturing and extensive production timelines. Integration with immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, and oncolytic viruses further enhances efficacy, suggesting that rational combinations may be more effective than single modalities. Recent advances in sequencing, computational epitope prediction, and bioinformatics pipelines have facilitated neoantigen prioritization and DC vaccine design, enabling more rapid and precise personalization. Hybrid vaccination strategies, such as ex-vivo mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells and in-vivo DC-targeted platforms, bridge the gap between manufacturing feasibility and potent immune activation. Emerging technologies, including AI-driven neoepitope prediction, receptor-targeted antigen delivery, biomaterial-based modulation, and distributed mRNA manufacturing, seem to be promising approaches to accelerate personalized vaccine development in future. From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases. Host HLA diversity, prior immune history, and viral evolution create heterogeneity in immune responses, highlighting opportunities for semi-personalized or adaptive strategies. In this review, we provide a landscape of personalized vaccines, with a focus on DC-based platforms, and explore translational lessons for viral pathogens. A conceptual framework linking cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease preparedness is proposed, emphasizing hybrid personalization approaches, rapid manufacturing, and AI-enabled epitope selection. This perspective highlights how convergence of immunology, computational biology, and advanced vaccine technologies could expand the scope of personalized vaccination, from oncology to future epidemic and pandemic scenarios as well as the current challenges.\n\nID: 42516097\nTitle: Persistent SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein in Vasculitic Skin Lesions after Infection or mRNA Vaccination: A Retrospective Case control Immunofluorescence Study.\nAbstract: Vasculitic skin lesions have been reported in association with both SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. Whether viral proteins persist in lesional vessels beyond the acute phase remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in persistent or delayed-onset cutaneous vasculitis temporally associated with COVID-19 infection or vaccination. This retrospective case-control study includes 9 patients with persistent or delayed-onset vasculitic skin lesions following COVID-19 infection (n=4) or mRNA vaccination (n=5). Skin biopsies were analysed using immunofluorescence for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Prepandemic leukocytoclastic vasculitis (n=3) and healthy postinfection/postvaccination skin (n=3) served as controls. Spike protein was detected in vascular endothelial cells of all 9 patients with COVID-19- or vaccine-associated vasculitis. Staining was absent in all prepandemic vasculitis and healthy control samples. Histopathology showed typical features of leukocytoclastic vasculitis without evidence of viral cytopathic changes. We found that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can persist in endothelial cells of vasculitic skin lesions weeks to months after COVID-19 infection or mRNA vaccination. These findings suggest that retained viral proteins may contribute to prolonged or delayed-onset vasculitic skin manifestations. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying spike persistence and its clinical significance.\n\nID: 42511517\nTitle: SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination Induces Reduced T-Cell Apoptosis in Patients with Solid Tumors.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent a transformative platform in vaccinology, with applications extending beyond SARS-CoV-2 to other infectious diseases and cancer immunotherapy. However, patients with solid tumors receiving active anticancer treatment were largely underrepresented in pivotal vaccination trials, limiting understanding of vaccine-induced immunity in this population. In this prospective exploratory study, we assessed humoral and cellular immune responses after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in 39 patients with solid tumors undergoing active treatment. Blood samples were collected before vaccination and approximately two months after the second vaccine dose, prior to the next treatment cycle. Anti-spike IgG, neutralizing antibodies, receptor-binding domain (RBD) levels, interleukin-6 (IL-6), hematological parameters, immune cell subsets, T-cell differentiation, and early apoptosis in \u03b1\u03b2 and \u03b3\u03b4 T-cell subsets were analyzed. Vaccination induced a robust humoral response, with high post-vaccination anti-spike IgG levels (median 988.69 BAU/mL), 97.44% seropositivity, 96.88% true seroconversion among baseline IgG-/NAb- patients, and strong neutralizing antibody activity (median 85.73%). Hematological parameters and IL-6 levels remained broadly stable, suggesting no detectable increase in systemic inflammation during the study period. Cellular analyses identified a reduction in peripheral CD19+ B-cell frequencies and decreased early apoptosis, particularly in CD8+ T cells and CD3+CD56+ NKT-like cells. Although changes in T-cell frequencies and differentiation profiles were also observed, these findings were attenuated after exclusion of participants with possible prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure and should be interpreted as exploratory. Overall, these results show that patients with solid tumors receiving active treatment can mount robust humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination and suggest measurable post-vaccination changes in lymphocyte dynamics, including reduced early T-cell apoptosis.\n\nID: 42479253\nTitle: Self-amplifying mRNA vaccine cocktail against Staphylococcus aureus: A multi-epitope immunoinformatics and structural simulation framework.\nAbstract: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) remains a critical global public health threat, and the development of effective non-antibiotic prophylactic strategies is an urgent priority. To date, no licensed vaccine exists for the prevention of invasive S. aureus infections in humans. In the present study, a comprehensive multi-method pipeline was employed to design a bivalent self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) vaccine cocktail targeting the ClfA, Hly, and SraP virulence antigens of S. aureus. An integrated framework combining immunoinformatics, structural bioinformatics, molecular simulations, and repository-curated experimental benchmark data was applied to delineate the immunodominant epitopic regions of each antigen, culminating in the rational design of two saRNA candidate vaccines, SaBVax807 and SaTVax876. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were subsequently performed to characterize and validate the binding interactions of both constructs with anti-S. aureus Fab fragment antibodies and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. Population coverage analysis for SaTVax876 was conducted across sixteen geographically diverse regions to evaluate global applicability. Each candidate vaccine was subjected to codon optimization to maximize translational efficiency in human host cells and rigorously evaluated for safety, stability, and immunogenic potential through a comprehensive assessment of allergenicity, antigenicity, autoimmune risk, physicochemical properties, toxicity profiles, and molecular interaction dynamics. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that the saRNA vaccine cocktail exhibits favorable safety, structural stability, and computationally predicted immunogenic profiles against S. aureus. This study establishes a comprehensive computational and in silico foundation supporting the capacity of these candidate vaccines to elicit broad anti-S. aureus immune responses, and provides a validated evidence base to guide subsequent preclinical and clinical investigations.\n\nID: 42435835\nTitle: Comparative analysis of non-clinical and clinical safety assessment of COVID 19 vaccines.\nAbstract: The aim of this work was to propose a comparative analysis of data from non-clinical studies and from pharmacovigilance evaluation collected following the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in France. Five authorized vaccines were included in the analysis: tozinameran (Comirnaty\u00ae), elasomeran (Spikevax\u00ae), ChAdOx1-S (Vaxzevria\u00ae), Ad26.COV2-S (Jcovden\u00ae), and the SARS-CoV-2-S protein with Matrix-M (Nuvaxovid\u00ae). Among the four adverse events recognized by the European Medicines Agency the following were analysed: reactogenicity in response to vaccines, myocarditis associated with mRNA vaccines, and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) associated with viral vector vaccines. A reactogenicity score was developed from PV data, based on reported symptoms and their intensity showing higher reactogenicity with viral vector vaccines. A parallel score was developed from non-clinical data (biomarkers and histopathological analysis). No correlation was evidenced between clinical outcomes and non-clinical parameters. For rare adverse events, the analysis identified clinical biomarkers such as troponin in the case of myocarditis. These rare events were not predicted by non-clinical studies as expected. While non-clinical studies currently meet regulatory safety requirements, their predictive capacity could be enhanced by integrating a reactogenicity scoring system, harmonizing biomarker monitoring, and adding targeted parameters based on clinical evidence.\n\nID: 42430326\nTitle: Adverse events following immunization during COVID-19 mass vaccination campaigns in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Findings from active safety surveillance.\nAbstract: Post-marketing safety surveillance is essential for ensuring vaccine safety and maintaining public trust, particularly in African settings where evidence on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines remains limited. This study aimed to determine the overall incidence and types of\u00a0AEFIs, as well as the factors associated with their occurrence, during COVI-19 mass vaccination campaigns in Democratic Republic of Congo. From December 1-29, 2023, a prospective safety surveillance study was conducted in Kinshasa Province. Participants were surveyed through phone calls from day 1-28 following COVID-19 vaccine administration. AEFI incidence rates were calculated by type of vaccine, sex, number of dose and age group. Factors associated with\u00a0AEFIs\u00a0were identified using multivariable logistic regression models, expressed by adjusted odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval. The study included 4766 participants. Their median [IQR] age was 36 [27-48] years and 2503 (53%) were males, 94.63% received the J&J vaccine while 256 (5.37%) received the BNT162b2 vaccine. Incidence of AEFIs was 23.75% (95%CI: 22.54%-24.99%). AEFIs mostly reported were fever (9.61%, 95%CI: 8.88%-10.48%), injection site pain (9.00%, 95%CI: 8.20%-9.85%), headache (4.11%, 95%CI: 3.57%-4.72%), stiffness (1.51%, 95%CI: 1.18%-1.89%) and myalgia (1.15%, 95%CI: 0.87%-1.49%). The incidence of AEFIs was higher for the BNT162b2 vaccine at 34.48% (95% CI: 28.57%-40.54%) vs. 23.15% (95% CI: 21.92%-24.41%) for the J&J vaccine. Compared to participants aged 18-59 years, those under 18 years old were associated with decreased odds of reporting any AEFI (aOR= 0.26, 95%CI: 0.13-0.88) and injection site pain (aOR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.05-0.75). Those aged 60 years and older were associated with decreased odds of reporting any AEFI (aOR= 0.78, 95%CI: 0.62-0.99) and fever (aOR=0. 63, 95%CI: 0.43-0.92). Approximately one-quarter of participants reported AEFI. The observed association with vaccine type and age underscores the need for systematic vaccine safety monitoring in the population. This is critical for guiding future vaccination strategies tailored to individuals who may be more susceptible to AEFIs.\n\nID: 42415697\nTitle: Dynamics of Circulating Follicular Helper and Regulatory T-Cell Memory Induced by mRNA, Inactivated, and Live-Attenuated Vaccines.\nAbstract: OX40 signaling promotes the differentiation of memory CD4+ T cells into T follicular helper (Tfh) cells that support germinal center (GC) B-cell responses. Using an extended activation-induced marker (AIM) assay based on OX40 (CD134) and CD25 coexpression, we quantified antigen-specific circulating memory Tfh and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells following in vitro stimulation with influenza, SARS-CoV-2, or measles antigens. Responses were assessed longitudinally in recipients of inactivated influenza (n\u2009=\u200920) and mRNA COVID-19 (n\u2009=\u200913) vaccines and cross-sectionally in individuals vaccinated with the live-attenuated measles vaccine (n\u2009=\u20098). All three vaccines elicited humoral responses. Functional assays, performed when sufficient cell numbers were available, showed that sorted influenza-specific Tfh cells (OX40+CD25+CXCR5+), cocultured with autologous CD27+CD19+ memory B cells, promoted B-cell expansion and antibody secretion. This was accompanied by increased CXCL13, IL-21, soluble CD40L, and APRIL, consistent with effective T-cell help and B-cell activation. Comparative analyses revealed distinct patterns of follicular immune responses: influenza vaccination induced coordinated Tfh and Tfr responses, whereas mRNA COVID-19 vaccination generated increased Tfh but minimal Tfr cells. At peak response, measles and influenza vaccinees exhibited comparable Tfh and Tfr frequencies, while COVID-19 vaccinees showed similar Tfh but reduced Tfr proportions. Overall, the extended AIM assay represents a practical and minimally invasive approach for simultaneous monitoring of Tfh and Tfr populations in humans, providing a scalable framework to investigate follicular immune balance across vaccination settings. Beyond enabling sensitive detection of antigen-specific memory responses, this approach highlights the importance of assessing both helper and regulatory follicular compartments to better understand vaccine-induced immunity.\n\nID: 42412769\nTitle: A piezoelectric electroporator (Piezopen) for enhanced \"naked\" RNA vaccine delivery.\nAbstract: Despite the success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, they still face challenges with high costs, complex manufacturing, off-target biodistribution, and systemic reactogenicity stemming from their inflammatory carriers: lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). While \"naked\" RNA delivery could in principle solve these issues, studies have suggested that it is infeasible due to rapid degradation by RNases and poor cellular entry, thereby necessitating formulations that enhance intracellular delivery and RNA stability. Now, we challenge this paradigm by showing that a simple and inexpensive (<$1), lighter-derived electroporator with microneedle electrodes (Piezopen) can augment gene expression and immunogenicity to naked mRNA leading to comparable responses to LNPs at low doses. We achieve robust responses in the absence of systemic inflammation and reactogenicity using skin-targeted delivery, administer diverse construct types (i.e., mRNA, self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), circular RNA (circRNA)), and demonstrate cross-species validation in live human skin to derisk subsequent clinical application. Our results introduce Piezopen as an inexpensive, well-tolerated, and efficacious alternative to LNPs for mRNA vaccine delivery, designed to facilitate routine vaccinations and pandemic response.\n\nID: 42410167\nTitle: SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity after XBB.1.5 vaccination is not significantly altered by subsequent influenza vaccination in dialysis patients.\nAbstract: Annual immunisation against COVID-19 and seasonal influenza before the winter waves is increasingly recommended in routine practice. These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine. These findings support the use of booster vaccination in these patients and inform future deployment of additional mRNA-based vaccines.\n\nID: 42382741\nTitle: Multiple sclerosis patients under treatment with interferon \u03b21-a or ocrelizumab exhibit different T and B cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.\nAbstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and progressive degeneration of the central nervous system. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have proved to be effective at ameliorating the course of MS. DMTs are immunomodulatory drugs affecting immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and its vaccine efficacy in MS patients (pwMS). In this longitudinal study, we analyzed T and B cell subsets in peripheral blood and the antigen (spike)-specific T cell response in pwMS patients undergoing interferon \u03b21-a (IFN) or ocrelizumab (OCRE), before and after BNT162b2 mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Blood was collected from pwMS treated with IFN and OCRE before and after the two vaccine doses. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytometry to measure T and B cell frequency, the expression of activation/regulatory/memory T cell markers and their spike-specific T cell response. CD20+ B-cells were decreased in OCRE- compared to IFN- treated pwMS before and after vaccination. CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses and the immunological memory was comparable between the two groups. Th17 cells were increased after vaccination only in the OCRE-treated group. We detected a robust spike-specific T cell response, paralleled by a significant decrease of Treg frequency, in both pwMS groups. Although IFN and OCRE induced distinct immunological profile, both DMTs allowed to mount a vaccine-induced cellular and humoral immune response. This study also represents a model that could be applied to dissect the vaccine-elicited immune response in individuals undergoing treatment with different biological drugs.\n\nID: 42379196\nTitle: Safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines: a mechanistic and public health perspective.\nAbstract: mRNA vaccines represent a transformative advance in vaccinology, combining rapid development timelines, scalable manufacturing, and strong immunogenicity with a favourable safety profile. Global deployment of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic provided an unprecedented real-world evaluation of this platform, with billions of doses administered across diverse populations. In this Review, we critically examine the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines from mechanistic, preclinical, clinical, and public health perspectives. We outline the biological basis of mRNA vaccines, including their transient cytoplasmic expression, lack of genomic integration, and rapid clearance, distinguishing them clearly from other gene therapies. We synthesise evidence on vaccine components, manufacturing quality controls, and regulatory standards that underpin safety, alongside data from randomised trials, post-authorisation surveillance, and active pharmacovigilance systems. We also review real-world effectiveness across age groups, pregnancy, and populations that are immunocompromised, along with the effects on transmission. Last, we address public perception and vaccine confidence, and discuss implications for next-generation mRNA vaccines, including strategies to reduce reactogenicity, improve breadth and durability of immunity, enhance global access, and support sustainable public trust. Together, the accumulated evidence affirms mRNA vaccines as a safe, effective, and adaptable platform with enduring relevance for future infectious disease prevention and public health preparedness, and for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity.\n\nID: 42375415\nTitle: Different dose-based multi HN&F epitope mRNA vaccine against Newcastle disease.\nAbstract: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is considered a major player in the ongoing challenges in the poultry farming system due to its virulence, which affects productivity. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a multi-epitope mRNA vaccine that targets the NDV fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) proteins in chickens. The cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes were obtained from NetCTL 1.2, whereas the helper T lymphocyte (HTL) epitopes were predicted using the IEDB MHC-II binding prediction tool. The subsequent selection of the epitopes was via binding affinity and was also predicted antigenically (VaxiJen v2.0) and allergenically (AllerTOP v2.0), and for sequence conservancy. The selected epitopes were fused with Alanine-Alanine-Tyrosine, Glycine-Proline-Glycine-Proline-Glycine, and Lysine-Lysine linkers. The vector was constructed, and the sequence was validated using VectorBee. There were 280 chickens distributed randomly across eight sets (n = 35 per set), consisting of one set that received the F&HN multi-epitope mRNA vaccine in addition to one set that was unvaccinated and served as a negative control, and six sets that received one of several different commercially available NDV vaccines. A virulent NDV strain was used to challenge the birds, and hemagglutination inhibition (HI), ELISA, lymphocyte proliferation, and Interferon-gamma Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot assays were used to assess the immune responses. Several epitopes for CTL, HTL, and B-cells that were both conservatively positioned and highly immunogenic were identified for the F and HN proteins. In the experiment, chickens that were immunized with the multi-epitope mRNA vaccine had significantly higher HI antibody titers and ELISA optical density values than the negative control group. The mRNA vaccine group had statistically significant differences in lymphocyte proliferation and the number of IFN-\u03b3-producing cells. After the virulent NDV challenge, the mRNA vaccine group had the best protection with the fewest and least severe clinical signs and the lowest mortality. The mRNA vaccine for the F and HN multi-epitopes NDV was the first to provide extensive protection against NDV. The vaccine elicited strong immune responses, demonstrating the potential of mRNA multi-epitope-based vaccines for NDV as a significant improvement over the previous method.\n\nID: 42371502\nTitle: The Time Course of Serum Iron and Serum Ferritin Concentrations Post-COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccinations.\nAbstract: Temporal responses of serum iron and ferritin in COVID-19 infection and vaccination remain insufficiently characterized. This case report presents their timeline after SARS-CoV-2 and influenza vaccinations and may serve as a model for future studies. The approach can be extended to cohort studies or investigations of other acute-phase reactants. A vaccination protocol with a defined timeline can provide a template for COVID-19 and long COVID studies. Blood samples were collected from vaccination through 6\u2009weeks postvaccination, focusing on iron metabolism. Prevaccination values served as baseline controls. SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination was administered together with routine seasonal influenza vaccination. Previous influenza vaccinations in this patient were not associated with systemic symptoms such as dizziness or fever; in contrast, the present case exhibited clear reactions, suggesting that the observed alterations in serum iron and ferritin are attributable to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The vaccination induced an abrupt decrease in serum iron and a concomitant increase in ferritin. While ferritin returned to baseline within 6\u2009weeks, iron levels steadily increased to approximately 1.8-fold above baseline values but remaining within the reference interval. The observed decrease in serum iron reflects an iron-withholding response, a well-established host defense mechanism during infections that limits pathogen proliferation. The increase in ferritin requires further interpretation. A hypothesis is presented, but further data are needed to support this mechanism. In future cohort studies, the protocol should include individual prevaccination values so that an additional control group is not necessary. Immune reactions to vaccines can trigger transient changes in serum iron and ferritin that resemble the acute-phase response observed during infections. This case may serve as a template for studying the kinetics of immune responses, where t\u2009=\u20090 is defined by the vaccination time and each patient serves as own control when prior data are available.\n\nID: 42363600\nTitle: Targeting vaccine fusion proteins to APCs increases immunogenicity of adenoviral and mRNA-LNP vaccines.\nAbstract: mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and adenoviral delivery of vaccines have proven effective during the COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, we explored whether antigen-presenting cell (APC) targeting of antigens could further enhance the immunogenicity of these delivery formats. Experiments were performed in mouse models for malaria (Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte-binding protein homolog 5 [PfRH5] antigen) and influenza (hemagglutinin [HA] antigen). We used genetic constructs encoding bivalent fusion proteins that target antigens to MHC class II (MHCII) molecules on professional APCs. We demonstrate that MHCII-targeted fusion proteins bound to professional APCs and that such APC-targeting increased antibody and T cell responses as well as protection against the influenza virus. The results suggest that the injected mRNA-LNP and adenoviral vectors resulted in the secretion of fusion proteins that targeted APCs. Employing the APC-targeting principle could enhance the efficiency of adenoviral and mRNA-LNP vaccines against a variety of diseases.\n\nID: 42347615\nTitle: Live Attenuated Influenza Virus as a Vector for Multivalent T-Cell Vaccines: Targeting RSV, hMPV, and PIV3.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), and parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) are leading causes of acute respiratory infections in children and the elderly, yet no licensed T-cell vaccines are available. This study aimed to develop multivalent T-cell vaccine candidates against these pathogens using a live attenuated influenza virus (LAIV) vector platform. Methods: Conserved F, N, and M proteins of RSV, hMPV, and PIV3 were identified through multiple sequence alignments. Fragments enriched with experimentally confirmed and predicted T-cell epitopes were selected using the IEDB and NetMHCpan servers. These fragments were assembled into polyepitope immunogenic cassettes, and their selected order was determined by thermodynamic analysis of mRNA secondary structures using the RNAfold Web Server. The selected cassettes were cloned into the neuraminidase (NA) gene of a cold-adapted LAIV vector. Recombinant viruses were rescued by reverse genetics and assessed for replicative fitness in embryonated chicken eggs and MDCK cells, NA enzymatic activity and genetic stability upon serial passaging. Results: Four cassettes were designed for RSV, three for hMPV, and one for PIV3, all containing fragments with multiple T-cell epitopes. Three recombinant viruses of LAIV/RSV type and three of LAIV/hMPV type were successfully rescued, while attempts to recover the remaining recombinant viruses, i.e., LAIV/RSV and LAIV/PIV3, were not successful. All rescued recombinant viruses replicated to titers comparable to the parental LAIV strain and retained the full-length insert for at least eight passages in eggs. Importantly, NA enzymatic activity of the LAIV vector was not compromised by the insertion of the polyepitope T-cell cassettes. Conclusions: We developed a panel of recombinant T cell-based vaccine candidates against RSV and hMPV using the LAIV vector platform. These recombinant viruses encode conserved T-cell epitopes of the target viruses while retaining the biological properties of LAIV strains. Taken together, these characteristics warrant further evaluation of these recombinant viruses in appropriate relevant in vitro models to directly assess their immunogenicity in terms of stimulating a T-cell response against target pathogens.\n\nID: 42342874\nTitle: Immunological mechanisms of mRNA vaccines for infectious diseases.\nAbstract: Nucleoside-modified mRNA-lipid-nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP) vaccines confer a high level of protection against severe COVID-19 and, since their first authorization for human use in 2020, have saved millions of lives. The efficacy of this vaccine platform relies on the induction of powerful and coordinated innate and adaptive immune responses. A deep understanding of the mechanisms of action by which mRNA-LNP vaccines drive protective immunity is crucial for advancing the development of next-generation mRNA vaccines with improved immunogenicity and tolerability. A flurry of recent studies has shed light on aspects of this vaccine modality's modus operandi. Nonetheless, key gaps in knowledge remain, including understanding how LNPs are sensed by the immune system and exert their adjuvant activity, identifying the specific signals and cellular pathways critical for eliciting protective immune responses and determining whether it is feasible to uncouple vaccine immunogenicity and reactogenicity. Here we review the known and unknown features of the immunological mechanisms of mRNA-LNP vaccines for infectious diseases. Furthermore, we discuss how the components of this vaccine platform can be modified to fine-tune immune responses against challenging pathogens for which effective vaccines do not exist or need improvement.\n\nID: 42327741\nTitle: COVID-19 mRNA vaccines: a prospective outlook from technological innovation to clinical practice.\nAbstract: The COVID-19 pandemic established mRNA vaccines as a clinically validated platform for rapid vaccine development and deployment. This review summarizes recent progress in COVID-19 mRNA vaccine technology, clinical performance, immunological mechanisms, and translational applications. First-generation nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines formulated in lipid nanoparticles demonstrated strong protection against symptomatic disease and, more durably, against severe outcomes, while variant-driven immune escape, waning protection against infection, limited mucosal immunity, and heterogeneous responses in special populations revealed important constraints. The review compares mRNA vaccines with other COVID-19 vaccine platforms and clarifies endpoint-specific correlates of protection, emphasizing the distinct roles of neutralizing antibodies, memory B cells, T-cell responses, and non-neutralizing antibody functions. It further examines unresolved issues associated with repeated vaccination, including immune imprinting and IgG4 class switching, and evaluates technological strategies designed to improve durability, breadth, delivery, and immune programming. Key innovations include optimized RNA chemistry, structure-guided antigen design, advanced lipid nanoparticle formulations, alternative delivery systems, immune-shaping adjuvant approaches, and next-generation RNA formats such as self-amplifying RNA and circular RNA. Finally, the review discusses vaccination strategies for immunocompromised individuals, pregnant and lactating women, older adults, and children, as well as the expansion of mRNA technology into respiratory virus vaccines, cancer immunotherapy, and therapeutic protein expression. These developments define mRNA technology as a modular platform whose clinical impact depends on aligning RNA architecture, delivery system, antigen design, and target population.\n\nID: 42318873\nTitle: Bacterial mRNA Vaccines: Programming Immunity Against Antimicrobial Resistance.\nAbstract: The relentless rise of antimicrobial resistance poses a critical threat to global health, urgently demanding the development of antibacterial vaccines. Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, validated during the COVID-19 pandemic, offers a powerful platform of fast development and flexibility. However, its application against bacterial pathogens remains an emerging frontier due to the structural complexity of bacterial antigens, challenges in achieving effective mucosal and cellular delivery, and the need to elicit balanced Th1/Th17-dominated immune responses for durable protection. Progress in antigen design, mRNA engineering, and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery has enabled early preclinical success against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Yet, challenges such as complex antigen expression, mucosal targeting, and immune durability persist. This review provides a brief overview of recent advances in bacterial mRNA vaccine design, including antigen selection, mRNA engineering, and delivery platform optimization. Additionally, we summarize current preclinical progress across key bacterial pathogens and highlight emerging strategies that integrate AI-guided antigen discovery, synthetic biology, and next-generation delivery systems to accelerate clinical translation. Finally, we highlight the prospects of bacterial mRNA vaccines by integrating synthetic biology, AI-driven antigen prediction, and advanced delivery systems. These cutting-edge technologies hold the promise of overcoming existing barriers, ultimately establishing mRNA vaccines as a viable and powerful strategy to curb the tide of antibiotic-resistant infections.\n\nID: 42316313\nTitle: A bivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine confers broad-spectrum protection against both homologous and heterologous H5/H7 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses in SPF chickens.\nAbstract: The continuous evolution and co-circulation of H5 and H7 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) have caused substantial economic losses to the global poultry industry and pose a persistent threat to public health. This study aimed to develop a bivalent nucleoside-modified messenger (mRNA) vaccine encoding the hemagglutinin (HA) antigens of circulating H5N1 and H7N9 strains and to evaluate its immunogenicity and protective efficacy in an SPF chicken model. The bivalent vaccine elicited robust humoral immunity in SPF chickens in a dose-dependent manner following immunization. The immune sera exhibited potent neutralizing activity against the homologous viruses and cross-reactivity with heterologous strains. Challenge experiments demonstrated that chickens immunized with high doses (50\u00a0\u03bcg and 80\u00a0\u03bcg) of the bivalent mRNA vaccine were 100% protected against lethal challenge with homologous and heterologous H5N1, as well as heterologous H7N9 viruses. Furthermore, the vaccine effectively suppressed viral replication in the lungs and significantly reduced or blocked viral shedding. Importantly, splenic transcriptome sequencing revealed that vaccination elicited extensive immune reprogramming, with marked upregulation of key genes associated with Th1-type immune responses, antigen presentation, and cytokine production. The bivalent mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine developed in this study exhibited excellent immunogenicity and broad-spectrum protective potential in SPF chickens. Transcriptomic analysis further elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying the vaccine-induced protective immunity. This study provides a promising vaccine candidate for the control of the co-circulation of H5 and H7 subtype HPAIVs.\n\nID: 42315521\nTitle: Engineering a dual-antigen mRNA vaccine to restore immune control in chronic hepatitis B.\nAbstract: Therapeutic vaccination for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains challenging, as persistent immune tolerance to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) impedes anti-HBsAg seroconversion. Here we show that screening antigen combinations incorporating HBsAg identifies preS1-HBsAg as the optimal pairing. The resulting dual-antigen mRNA vaccine elicits robust hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific immune responses in chronic HBV mouse models, leading to near-complete viral genome clearance, marked reduction of multiple HBV antigens, and serological conversion. Mechanistic analyses reveal that preS1 serves as the primary driver of HBV-specific T cell responses, while HBsAg contributes to both anti-HBsAg seroconversion and intrinsic adjuvant activity. Specifically, when delivered in mRNA form, HBsAg promotes antigen-presenting cell (APC) activation, enhances antigen presentation, and amplifies preS1-specific CD8\u207a T cell responses. Furthermore, combining the preS1-HBsAg vaccine with interferon-\u03b1 (IFN-\u03b1) enhances antiviral efficacy and immune memory while maintaining a favorable safety profile. These findings establish preS1-HBsAg mRNA vaccination as a promising and translatable therapeutic strategy for functional cure of CHB.\n\nID: 42313401\nTitle: Booster mRNA Vaccination Prevents Breakthrough Severe COVID-19 Infections.\nAbstract: This study aimed to assess the humoral immune response following administration of a BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 booster dose and to evaluate its association with the development of SARS-CoV-2 infection after vaccination. Between July 2021 and February 2022, serum samples were collected from 313 individuals 28 days after receiving a COVID-19 booster dose. Quantitative SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies directed against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein were measured using a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Neutralizing antibody activity, defined as inhibition of the RBD-ACE2 interaction, was evaluated semi-quantitatively by a competitive ELISA. Participants were followed for 6 months after the final dose to identify confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections. The cohort included 97 males (31%) and 216 females (69%), with a mean age of 39.43 years. The median SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody level at day 28 was 7713.3\u2009AU/mL, and the median neutralizing antibody inhibition rate was 99.2%. Antibody levels were not significantly associated with age or comorbidities. Booster vaccination induced a strong humoral immune response in all participants. However, the occurrence of post-vaccination infections despite high antibody levels suggests immune escape by emerging variants. While vaccines may not fully prevent infection, they provide substantial protection against severe disease and mortality.\n\nID: 42303148\nTitle: Endocytosis-dependent and spleen-selective mRNA expression enabled by ionizable lipidoid linkers enhances therapeutic mRNA vaccination.\nAbstract: mRNA therapy offers precise control, scalability, and a favorable safety profile, making it a promising modality for disease treatment. However, its clinical success critically depends on effective mRNA delivery systems. Currently approved lipid nanoparticles (LNP) predominantly accumulate in the liver, leading to hepatotoxicity and restricting their application to liver-related diseases. Here, we synthesized a series of ionizable lipidoids with distinct linker structures-alkylated, hydroxylated, and esterified-and combined with DOPE and cholesterol to construct three-component lipid nanoparticles (tLNP). We demonstrate that the linker structure of ionizable lipidoids is a key determinant of both the mRNA delivery efficiency and organ selectivity of tLNP. Compared with alkylated or esterified counterparts, tLNP formulated with hydroxylated-linker ionizable lipidoids exhibit enhanced cellular uptake, superior mRNA delivery, and pronounced spleen-selective mRNA expression. Notably, these tLNP achieve a spleen-to-liver mRNA expression ratio of up to 85.88, effectively reducing liver toxicity and enabling extrahepatic mRNA therapies. Leveraging this platform, we developed a therapeutic mRNA vaccine (mLMP2A@BO10-tLNP) for EBV-associated cancers. The immunological role of the spleen and PEG-free tLNP design enhance vaccine safety and efficacy. This work provides design principles for efficient mRNA delivery and introduces strategies for treating EBV-associated cancers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: mRNA-based therapies have demonstrated transformative potential, with multiple applications advancing toward clinical translation. A critical factor in this process is the optimization of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems. While current research has largely focused on the design of ionizable lipidoids, the regulatory role of their linker structures remains underexplored. This study reveals that linker structures critically govern LNP-mediated mRNA delivery efficiency and organ-selective expression, providing design principles for next-generation LNPs. Furthermore, by leveraging virus-derived antigens, this work presents a therapeutic mRNA tumor vaccine strategy that significantly reduces off-target cytotoxicity, addressing a key limitation of tumor antigen specificity. Together, these findings offer important insights for improving the safety and translational potential of therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccines.\n\nID: 42297775\nTitle: Exploring offspring behaviour after prenatal COVID-19 vaccination in mice.\nAbstract: Maternal immunisation allows the transfer of protective antibodies to the offspring, reducing the risk of severe infection during early life. While vaccination during pregnancy is clinically recommended, its long-term impact on neurodevelopment remains under investigation. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social and behavioural alterations. Here, we evaluated whether prenatal exposure to the COVID-19 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine or influenza vaccine affects general and autism-related behavioural outcomes in juvenile (4 weeks) and adult (8 weeks) mouse offspring. We also assessed maternal and fetal immune responses by measuring cytokines, soluble P2X7 receptor, BDNF, CRP, and lipid peroxidation in maternal plasma and fetal brain tissue. Prenatal COVID-19 vaccination elicited a moderate maternal cytokine response (increased IL-6 and KC) without overt fetal brain inflammation. Mild, age- and sex-dependent behavioural changes were observed, including anxiety-related parameters in the elevated plus maze and altered locomotion in the open field at 4-8 weeks, however, no consistent or robust ASD-like behavioural phenotype emerged across ages. Fetal P2X7 receptor levels were elevated, while fetal CRP, BDNF, and TBARS remained unchanged. In adult offspring, BDNF was selectively reduced in the prefrontal cortex, whereas hippocampal BDNF and P2X7 receptor levels in both regions were unaffected. Although embryonic P2X7 receptor levels were transiently elevated following COVID-19 vaccination, these changes were not accompanied by fetal inflammation or persistent adult purinergic alterations. Prenatal influenza vaccination induced mild, age-dependent behavioural alterations, such as increased circling in juveniles and reduced sociability in females, without detectable maternal or fetal inflammatory responses or changes in fetal neurotrophic markers. In contrast, maternal poly(I:C) administration provoked robust systemic inflammation and pronounced fetal brain effects, including elevated cytokines, CRP, P2X7 receptor, and region-specific microglial density, accompanied by persistent reductions in adult BDNF expression. Overall, within the limits of this experimental design, prenatal COVID-19 vaccination did not produce long-lasting ASD-like phenotypes or widespread neurodevelopmental alterations, while influenza vaccination had limited and transient effects. These findings are consistent with the absence of widespread or persistent neurodevelopmental disruption in this experimental model, although further studies-including multiple doses, gestational timepoints, and cellular-level analyses-are warranted to fully elucidate mechanisms and long-term outcomes.\n\nID: 42277158\nTitle: Does mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination in the subacute phase lead to microstructural brain changes? A prospective pilot MRI study using T1 relaxometry.\nAbstract: Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based vaccines delivered via lipid nanoparticles (LNP) were pivotal in managing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. While mild systemic reactions are common after vaccination, rare neurological complications have raised concerns about potential structural cerebral changes. This prospective pilot study tested the hypothesis that LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination does not induce significant microstructural cerebral changes in healthy adults. Dedicated 3 Tesla brain MRI was performed at three time points: up to one month before the first vaccination (t1), and 1-2 weeks (t2) and 2-3 months (t3) after the second dose of either BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273. Across 85 MRI scans from 29 initially SARS-CoV-2-seronegative adults, 2D T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, synthetic\u00a03D T1 magnetization prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echoes and 3D quantitative T1 mapping were analyzed. Changes in w matter hyperintensities (WMH) were evaluated visually (Prins scale) and semiquantitatively (Longitudinal Brain Imaging). Microstructural changes of deep and cortical gray matter and white matter were analyzed using qT1 values via paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. No new or progressive WMH nor significant intraindividual qT1 changes were observed. QT1% deviations were small (mean 0.1%, SD 0.9%; maximum 2.08%) and remained within established scan-rescan variability limits at 3 T. Apart from a 1\u00a0mm decrease of a preexisting WMH in one participant, no visually detectable structural brain alterations were observed. Our findings provide no evidence for WMH progression or microstructural cerebral changes after LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in healthy adults in the subacute phase.\n\nID: 42261850\nTitle: Myocarditis After mRNA Vaccination: A Metabolic-Innate Immune Cascade Centered on Lipid Nanoparticles.\nAbstract: mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis is a rare but clinically important adverse event whose pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Initial hypotheses focused primarily on the spike protein antigen, with growing preclinical evidence implicating the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system as an additional and potentially important contributor to myocardial inflammation. Here, we propose a multi-hit model that integrates LNP-driven mechanisms as a central pathogenic axis, initiated by the systemic distribution and accumulation of LNPs in the heart. While the mRNA payload is cleared within days, the synthetic ionizable lipids -ALC-0315 (BNT162b2) and SM-102 (mRNA-1273) persist significantly longer than the mRNA payload itself. These two lipids differ in biodegradability and pharmacokinetic distinctions, together with differences in lipid dose and formulation, they may contribute to the divergent myocarditis rates observed between the two vaccine products. In this suggesting review, the first hit\" involves the disruption of myocardial energy metabolism by these lipids, which can integrate into cellular membranes and impair mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. This is compounded by a second hit of direct innate immune activation, preclinical studies demonstrate that LNPs engage pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) like toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1\u03b2 and IL-18. Inflammation is then amplified via Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) released from stressed cardiomyocytes. The clinical outcome-ranging from self-limited mild myocarditis to fulminant disease with diverse histopathological patterns-is likely shaped by host susceptibility factors, including sex hormones, genetic predisposition, and prior immune priming, that modulate the intensity of this pathogenic cascade.\n\nID: 42252746\nTitle: Retrospective cohort study of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine-associated enhanced disease in the Vaccine Safety Datalink, 2021-23.\nAbstract: Vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED) was recognized as a theoretical risk when COVID-19 vaccines were authorized. Epidemiologic data can identify a signal for VAED if vaccine effectiveness (VE) is negative for preventing serious illness. In 2021, we initiated a cohort study to examine VAED indirectly by estimating VE against COVID-19\u00a0hospitalization and severe illness in the Vaccine Safety Datalink. The study cohort included VSD enrollees who were age-eligible to receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccine from February 2021-March 2023. Outcomes were initial COVID-19-associated hospital admission and severe in-hospital complications (acute respiratory distress or failure). VE was estimated by dose, variant period, and for early (14-119\u2009d) and late (\u2265120\u2009d) post-vaccination periods. VE was defined as 100*(1- adjusted hazard ratio). Relative VE (rVE) was estimated for bivalent vaccine versus \u22652 monovalent vaccine doses. The hospitalization analysis included all 16,027 enrollees with COVID-19\u00a0hospitalization and a 5% random sample of non-hospitalized enrollees who contributed person-time (n\u2009=\u2009138,238). Two-dose original monovalent VE against hospitalization exceeded 90% in most age groups during the pre-Delta and Delta periods. VE was lower during the Omicron period. During the Omicron BA.2/BA.4/BA.5/XBB period, a fourth monovalent dose or bivalent dose generated VE of 59%-78% across age groups with modest waning. rVE was 48%-60% across age groups for bivalent vaccine vs. \u22652 original monovalent doses. Overall, the results were similar for VE against severe in-hospital complication. In conclusion, there was no signal for VAED during any variant period or for any specific dose of monovalent or bivalent vaccine. A retrospective cohort study in the Vaccine Safety Datalink found that monovalent and bivalent COVID-19 mRNA vaccines generated substantial protection against COVID-19\u00a0hospitalization and severe in-hospital complications in adults during the pre-Delta, Delta, Omicron BA.1 and Omicron BA.2/BA.4/BA.5/XBB periods. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were not associated with any increase in severity of disease.\n\nID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease.\n\nID: 42245650\nTitle: Long-term immune response to mRNA anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with cancer.\nAbstract: Patients with cancer are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 but were underrepresented in pivotal vaccine trials. Data on the magnitude and determinants of immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in this population remain limited. I-SPARC is a prospective, phase IV clinical trial evaluating humoral and cellular immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in 115 patients with cancer, including those receiving systemic therapy and those in remission. Anti-Spike antibody titers were measured longitudinally, and immunophenotyping was performed to assess T and B cell subsets. Clinical outcomes, including SARS-CoV-2 infection, were recorded. All patients developed detectable anti-Spike antibodies, although absolute titers varied by cancer type and treatment. Patients with hematologic malignancies and/or receiving chemotherapy had the lowest anti-Spike antibody levels. Booster doses significantly increased titers, particularly in patients in remission or receiving non-cytotoxic therapies. Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and the number of vaccine doses were associated with better responses. Immunophenotyping confirmed vaccine-induced expansion of memory T and B lymphocyte subpopulations. SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred in 16% of our cohort, with infrequent severe cases. mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with cancer, despite variability according to disease type and treatment. These findings support the use of booster strategies and provide a rationale for tailored vaccination approaches in immunocompromised populations.\n\nID: 42236761\nTitle: Rational design of a modular mRNA vaccine platform for rapid adaptation to SARS-CoV-2 variants.\nAbstract: The ongoing emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants due to viral mutations poses a persistent challenge to the efficacy of existing vaccines. To address this challenge, we engineered and comprehensively tested three optimized mRNA vaccine candidates, evaluating the kinetics, quality, and magnitude of antibody responses as well as antigen-specific T cell immunity during a prime-boost vaccination regimen in mice. Among the tested candidates, TP2A encoding secreted receptor-binding domains (RBDs) derived from SARS-CoV-2 wild type (WT), Delta and Omicron variants demonstrated superior immunogenicity, inducing an early IgG2a-dominated antibody response against distinct SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein variants. In addition, TP2A elicited IFN-\u03b3-producing T cells in both spleen and draining lymph nodes and antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Notably, beyond broad immunity induced by the vaccine, TP2A functions as a modular platform, thus enabling flexible antigen assembly and rapid vaccine adaptation to newly emerging variants or even other viral pathogens. These findings position TP2A as a promising next-generation mRNA vaccine candidate.\n\nID: 42230492\nTitle: Effect of Modified Nucleotides on the Immunogenicity of the H1N1 Influenza mRNA Vaccine.\nAbstract: We analyzed the effect of modified nucleotides on the immunogenicity of mRNA vaccine encoding hemagglutinin of the influenza A/California/04/09(H1N1) pdm09 virus. Seven mRNA-H1 variants including the following modified bases in different ratios were obtained: N1-methylpseudouridine (m1\u03a8), pseudouridine (\u03a8), N6-methyladenine (m6A), and 5-methylcytidine (m5C). The efficacy of the resulting mRNA vaccines was assessed by their ability to induce specific antibodies and T-cell response in immunized mice. Virus-neutralizing activity was recorded in groups of animals immunized with mRNAs containing 100% m1\u03a8, 100% \u03a8, and 100% U. It was shown that mRNAs including 100% m1\u03a8 or 100% \u03a8 were more effective than other mRNA variants and induced potent B- and T-cell immune response.\n\nID: 42223472\nTitle: T-cell responses to primary SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in Down syndrome - From childhood to adulthood.\nAbstract: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic disorder worldwide and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. For safety reasons, SARS-CoV-2 vaccine schedules and dosages were age-dependent, with children <12\u2009years (y) receiving a lower dose than adolescents and adults. While we previously reported age-dependent antibody responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in children with DS, cellular vaccine responses in this population remain insufficiently characterized. We evaluated vaccine-induced T-cell responses in children with DS following primary mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. We measured SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell abundance (N\u2009=\u200940) and their interferon-gamma (IFN\u03b3) production (N\u2009=\u200955) after spike antigen re-stimulation in participants aged 3-74\u2009y. We found no significant difference in the re-activation of SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ T cells between adolescents (12-17\u2009y) and adults. Children aged 5-11\u2009y exhibited significantly lower re-activation of CD4+ T cells compared with adolescents. IFN\u03b3 production was similar across all age groups. Besides previously reported age-dependent antibody responses, these findings suggest that reduced dosing may also be associated with diminished T-cell re-activation in children with DS. Therefore, these children aged 5-11\u2009y may benefit from receiving a booster or vaccine doses similar to those of older age groups to ensure optimal immunity and protection.Clinical trial registration: NCT05145348.\n\nID: 42561218\nTitle: Temporal trend of influenza vaccination coverage among older adults in Brazil.\nAbstract: This study aimed to assess influenza vaccination coverage among older adults and its temporal trends in Brazil, its regions, and federative units from 2000 to 2019. This ecological time series study utilized data from the National Immunization Program Information System (SI-PNI). The sample comprised vaccine doses administered and the target population each study year, stratified by territorial unit. Vaccination coverage was calculated as the proportion of the target population effectively vaccinated, and temporal trends were assessed using the Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression model. Significant fluctuation in vaccination coverage was observed in Brazil, with the lowest coverage recorded in 2000 (72.53%) and the highest in 2018 (97.16%). Amap\u00e1 presented the highest average vaccination coverage over the period (95.51%), while S\u00e3o Paulo had the lowest (79.71%). Santa Catarina and S\u00e3o Paulo stood out for their highest annual variation in vaccination coverage, and increasing vaccination coverage trends were noted in 15 federative units of the country. In summary, influenza vaccination coverage among older adults showed fluctuations over 20 years, with a growing trend towards vaccination adherence in most federative units.\n\nID: 42560331\nTitle: Expanding the role of pharmacists as vaccinators in New Zealand: a retrospective analysis of influenza vaccination trends following policy change.\nAbstract: Pharmacy-based influenza vaccination became part of New Zealand's public vaccination programme in 2017, eliminating out-of-pocket costs to consumers. This study evaluated trends in pharmacy-based influenza vaccination among adults aged \u226565 in New Zealand following the 2017 funding policy change, with the aim of examining whether the availability of government-funded influenza vaccination increased pharmacy-based vaccination in this population. Data on influenza vaccinations administered between 2015 and 2021 to adults \u226565 were provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Health from the National Immunisation Register. Descriptive analyses were employed to assess the absolute number and percentage of vaccinations given by each provider type from 2015 through 2021 to document trends after the public funding policy change and in the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of influenza vaccinations administered increased from 322\u2009161 in 2015 to 525\u2009769 in 2021. After public funding for influenza vaccination began in pharmacies, annual physician- and nurse-administered vaccinations ranged from 401\u2009840 to 426\u2009005 and 12\u2009590 to 19\u2009586, respectively, between 2018 and 2021, while pharmacist-administered vaccinations steadily increased from 16\u2009042 to 96\u2009343. The percentage of influenza vaccinations administered by pharmacists grew from nearly 0% in 2015 to 3.7% in 2018 and 18.3% in 2021. Research findings suggest that public funding for pharmacist-administered influenza vaccinations contributed to expanding overall influenza vaccine access in New Zealand among adults \u226565. In addition, the increase in pharmacist-delivered vaccinations did not negatively impact vaccinations administered by traditional providers, further demonstrating the value and growing role of pharmacies in advancing national immunization efforts.\n\nID: 42560073\nTitle: Neutralizing and protective monoclonal antibodies identify antigenic sites in influenza H7 hemagglutinin and select for amino acid substitutions rarely observed at the global level.\nAbstract: Avian influenza viruses of the H7 subtype infect a variety of avian as well as mammalian species, and a better understanding of H7 virus antigenicity and immunogenicity is vital to the development of effective countermeasures for a potential H7 pandemic threat. We have developed a diverse panel of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the H7 hemagglutinin (HA) and characterized these mAbs for the HA epitope(s) that they bind, their neutralizing activity in vitro against several strains of H7, and their ability to provide protection against virus challenge in vivo. The majority of the isolated mAbs recognized antigenic sites A and B on the globular head of the influenza HA, but mAbs were also isolated to non-canonical sites on HA. Escape viruses generated against the mAbs were used to further define the antigenic sites on the H7 HA, and notably, we find that most amino acid substitutions identified in these escape viruses are rare at the global level. Finally, we used a polyclonal antibody generated by virus infection to assess whether antibody binding and neutralization were impacted by individual amino acid substitutions in the HA of escape viruses generated by the mAbs. The results showed that all of the escape viruses, each of which carried a single amino acid substitution, were still effectively neutralized by polyclonal antibodies, suggesting that the antibody response to H7 infection was broad and redundant.IMPORTANCEInfluenza H7 viruses infect a variety of avian and mammalian species, and present a potential threat to human health. We used a panel of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to facilitate the identification of important protective epitopes on the H7 hemagglutinin (HA). While most of the antibodies bind to antigenic sites A and B on the H7 HA that correspond to well-characterized cognate sites on influenza H3, some antibodies appear to recognize new epitopes in HA distinct from those known antigenic sites. We also identified amino acid substitutions in escape viruses selected by these mAbs and evaluated their impact in the context of polyclonal responses and natural H7 virus evolution over a >60-year period. Taken together, the results add to our understanding of influenza H7 virus antigenicity and immunogenicity, and may have positive implications for successful H7 vaccine development.\n\nID: 42560010\nTitle: Effectiveness of Influenza Vaccines and Duration of Protection Against Hospitalisation During the 2024/25 Season in Northern Ireland, UK.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes substantial morbidity and hospitalisation each year. We estimated influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) against laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalisation among patients in Northern Ireland (NI) during the 2024/25 influenza season. We used a test-negative design to estimate VE against hospitalisation. Influenza-positive cases and test-negative controls were identified through the national laboratory surveillance system and linked to hospital admission and vaccination records. VE was estimated by influenza type/subtype, age group, sex, vaccine type and time since vaccination. Among 15,133 hospitalised patients, 2024 (13.4%) tested positive for influenza. Among the 2024 patients admitted with laboratory-confirmed influenza, the vast majority tested positive for influenza A (n\u2009=\u20091803; 89.1%), whereas 221 cases (10.9%) were influenza B. Subtyping of influenza A identified 606 A(H1) infections and 93 A(H3) infections; the remaining 1104 influenza A samples were not subtyped. VE against laboratory-confirmed influenza infection was 46.0% (95% CI: 39.7% to 51.8%), with higher VE in children aged 2-17\u2009years (60.8%; 95% CI: 48.3% to 70.5%) than in adults aged 18-64\u2009years (40.5%; 95% CI: 24.9% to 53.2%) and \u2265\u200965\u2009years (42.3%; 95% CI: 33.2% to 50.1%). VE against influenza A across all ages was 41.4% (95% CI: 34.2% to 47.9%). Vaccination reduced the odds of hospitalisation due to influenza A(H1) by 44.3% (95% CI: 33.2% to 53.7%) and A(H3) by 49.9% (95% CI: 20.3% to 69.3%). VE against influenza B was higher at 76.4% (95% CI: 64.9% to 84.7%). For influenza A, VE was highest 2-8\u2009weeks after vaccination at 51.9% (95% CI: 42.1% to 60.1%) and declined with time since vaccination to 44.6% (95% CI: 35.6% to 52.5%) at 9-16\u2009weeks and 41.4% (95% CI: 15.4% to 60.1%) at \u2265\u200916\u2009weeks. VE against influenza B remained high throughout the season. No statistically significant differences in VE by vaccine type were found. Influenza vaccination reduced the risk of hospitalisation with laboratory-confirmed influenza during the 2024/25 season, offering meaningful protection at individual and population levels, with the greatest benefit observed in children.\n\nID: 42559254\nTitle: Reprogramming FGFR isoform specificity in FGF2 by deep mutational scanning.\nAbstract: The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family exhibits distinct yet overlapping specificities toward seven fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) isoforms, forming highly complex signaling networks through broad binding and activation profiles. FGF2 plays important physiological roles and has considerable therapeutic potential; however, its pleiotropic and non-selective activation of FGFRs can lead to adverse effects. Therefore, molecular engineering of FGF ligands with controlled receptor isoform specificity is required. Here, we engineered FGF2 variants with altered FGFR isoform specificity using mRNA display-based deep mutational scanning (DMS), thereby enabling systematic evaluation of residues within the FGFR-binding interface that contribute to FGFR isoform specificity despite limited structural information. We demonstrate for the first time that FGFs with altered FGFR isoform specificity can be generated. Notably, FGFR isoform specificity proved malleable and could be reprogrammed by single-amino acid substitutions. These findings reveal that receptor selectivity in FGF2 is tunable and provide a framework for rationally designing FGF ligands with tailored FGFR isoform specificity, advancing the understanding and control of complex FGF/FGFR signaling networks.\n\nID: 42556594\nTitle: mRNA Vaccines Targeting HPV E6/E7: A New Frontier in Cervical Cancer Immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, particularly high-risk types 16 and 18, are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases worldwide. Despite the availability of effective prophylactic vaccines, therapeutic interventions for established HPV-associated malignancies remain limited. This mini-review synthesizes recent advances (2020-2026) in mRNA-LNP vaccine development targeting the HPV E6 and E7 oncoproteins. We examine the mechanistic basis for targeting E6/E7, technological advantages of mRNA-LNP platforms, and key preclinical evidence demonstrating potent T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity. Recent clinical progress, including BioNTech's BNT113 vaccine which received FDA Fast Track designation for HPV16-positive head and neck cancer, is discussed alongside ongoing challenges in delivery optimization, tumor microenvironment immunosuppression, and manufacturing scalability. The review concludes with future perspectives on combination strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors and the potential for personalized neoantigen approaches.\n\nID: 42555398\nTitle: Respiratory syncytial virus inhibits type I interferon signaling to maintain HLA-DM expression in CD1c+ dendritic cells.\nAbstract: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection often elicits ineffective long-term immune responses due to inefficient immune priming, complicating disease management and vaccine development. Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of antiviral immunity and antigen presentation; yet, the direct impact of RSV on these pathways remains poorly understood. In this study, we identify sustained HLA-DM expression as a unique hallmark of RSV infected CD1c+ DCs, a phenotype not observed following influenza infection or poly(I:C) stimulation. Using single cell RNA sequencing, pharmacological inhibition, and complementary controls, we demonstrate that TBK1 dependent Type I Interferon signaling is a key regulator of HLA-DM expression during DC maturation. Co-culture experiments further suggest that HLA-DM-high DCs influence CD4+ T cell differentiation, supporting a model in which sustained HLA-DM expression reshapes antigen presentation and downstream adaptive immunity. Together, these findings uncover a previously unknown link between innate antiviral signaling and antigen presentation machinery in human DCs.\n\nID: 42555152\nTitle: From policy to practice: Systemic solutions to strengthen maternal immunization in sub-Saharan Africa.\nAbstract: Maternal immunization confers dual protection on pregnant women and their newborns through transplacental antibody transfer, yet vaccination coverage across sub-Saharan Africa remains critically inadequate. Two intersecting crises drive this gap: vaccine hesitancy, rooted in historical distrust and pervasive misinformation, and vaccine scarcity, driven by supply chain fragility and infrastructural deficits. Sub-Saharan Africa bears approximately 70% of global maternal deaths and 57% of neonatal deaths worldwide, with an estimated 200\u2009000 vaccine-preventable neonatal deaths annually. This narrative review examines the causes and impacts of both crises and reviews the evidence base for key maternal vaccines including tetanus toxoid, Anti-D immunoglobulin, influenza, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), and respiratory syncytial virus. Drawing on a conceptual pathway model, we present a six-pillar framework addressing structural determinants, prenatal care integration, workforce capacity, supply chain modernization, community engagement, and equity-focused monitoring. We conclude with a call to action for concerted, multi-stakeholder intervention to build a resilient and equitable maternal immunization ecosystem across the region.\n\nID: 42554770\nTitle: Identification and computational analysis of B-cell epitopes on the hemagglutinin protein of the H3N2 influenza virus.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a highly infectious enveloped RNA virus that primarily causes respiratory disease. Continuous antigenic variation in influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) is a major driver of influenza pandemics. Therefore, precise identification of B-cell epitopes within HA is essential for developing diagnostic tools and vaccine candidates that can help limit further influenza spread. In the present study, an integrated experimental and bioinformatics strategy was used. A trimeric HA protein was rationally designed to improve antigenicity and immunogenicity, expressed in a mammalian eukaryotic expression system, and purified by Ni-affinity chromatography. After animal immunization, nine HA-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), namely 5D5, 6B8, 9E7, 13F8, 14C3, 15F6, 16B5, 17H7, and 20C5, were generated. These mAbs specifically recognized HA protein in western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFA). B-cell epitopes on HA were subsequently mapped using these mAbs by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dot-blot, western blotting, and IFA. Six previously unreported linear B-cell epitopes were identified: 21GNDNSTATL29, 41IVKTITNDR49, 116YDVPDYASL124, 382DLKSTQAAI390, 458SEMNKLFEK466, and 488KCDNACIGS496. Bioinformatics analysis further revealed the spatial distribution and structural characteristics of these epitope regions on HA. These findings expand the current understanding of HA epitopes and provide a theoretical basis for developing IAV subunit vaccines and highly sensitive detection methods.\n\nID: 42553490\nTitle: Engineering Organoid Platforms for Pathogenesis Research.\nAbstract: Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases ranging from the 1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic to the recent SARS-CoV-2 and monkeypox virus outbreaks continue to pose profound threats to global public health. These crises underscore the critical need for high-fidelity and human-relevant infection models. Organoid technology has emerged as a cornerstone platform for pathogen research by faithfully recapitulating the 3-dimensional architecture and physiological microenvironment of native human tissues in\u00a0vitro. This review systematically examines the development and structural refinement of organoid-based infection models with an emphasis on evidence-based strategies for stem cell source selection, extracellular matrix optimization, and dynamic culture system engineering. Such advancements enable the robust generation of multi-organ models including respiratory, intestinal, and neural organoids tailored for investigating viral tropism, spatiotemporal infection kinetics, and host immune responses. Furthermore, we evaluate the translational utility of organoids in high-throughput antiviral drug screening and preclinical vaccine assessment. To further enhance physiological relevance and functional fidelity, organoid platforms are being increasingly combined with advanced engineering strategies, including coculture approaches, CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genetic perturbation, engineered microphysiological systems (such as organ-on-a-chip), and 3D bioprinting. These integrated technologies improve biomimicry while expanding experimental controllability and scalability. In addition, we critically examine the major bottlenecks limiting clinical translation and discuss emerging frontiers driven by artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. Through iterative technological refinement and cross-disciplinary convergence, organoids have evolved beyond reductionist in\u00a0vitro surrogates into physiologically informed and mechanism-driven platforms that advance our understanding of host-pathogen interactions while enhancing global preparedness against emerging pathogens.\n\nID: 42553356\nTitle: Estimation of populations at risk for severe influenza and vaccination coverage in Mexico, 2010-2021.\nAbstract: Influenza remains an important cause of morbidity among populations with underlying medical conditions associated with increased risk of severe disease. This study aimed to estimate the size of populations eligible for influenza vaccination according to the Mexican Universal Vaccination Program and to evaluate vaccination coverage gaps among populations at risk in Mexico between 2010 and 2021. A retrospective analytical study was conducted using epidemiological and administrative healthcare databases from Mexican public healthcare institutions. Population estimates were constructed using prevalence-based epidemiological projections, healthcare system records, and attended patient data from populations at risk. Descriptive analyses and time-series modeling were performed to evaluate vaccination coverage patterns and healthcare demand over time. Across all analyzed populations at risk, the number of individuals receiving healthcare services was consistently lower than the number of notified cases and substantially lower than prevalence-based epidemiological estimates. Vaccination coverage varied considerably across populations at risk and remained incomplete throughout the study period. In 2021, although approximately 12.5 million influenza vaccine doses were administered among populations at risk, a substantial proportion of potentially eligible individuals remained unvaccinated. Forecasting analyses suggested a progressive increase in healthcare demand among populations at risk over time. Important gaps persist between the estimated population at risk, diagnosed individuals, healthcare utilization, and influenza vaccination coverage in Mexico. The analytical framework proposed in this study integrates epidemiological prevalence estimates, healthcare utilization patterns, and vaccination data to identify unmet vaccination needs and may support improved public health planning, prioritization strategies, and strengthening of influenza vaccination programs in Mexico and similar settings.\n\nID: 42551810\nTitle: The ELAVL gene family in large yellow croaker: LcELAVL1a is an immune-active member with direct antibacterial and cell-protective functions.\nAbstract: The embryonic lethal abnormal vision-like (ELAVL) gene family encodes a group of conserved RNA-binding proteins involved in post-transcriptional regulation and immune function. In this study, five ELAVL family members (Lcelavl1a, Lcelavl1b, Lcelavl2, Lcelavl3, and Lcelavl4) were identified and characterized in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). The five members exhibited a progressive motif distribution pattern and typical RNA recognition motif (RRM)-fold architectures, and phylogenetic analysis confirmed their orthologous relationships with ELAVL proteins in other vertebrates, indicating that the ELAVL family is highly conserved among teleosts. Among these five members, Lcelavl1a showed significantly higher expression levels during Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida infection, suggesting an important immune-related role. It was therefore selected for further functional investigation. Lcelavl1a was detected in all nine examined tissues, with the highest expression in the gonads. Following Vibrio parahaemolyticus challenge, Lcelavl1a was significantly upregulated in the head kidney, spleen, liver, and gill. Recombinant LcELAVL1a (rELAVL1a) inhibited the growth of V. parahaemolyticus, Edwardsiella tarda, and Staphylococcus aureus in a concentration-dependent manner and bound directly to all three bacterial species, indicating broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. At the cellular level, overexpression of Lcelavl1a in large yellow croaker kidney cells (PCK) elevated the basal mRNA levels of il-1\u03b2, il-6, and tnf-\u03b1, and reduced bacteria-induced cell injury. Moreover, rELAVL1a treatment improved the viability of bacteria-infected PCK cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that LcELAVL1a functions as an immune-active protein in large yellow croaker and provide new insights into the functional diversity of the ELAVL family in teleost fish.\n\nID: 42551401\nTitle: Intersection of vaccination, health literacy, education, and communication in South America: A scientometric mapping.\nAbstract: Vaccination-related challenges have become increasingly prominent worldwide, yet the temporal evolution and structural organization of the corresponding scientific literature in South America remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to systematically map and analyze the evolution of scientific production at the intersection of vaccination, health literacy, education, and communication in South America between 2015 and 2025, identifying temporal shifts, thematic structures, geographic asymmetries, and collaboration patterns including SARS-CoV-2 pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases. A systematic mapping analysis with an integrated scientometric approach was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published between January 2015 and November 2025. After duplicate removal, 476 records were screened by two independent reviewers, and 80 studies were included for thematic and network analysis using VOSviewer. Scientific production expanded substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic and showed marked shifts in the prominence and co-occurrence of vaccination-related terms. Before 2020, research primarily focused on vaccination coverage, influenza immunization, and educational interventions. During the pandemic, the literature expanded and incorporated a broader range of terms related to COVID-19, fear, information and vaccine hesitancy. In the post-pandemic period, the research agenda showed renewed attention to childhood immunization, vaccination coverage and regional knowledge gaps. Scientific output remains geographically concentrated, particularly in Brazil, and collaboration networks display structural fragmentation. The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the mapped South American vaccination research landscape, expanding its thematic scope without overcoming geographic concentration or fragmented collaboration.\n\nID: 42551193\nTitle: ceRNA network of lncRNAs and mRNAs in OSF-to-OSCC progression: Diagnostic biomarkers and functional pathways.\nAbstract: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic potentially malignant disorder that can progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Although dysregulated non-coding RNAs have been implicated in oral carcinogenesis, the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)-mediated regulatory mechanisms underlying OSF-to-OSCC progression remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify candidate regulatory molecules and construct a putative lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network associated with malignant transformation. Publicly available microarray datasets (GSE117973 and GSE125866) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes between OSF and OSCC. Differentially expressed transcripts were classified into mRNAs and lncRNAs based on public transcript annotations. Highly correlated lncRNA-mRNA pairs were identified using Pearson correlation analysis and integrated with multiMiR-supported miRNA-mRNA interactions obtained from public databases to construct a putative ceRNA regulatory network. Functional characterization focused on apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and immune checkpoint-related pathways. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate diagnostic performance, and selected biomarkers were externally validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) OSCC cohort. Integrated transcriptomic analysis identified several dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs associated with OSF-to-OSCC progression. Network analysis highlighted TBC1D3B, RREB1, TEAD3, SREBF1, TMEM41B, FOXK2, and KIAA1958 as prominent hub genes within the putative regulatory network. Functional analyses demonstrated significant associations with apoptosis-, EMT-, and immune checkpoint-related genes, suggesting potential involvement in multiple biological processes contributing to malignant transformation. Several hub genes exhibited strong diagnostic performance, with ROC analysis yielding AUC values ranging from 0.891 to 1.000, indicating excellent discrimination between OSF and OSCC samples. External validation using TCGA further supported the relevance of the identified biomarkers in OSCC. This study provides a comprehensive transcriptomic framework describing putative lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory interactions associated with OSF progression to OSCC. The identified hub genes and regulatory networks represent candidate biomarkers for early detection and provide a foundation for future mechanistic and experimental validation. As the proposed ceRNA interactions are computationally inferred, further biological validation is required before clinical application.\n\nID: 42550738\nTitle: The effect of short message reminders on seasonal influenza vaccination rates in the geriatric population.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes substantial morbidity and mortality in older adults, yet vaccination coverage in this population remains low. This study evaluated the association between short message service (SMS)-based informational and reminder messages and influenza vaccination uptake among adults aged 65 y and older. In this single-center prospective study, an SMS reminder was sent at the beginning of the 2024-2025 influenza season to 1690 individuals aged\u2009\u226565 y who had attended a family medicine outpatient clinic during the previous season. Demographic characteristics and prior-season influenza vaccination status were obtained from electronic medical records. At the end of the season, participants were contacted by telephone, and 338 individuals who completed follow-up were included in the final analysis. Influenza vaccination uptake increased from 16.9% in the 2023-2024 season to 31.4% in the 2024-2025 season, corresponding to an absolute increase of 14.5% points (p\u2009<\u2009.001). Among individuals vaccinated in the previous season, 52.6% were vaccinated again, while 27.0% of those unvaccinated in the previous season received the vaccine in the current season. In age-stratified analyses, the increase was significant in the young-old group (65-74 y) but not in the older age groups. In binary logistic regression analysis, prior-season influenza vaccination was the only factor significantly associated with current-season vaccination (OR,2.960; 95% CI,1.650-5.309; p\u2009<\u2009.001). Influenza vaccination uptake was significantly higher during the season in which SMS reminders were sent, suggesting that text messaging may support vaccination coverage among older adults, although additional age-tailored strategies may be needed for older subgroups.\n\nID: 42550684\nTitle: Protocol for in vitro chemoenzymatic synthesis of thiazole-containing macrocyclic peptides via ribosomal incorporation of thioamides.\nAbstract: Backbone thiazole moieties (Thz) are prevalent structural features in peptidic natural products and contribute to favorable physicochemical properties. Here, we describe a protocol for in vitro chemoenzymatic synthesis of artificial Thz-containing macrocyclic peptides compatible with mRNA display workflows. We provide steps for preparing amino(thio)acid substrates and flexizyme-mediated tRNA acylation. We then detail procedures for ribosomal incorporation of thioamide linkages, spontaneous thioether macrocyclization and concomitant backbone thiazoline (Thn) formation, and enzymatic dehydrogenation of Thn to Thz to afford Thz-containing macrocycles. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Saito et al.1.\n\nID: 42550375\nTitle: Paternal lead exposure induces transgenerational oxidative stress and down-regulation of antioxidant genes in Drosophila melanogaster.\nAbstract: Lead (Pb) is one of the most prevalent environmental toxicants and is of great concern due to its adverse effects. Despite lead's oxidative properties, studies on the transgenerational effects of paternal Pb exposure remain inadequate. This study aimed to evaluate these effects on oxidative stress and the expression of specific genes using the D. melanogaster model. Male fruit flies were fed a normal diet supplemented with lead acetate as the Pb source for 20 consecutive days. The Pb-exposed males were mated with unexposed females, producing F1 offspring. F1 flies were fed a normal diet, and then bred to produce F2; F3 was produced from F2. All F1-F3 generations were kept on a normal diet, with no Pb exposure. Antioxidant parameters, including vitamins A, C, and E; reduced glutathione (GSH); catalase; superoxide dismutase (SOD); malondialdehyde (MDA); and the expression of CAT and SOD1 mRNA, were evaluated. There was a significant (p\u2009<\u20090.05) decrease in antioxidant vitamin levels, GSH content, and catalase and SOD activities across F1-F3 due to exposure to the grandparent (F0). Similarly, a significant (p\u2009<\u20090.05) elevation in MDA levels was observed across the F1-F3 generations due to exposure of the F0 generation. Significant down-regulation of the antioxidant genes CAT and SOD1 was also detected. The findings indicate persistent transgenerational alterations in oxidative stress biomarkers and antioxidant gene expression resulting from paternal Pb exposure. This underscores the importance of studying multiple generations to assess the health and environmental risks posed by pollutants.\n\nID: 42549821\nTitle: Theranostic innovation in infectious lung diseases: integrating biotechnology and nanotechnology for precision medicine.\nAbstract: Introduction: Infectious lung diseases, including pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), COVID-19, influenza, and emerging fungal infections, are major causes of illness and death worldwide. Traditional methods have serious limitations such as diagnostic delays, antimicrobial resistance, and non-targeted therapy. Theranostics offers a transformative precision medicine paradigm for pulmonary infections. This review looks closely at how biotechnology and nanotechnology synergistically advance theranostic strategies for infectious lung diseases. We explore biotechnological tools including CRISPR-Cas systems, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for detecting specific pathogens and intervening directly. We also discuss nanotechnological platforms such as nanosensors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and various nanocarriers (lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, metallic nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and biomimetic systems) for drug, gene, and vaccine delivery with better targeting, controlled release, and imaging capabilities. Integrated case studies across major diseases, including COVID-19, influenza, TB, pneumonia, COPD, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, demonstrate effective theranostic applications. We also address associated challenges like safety, manufacturing, regulatory hurdles, and economic feasibility. The combination of biotechnology and nanotechnology represents a paradigm shift toward personalized pulmonary medicine. Future success needs to develop smart, multi-stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms, integrating artificial intelligence for predictive modeling and treatment optimization, and establishing closed-loop theranostic systems that connect real-time diagnostics with adaptive therapies. Key priorities include standardized preclinical models, clear regulations for combination products, and health economic analyses demonstrating cost-effectiveness. Interdisciplinary collaboration among material scientists, molecular biologists, clinicians, and regulatory specialists will be essential to translate these promising platforms from bench to bedside.\n\nID: 42549065\nTitle: Antagonistic Activity of Anandamide on Tat-treated Human Astrocytes Identifies Inflammaging Pathways: Anandamide Affects Aging Pathways.\nAbstract: The endocannabinoid system can suppress inflammatory environment by regulating inflammatory mechanisms in immune and glial cells. Astrocytes secrete soluble inflammatory mediators. Prolonged activation of astrocytes is associated with accelerated aging in the central nervous system. MicroRNAs are increasingly shown to be critical gene regulators during inflammation and gliosis. In this study, we investigated the microRNA changes affected by anandamide (AEA), a dominant endocannabinoid in normal human astrocytes, following exposure to the HIV-1 Tat (Trans-activator of transcription) protein. We performed global human microRNA profiling in Tat-activated astrocytes on exposure to AEA. To delineate the mechanism of action, we utilized the bioinformatic tools miRWalk, KEGG, and Cytoscape to assess the global microarray data for significantly impacted miRNAs and their gene targets at the mRNA level. Tat-induced activation significantly upregulated 122 miRNAs (P < 0.05) in astrocytes. Conversely, the addition of AEA in activated astrocytes significantly downregulated the expression of 57 miRNAs. Out of 122 miRNAs upregulated by Tat treatment, 37 miRNAs that were common to Tat and Tat+AEA cells showed reversed expression, suggesting these might be the critical miRNAs with a key role in the AEA-induced mitigation of neuroinflammation. Reversed expression of a selected group of miRNAs identifies antagonistic pathways that promote an anti-inflammatory environment. Pathway analysis of these 37 key miRNAs showed gene targets that regulate inflammation and senescence.\n\nID: 42548923\nTitle: Evaluating the Protective Effects of Influenza Vaccination in Pregnant Women and Their Infants: An Umbrella Review.\nAbstract: Maternal influenza immunization is a primary strategy for protecting mothers and infants under six months, though its comprehensive efficacy and safety profiles undergo continuous evaluation. However, the reliability of current evidence is moderated by varying degrees of primary study overlap across existing reviews. Five electronic databases-PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Scopus-were systematically searched up to August 2024. Study eligibility and quality were assessed using the ROBIS tool. To ensure the integrity of the findings and address potential primary study overlap, the Corrected Covered Area (CCA) formula was applied. Eleven systematic reviews and meta-analyses were evaluated. Maternal influenza vaccination may reduce the risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza (LCI) in both mothers and infants; however, no clear effect was observed on influenza-like illness (ILI). Vaccination is generally associated with a reduced risk of fetal mortality and no consistent evidence suggests a significant increase in congenital anomalies or spontaneous abortion. Maternal influenza vaccination may modestly reduce preterm birth risk, shows no clear effect on small for gestational age, and is associated with reduced low birth weight (LBW). The studies on influenza vaccination in pregnant women showed high overlap for LCI (0.66), infant LCI (0.50), and varying overlap for stillbirth (0.38), congenital anomalies (0.28), spontaneous abortion (0.23), premature birth (0.13), SGA (0.27), and LBW (0.14). Influenza vaccination during pregnancy effectively reduces LCI in mothers and infants without increasing adverse neonatal outcomes, though its impact on ILI remains inconsistent. Due to high study overlap and variable quality, further large-scale research is required to confirm effects on preterm birth and congenital anomalies.\n\nID: 42548815\nTitle: Mucosal immune cell priming by intranasally delivered Haemophilus haemolyticus is associated with heterologous protection against influenza and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae.\nAbstract: Intranasal vaccines offer a needle-free strategy to enhance immunity to respiratory infections. We investigated the mechanism of action of a novel intranasal vaccine using the human respiratory commensal Haemophilus haemolyticus (Hh), previously shown to protect against nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) otitis media and accelerate clearance of influenza A virus (IAV). Mucosal and systemic cellular immune responses were assessed 2-144 hours after intranasal Hh treatment in mice, compared with placebo or the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR)2-6 agonist Pam2CSK4 using spectral flow cytometry. The impact of treatment on subsequent IAV and NTHi challenge was also evaluated. Hh induced a distinct, tissue-specific immune signature with rapid recruitment of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes to the lungs, peaking at 6 hours, earlier than Pam2CSK4. Hh also generated higher proportions of nasal CD103+CD4+ T cells within 48 hours, which further expanded following sequential IAV and NTHi infection. These findings demonstrate that Hh primes mucosal immune responses to promote heterologous protection.\n\nID: 42548171\nTitle: Integrated Bioinformatic and Experimental Analysis Reveals the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying KDM1B/LSD2 Inhibition as a Therapeutic Strategy in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma.\nAbstract: Lung cancer remains a major global health challenge, and the oncogenic function of KDM1B (Lysine-specific Demethylase 1B) is still poorly characterized. This study employed integrated bioinformatics and experimental approaches to investigate KDM1B's function in lung cancer. Pan-cancer analysis using databases such as TIMER revealed notably elevated KDM1B mRNA expression in LUAD datasets, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic biomarker. A strong association was also found between increased KDM1B levels and immune cell infiltration in LUAD datasets. Protein interaction networks constructed using STRING and Cytoscape revealed close associations between KDM1B and key regulatory genes in NSCLC. KEGG enrichment analysis linked KDM1B to the mTOR signaling, which is critical for cell proliferation and survival. RT-PCR and western blotting for experimental validation showed KDM1B expression was significantly increased in A549 and NCI-H460 lung cancer cells. The deletion of KDM1B inhibits cell growth, induces G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, and promotes apoptosis in A54 cells. Moreover, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited by the KDM1B inhibitor, tranylcypromine, and induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, increased apoptosis, ROS, and glycolytic activity in A549 cells. Collectively, these findings highlight KDM1B as a valuable therapeutic target in lung adenocarcinoma and emphasize its key role in lung cancer development.\n\nID: 42547352\nTitle: Corrigendum to \"Immunogenicity of mRNA encoded MUC1 glycopeptides toward CAR-T cells\" [Eur. J. Cell Biol. 105 (2026) 151543].\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42547175\nTitle: Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in Older Adults.\nAbstract: Older adults are at an increased risk of vaccine-preventable diseases partly because of physiologic changes in the immune and other body systems related to age and/or accumulating comorbidities that increase the vulnerability to infections and decrease the response to vaccines. Strategies to improve the response to vaccines include using a higher antigenic dose (such as in the high-dose inactivated influenza vaccines) as well as adding adjuvants (such as MF59 in the adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine).\n\nID: 42547013\nTitle: Kid suckling versus artificial rearing: Effects in Damascus goat milk production parameters and the mammary gland transcriptome.\nAbstract: This study investigates the effect of mixed systems (suckling and machine milking) vs artificial rearing (only machine milking), on milk production, milk composition and the transcriptome of the mammary epithelium in Damascus goats. Thirty goats, in their first lactation period, were allocated into 2 experimental groups: artificial rearing (AR) and mixed rearing (MR). In the AR group, kids were separated from their mothers immediately after birth, whereas in the MR group, the goats suckled their kids until weaning (49 \u00b1 3 d postpartum) while all goats were mechanically milked twice daily throughout the milking period. Commercial milk yield and milk fat, protein, lactose and total solid contents were recorded and milk fatty acid (FA) profile was analyzed. On the 42nd day postpartum, mammary epithelial biopsies were taken from 6 goats per experimental group for transcriptomic analysis by 3'mRNA sequencing. The results showed that while commercial milk yield before weaning was higher (P <0.05) in the AR (116.58L) compared with the MR group (73.16L), total commercial milk yield for the whole lactation period did not differ significantly between AR (351.3L) and MR groups (312.2L). Milk contents did not differ between groups (P >0.05) but total protein, lactose, solid nonfat yields were higher (P <0.05) in the AR group. Analysis of the FA profile revealed lower saturated, higher unsaturated and monosaturated FA contents in the MR group (P <0.05), while no differences were observed in the polyunsaturated FA content. The transcriptomic analysis revealed 9 differentially expressed (DE) genes (RBM8A, Clusterin, PPDPF, LOC108635834, BLMH, PINK1, PIM1, OSBPL7, and SMU1) and 12 genes showing a trend for DE. The genes which were differentially regulated in response to kid suckling are involved in developmental processes, RNA metabolism, nutrient and lipid transport and tissue regeneration. In conclusion, this study showed that kid suckling in Damascus goats does not adversely affect commercial milk production or milk composition, while it yields commercial milk with a nutritionally more favorable fatty acid profile. Furthermore, this is the first transcriptomic study addressing concurrent suckling and machine milking effects in mammary physiology in ruminants.\n\nID: 42546945\nTitle: Gene-activated porous scaffolds integrating SOX9 mRNA lipid nanoparticles enable uniformly distributed ectopic chondrogenesis in subcutaneous model.\nAbstract: The clinical translation of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies for cartilage repair is limited by inefficient lineage specification and the frequent formation of mechanically inferior fibrocartilage. Here, we present a gene-activated scaffold strategy that couples transient mRNA delivery with a structurally defined biomaterial to program ectopic chondrogenesis. Lipid nanoparticle-mediated delivery of SOX9 mRNA within a microfluidically engineered porous scaffold induces a transcriptional response in MSCs, initiating a chondrogenic program without the need for sustained growth factor stimulation. In three-dimensional spheroid and scaffold models, SOX9 mRNA drives robust upregulation of cartilage-specific genes, including ACAN and COL2A1, while limiting fibrocartilage- and hypertrophy-associated markers. Transcriptomic analysis reveals that this response is characterized by coordinated activation of extracellular matrix organization and regulatory signaling pathways, consistent with the establishment of a self-reinforcing differentiation trajectory. Importantly, this transcriptional program is preserved within the scaffold microenvironment, enabling efficient ectopic lineage specification. Following subcutaneous implantation, MSC-laden scaffolds exhibit progressive extracellular matrix deposition, sustained expression of chondrogenic markers, and the formation of lacunae-like structures over time, indicative of tissue maturation. While this ectopic model does not recapitulate the native joint environment, the persistence of cartilage-like features supports the durability of the initial transcriptional programming. Together, these findings demonstrate that a transient mRNA-encoded transcriptional cue, when combined with a permissive three-dimensional scaffold, is sufficient to initiate and sustain chondrogenesis across biological scales. This work establishes a framework for mRNA-enabled biomaterials to direct cell fate and provides a foundation for the development of single-stage strategies for cartilage regeneration.\n\nID: 42546898\nTitle: Adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines had comparable effectiveness against test-confirmed influenza outcomes including hospitalizations in overall and high-risk older adults in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons.\nAbstract: Evaluate relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (aQIV) versus high-dose QIV (HD-QIV) in preventing test-confirmed influenza during 2023-2024 in any setting and emergency department (ED)/hospitalization settings, as well as in preventing hospitalizations in overall and high-risk older adults in a pooled analysis from 2022-2024. This retrospective test-negative design study included US adults aged \u226565 years vaccinated with aQIV or HD-QIV who presented with acute respiratory or febrile illness and were tested for influenza per routine care. The rVE of aQIV versus HD-QIV was evaluated combining inverse probability of treatment weighting and logistic regression to adjust for potential confounders. The 2023-2024 season included 37,377 vaccinated and tested individuals (3,174 cases; 34,203 controls). rVE of aQIV versus HD-QIV was -0.9% (95% CI: -9.9, 7.3) in any setting and 0.5% (-12.1, 11.6) in ED/hospitalization settings. For pooled analyses of hospitalizations, rVE was -0.5% (-13.4, 10.9) overall and -1.3% (-14.4, 10.4) in the high-risk subgroup. aQIV and HD-QIV provided comparable protection for prevention of test-confirmed influenza among older adults in any and ED/hospitalization settings in the 2023-2024 season and for hospitalizations in overall and high-risk older adults in pooled 2022-2024 analyses.\n\nID: 42546637\nTitle: Switching the default: a formative evaluation of pre-booked appointments on COVID-19 vaccination uptake and effects on intended uptake.\nAbstract: In autumn 2023, COVID-19 vaccination invitations in the Netherlands shifted from self-scheduling to pre-booked appointments for selected groups. While defaulting to pre-booked slots may increase uptake, potential rebound effects remain unclear. We examine preferences between appointment types, their effect on vaccination intentions, and whether effects are different for individuals hesitant about this vaccination round. A mixed-methods approach was used to assess vaccination intentions for three groups (<60 with influenza vaccination indication, 60-69 and 70+ years) eligible for pre-booked appointments. In a two-phase formative evaluation study, we examined attitudes around pre-booked appointments in 15 interviews (phase 1) and experimentally tested (phase 2) perceived burden of pre-booked appointments vs self-scheduled appointments and their effect on vaccination intentions in a representative online panel (n\u00a0=\u00a01.886) and those who experience hesitancy about this vaccination. Interviews (phase 1) showed that pre-booked appointments are seen as presumptuous or inconvenient by some, but also as a useful aid in support of vaccination uptake, sometimes by the same people. Participants in the experiment (phase 2) indicated to perceive self-scheduling as less burdensome (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.23) but this perception did not translate to differences in vaccination intentions (Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a01.11) Similar results were observed in the hesitant subgroup (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.25; Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a00.88). In our study pre-booked appointments do not change COVID-19 vaccination intentions. As pre-booked appointments evoked negative and positive sentiments and self-scheduling was found easier and more pleasant, we conservatively recommend its implementation for older adults who received their COVID-19 vaccination the previous year.\n\nID: 42546636\nTitle: Advances in clinical immunogenicity evaluation of influenza vaccines.\nAbstract: Influenza vaccination is an effective intervention for preventing severe influenza, and assessing its immunogenicity is a critical step in determining vaccine protective efficacy. With the widespread use of influenza vaccines-including split-virion, subunit, recombinant protein, and live attenuated formulations-methods for evaluating immunogenicity have grown increasingly diverse and complex. This article systematically examines the advantages and limitations of various immunogenicity assessment approaches for influenza vaccines. It draws upon multidimensional evaluation frameworks covering humoral, cellular, and mucosal immunity, incorporating analytical techniques such as hemagglutination inhibition assays, microneutralization assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, mucosal secretory IgA detection, enzyme-linked immunospot assays, and flow cytometry. Furthermore, clinical challenge trials evaluations play an essential role in elucidating the relationship between immunogenicity and protective efficacy. This paper aims to establish a systematic and comprehensive reference framework for the development and immunogenicity evaluation of influenza vaccines, thereby advancing vaccine design and the prediction of protective outcomes toward greater precision.\n\nID: 42546173\nTitle: Mothers' intentions for adolescent sons' human papillomavirus vaccination in Japan: Psychosocial factors and relative influences across intention groups.\nAbstract: As human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for men remains non-routine in Japan, this study aimed to explore psychosocial factors associated with mothers' intentions to vaccinate their adolescent sons, and compared the strength of these correlates across intention groups. A web-based cross-sectional survey targeted mothers with boys aged 11-16\u2009years in Japan. Participants were classified by intention into accepting (strongly/relatively agree), undecided (unknown), and refusing (strongly/relatively disagree) groups. Binary logistic regression compared the accepting versus undecided groups and accepting versus refusing groups. Among 301 mothers, 22.6% were accepting, 57.5% undecided, and 19.9% refusing. Normative beliefs exhibited the strongest association, with the highest odds ratio (OR), when comparing accepting versus undecided (OR\u2009=\u200912.63, 95% CI 6.03-26.47) and accepting versus refusing groups (OR\u2009=\u200926.72, 95% CI 9.69-73.74). This was followed by perceived importance of prevention, best-friend influence, anticipatory regret, and perceived susceptibility. Associations were generally stronger in comparisons between accepting and refusing groups than between accepting and undecided groups. The undecided group reported greater perceived logistical hassle. The refusing group was less likely to have completed children's routine childhood vaccinations before entering elementary school or eldest son's influenza vaccination and was less influenced by municipal notifications or doctors' recommendations. Tailored interventions are needed, including those enhancing subjective norms, perceived prevention value, and risk communication for undecided and refusing mothers; providing logistical support for undecided mothers; and implementing multi\u2011channel, trust\u2011building communication strategies for refusing mothers. Japan should prioritize boys' HPV vaccination through multifaceted strategies addressing these psychosocial barriers.\n\nID: 42546169\nTitle: A Bayesian Re-Analysis of the GALFLU Trial of high dose versus standard dose influenza vaccine against hospitalisation outcomes.\nAbstract: The GALFLU trial showed a lower incidence of hospitalisation among adults aged 65-79 years randomised to high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV) compared with standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (SD-IIV). This Bayesian re-analysis estimated an >80% probability of benefit (rVE >10%) against influenza-or-pneumonia-related hospitalisation, supporting the benefit of HD-IIV over SD-IIV.\n\nID: 42546126\nTitle: A bivalent inactivated influenza vaccine incorporating epitope-optimized surface proteins confers cross-protective immunity against H9N2 influenza virus.\nAbstract: AbstractThe H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) has caused substantial economic losses to the global poultry industry and poses a zoonotic threat to humans. Vaccination constitutes a pivotal strategy for the prevention and control of H9N2 AIVs. However, the ongoing antigenic evolution of the virus poses a persistent challenge to the protective efficacy of existing vaccines. Therefore, the development of a broadly protective H9N2 influenza vaccine capable of eliciting cross-reactive immune responses is crucial for mitigating both the disease burden and the risk of pandemics. Here, we developed a bivalent chimeric inactivated vaccine, designated cHANA, by combining two individually rescued chimeric inactivated viruses, cHANA1 and cHANA2. Each recombinant virus carries one set of Epigraph-designed HA and NA immunogens, and the two sets were computationally optimized from global H9N2 HA and NA sequence datasets to complement each other in epitope coverage across the H9N2 viral population. Compared to the WHO-recommended candidate vaccine virus (CVV), AL/39, cHANA elicited more potent cross-reactive antibody responses and T cell immunity in mice. Furthermore, it elicited effective cross-protection against lethal challenge with heterologous H9N2 virus and significantly reduced pulmonary viral loads of mice. By conferring broad protective immunity, this vaccine represents a promising universal candidate for controlling H9N2 outbreaks.\n\nID: 42545527\nTitle: A Reproducible Electroporation Strategy for CRISPR-Cas9 RNP and mRNA Delivery in Fish Embryos.\nAbstract: This study presents a streamlined electroporation-based method for efficient macromolecular delivery into zebrafish embryos. We first characterized the physical barrier posed by the chorion using TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and established that its removal is prerequisite for effective delivery. A systematic optimization of electroporation parameters for dechorionated embryos identified optimal conditions (e.g., poring pulse: 25\u00a0V, 20 ms; transfer pulse: 5\u00a0V, 50 ms) that ensured high embryo survival and robust eGFP mRNA transfection. Applying this protocol, we achieved targeted gene knockout by electroporation-mediated delivery of Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) against multiple loci. Targeting the tyr locus resulted in a phenotypic albinism rate of (38.6\u2009\u00b1\u20093.30)%. Furthermore, we incorporated polyglutamic acid (PGA) to modify the RNP complexes (target tyr), which inhibited aggregation and enhanced editing efficiency to (44.45\u2009\u00b1\u20091.41)%, outperforming a commercial. electroporation system, while targeting the pigmentation-related gene slc24a5 yielded an albinism or hypopigmentation rate of (38.33\u2009\u00b1\u20092.62)%. In addition, targeting the development-associated gene ddx19b produced developmental defect phenotypes in (38.33\u2009\u00b1\u20091.88)% of embryos. The successful introduction of indels at the target site was confirmed by sequencing. Our work establishes a highly effective electroporation strategy, augmented by nanotechnology, for the delivery of mRNA and RNP complexes, enabling high-efficiency protein expression and gene editing in zebrafish embryos, with broad potential applications in aquatic biotechnology.\n\nID: 42543315\nTitle: [Mechanisms of Platycodon grandiflorum-Sonchus oleraceus combination in alleviating pulmonary nodules in mice via inhibiting macrophage M1 polarization].\nAbstract: This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effects and underlying mechanisms of the combined use of Platycodon grandiflorum and Sonchus oleraceus on pulmonary nodules in mice. C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive control group, P. grandiflorum extract group, S. oleraceus extract group, and combination group. The pulmonary nodule model was established by intratracheal instillation of 1\u00d710~9 CFU Cutibacterium acnes for three consecutive days, followed by seven consecutive days of drug administration. Serum amyloid A(SAA) levels were measured, pathological changes in lung tissue were observed, and changes in interleukin(IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1), IL-1\u03b2, glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX), superoxide dismutase(SOD), total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC), and malondialdehyde(MDA) levels in lung tissue were evaluated. Additionally, macrophage M1/M2 polarization and activation of the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)/nuclear factor-\u03baB p65 subunit(NF-\u03baB p65) signaling pathway were analyzed. The results showed that all treatment groups ameliorated lung injury in mice with pulmonary nodules. Specifically, the combination group alleviated body weight loss, reduced SAA levels, downregulated the expression of IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2, enhanced the activities of GSH-PX, SOD, and T-AOC, decreased MDA accumulation, restored the balance of M1/M2 macrophage phenotypes, upregulated arginase-1(ARG1) levels, suppressed the mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), TLR4, MyD88, and NF-\u03baB, increased the expression of inhibitor of nuclear factor-\u03baB alpha(I\u03baB\u03b1), and downregulated the p-p65/p65 ratio. Meanwhile, compared with the single-herb groups, the combination group demonstrated significant advantages in suppressing inflammatory cytokines and oxidative damage. In conclusion, the combined preparation of P. grandiflorum and S. oleraceus can alleviate pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress injury and improve pulmonary nodules by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway and suppressing macrophage M1 polarization.\n\nID: 42543035\nTitle: Lactylation in influenza a virus infection: Current evidence, knowledge gaps, and future perspectives.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major respiratory pathogen causing seasonal epidemics and pandemics, posing serious threats to public health and livestock. The high mutation rate of IAV leads to vaccine mismatches and drug-resistant variants, underscoring the need for novel antiviral strategies. This review examines the role of lactylation in IAV-host interactions, focusing on three core questions: how IAV induces lactylation, how lactylation reshapes antiviral immunity, and how IAV exploits lactylation for immune evasion. Key findings include lactylation of viral vRNP components required for efficient replication and the host deacetylase SIRT1, which suppresses IAV replication by removing these lactyl groups. IAV counteracts this defense by downregulating SIRT1 expression. Lactylation also regulates cGAS-STING, RLR-MAVS, and IFN signaling pathways. The therapeutic potential of targeting lactate metabolism and SIRT1 is discussed. Understanding lactylation in IAV infection may open new avenues for antiviral drug development.\n\nID: 42541307\nTitle: N-terminal fusion length: The key to reliable and context-preserving regulatory sequence characterization.\nAbstract: Regulatory sequences are commonly characterized using fluorescent reporters, yet how N-terminal coding context shapes these measurements has not been systematically quantified. Here, we evaluated the impact of N-terminal fusion length (45-180 bp) from four genes (lacZ, icd, zwf, bfp) on GFP reporter expression driven by 15 different promoter-RBS combinations in E. coli with normalized fluorescence, enzymatic activity assays and transcription analysis for a representative subset of constructs. Our results demonstrate that N-terminal fusion critically determines the reliability of regulatory-sequence characterization in target-gene-specific coding contexts, with strong gene- and length-dependent effects. Fusions as short as 45 bp failed to rescue context-sensitive cases. However, among the tested fusion lengths, fusions of 90 bp or longer achieved strong correlations (mean R2\u202f>\u202f0.75) between reporter fluorescence and target protein activity. Among the factors examined, N-terminal mRNA secondary structure showed a closer association with these fusion-length-dependent effects than transcription or translation initiation changes. This practical, context-preserving fusion strategy provides cost-effective guidance for scalable and accurate regulatory sequence profiling.\n\nID: 42541274\nTitle: Gaps in Routine Childhood Immunization Among Low-Income Children at 24 Months (2019-2024).\nAbstract: Vaccination rates declined during the COVID-19 pandemic and have not fully rebounded after pandemic. Declines in routine vaccination rates can lead to the increased emergence or reemergence of childhood diseases that are currently not widely circulating in the U.S. This study assessed the rates of required childhood vaccinations at 24 months from 2019 to 2024 by patient demographics and utilization. Electronic health record data from 213 community-based primary care health centers serving underserved and low-income populations in 10 states were used to calculate the routine vaccination metric over 6 years. Up-to-date rates were calculated for children with and without well-child visits. Rates were also calculated with and without the inclusion of the influenza vaccine. Up-to-date vaccination rates at 24 months increased from 2019 to 2020 and declined from 2021 to 2024. The percentage of children who were up to date with all vaccines ranged from 42% in 2020 to a low of 30% in 2024. Rates were higher when the influenza vaccine was excluded and among children who had a well-child visit. Routine childhood vaccination rates at 24 months declined during the COVID-19 public health emergency and have continued to decline since then. Targeted strategies are needed to increase routine childhood vaccination coverage.\n\nID: 42540347\nTitle: CD71 defines functionally active spermatogonial stem cells with enhanced transplantation potential in mouse testes.\nAbstract: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are responsible for lifelong spermatogenesis in adult males; however, their scarcity and inherent heterogeneity, coupled with the lack of robust SSC-specific surface markers, continue to impede isolation and characterization. In the present study, we found CD71, which corresponds to transferrin receptor (TfR1; encoded by Tfrc), a candidate marker capable of enriching for SSC populations from mouse testes. The immunohistochemistry detected co-localization of CD71 with the undifferentiated spermatogonia marker glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family receptor alpha 1 (GFR\u03b11) on the seminiferous basement membrane, with approximately 81% co-localization. Consistent with this finding, the expression of Tfrc was up-regulated in SSC-enriched germ cell populations relative to mouse germ cell lines (GC-1 and GC-2) and somatic cell lines from testis (TM3 and TM4). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis further showed that GFR\u03b11+ cells exhibited approximately 1.4-fold higher Tfrc mRNA expression than GFR\u03b11- cells. Similarly, CD71+ cells exhibited significantly higher expression of the undifferentiated spermatogonia markers Id4, Lhx1, Gfr\u03b11, Zbtb16, and Etv5. Functional transplantation assays further demonstrate that CD71high cells give rise to approximately 5.5-fold more colonies than freshy isolated, FACS-unsorted donor cells. Moreover, peanut agglutinin (PNA) lectin staining confirmed the normal spermatogenic differentiation within colonies derived from CD71high donor cells. Our findings collectively indicate that CD71high cells represent an SSC-enriched population with enhanced spermatogenic regenerative capacity and support the use of CD71 as a complementary marker for SSC enrichment and fertility restoration.\n\nID: 42539595\nTitle: Favorable safety and immunogenicity of a combined quadrivalent influenza and recombinant SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in Sprague-Dawley rats for both primary and booster immunization.\nAbstract: The concurrent circulation of influenza viruses and SARS\u2011CoV\u20112 continues to strain global public health systems. Vaccination remains the cornerstone of defense, and combined vaccines offer a strategic advantage by simplifying logistics, reducing costs, and improving coverage. In this set of studies, we evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a novel combined quadrivalent influenza and recombinant COVID\u201119 vaccine (developed by Anhui Zhifei Longcom Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), known as the Flu\u2011CoV2 vaccine, in Sprague\u2011Dawley rats. Three independent studies were conducted in accordance with ICH S6(R1) guidelines for Preclinical Safety Evaluation of Biotechnology\u2011Derived Pharmaceuticals: primary immunization (Study 1) and booster immunization following a prior history of either influenza (Study 2) or COVID\u201119 (Study 3) vaccination. Immunogenicity was determined by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody enzyme\u2011linked immunosorbent assay, plaque reduction neutralization tests for SARS\u2011CoV\u20112, and hemagglutination inhibition assays for influenza viruses. No severe, life\u2011threatening, or fatal adverse reactions occurred during any of the studies. Transient injection\u2011site nodules in adjuvanted groups resolved completely, and all transient post\u2011vaccination shifts in hematologic and biochemical parameters normalized by the end of the recovery period. As a primary regimen, the Flu\u2011CoV2 vaccine effectively induced strong IgG and neutralizing antibody responses against both influenza and SARS\u2011CoV\u20112. Administered as a booster, it markedly augmented specific antibody levels in pre\u2011immune models, demonstrating its potential to broadly enhance recall immune responses. These preclinical data demonstrate a favorable safety profile and potent immunogenicity, supporting the further development of the Flu\u2011CoV2 vaccine as a promising tool to address the dual threat of influenza and COVID\u201119.\n\nID: 42539131\nTitle: Germinal center-independent memory B cells provide rapid protection from lethal influenza challenges.\nAbstract: Memory B cell recall responses are crucial for rapid protection from pathogens expressing previously encountered antigens. While germinal centers (GCs) contribute to durable B cell memory in many contexts, GC formation is attenuated or completely abrogated during some severe infections. Whether GC-independent responses generate functional memory B cells that may contribute to protective immunity remains unclear. Using mice lacking GCs, we identified a durable class-switched GC-independent memory B cell population that was generated dominantly through a T-cell-dependent response. Vaccine-induced non-GC memory B cells demonstrated greater diversity and provided humoral protection from matched and diverse vaccine-unmatched influenza viral challenges. These results identify a unique, durable, diverse, GC-independent memory B cell population that can mediate rapid protection from severe infections by mutable pathogens.\n\nID: 42539121\nTitle: Elicitation of stem-directed antibodies in rhesus macaques by a conventional hemagglutinin immunogen.\nAbstract: Because they can bind many strains of influenza, antibodies targeting the hemagglutinin (HA) stem have been attractive targets for vaccine development. Many monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed at the HA stem have been isolated from humans, and these mAbs have mediated broad protection in animal models. We describe here HA stem-directed mAbs isolated from rhesus macaques immunized with an \"ordinary\" H1 HA trimer. All immunized rhesus macaques developed high serum titers with broad reactivity to diverse H1N1 and H5N1 viruses, and 7 isolated mAbs strongly blocked canonical stem antibody CR6261 binding to H1. MAb DH726.1 robustly protected mice from lethal challenge with H1N1 and H5N1 viruses, and cryo-EM showed the binding footprint overlapped that of some human mAbs. These findings suggest that vaccination with the standard, trimeric HA immunogens may be sufficient to elicit stem antibodies at titers adequate to protect against zoonotic H5N1 influenza.\n\nID: 42556575\nTitle: Redox-responsive nanomaterials for mRNA delivery: From rational design to therapeutic applications.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics have emerged as a transformative biomedical platform with broad potential in vaccination, protein replacement, gene editing, and cancer immunotherapy. Despite substantial progress, the broader clinical translation of mRNA therapeutics requires further optimization of delivery systems to address challenges related to stability, biodistribution, intracellular delivery efficiency, and biosafety. In this review, we discuss the rational design of redox-responsive nanomaterials that exploit physiological intracellular redox compartmentalization or, in selected systems, disease-associated oxidative or reductive dysregulation to improve mRNA delivery. We first summarize the biological basis of redox-responsive delivery by linking disease-associated redox imbalance with the engineering principles of responsive nanomaterials. We then systematically discuss major classes of redox-responsive systems, including oxidation-responsive, reduction-responsive, and dual-responsive platforms across polymeric, lipid-based, and hybrid nanomaterial formulations. Particular emphasis is placed on how distinct chemical architectures and responsive motifs influence intracellular delivery behavior, cargo release, immune compatibility, and therapeutic performance. Finally, we discuss current translational challenges, including long-term biosafety, repeated administration, immunogenicity, and large-scale manufacturing, while highlighting emerging opportunities such as AI-assisted material design and personalized theranostic applications. Collectively, this review provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how redox-responsive nanomaterial engineering may advance the next generation of precise and clinically translatable mRNA therapeutics.\n\nID: 42533502\nTitle: Molecular Restoration Through Replacement Therapies: Current Advances and Future Directions in Treating Diseases.\nAbstract: Replacement therapy is an advanced therapeutic approach for diseases caused by molecular deficits. It aims to restore normal physiology by replacing deficient molecules such as enzymes, proteins, genes, or other molecules. Here, we discuss different modalities, including protein replacement, gene therapy, messenger RNA (mRNA) replacement, noncoding RNA (ncRNA) therapies, cell replacement, and gene editing, aimed at addressing and treating the fundamental genetic defects underlying a range of diseases. These therapies could have potentially curative and disease-modifying effects when used to directly replace deficient or dysfunctional components, addressing the inherent limitations of conventional therapies, such as off-target effects and control of disease-related symptoms. Some replacement therapies, such as protein therapy, gene therapy, and cell therapy, are already approved for clinical use, while emerging approaches-including mRNA therapy, ncRNA therapy, and gene editing-remain primarily in the preclinical or clinical trial stages. To achieve broad clinical translation of these emerging approaches, key challenges, including delivery, safety, specificity, and ethical concerns, must be addressed. This review provides an overview of the existing modalities of replacement therapies, their mechanisms of action, and future directions for improving clinical translation, efficacy, and accessibility.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

While \"naked\" RNA delivery could in principle solve these issues, studies have suggested that it is infeasible due to rapid degradation by RNases and poor cellular entry, thereby necessitating formulations that enhance intracellular delivery and RNA stability. Now, we challenge this paradigm by showing that a simple and inexpensive (<$1), lighter-derived electroporator with microneedle electrodes (Piezopen) can augment gene expression and immunogenicity to naked mRNA leading to comparable responses to LNPs at low doses. We achieve robust responses in the absence of systemic inflammation and reactogenicity using skin-targeted delivery, administer diverse construct types (i.e., mRNA, self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), circular RNA (circRNA)), and demonstrate cross-species validation in live human skin to derisk subsequent clinical application. Our results introduce Piezopen as an inexpensive, well-tolerated, and efficacious alternative to LNPs for mRNA vaccine delivery, designed to facilitate routine vaccinations and pandemic response.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42412769 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565 years against medically attended influenza outcomes.\" (Source: 42550058)\n- \"All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated\" (Source: 42441816)\n- \"mRNA vaccines represent a transformative advance in vaccinology, combining rapid development timelines, scalable manufacturing, and strong immunogenicity with a favourable safety profile.\" (Source: 42379196)\n- \"Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies.\" (Source: 42245671)\n- \"aQIV and HD-QIV provided comparable protection for prevention of test-confirmed influenza among older adults in any and ED/hospitalization settings in the 2023-2024 season and for hospitalizations in overall and high-risk older adults in pooled 2022-2024 analyses.\" (Source: 42546898)\n- \"These developments define mRNA technology as a modular platform whose clinical impact depends on aligning RNA architecture, delivery system, antigen design, and target population.\" (Source: 42327741)\n- \"TP2A functions as a modular platform, thus enabling flexible antigen assembly and rapid vaccine adaptation to newly emerging variants or even other viral pathogens.\" (Source: 42236761)\n- \"Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles.\" (Source: 42505558)\n- \"In our study pre-booked appointments do not change COVID-19 vaccination intentions.\" (Source: 42546637)\n- \"mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with cancer, despite variability according to disease type and treatment.\" (Source: 42245650)\n- \"Our results demonstrate that N-terminal fusion critically determines the reliability of regulatory-sequence characterization in target-gene-specific coding contexts, with strong gene- and length-dependent effects.\" (Source: 42541307)\n- \"A reactogenicity score was developed from PV data, based on reported symptoms and their intensity showing higher reactogenicity with viral vector vaccines.\" (Source: 42435835)\n- \"Influenza vaccination is an effective intervention for preventing severe influenza, and assessing its immunogenicity is a critical step in determining vaccine protective efficacy.\" (Source: 42546636)\n- \"We found that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can persist in endothelial cells of vasculitic skin lesions weeks to months after COVID-19 infection or mRNA vaccination.\" (Source: 42516097)\n- \"mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties.\" (Source: 42522246)\n- \"Progress in antigen design, mRNA engineering, and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery has enabled early preclinical success against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Streptococcus pneumoniae.\" (Source: 42318873)\n- \"Important gaps persist between the estimated population at risk, diagnosed individuals, healthcare utilization, and influenza vaccination coverage in Mexico.\" (Source: 42553356)\n- \"Although COVID-19 vaccination has reduced morbidity and mortality, adults aged 65 y old and older are at high risk of complications from COVID-19.

The claim is evaluated as plausible, supported by the ongoing shift toward modular, rapid-response mRNA technologies capable of eliciting robust humoral and cellular immunity, while acknowledging concurrent challenges such as antigenic mismatch and variable clinical performance in older populations.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nMessenger RNA (mRNA) platforms represent a transformative development in vaccine science, offering unparalleled speed and adaptability compared to traditional egg-based or cell-culture influenza vaccines. As demonstrated by recent studies, mRNA-1010 and similar candidates have shown immunogenicity comparable to currently licensed enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) in populations aged 65 and older. The mechanism of protection typically involves the induction of potent Th1/Tfh1-biased responses, high-affinity neutralizing antibodies, and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, the modular nature of mRNA allows for rapid adaptation to emerging variants, providing a scalable solution to the persistent challenge of antigenic drift. While clinical performance can be influenced by host factors like immunosenescence and prior exposure, current evidence indicates that mRNA technologies remain a critical frontier for minimizing morbidity in high-risk cohorts.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA vaccines for influenza demonstrate clinical efficacy profiles that are statistically comparable to current licensed enhanced vaccines (EVs) in geriatric populations.\n* The use of non-canonical delivery systems, such as piezoelectric electroporation (Piezopen), shows potential for \"naked\" mRNA delivery, potentially bypassing inflammatory lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carriers.\n* There is no evidence of significant structural cerebral changes following mRNA vaccination, contradicting concerns regarding microstructural brain alterations in the subacute phase.\n* Antigenic mismatch continues to be a primary driver of variable effectiveness, necessitating the transition to recombinant protein and mRNA platforms.\n* Sequential vaccination of COVID-19 and influenza antigens does not appear to compromise the individual immunogenicity of either vaccine in immunocompromised populations.\n* Adjuvanted and high-dose influenza vaccines have shown comparable protection against medically attended influenza in real-world cohorts.\n* The persistence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in skin lesions post-vaccination remains an area for continued clinical investigation regarding vasculitic manifestations.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

Peptide vaccines provide simplicity and stability though often elicit limited cytotoxic T-cell responses. What is more, mRNA vaccines lead to rapid, multiplexed neoantigen delivery, endogenous antigen processing and eventually improved immunogenic coverage. Dendritic cell-based vaccines have the potency to prime potent T-cells although this technology requires labor-intensive manufacturing and extensive production timelines. Integration with immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, and oncolytic viruses further enhances efficacy, suggesting that rational combinations may be more effective than single modalities. Recent advances in sequencing, computational epitope prediction, and bioinformatics pipelines have facilitated neoantigen prioritization and DC vaccine design, enabling more rapid and precise personalization. Hybrid vaccination strategies, such as ex-vivo mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells and in-vivo DC-targeted platforms, bridge the gap between manufacturing feasibility and potent immune activation. Emerging technologies, including AI-driven neoepitope prediction, receptor-targeted antigen delivery, biomaterial-based modulation, and distributed mRNA manufacturing, seem to be promising approaches to accelerate personalized vaccine development in future. From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases. Host HLA diversity, prior immune history, and viral evolution create heterogeneity in immune responses, highlighting opportunities for semi-personalized or adaptive strategies. In this review, we provide a landscape of personalized vaccines, with a focus on DC-based platforms, and explore translational lessons for viral pathogens. A conceptual framework linking cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease preparedness is proposed, emphasizing hybrid personalization approaches, rapid manufacturing, and AI-enabled epitope selection. This perspective highlights how convergence of immunology, computational biology, and advanced vaccine technologies could expand the scope of personalized vaccination, from oncology to future epidemic and pandemic scenarios as well as the current challenges."

In particular, mRNA-based therapy provides a compelling alternative to small molecules and DNA-based gene therapy, combining high specificity with an excellent safety profile. However, its clinical translation hinges on the development of safe and efficient delivery systems. In this study, we present a rationally designed diblock copolymer that mediates highly effective PTEN mRNA delivery both in vitro and in vivo. The copolymer consists of a stealth PEG block and a cationic binding block, with precisely engineered 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide (DMAPMA) units. Following optimization of the PEG chain length, the structure PEG45-b-P(AAPBA21-co-DMAPMA18) achieved a critical balance of delivery properties, leading to enhanced cellular uptake, facilitated endosomal escape, and enabled mRNA release for protein translation. When further functionalized with folic acid (FA), the copolymer successfully restored PTEN expression and inhibited tumor growth (81.0% relative to the PBS control group) in vivo, with no significant toxicity observed under the tested conditions. We anticipate that this block copolymer-based PTEN mRNA delivery platform could provide a promising new approach for the treatment of NSCLC."

However, their limited stability poses significant challenges for storage and global distribution. The instability of mRNA-LNP products makes them dependent on ultra-cold chain systems. This instability is driven by various physicochemical factors, including temperature, pH, light exposure, oxidation, aggregation, shear stress, and humidity. These factors destabilize the physical and chemical integrity of both mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) components, leading to reduced vaccine potency and potentially increasing the risk of adverse safety outcomes. Understanding these factors and their mechanisms is crucial for retaining mRNA-LNP efficacy. This review discusses the key physicochemical instability factors and molecular degradation mechanisms responsible for the structural and functional deterioration of mRNA-LNP formulations. Further, we summarize the stabilization strategies and analytical methods used to detect and quantify the degradation of mRNA-LNP products. Addressing these challenges is critical for advancing next-generation nucleic acid-based drug products and LNP-based delivery systems."

These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine. These findings support the use of booster vaccination in these patients and inform future deployment of additional mRNA-based vaccines."

The chemokine CXCL10, an interferon-\u03b3-inducible mediator of T cell trafficking, has been implicated in immune activation and tissue injury. However, it remains unclear whether genetic variation in CXCL10 contributes to T cell dysregulation and clinical outcomes in sepsis. In a prospective cohort of septic patients (n=278), we analyzed CXCL10 rs8878 genotypes, circulating immune cell counts, cytokine concentrations, and CXCL10 protein and mRNA expression in whole blood. Associations between genotype, immune parameters, plasma proteomics and 30-day survival were assessed using group comparisons and Kaplan-Meier analyses. Correlation analyses were performed to evaluate relationships between CXCL10 concentrations, cytokines, and clinical parameters. Variants in the CXCL10 gene were associated with T cell dysregulation. Carriers of the rs8878 AA genotype exhibited higher circulating T cell counts and improved survival compared with G-allele carriers. Higher total and CD8+ T cell counts were significantly associated with improved survival. Among non-survivors, AA-genotype carriers showed increased CXCL10 mRNA expression, indicating genotype-dependent regulation of CXCL10 expression under conditions of fatal disease progression. CXCL10 concentrations on day 1 were positively correlated with multiple inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, MCP-1, IFN-\u03b3, and interferon-\u03b12, and inversely correlated with total T cell counts, supporting a link between CXCL10, systemic inflammation, and T cell depletion. No significant associations were observed between CXCL10 genotype and plasma proteomics and routine clinical parameters. The CXCL10 rs8878 genotype is associated with T cell dynamics and 30-day survival in sepsis, suggesting a genotype-dependent modulation of the adaptive immune response. While the AA genotype is linked to preserved T cell counts and improved outcomes, increased CXCL10 expression in non-survivors points to a context-dependent role in inflammation-driven immune dysregulation. These findings identify CXCL10 as a potential biomarker for risk stratification and a candidate target for immunomodulatory therapies in sepsis."

The study aim was to assess the safety and VE of the 2023-2024 protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5) in a real-world setting. The single-site, pragmatic BEEHIVE clinical trial was conducted among participants aged \u226518\u00a0years from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area, who had previously received \u22652 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, from November 17, 2023, through September 9, 2024. Randomized participants received a protein-based or mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a double-blind manner. An unblinded, nonrandomized comparator control group that did not receive a study vaccine was also enrolled. The primary aim measured VE between the randomized and comparator groups. The secondary aim was to measure rVE between the 2 vaccine platforms. In the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, VE and rVE were estimated using a proportional-hazards model for symptomatic infections confirmed by weekly self-administered rapid antigen tests (RATs) over 24\u00a0weeks, adjusted for covariates. Reactogenicity and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded. Randomized cohorts (N\u00a0=\u00a0909; protein-based, n\u00a0=\u00a0452; mRNA, n\u00a0=\u00a0457) were largely well-balanced with some differences in baseline covariates versus the comparator group (n\u00a0=\u00a0279), mostly age-related. The mITT population had 142 RAT-confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases with an adjusted VE of 43.6% (95% CI, 18.3-61.0); rVE (protein-based vs mRNA) was -26.7% (90% CI, -78.6% to 10.1%) and did not reach statistical significance. Safety and reactogenicity were comparable to previously reported findings, with no serious study vaccine-related TEAEs, myocarditis/pericarditis, hospitalization, or death. This is one of the earliest real-world trials evaluating the VE of the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5). These results suggest that both protein-based and mRNA vaccines are well-tolerated and significantly reduce the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections."

A better understanding of LNP composition-immunogenicity relationships is therefore critical for rational vaccine design. Here, we profiled a panel of clinically relevant LNP formulations across complementary in vitro and in vivo models to define mechanisms underlying innate immune activation and adaptive responses. We identified three distinct cytokine programs: (i) a monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-dominated inflammatory response associated with cytotoxic stress; (ii) inflammasome-dependent interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2) secretion requiring pro-inflammatory priming; and (iii) type I and II interferon-dependent responses in which LNPs synergize with interferon gamma (IFN\u03b3) to amplify interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) production. Using a design of experiments (DoE) framework\u00a0with formulation feature analysis, we found that polyethylene glycol-conjugated (PEGylated) lipid content and ionizable lipid identity are key modulators of the IFN\u03b3/IP-10 axis, previously implicated in vaccine-associated myocarditis. In vivo validation showed that innate cytokine responses are strongly influenced by lipid composition, whereas adaptive humoral and cellular responses correlate with transgene expression rather than cytokine magnitude. Collectively, these findings define relationships among LNP composition, cytokine induction, and vaccine efficacy, and provide a framework for rational design and screening of LNP-based vaccines that maximize immunogenicity while minimizing reactogenicity."

Despite its high immunogenicity, the cellular mechanisms by which mRNA-LNP induces such unusual immune responses remain largely unclear. Here, we show that mRNA-LNP induces potent and long-lasting CD8 T cell expansion through an antigen presentation mechanism that differs from that of conventional adjuvants. In mice immunized with mRNA-LNP, the number of antigen-specific CD8 T cells was one order of magnitude higher than that induced by combining antigen proteins with immunostimulants such as lipopolysaccharide or polyinosinic:polycytidinic acid. Intramuscularly administered mRNA-LNPs were mainly taken up by migratory type 2 conventional dendritic cells in draining lymph nodes, resulting in notably strong and persistent antigen presentation through major histocompatibility complex class I. Furthermore, CD8 T cell induction by mRNA-LNP required migratory dendritic cells but not the traditional cross-presentation pathway that is otherwise essential for antiviral and antitumor immunity. Thus, the mRNA-LNP formulation exerts unconventional immune responses through a different antigen-presentation pathway from conventional component vaccines."

Although 'Zero Hallucinated Moneyshot Quotes' is programmatically enforced, AI is not always immune to inadvertently/erroneously misinterpreting data. This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\nThe claim evaluated is the synthesis of the 2026 PathMap perspective on mRNA influenza vaccination, focusing on the comparative efficacy, safety, and technological advancement of mRNA-based platforms (mRNA-1010, mRNA-1083) versus traditional enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs).\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nMessenger RNA-based vaccine platforms have successfully transitioned from pandemic-driven SARS-CoV-2 applications to broader infectious disease targets, specifically influenza. Current clinical evidence supports that mRNA-1010 and multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccines provide immunogenicity comparable or superior to licensed high-dose/enhanced influenza vaccines, maintaining a favorable safety profile with no significant increase in reactogenicity or serious adverse events.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe rapid development of mRNA technology during the COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated the creation of versatile vaccine platforms for seasonal influenza. Clinical evaluations indicate that these vaccines, including mRNA-1010 and the quadrivalent-like multicomponent mRNA-1083, are capable of generating robust humoral and cellular immune responses. The data suggest that these platforms are not merely comparable to existing enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) but also offer advantages in rapid antigen optimization. Specifically, mRNA-1010 has demonstrated efficacy profiles similar to currently licensed EVs in adults aged 65 and older, while mRNA-1083 has shown noninferiority and, in some contexts, superiority to active comparators for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Safety analyses across these studies consistently support their well-tolerated nature.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 immunogenicity is comparable to traditional high-dose influenza vaccines, a critical finding for addressing immunosenescence in older populations.\n* The multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccine enables simultaneous protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 without compromising individual immune response magnitudes.\n* Capless self-amplifying mRNA (CLsamRNA) platforms show extreme dose-sparing potential (e.g., 0.01 \u03bcg), reducing the manufacturing requirements for large-scale production.\n* mRNA vaccination induces a distinct Th1/Tfh1-biased cellular immune response, which correlates with long-lasting memory.\n* Sequential administration of mRNA-based COVID-19 and influenza vaccines does not inhibit the development of antigen-specific immunity against either virus.\n* mRNA-based influenza platforms can be rapidly updated to address antigenic drift, a key improvement over egg-based production.\n* No signals for myocarditis or pericarditis were identified in the reported phase 3 clinical trials for mRNA-1083.\n* Current mRNA-LNP delivery systems are being engineered to shift expression profiles, such as increasing spleen-selective immunity for better T-cell priming.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

While mRNA-1273 (Spikevax, Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccines are widely used in this population, comparative data on their immunogenicity, particularly after bivalent boosters, remain limited. We conducted a longitudinal immunologic evaluation of U.S. NHRs who received either the mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2 bivalent vaccine. Serum samples were collected 10-30 d post-vaccination. Anti-spike IgG levels were measured using a Luminex bead-based assay, and neutralizing titers were assessed via pseudovirus neutralization. Comparative analyses of the titer distributions were performed using two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Both vaccine groups demonstrated strong humoral responses to the ancestral Wuhan strain and Omicron BA.4/5 subvariants. Spike-binding antibody levels and neutralization titers were comparable between the mRNA -1273 and BNT162b2 vaccine formulations. Conclusions: Both mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccines elicit similarly robust humoral immunity in NHRs, supporting their interchangeable use in booster strategies. Our findings underscore the importance of timely booster administration over exact product selection in protecting this high-risk, immunosenescent population.\n\nID: 42550058\nTitle: Indirect comparison of mRNA-1010 versus enhanced influenza vaccines in adults aged 65 years and older during the 2024-2025\u2009US influenza season.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza continues to cause severe disease among older adults in the United States despite enhanced vaccine recommendations, driven by immunosenescence and vaccine mismatch with circulating influenza viruses. mRNA-based influenza vaccines (mRNA-1010), addressing some of these challenges, have been developed for this population. A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended.\n\nID: 42541646\nTitle: Past achievements and future perspectives of personalized vaccines and the role of dendritic cells.\nAbstract: Personalized vaccines provide the advantage of patient-specific antigen selection to optimize immune responses, a strategy extensively explored in oncology through neoantigen-targeted peptide, mRNA, and dendritic cell platforms. Peptide vaccines provide simplicity and stability though often elicit limited cytotoxic T-cell responses. What is more, mRNA vaccines lead to rapid, multiplexed neoantigen delivery, endogenous antigen processing and eventually improved immunogenic coverage. Dendritic cell-based vaccines have the potency to prime potent T-cells although this technology requires labor-intensive manufacturing and extensive production timelines. Integration with immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, and oncolytic viruses further enhances efficacy, suggesting that rational combinations may be more effective than single modalities. Recent advances in sequencing, computational epitope prediction, and bioinformatics pipelines have facilitated neoantigen prioritization and DC vaccine design, enabling more rapid and precise personalization. Hybrid vaccination strategies, such as ex-vivo mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells and in-vivo DC-targeted platforms, bridge the gap between manufacturing feasibility and potent immune activation. Emerging technologies, including AI-driven neoepitope prediction, receptor-targeted antigen delivery, biomaterial-based modulation, and distributed mRNA manufacturing, seem to be promising approaches to accelerate personalized vaccine development in future. From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases. Host HLA diversity, prior immune history, and viral evolution create heterogeneity in immune responses, highlighting opportunities for semi-personalized or adaptive strategies. In this review, we provide a landscape of personalized vaccines, with a focus on DC-based platforms, and explore translational lessons for viral pathogens. A conceptual framework linking cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease preparedness is proposed, emphasizing hybrid personalization approaches, rapid manufacturing, and AI-enabled epitope selection. This perspective highlights how convergence of immunology, computational biology, and advanced vaccine technologies could expand the scope of personalized vaccination, from oncology to future epidemic and pandemic scenarios as well as the current challenges.\n\nID: 42531983\nTitle: Over-induction of innate immune responses suppresses T cell response to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.\nAbstract: SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines elicit robust T cell responses in children, resulting in substantial protection against hospitalisation and severe disease. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive this robust cellular immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines in children remains unknown. Here, 37 immunological na\u00efve children underwent primary vaccination (age 6-10) with the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine and did not acquire natural infection before month 3; bulk RNA sequencing was performed at pre-vaccination baseline and day 1 post vaccination, and Spike-reactive T cell responses were measured at 3\u00a0months. Using previously established threshold of T cell responses for clinical protection against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2, we divided our cohort into high responders (n\u00a0=\u00a021) and low responders (n\u00a0=\u00a015). Analyses of day 1 post-vaccination gene expression signatures revealed greater induction of innate immune responses, including heightened expression of transcription factors such as STAT1, ATF3 and IRF7 was observed in low responders compared to high responders. On the other hand, LEP, PLCE1 and PLPP2 expression was significantly downregulated in low responders, with strong predictive value for T cell responses at 3\u00a0months post-vaccination (AUROC 0.89, 95% CI 0.78-1.00). Taken together, these findings suggest that future mRNA vaccine design and vaccination regimens should aim to modulate excessive innate immune responses to improve T cell responses to mRNA vaccines.\n\nID: 42528137\nTitle: Capless self-amplifying mRNA vaccine induces dose-sparing protective immunity against HPAI clade 2.3.4.4 H5 virus in mice.\nAbstract: Self-amplifying mRNA (samRNA) vaccines can induce potent immune responses at lower doses than conventional non-replicating mRNA vaccines; however, large RNA size and manufacturing considerations associated with 5' capping remain important challenges. Here, we developed a capless samRNA (CLsamRNA) vaccine platform derived from a Coxsackievirus B5 replicon that uses IRES-mediated cap-independent translation. Systematic optimization of key genetic elements enhanced antigen expression from the CLsamRNA backbone. Using reporter RNAs, LNP-formulated CLsamRNA showed rapid early expression and RNA amplification, with expression kinetics distinct from VEEV-based saRNA and nucleoside-modified mRNA comparators. When encoding the hemagglutinin antigen of highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses, CLsamRNA induced potent immune responses after LNP formulation. In mouse models, CLsamRNA induced potent neutralizing antibody responses, cross-reactive activity against clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus, Th1-skewed humoral immunity, and strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses. CLsamRNA also elicited platform-specific early inflammatory and lymph-node immune gene signatures associated with antigen presentation, costimulation, and cellular immune priming. Notably, a minimal 0.01 \u03bcg dose of CLsamRNA conferred complete protection against lethal H5N8 influenza virus challenge in BALB/c mice. These findings support CLsamRNA as a distinct cap-independent RNA vaccine platform with dose-sparing protective efficacy against HPAI H5 viruses.\n\nID: 42522246\nTitle: The Role of CD4 T Cell Repertoire and Immune Memory Mechanisms in Vaccination and Infection Immunity.\nAbstract: CD4+ T cells orchestrate adaptive immunity against respiratory viruses through functionally distinct subsets, yet the qualitative differences between vaccine- and infection-induced responses remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection.\n\nID: 42519570\nTitle: Evaluation of lipid nanoparticle adjuvants with different PEG lipid ratios and phospholipid modifications in non-human primates.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used in mRNA vaccines possess adjuvant activity, but little is known about the composition-function relationships that drive their adjuvanticity. Recent studies demonstrated that, in addition to the ionizable lipids, the type of phospholipids and the ratio of polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipids in LNPs also influence the magnitude and quality of vaccine-induced immune responses. Here we evaluated the cellular and humoral immunity elicited by LNPs with different phospholipids and PEG lipid ratios in cynomolgus macaques. We observed differences in antibody and CD4+ T cell responses across LNP groups, although not all comparisons reached statistical significance, likely due to the limited sample size. While this study was exploratory, the findings differed from those previously obtained with these LNPs in mice, confirming the importance of assessing LNP formulations in non-human primates prior to clinical evaluation.\n\nID: 42514945\nTitle: Optimization of Therapeutic modRNA Delivery to the Lung for Prevention of Pulmonary Fibrosis.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and fatal disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition and irreversible lung remodeling. Although modified mRNA (modRNA) therapeutics offer a promising strategy for regulating disease-driving pathways, effective pulmonary delivery remains challenging due to the inherent liver tropism of conventional lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). This study aimed to establish an optimized platform for lung-selective modRNA delivery and therapeutic screening for pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: A panel of charge-modified LNP formulations was evaluated in vivo for pulmonary tropism following systemic administration of luciferase (Luc) modRNA. Administration routes, biodistribution in healthy and bleomycin (BLM)-induced fibrotic lungs, and endogenous microRNA (miRNA)-mediated de-targeting strategies were assessed. Candidate antifibrotic modRNAs targeting the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2) signaling pathway were subsequently evaluated in normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLFs). Results: Among the formulations tested, 50% DOTAP MC3 LNPs demonstrated the most favorable balance of pulmonary transfection, physicochemical properties, and limited off-target expression. Intravenous (IV) administration achieved robust lung expression with a superior safety profile compared with intratracheal (IT) delivery. Importantly, pulmonary biodistribution was preserved in BLM-induced fibrotic lungs despite extensive tissue remodeling. Incorporation of miR-122 recognition sites further enhanced selectivity, resulting in 94.5% of total transgene expression being localized to the lungs while substantially reducing residual hepatic expression. In vitro screening identified dominant-negative TGF-\u03b2 receptor II (DNTGFBR2) modRNA as a potent inhibitor of TGF-\u03b2-induced fibrotic activation, significantly suppressing \u03b1-SMA and CTGF expression. Conclusions: These findings establish a comprehensive platform for pulmonary modRNA therapeutic development by integrating lung-selective LNP engineering, optimal systemic delivery, miRNA-mediated de-targeting, and therapeutic payload screening. This strategy provides a foundation for the development of targeted RNA therapies for pulmonary fibrosis and other organ-specific diseases.\n\nID: 42511517\nTitle: SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination Induces Reduced T-Cell Apoptosis in Patients with Solid Tumors.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent a transformative platform in vaccinology, with applications extending beyond SARS-CoV-2 to other infectious diseases and cancer immunotherapy. However, patients with solid tumors receiving active anticancer treatment were largely underrepresented in pivotal vaccination trials, limiting understanding of vaccine-induced immunity in this population. In this prospective exploratory study, we assessed humoral and cellular immune responses after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in 39 patients with solid tumors undergoing active treatment. Blood samples were collected before vaccination and approximately two months after the second vaccine dose, prior to the next treatment cycle. Anti-spike IgG, neutralizing antibodies, receptor-binding domain (RBD) levels, interleukin-6 (IL-6), hematological parameters, immune cell subsets, T-cell differentiation, and early apoptosis in \u03b1\u03b2 and \u03b3\u03b4 T-cell subsets were analyzed. Vaccination induced a robust humoral response, with high post-vaccination anti-spike IgG levels (median 988.69 BAU/mL), 97.44% seropositivity, 96.88% true seroconversion among baseline IgG-/NAb- patients, and strong neutralizing antibody activity (median 85.73%). Hematological parameters and IL-6 levels remained broadly stable, suggesting no detectable increase in systemic inflammation during the study period. Cellular analyses identified a reduction in peripheral CD19+ B-cell frequencies and decreased early apoptosis, particularly in CD8+ T cells and CD3+CD56+ NKT-like cells. Although changes in T-cell frequencies and differentiation profiles were also observed, these findings were attenuated after exclusion of participants with possible prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure and should be interpreted as exploratory. Overall, these results show that patients with solid tumors receiving active treatment can mount robust humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination and suggest measurable post-vaccination changes in lymphocyte dynamics, including reduced early T-cell apoptosis.\n\nID: 42506633\nTitle: Engineered mRNA Nanoparticle Platforms for Respiratory Mucosal Delivery.\nAbstract: Respiratory mucosal vaccination can induce robust humoral and cellular immune responses, as well as effective mucosal immunity at the primary site of pathogen entry, and has been shown to provide superior protection against respiratory viral infections compared with traditional approaches. Among current vaccine technologies, mRNA vaccines offer unique advantages, including rapid development, flexible antigen design, and potent immunogenicity. However, efficient mucosal delivery of mRNA remains challenging due to biological barriers within the respiratory tract, including mucus clearance, limited cellular uptake, and instability during aerosolization. Furthermore, mRNA formulations intended for respiratory mucosal delivery require more stringent safety and tolerability profiles. Recent advances in nanoparticle engineering have accelerated the development of mRNA delivery systems optimized for respiratory mucosal immunization. This review aims to evaluate how nanoparticle engineering strategies can overcome respiratory mucosal barriers and improve the safety, stability, delivery efficiency, extrahepatic expression, and immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. We summarize recent progress in engineered mRNA nanoparticle platforms for respiratory mucosal immunity, encompassing modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), polymer-based mRNA nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticle systems, including lipid-inorganic, polymeric hybrid, and lipid-extracellular vesicle (EV) nanoparticles. We further discuss optimization strategies for mucosal mRNA delivery, including the incorporation of appropriate adjuvants, the development of polyethylene glycol (PEG) alternatives, and advanced delivery approaches. Finally, we highlight current challenges and future directions for the rational design of next-generation mRNA nanoparticle platforms that can induce durable and broadly protective mucosal immunity against respiratory viral infections.\n\nID: 42505558\nTitle: From Pandemic Innovation to Platform Diversification: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Preclinical Development of Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccines.\nAbstract: Background: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as a versatile platform beyond SARS-CoV-2, with expanding applications in infectious diseases and oncology. However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation.\n\nID: 42504429\nTitle: Precisely Engineered Block Copolymers for Efficient PTEN mRNA Therapy of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.\nAbstract: Restoring the tumor suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) offers a promising therapeutic strategy for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In particular, mRNA-based therapy provides a compelling alternative to small molecules and DNA-based gene therapy, combining high specificity with an excellent safety profile. However, its clinical translation hinges on the development of safe and efficient delivery systems. In this study, we present a rationally designed diblock copolymer that mediates highly effective PTEN mRNA delivery both in vitro and in vivo. The copolymer consists of a stealth PEG block and a cationic binding block, with precisely engineered 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide (DMAPMA) units. Following optimization of the PEG chain length, the structure PEG45-b-P(AAPBA21-co-DMAPMA18) achieved a critical balance of delivery properties, leading to enhanced cellular uptake, facilitated endosomal escape, and enabled mRNA release for protein translation. When further functionalized with folic acid (FA), the copolymer successfully restored PTEN expression and inhibited tumor growth (81.0% relative to the PBS control group) in vivo, with no significant toxicity observed under the tested conditions. We anticipate that this block copolymer-based PTEN mRNA delivery platform could provide a promising new approach for the treatment of NSCLC.\n\nID: 42486052\nTitle: Real-world effectiveness and safety of protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (BEEHIVE trial).\nAbstract: Real-world vaccine effectiveness (VE) and relative VE (rVE) data of protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections inform policy recommendations and reinforce public confidence. The study aim was to assess the safety and VE of the 2023-2024 protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5) in a real-world setting. The single-site, pragmatic BEEHIVE clinical trial was conducted among participants aged \u226518\u00a0years from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area, who had previously received \u22652 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, from November 17, 2023, through September 9, 2024. Randomized participants received a protein-based or mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a double-blind manner. An unblinded, nonrandomized comparator control group that did not receive a study vaccine was also enrolled. The primary aim measured VE between the randomized and comparator groups. The secondary aim was to measure rVE between the 2 vaccine platforms. In the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, VE and rVE were estimated using a proportional-hazards model for symptomatic infections confirmed by weekly self-administered rapid antigen tests (RATs) over 24\u00a0weeks, adjusted for covariates. Reactogenicity and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded. Randomized cohorts (N\u00a0=\u00a0909; protein-based, n\u00a0=\u00a0452; mRNA, n\u00a0=\u00a0457) were largely well-balanced with some differences in baseline covariates versus the comparator group (n\u00a0=\u00a0279), mostly age-related. The mITT population had 142 RAT-confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases with an adjusted VE of 43.6% (95% CI, 18.3-61.0); rVE (protein-based vs mRNA) was -26.7% (90% CI, -78.6% to 10.1%) and did not reach statistical significance. Safety and reactogenicity were comparable to previously reported findings, with no serious study vaccine-related TEAEs, myocarditis/pericarditis, hospitalization, or death. This is one of the earliest real-world trials evaluating the VE of the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5). These results suggest that both protein-based and mRNA vaccines are well-tolerated and significantly reduce the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.\n\nID: 42486049\nTitle: Dengue vaccines: The role of a correlate of protection in evaluating vaccine safety and risk.\nAbstract: Dengue remains a significant global health challenge, with incidence rising and over half the world's population at risk. Vaccines could play an important role in controlling dengue, but without a validated correlate of protection (CoP), vaccine development relies on large, costly, and complex phase 3 field efficacy trials that are often underpowered for evaluating efficacy and safety by individual DENV serotypes in individuals who have never been infected with a dengue virus (i.e., DENV-na\u00efve individuals). A validated CoP would help developers make informed decisions about the best vaccine candidates for testing in costly phase 3 field trials. A CoP might enable licensure of dengue vaccines based on efficacy endpoint trials of shorter duration and use of immunogenicity data to bridge efficacy data to other populations, which could accelerate the pathway from vaccine trials to operational dengue vaccination programs. Recognizing the urgent need for vaccine development and licensure, a group of experts in dengue vaccinology convened in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from March 14-15, 2024, to define a research agenda for establishing a CoP. The meeting brought together experts from academia, government, U.S. regulatory agencies, and public health organizations who identified key barriers to CoP validation, discussed lack of assay standardization and limited regulatory consensus, and identified the most promising CoP candidates. Experts agreed that neutralizing antibodies to unique epitopes on each serotype (i.e., type-specific antibodies) are the most promising biomarker for DENV-na\u00efve individuals (the most challenging subgroup for establishing safety and efficacy) and emphasized the need for harmonized assays and validation studies using clinical trial samples. The group also discussed the role of alternative trial modalities, such as human challenge studies and nonhuman primate models, in supplementing regulatory submissions where phase 3 efficacy data may be incomplete. This article outlines the key research priorities identified at the meeting and provides a framework for advancing CoP validation to accelerate dengue vaccine development, licensure, and implementation. By aligning scientific, regulatory, and industry efforts around these priorities, the field can move more quickly toward broad access to safe and effective dengue vaccines.\n\nID: 42481451\nTitle: Personalized cancer vaccines: bridging immune-oncology and precision medicine for advanced therapeutics.\nAbstract: Despite advancements in therapeutic cancer vaccines, clinical translation has been hindered by limited efficacy, with Sipuleucel-T remaining the only FDA-approved therapeutic cancer vaccine to date. However, recent advances in personalized mRNA vaccines, such as Moderna's mRNA-4157 and BioNTech's autogene cevumeran, have demonstrated significant reductions in recurrence risk and improved survival across several cancer types, renewing optimism in the field. Personalized cancer vaccines leverage patient-specific tumor antigens to initiate potent and targeted immune responses. This review outlines various classes of personalized vaccines, including DNA-, mRNA-, peptide-, dendritic cell-, and whole-cell-based platforms, and examines the immunological challenges they face, such as tumor heterogeneity, immunosuppressive microenvironments, and inadequate immune memory. To address these limitations, both conventional and nanotechnology-enhanced delivery systems have been developed. Notably, nanovaccines constructed from lipid-polymer hybrids, biomimetic membranes, and stimulus-responsive materials enable codelivery of neoantigens and immunostimulatory agonists, promoting enhanced lymph node targeting, dendritic cell activation, and antigen cross-presentation. Furthermore, biomimetic formulations incorporating autologous tumor membranes preserve native antigenic diversity and allow dynamic adaptation to evolving tumors. When integrated with artificial intelligence for antigen selection and multiomics for patient stratification, these platforms accelerate vaccine design and improve precision. Combination regimens with immune checkpoint inhibitors or other agents further potentiate efficacy and promote durable antitumor immunity. Increasing clinical evidence, especially in melanoma and pancreatic cancer, underscores the potential of these strategies to induce long-term protection and reduce recurrence. Overall, next-generation personalized cancer vaccines are advancing the transition from reactive treatment to proactive, precision-controlled cancer immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42478765\nTitle: Molecular Dynamics-Guided Sterol Engineering of mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticles Reprograms Biodistribution and Enhances Spleen-Selective Immunity.\nAbstract: Multicomponent membrane organization of mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) critically determines their formulation behavior, organ selectivity, and immunological outcomes. However, compared to ionizable lipids, sterols remain a relatively underexplored design axis. This study discusses the engineering of a library of nine bile acid-derived sterols with different hydroxylation patterns and alkyl tail lengths, and systematically maps how sterol structure governs formulation-level properties and organ-level expression profiles. After integrating physicochemical characterization with all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the experimentally observed formulation behaviors correlate with MD-derived membrane structural descriptors. These descriptors provide a quantitative evaluation framework for prioritizing sterol chemotypes based on their predicted encapsulation performance and membrane organization, supporting the notion that sterol-dependent membrane organization provides a structural basis for formulation properties, including mRNA encapsulation. Moreover, substituting cholesterol with bile acid-derived sterols consistently attenuated hepatic expression and shifted organ-level expression toward spleen-dominant profiles, which is central to immune priming and adaptive immune activation. Among bile acid-derived sterols, CA-20 LNPs functionally enhance antigen-specific humoral immunity and elicit antigen-specific cellular immune responses, including improved memory-associated immune features, while maintaining an acute safety profile. Collectively, these results establish sterol engineering as a powerful design strategy for modulating LNP formulation properties, in vivo fate, and immunological function.\n\nID: 42478210\nTitle: Toll-like receptor responses are shaped by distinct MAPK activation profiles.\nAbstract: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key sensors of infection and injury, and are critical inducers of inflammation. TLR-induced activation of the NF-\u03baB and MAPK pathways promotes the secretion of mediators of inflammation such as cytokines and chemokines. Control of cytokine production is critically important, as unnecessary inflammatory responses can lead to tissue damage, while insufficient inflammatory responses can lead to susceptibility to infection. Previous studies showed that TLR4 uses distinct NF-\u03baB and MAPK activation properties to discriminate between low and high concentrations of ligand, triggering cytokine production only at ligand concentrations that activate both pathways. The switch-like activation of MAPKs by TLR4 establishes an inflammatory threshold for ligand concentrations that facilitates threat discrimination. Using murine macrophages, we reveal that MAPK activation properties are TLR-specific, and that switch-like MAPK activation is not a general feature of all TLRs. Consequently, certain TLRs do not have an inflammatory threshold of ligand concentration and may not effectively filter signal from noise. The activation properties of the ERK pathway, rather than messenger RNA levels, dictate the patterns of TNF\u03b1 cytokine secretion for all TLRs examined. We demonstrate that the TLR4 inflammatory threshold can be modulated by costimulation with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in an ERK-dependent manner. We show that deletion of BCL-3 changes the TLR4-induced ERK pathway activation properties from switch-like to gradual and lowers the activation threshold. We reveal that different TLRs have different capacities to discriminate threats based on ligand concentration, and that ERK pathway activation properties can be altered to change the cellular decision to initiate inflammation.\n\nID: 42477513\nTitle: Anti-PEG Antibodies From mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Affect In\u00a0Vitro Measurements of Pegylated Drug Levels.\nAbstract: The recent adoption of mRNA-based technology for vaccine development has led to widespread exposure to new vaccine components, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), against which antibodies may be made. This study assesses the presence of anti-PEG antibodies in human serum following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and if these antibodies could interfere with drug level assessment of PEG containing drugs. Elevated anti-PEG antibody titers with prolonged prevalence were detected in individuals who received the mRNA-1273 vaccine as compared to control samples. Anti-PEG antibody levels were approximately 10-fold higher post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination in approximately 33% of assessed mRNA-1273 vaccine recipients. Elevated anti-PEG antibody levels persisted for over 6\u2009months. Serum from those who received the BNT162b2 or Ad26.COV2.S vaccines had anti-PEG antibody levels similar to control samples. Serum from individuals with elevated anti-PEG antibodies, regardless of study group, typically showed decreased detection of the pegylated drug, pegfilgrastim. This study demonstrates that anti-PEG antibodies have the potential to interfere with bioanalytical assays used for pharmacokinetic drug measurement during the development of pegylated pharmaceutical products, as well as during the establishment of comparability to pegylated reference products during development of biosimilar drug products.\n\nID: 42474084\nTitle: Defining Composition-Cytokine Relationships Enables the Design of Lipid Nanoparticles with Programmed Immunogenicity.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are central to next-generation vaccines, yet candidate selection remains largely empirical, limiting early identification of formulations associated with rare adverse events such as myocarditis. A better understanding of LNP composition-immunogenicity relationships is therefore critical for rational vaccine design. Here, we profiled a panel of clinically relevant LNP formulations across complementary in vitro and in vivo models to define mechanisms underlying innate immune activation and adaptive responses. We identified three distinct cytokine programs: (i) a monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-dominated inflammatory response associated with cytotoxic stress; (ii) inflammasome-dependent interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2) secretion requiring pro-inflammatory priming; and (iii) type I and II interferon-dependent responses in which LNPs synergize with interferon gamma (IFN\u03b3) to amplify interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) production. Using a design of experiments (DoE) framework\u00a0with formulation feature analysis, we found that polyethylene glycol-conjugated (PEGylated) lipid content and ionizable lipid identity are key modulators of the IFN\u03b3/IP-10 axis, previously implicated in vaccine-associated myocarditis. In vivo validation showed that innate cytokine responses are strongly influenced by lipid composition, whereas adaptive humoral and cellular responses correlate with transgene expression rather than cytokine magnitude. Collectively, these findings define relationships among LNP composition, cytokine induction, and vaccine efficacy, and provide a framework for rational design and screening of LNP-based vaccines that maximize immunogenicity while minimizing reactogenicity.\n\nID: 42471045\nTitle: Bridging the vaccine gap: Scientific and technological advances for diseases lacking effective vaccines.\nAbstract: Despite remarkable achievements in infectious disease control, more than 20 major pathogens responsible for significant global morbidity and mortality remain without licensed, effective vaccines. This so-called 'vaccine gap' disproportionately burdens low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), exacerbating health inequities and threatening global pandemic preparedness. This review comprehensively examines scientific and technological advances that are actively bridging the vaccine gap, with emphasis on novel platform technologies, immunological innovations, and translational strategies. We conducted a systematic narrative review of literature published between 2015 and 2024, encompassing peer-reviewed articles, WHO reports, clinical trial registries, and regulatory agency databases. Six transformative technology clusters were identified: (1) mRNA and self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) platforms enabling rapid antigen production; (2) viral-vectored vaccines with improved immune breadth; (3) structure-guided antigen design using cryo-electron microscopy and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven protein engineering; (4) broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies as surrogate vaccine benchmarks; (5) mucosal and inhalable delivery systems targeting tissue-resident immunity; and (6) combination adjuvant systems amplifying magnitude and durability of protective responses. Clinical translation is exemplified by candidates against HIV-1, tuberculosis (TB), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants, and Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Convergence of AI-assisted rational antigen design, next-generation mRNA platforms, and innovative adjuvant-delivery pairings represents a paradigm shift toward vaccinatable diseases previously considered intractable. Equitable access frameworks and regulatory harmonisation across LMICs remain critical unresolved challenges.\n\nID: 42467780\nTitle: A distinct antigen presentation pathway drives potent T cell immunity in lipid nanoparticle-based mRNA vaccines.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA (mRNA-LNP) vaccines trigger the potent differentiation of antigen-specific cytotoxic CD8 T cells in addition to antibody production. Despite its high immunogenicity, the cellular mechanisms by which mRNA-LNP induces such unusual immune responses remain largely unclear. Here, we show that mRNA-LNP induces potent and long-lasting CD8 T cell expansion through an antigen presentation mechanism that differs from that of conventional adjuvants. In mice immunized with mRNA-LNP, the number of antigen-specific CD8 T cells was one order of magnitude higher than that induced by combining antigen proteins with immunostimulants such as lipopolysaccharide or polyinosinic:polycytidinic acid. Intramuscularly administered mRNA-LNPs were mainly taken up by migratory type 2 conventional dendritic cells in draining lymph nodes, resulting in notably strong and persistent antigen presentation through major histocompatibility complex class I. Furthermore, CD8 T cell induction by mRNA-LNP required migratory dendritic cells but not the traditional cross-presentation pathway that is otherwise essential for antiviral and antitumor immunity. Thus, the mRNA-LNP formulation exerts unconventional immune responses through a different antigen-presentation pathway from conventional component vaccines.\n\nID: 42465888\nTitle: COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination Reduces Guillain-Barr\u00e9 Syndrome Risk: Evidence from a Large Longitudinal Cohort Study.\nAbstract: The association between COVID-19 vaccination and Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome (GBS) has been previously investigated with inconsistent results, largely due to limited data and lack of concurrent controls. To address this problem, a large longitudinal cohort study was conducted using National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) data. While COVID-19 infection was associated with increased GBS occurrence, COVID-19 vaccination was associated with significantly reduced GBS risk relative to unexposed (unvaccinated and uninfected) control, corresponding to a 61% lower 30-day risk (incidence risk ratio: IRR = 0.39, P < 0.01), consistent with multivariable Cox regression showing a similar reduction (adjusted hazard ratio: aHR = 0.41, P < 0.01). This protective association was observed only among recipients of mRNA vaccines (BNT162b2: IRR = 0.38, P < 0.01; mRNA-1273: IRR = 0.24, P < 0.01), but not among recipients of adenoviral-vector vaccines (IRR = 1.38, P > 0.05). Prior COVID-19 vaccination also reduced infection-associated GBS risk. Additional factors associated with GBS risk included sex, vaccine dose, and pre-existing comorbidities such as stroke, neurological disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Overall, our N3C large-scale study provides evidence that COVID-19 mRNA vaccination reduces GBS risk, supporting the safety profile of mRNA vaccines and warranting further mechanistic investigation.\n\nID: 42457878\nTitle: Variant-specific and cross-reactive antibody responses following COVID-19 booster vaccinations and SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections.\nAbstract: SARS-CoV-2 has evolved into several genetic variants, all bearing mutations that reduce antibody binding and affect vaccine and treatment effectiveness. Updated COVID-19 vaccines, including bivalent formulations (wild type [WT]/BA.1 or WT/BA.5) and more recent monovalent versions targeting emerging variants such as XBB.1.5, JN.1, KP.2 or LP.8.1, were developed to broaden protection. However, immune imprinting may limit the induction of neutralizing antibodies against strains that differ significantly, even after receiving several variant-specific boosters. A deeper understanding of how booster vaccination reshapes antibody specificity remains essential for rational vaccine design. We examined the antibody response to a bivalent WT/BA.5 booster, focusing on antibody levels and neutralization. Serum samples collected before and after a fourth dose of monovalent WT or bivalent (WT/BA.5) mRNA vaccines were compared with sera from individuals after primary WT infections and Omicron BA.1, BA.2, or BA.5 breakthrough infections. We found that both monovalent and bivalent boosters significantly increased IgG and neutralizing antibodies, but breakthrough infections induced broader cross-reactive responses. Depletion experiments revealed that booster-induced immunity was predominantly mediated by cross-reactive antibodies, with the highest levels after breakthrough infections and the lowest after a primary WT infection. These findings provide functional insights into the antibody specificities associated with imprinting effects following variant-adapted booster vaccination.\n\nID: 42449959\nTitle: Recombinant Alphaherpesvirus Vectors in Veterinary Vaccinology: Platforms, Applications, and Translational Challenges.\nAbstract: Animal infectious diseases impose severe economic burdens on livestock industries, threaten wildlife populations, and compromise food security. Although vaccination remains the cornerstone of disease prevention, conventional vaccine platforms are often constrained by safety, efficacy, or manufacturing scalability. This narrative review provides a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art in herpesvirus-vectored vaccines for veterinary applications, focusing on five well-characterized alphaherpesviruses: Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1), Pseudorabies virus (PRV), Marek's disease virus (MDV), Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), and Duck enteritis virus (DEV). The intrinsic characteristics of herpesviruses, including large, stable genomes; the capacity for foreign gene insertion; broad host tropism; and the ability to elicit robust humoral and cellular immunity, are examined, and their performance is compared with that of traditional vaccine platforms. Key advances in vectored vaccine development are highlighted, from proof-of-concept studies to the creation of advanced multivalent constructs. These approaches demonstrate protective efficacy against a range of significant animal pathogens, including foot-and-mouth disease virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, avian influenza virus, infectious bursal disease virus, and West Nile virus. The literature was identified through systematic searches of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science (1990-2026), followed by title/abstract screening and reference chaining. Future directions in vector engineering, mucosal delivery, and synthetic biology approaches are considered. Herpesvirus-vectored vaccines represent a versatile platform for enhancing animal health, supporting sustainable agriculture, and mitigating zoonotic risks.\n\nID: 42442546\nTitle: A novel bivalent neoantigen vaccine based on mRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles eradicates hepatocellular carcinoma in mice.\nAbstract: Herein, we report the development of a novel bivalent neoantigen vaccine against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that integrates the technologies of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. A spleen-homing LNP formulation, CL15H6 LNPs, was used to deliver mRNAs encoding for the epitopes of HCC-specific neoantigens; Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and Glypican 3 (GPC3), to splenic dendritic cells (DCs) via intravenous administration. The mRNA delivery efficiency and subsequent cellular immune responses were assessed post-administration. The prophylactic and therapeutic activities were then evaluated against HCC challenges in mice, and the biosafety of the developed vaccine was evaluated through histo-pathological, serological, and cytokine examinations. CL15H6 LNPs demonstrated functional mRNA delivery efficiency, antigen presentation efficiency, and expression of co-stimulatory molecules on splenic DCs that proved superior to that of clinically relevant formulations, and also elicited a higher proportion of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Pre-immunization with two doses of the developed bivalent vaccine completely protected mice from HCC challenge, unlike the corresponding monovalent vaccines. Moreover, treatment of HCC-bearing mice with two doses of the bivalent vaccine successfully eliminated HCC. Characterization of the immune microenvironment in the spleen post-treatment revealed a high upregulation of CTL-related genes, immunostimulatory cytokines, and memory function markers. Furthermore, repeated administrations of the developed vaccine induced less pro-inflammatory cytokines than a clinically relevant counterpart, and neither damaged tissues nor impaired organ functions. The novel neoantigen vaccine and the versatile mRNA delivery platform reported herein are promising for use in clinical applications.\n\nID: 42441816\nTitle: Optimized seasonal influenza mRNA vaccine compositions demonstrate safety and enhanced immunogenicity in a phase 2 study.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes considerable morbidity and mortality, with influenza A and B viruses driving most influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths. Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382.\n\nID: 42440506\nTitle: CD4 T cell phenotype after AS01-adjuvanted immunization is shaped by prior antigen or pathogen exposure.\nAbstract: CD4 T-cell responses are important for the protection conferred by many infectious disease vaccines and can be quantitatively and qualitatively improved by adjuvants. The AS01 adjuvant is present in critical licensed or candidate vaccines against, amongst others, zoster, respiratory syncytial virus, malaria and tuberculosis. During their clinical development, these vaccines have been evaluated in populations ranging from immunologically na\u00efve to strongly pathogen-primed individuals. We dissected the vaccine-induced CD4 T-cell responses across these studies, to elucidate how pre-existing immune memory in the host drives the polyfunctional phenotype of the vaccine-induced CD4 T cells. Across the investigated vaccines, a consistent pattern emerged, in which the capacity of antigen-specific vaccine-induced CD4 T cells to produce interferon-\u03b3 appeared to depend on increased levels of prior exposure, leading to pre-existing memory T cells. As the dominant origin of a vaccine-induced CD4 T-cell response (i.e., memory cells with a pre-existing T-cell receptor repertoire, or newly recruited na\u00efve cells) remains to be clarified, this observation helps to guide future research into efficacious next-generation vaccines tailored to the specific immune priming status of the target population.\n\nID: 42427150\nTitle: Self-Cooperative RNA Vaccine Mitigates Dendritic Cell-Mediated Acquired Immune Resistance to Potentiate Cell Therapy for Solid Tumors.\nAbstract: Conventional mRNA cancer vaccines are designed to maximize antigen potency but often overlook vaccination-induced immune resistance. In this study, we identified a negative immune regulatory mechanism, whereby mRNA vaccination induces programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in dendritic cells (DCs) through type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. Elevated PD-L1 expression impairs T-cell priming in lymph nodes through engagement of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) on T lymphocytes. To address this challenge, we developed a self-cooperative RNA vaccine (SCORV) strategy by co-delivering antigen-encoding RNA and small interfering RNA against PD-L1 (siPD-L1) within a single lipid nanoparticle (LNP). Through iterative screening of >300 ionizable lipids, we optimized a DC-targeted LNP formulation with high RNA delivery efficiency and minimal immunotoxicity. SCORV simultaneously suppresses PD-L1-mediated immune resistance during antigen presentation and enhances T cell priming while alleviating T cell exhaustion. Importantly, SCORV potentiates the tumor reactivity of adoptively transferred tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and elicits robust antitumor immunity in murine melanoma and hepatocellular carcinoma models. This work highlights a rational design principle for mRNA vaccines that self-correct vaccination-induced immune resistance.\n\nID: 42424692\nTitle: Lymph node-targeted mRNA delivery of fine-tuned peptide-nanocomplexes for SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines require efficient delivery systems to reach antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a standard delivery carrier. However, LNPs often accumulate in the liver and exhibit transient protein expression. These limitations can restrict their safety and immunogenic potential. Here, we developed a modular, peptide-based nanocomplex to overcome the current limitations. The system comprises three functional peptides: an RNA-binding peptide (RBP) for condensation, l-polyglutamic acid (PGA) for charge modulation, and an APC-targeting cell-penetrating peptide (A-CPP). This A-CPP features a newly discovered 7-mer immune cell-binding motif identified in this study. We optimized the physicochemical properties by systematically fine-tuning the ratios of these peptide modules. The optimized nanocomplex formed stable particles under 200\u202fnm. Unlike LNPs, which showed significant liver accumulation, the peptide-nanocomplexes remained localized at the injection site and effectively drained to the lymph nodes. Furthermore, the peptide-nanocomplex retained mRNA expression for up to 7 days in vivo, whereas LNP-mediated expression diminished within 48\u202fh. In mice immunized with SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA, this prolonged antigen exposure elicited robust neutralizing antibody titers comparable to LNPs. Notably, the peptide-nanocomplex induced significantly higher CD8+ T cell responses than LNPs. Moreover, the peptide-nanocomplex demonstrated an excellent safety profile in vivo with no toxicity observed even after daily injections for two weeks at doses up to 200 times higher. This study establishes a data-driven fine-tuning strategy for peptide-based mRNA delivery. The resulting peptide-nanocomplex offers a safer, lymph node-targeted, and longer-lasting efficacy alternative to lipid-based carriers for next-generation vaccines.\n\nID: 42415697\nTitle: Dynamics of Circulating Follicular Helper and Regulatory T-Cell Memory Induced by mRNA, Inactivated, and Live-Attenuated Vaccines.\nAbstract: OX40 signaling promotes the differentiation of memory CD4+ T cells into T follicular helper (Tfh) cells that support germinal center (GC) B-cell responses. Using an extended activation-induced marker (AIM) assay based on OX40 (CD134) and CD25 coexpression, we quantified antigen-specific circulating memory Tfh and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells following in vitro stimulation with influenza, SARS-CoV-2, or measles antigens. Responses were assessed longitudinally in recipients of inactivated influenza (n\u2009=\u200920) and mRNA COVID-19 (n\u2009=\u200913) vaccines and cross-sectionally in individuals vaccinated with the live-attenuated measles vaccine (n\u2009=\u20098). All three vaccines elicited humoral responses. Functional assays, performed when sufficient cell numbers were available, showed that sorted influenza-specific Tfh cells (OX40+CD25+CXCR5+), cocultured with autologous CD27+CD19+ memory B cells, promoted B-cell expansion and antibody secretion. This was accompanied by increased CXCL13, IL-21, soluble CD40L, and APRIL, consistent with effective T-cell help and B-cell activation. Comparative analyses revealed distinct patterns of follicular immune responses: influenza vaccination induced coordinated Tfh and Tfr responses, whereas mRNA COVID-19 vaccination generated increased Tfh but minimal Tfr cells. At peak response, measles and influenza vaccinees exhibited comparable Tfh and Tfr frequencies, while COVID-19 vaccinees showed similar Tfh but reduced Tfr proportions. Overall, the extended AIM assay represents a practical and minimally invasive approach for simultaneous monitoring of Tfh and Tfr populations in humans, providing a scalable framework to investigate follicular immune balance across vaccination settings. Beyond enabling sensitive detection of antigen-specific memory responses, this approach highlights the importance of assessing both helper and regulatory follicular compartments to better understand vaccine-induced immunity.\n\nID: 42412769\nTitle: A piezoelectric electroporator (Piezopen) for enhanced \"naked\" RNA vaccine delivery.\nAbstract: Despite the success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, they still face challenges with high costs, complex manufacturing, off-target biodistribution, and systemic reactogenicity stemming from their inflammatory carriers: lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). While \"naked\" RNA delivery could in principle solve these issues, studies have suggested that it is infeasible due to rapid degradation by RNases and poor cellular entry, thereby necessitating formulations that enhance intracellular delivery and RNA stability. Now, we challenge this paradigm by showing that a simple and inexpensive (<$1), lighter-derived electroporator with microneedle electrodes (Piezopen) can augment gene expression and immunogenicity to naked mRNA leading to comparable responses to LNPs at low doses. We achieve robust responses in the absence of systemic inflammation and reactogenicity using skin-targeted delivery, administer diverse construct types (i.e., mRNA, self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), circular RNA (circRNA)), and demonstrate cross-species validation in live human skin to derisk subsequent clinical application. Our results introduce Piezopen as an inexpensive, well-tolerated, and efficacious alternative to LNPs for mRNA vaccine delivery, designed to facilitate routine vaccinations and pandemic response.\n\nID: 42410167\nTitle: SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity after XBB.1.5 vaccination is not significantly altered by subsequent influenza vaccination in dialysis patients.\nAbstract: Annual immunisation against COVID-19 and seasonal influenza before the winter waves is increasingly recommended in routine practice. These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine. These findings support the use of booster vaccination in these patients and inform future deployment of additional mRNA-based vaccines.\n\nID: 42401363\nTitle: Cross-neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 BA.3.2.2 lineage by JN.1 mRNA vaccine-induced immunity.\nAbstract: The SARS-CoV-2 BA.3.2.2 sublineage has emerged globally as the dominant branch of BA.3.2 by late 2025, yet its antigenic relationship with JN.1 vaccine-induced immunity remains unclear. We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses in 25 JN.1 mRNA vaccinees against eight variants, stratified by anti-nucleocapsid antibody serostatus. Postvaccination titers increased significantly against all variants in both N antibody-negative and -positive groups. Cross-neutralization against BA.3.2.2 was detected in both groups despite lower titers compared to JN.1. Antigenic cartography revealed that BA.3.2.2 was antigenically isolated from all JN.1-descendant variants. AZD3152/sipavibart retained potent neutralization against BA.3.2.2 but completely lost activity against all F456L-harboring JN.1-descendant variants, while VYD222/pemivibart and SA55 maintained broad activity. Retention of wild-type F456 in BA.3.2.2 preserves class 1/2 antibody epitopes, providing a mechanistic basis for cross-neutralization and suggesting a potential therapeutic window for sipavibart should BA.3.2.2 expand globally, pending clinical confirmation.\n\nID: 42401241\nTitle: Endogenous-metabolite-inspired polyamine-oleic acid lipids for safe mRNA delivery and PCSK9 gene editing.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for nucleic acid delivery but often rely on synthetic ionizable cationic lipids that pose concerns regarding immunogenicity, metabolic compatibility, and tolerability. Here, we report an endogenous-metabolite-inspired lipid design strategy in which biogenic polyamines, including agmatine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine, were conjugated with oleic acid to generate polyamine-oleic acid lipids for mRNA delivery. Among these candidates, agmatine-oleic acid (Agm-oa) showed the best overall performance, forming LNPs with high mRNA encapsulation efficiency, uniform particle size distribution and robust in vitro transfection activity. Agm-oa displayed behavior distinct from that of classical ionizable lipids, with strong mRNA association likely mediated by its guanidinium-containing headgroup through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Beyond its delivery function, Agm-oa retained bioactivity associated with its agmatine-derived headgroup. Notably, agmatine and other bioactive metabolites released during Agm-oa degradation may suppress nitric oxide (NO) generation in macrophages while enhancing NO production in endothelial cells, suggesting that Agm-oa LNPs may confer anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effects following LNP decomposition. Moreover, Agm-oa LNPs-mediated adenine base editor delivery achieved efficient on-target editing at the PCSK9 locus. In hypercholesterolemic mice, Agm-oa LNPs enabled effective in vivo mRNA delivery and significant reduction of circulating LDL-C. Importantly, Agm-oa LNPs demonstrated a highly favorable safety profile compared to the benchmark formulations, with significantly lower serum LDH and IL-6 levels and minimal immunogenicity, alongside no detectable hepatotoxicity after repeated administration. Therefore, Agm-oa LNPs represent a safe, well-tolerated platform for nucleic acid delivery, with intrinsic bioactivity that may synergistically enhance therapeutic performance.\n\nID: 42388231\nTitle: Biodegradable lipid nanoparticles for genome editing in the brain via intrathecal administration.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA)-based nonviral delivery of gene editors offers transformative potential for therapeutic genome editing in neurological diseases, but efficient and safe delivery to the brain remains a formidable challenge due to the restrictive blood-brain barrier. Intrathecal administration provides a clinically validated route to bypass this barrier, yet the design principles for biodegradable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) optimized for central nervous system (CNS) delivery remain poorly defined. Here, we synthesized a 200-member combinatorial library of structurally diverse, biodegradable ionizable lipids using the Passerini three-component reaction. High-throughput in vivo screening identified P3B, a lead lipid incorporating degradable linkages and optimized ionizable head groups, which enables potent and well-tolerated intrathecal mRNA delivery. In Ai9 reporter mice, P3B-LNPs encapsulating Cas9 mRNA/sgRNA induced robust and widespread tdTomato expression in neurons and astrocytes across multiple brain regions, achieving substantially higher editing efficiency than the clinical benchmark DLin-MC3-DMA (MC3). In LumA reporter mice, P3B-LNPs mediated efficient adenine base editing, restoring luciferase expression throughout the brain with 14.8% on-target correction and minimal off-target activity. Compared with MC3, P3B-LNPs exhibited enhanced tolerability, with attenuated inflammatory responses and a safety profile supportive of repeated dosing. These findings establish P3B-LNPs as a potent, safe, and biodegradable platform for genome editing in the brain and underscore the power of combinatorial lipid chemistry and high-throughput in vivo screening to accelerate the development of next-generation LNPs for CNS-targeted mRNA therapeutics.\n\nID: 42386968\nTitle: N4-Acetylcytidine enhances synthetic mRNA translation yield and fidelity.\nAbstract: Synthetic mRNA therapeutics offer a versatile platform for treating diverse conditions, including cancer and infectious diseases. For delivery into cells, these mRNAs are encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles and commonly incorporate modified ribonucleotides to improve stability, enhance translation and mitigate immune recognition1. N1-Methylpseudouridine (m1\u03a8) has become the industry standard for synthetic mRNAs owing to its effectiveness in promoting translation and reducing immunogenicity2. However, recent studies have shown that m1\u03a8 can compromise translational fidelity, leading to errors such as premature termination and ribosomal frameshifting3-5. Here we reveal N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) as a functionally distinct alternative to m1\u03a8. Across cultured cell lines, primary human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and mouse liver, ac4C suppressed inflammatory responses as effectively as m1\u03a8 while driving higher protein yields. Single-molecule imaging of translation revealed broadly similar ribosome densities per mRNA for ac4C-modified and m1\u03a8-modified transcripts. However, translation elongation with m1\u03a8-modified mRNA was nearly twofold slower than with ac4C, which resulted in reduced protein output and increased ribosome collisions that further limited protein production through the engagement of quality-control pathways and +1 frameshifting. These findings underscore the importance of context in designing therapeutic mRNAs and position the translation elongation rate as a key determinant of the efficacy of modified ribonucleotides.\n\nID: 42561029\nTitle: Cross-serotype immunity elicited by a consensus dengue NS1 mRNA vaccine in mice.\nAbstract: Dengue virus (DENV) remains a major global health burden, with four antigenically distinct serotypes (DENV-1-4) posing a significant challenge for vaccine development. Dengue non-structural protein 1 (NS1) has been associated with additional protection and reduced disease severity, supporting its inclusion in vaccine design. In this study, we designed a consensus NS1 (cNS1) antigen by integrating sequence elements from all four DENV serotypes (78-89% amino acid identity) to enhance cross-serotype antigenic coverage. The cNS1 sequence was encoded as a nucleoside-modified mRNA and formulated in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA-LNPs). Immunization of BALB/c mice with a low dose (0.2 \u00b5g) of cNS1 mRNA-LNP induced broadly reactive NS1-specific IgG responses that recognized NS1 proteins from all four serotypes. In addition, the vaccine elicited interferon-\u03b3 (IFN-\u03b3)-producing T cell responses against peptide pools derived from multiple DENV serotypes, indicating the activation of cross-reactive cellular immunity. While broad immune recognition was achieved, this was accompanied by lower serotype-specific response magnitudes as a trade-off. In conclusion, the cNS1 mRNA vaccine induces cross-serotype humoral and cellular immune responses in mice, highlighting the potential of consensus antigen design to broaden immune recognition of DENV NS1. These findings support the further development of NS1-based immunogens as complementary components of next-generation dengue vaccines aimed at achieving broad and effective protection.\n\nID: 42560765\nTitle: Interferon regulatory factor 5 in myeloid cells promotes obstructive nephropathy-induced renal fibrosis in vivo.\nAbstract: Obstructive nephropathy is a significant and preventable contributor to chronic kidney disease, yet no disease-modifying anti-fibrotic agents are currently available.We hypothesized that interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) functions as a macrophage transcriptional regulator that directly transactivates matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) to initiate early extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Analysis of 30 human obstructive nephropathy biopsy specimens demonstrated that IRF5+CD68+ macrophage density increased progressively with fibrosis severity and correlated significantly with \u03b1-smooth muscle actin (\u03b1-SMA) positive areas. In the murine unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model, both global and myeloid-specific Irf5 deletion significantly attenuated collagen deposition, immune cell infiltration, and fibrotic gene expression compared with wild-type controls. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) analysis demonstrated that IRF5 directly binds the Mmp9 enhancer region and increases chromatin accessibility. Consequently, myeloid-specific Irf5 knockout significantly reduced Mmp9 mRNA and MMP9 protein levels. Pharmacological inhibition using the IRF5 inhibitor N5-1 mitigated established fibrosis, down-regulated \u03b1-SMA and MMP9 expression, and reduced CD68+ macrophage infiltration. These findings identify the IRF5-MMP9 axis as a therapeutically targetable pathway driving macrophage-mediated ECM expansion and provide pre-clinical evidence supporting IRF5 inhibition as a potential treatment strategy for patients with obstructive nephropathy.\n\nID: 42558510\nTitle: Recombinant Bacillus subtilis spores expressing cholera toxin B and ovalbumin prevent ovalbumin-specific food allergy in mice by upregulating regulatory T cells and modulating gut microbiome flora.\nAbstract: Although oral immunotherapy has shown clinical efficacy in treating food allergies, its broader implementation is constrained by the occurrence of adverse effects. Consequently, inducing allergen-specific immune tolerance during early life can be a preventive strategy to reduce the development of food allergy. Here, we developed a novel fusion protein cholera toxin B (CTB)-ovalbumin (OVA) expressed on Bacillus subtilis (B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA) spore surface and investigated whether B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA spores prevent OVA-induced food allergy in a mouse model and explored the potential underlying mechanisms. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blot were used to confirm that CTB-OVA was expressed on B. subtilis spores. Female BALB/c mice were orally administered with B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA spores and B. subtilis spore control (B.s-CotC and B.s-CotC-CTB) for 4 weeks. Then, sensitization and challenge with OVA were performed on mice. Fecal OVA-secretory IgA (sIgA) and serum OVA-IgE, IgG1, and IgG2a levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The gut microbiome was analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. After challenge, diarrhea score, anaphylactic reactions score, splenocyte interleukin (IL)-10, IL-4, and interferon-\u03b3 (IFN-\u03b3), and Treg levels were measured. mRNA of IL-10, IL-4, IFN-\u03b3, and Foxp3 were measured. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) was used to explore the mechanisms of microbiome in B. subtilis on food allergy. Recombinant CTB-OVA was successfully expressed on the surface of B. subtilis. Oral administration of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA can increase fecal OVA-sIgA, alleviate food allergy symptoms, and decrease serum OVA-IgE in mice with significance (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Moreover, oral administration of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA can significantly reduce serum OVA-IgG1, OVA-IgG2, IL-4, spleen mast cells, and eosinophil levels and significantly increase serum IL-10 and Treg levels (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Additionally, microbiome analysis shows that oral administration of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA can significantly increase the relative abundance of Muribaculaceae and significantly decrease the relative abundance of Alistipes. FMT partially reproduced the reduction in serum OVA-specific IgE, but did not significantly improve allergic symptom or diarrhea scores, suggesting that gut microbiota alterations may partially contribute to the immunological effects of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA. These findings suggest that B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA spores may serve as a preventive oral antigen-delivery strategy to promote antigen-specific immune regulation and partially modulate microbiota-associated immune responses in OVA-induced food allergy.\n\nID: 42557516\nTitle: Gene expression patterns associated with influenza A and type I hypersensitivity in childhood appendicitis.\nAbstract: Both influenza A infection (IAV) and type I hypersensitivity mechanisms have been independently linked to acute appendicitis. Particularly the expression of type I hypersensitivity associated with cytokine interleukin (IL) 13 has been shown to be of significance in both, appendicitis and influenza infection. The aim of the current study was to analyze possible associations of respective gene expressions at the level of mathematical correlations. We analyzed messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expressions of IAV-associated markers, hypersensitivity type I-related cytokines and inflammatory markers IL-17A and c-reactive protein (CRP) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 29 children aged 7-17 years, who were operated for histologically confirmed appendicitis at Charit\u00e9-Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin between April and August 2019. Statistical relationships between gene expressions were investigated using Spearman's correlation analysis, with a correlation coefficient r \u2265 0.5 or r \u2264 -\u00a00.5 representing high, and r \u2265 0.7 or r \u2264 - 0.7 very high correlations. Statistical significance was assumed at P < 0.01. A total of 29 patients were involved in this study. Particularly the expression of IL-13 showed highly significant negative correlations with that of IAV-specific antiviral response genes, ranging from -\u00a00.89 (P < 0.0001) to -\u00a00.49 (P = 0.006). A strong inflammatory background was demonstrated by very high correlations of IL-13 with CRP (r = 0.91, P < 0.0001) and IL-17A (r = 0.82, P < 0.0001). These findings suggest a connection between IAV infection and acute appendicitis in children, implicating sequential immune responses, including hypersensitivity type I mechanisms, in appendicitis pathophysiology.\n\nID: 42556594\nTitle: mRNA Vaccines Targeting HPV E6/E7: A New Frontier in Cervical Cancer Immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, particularly high-risk types 16 and 18, are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases worldwide. Despite the availability of effective prophylactic vaccines, therapeutic interventions for established HPV-associated malignancies remain limited. This mini-review synthesizes recent advances (2020-2026) in mRNA-LNP vaccine development targeting the HPV E6 and E7 oncoproteins. We examine the mechanistic basis for targeting E6/E7, technological advantages of mRNA-LNP platforms, and key preclinical evidence demonstrating potent T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity. Recent clinical progress, including BioNTech's BNT113 vaccine which received FDA Fast Track designation for HPV16-positive head and neck cancer, is discussed alongside ongoing challenges in delivery optimization, tumor microenvironment immunosuppression, and manufacturing scalability. The review concludes with future perspectives on combination strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors and the potential for personalized neoantigen approaches.\n\nID: 42546880\nTitle: Circadian rhythm disruption induces cardiac hypertrophy via promoting the mtDNA release-activated cGAS-STING pathway.\nAbstract: Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) is highly prevalent and has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the molecular mechanisms linking CRD to cardiac injury remain incompletely understood. In this study, a chronic light-induced CRD mouse model and an in vitro model were established using norepinephrine (NE)-treated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) to investigate the progression of CRD-induced cardiac remodeling and the underlying mechanisms. CRD disrupted feeding rhythms, reduced cardiac Bmal1 and Clock mRNA expression, and altered body weight gain. Echocardiographic analysis revealed a progressive pattern of cardiac dysfunction characterized by early diastolic impairment, transient compensation, and subsequent pathological remodeling with systolic dysfunction. CRD was associated with sustained myocardial NE elevation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) accumulation, and activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway. Cardiac-specific STING knockdown significantly improved cardiac function and attenuated inflammation and hypertrophic remodeling in CRD mice. Consistently, NE-treated NRCMs exhibited mitochondrial dysfunction, cytosolic mtDNA accumulation, and activation of cGAS-STING signaling. Reducing mtDNA availability or pharmacologically inhibiting cGAS-STING signaling significantly attenuated NE-induced inflammatory and hypertrophic responses in vitro. These results indicate that chronic light-induced CRD promotes cardiac remodeling and dysfunction by inducing mitochondrial injury, activating mtDNA-dependent cGAS-STING signaling, and eliciting subsequent inflammatory responses. Targeting the mtDNA-cGAS-STING pathway may therefore represent a promising therapeutic strategy for CRD-associated cardiac injury.\n\nID: 42543510\nTitle: Altered IRF1-miR-20a-5p regulatory axis in the hippocampus of patients with major depressive disorder.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD), with interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) playing a potential role. MicroRNAs (miRs) are also involved in MDD through posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. This study investigated whether miR-20a-5p regulates IRF1 in MDD. IRF1 mRNA and miR-20a-5p expression levels were measured by qPCR in postmortem hippocampi from 14 MDD subjects and 14 controls, and in chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) mice. Their regulatory relationship was examined in HEK293 cells using miR-20a-5p overexpression and a dual-luciferase assay. Neuro2a cells treated with DMSO were used to evaluate the effects of cellular stress on Irf1 and miR-20a-5p expression. IRF1 mRNA and miR-20a-5p expression levels were significantly increased in both MDD hippocampi and CSDS mice. Luciferase assays showed that miR-20a-5p directly targeted the conserved seed sequence within the IRF1 3'-UTR and suppressed IRF1 expression. During the early phase of cellular stress, Irf1 mRNA was upregulated, whereas miR-20a-5p was downregulated, suggesting that stress initially induces Irf1 expression, followed by secondary regulation of miR-20a-5p. IRF1 mRNA expression was increased in the hippocampus of both MDD subjects and CSDS mice. Moreover, miR-20a-5p directly targeted the IRF1 3'-UTR, supporting a potential miR-20a-5p-IRF1 regulatory axis involved in inflammatory signaling in MDD. However, its functional significance in vivo remains to be determined.\n\nID: 42543286\nTitle: [Inhibition of M1 polarization and inflammatory response in RAW264.7 macrophages by harpagide through PGC-1\u03b1-mediated improvement of mitochondrial function].\nAbstract: This study aimed to investigate whether harpagide can alleviate lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and interferon-gamma(IFN-\u03b3)-induced M1 polarization and inflammatory response in RAW264.7 macrophages by regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha(PGC-1\u03b1) and improving mitochondrial function. The GEO dataset GSE183077 was used for bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs) of M1 and M0 macrophages, which was followed by Gene Ontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) enrichment analyses. The M1 macrophage model was established in RAW264.7 macrophages by stimulation with LPS and IFN-\u03b3. Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assays were used to evaluate cell viability and determine the optimal concentration of harpagide for treatment. The Griess assay was performed to measure nitric oxide(NO) levels. The mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-1\u03b2(IL-1\u03b2), and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1) were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR). JC-1, Mito-Tracker, and Mito-SOX fluorescent probes were used to assess mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial function, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels, respectively. Western blot analysis was conducted to detect the protein expression levels of PGC-1\u03b1, NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3), dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), and TNF-\u03b1. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that inflammatory responses and mitochondrial fission-related biological processes were significantly activated during M1 macrophage polarization. In vitro experiments confirmed that, compared with the control group, the model group exhibited an increased NO level in cell culture supernatant, elevated mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, impaired mitochondrial function, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and elevated mitochondrial ROS levels. Meanwhile, PGC-1\u03b1 protein expression was reduced, whereas NLRP3, DRP1, iNOS, and TNF-\u03b1 protein levels were upregulated. Following harpagide treatment, these changes were reversed in a dose-dependent manner, namely decreased NO production and mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, improved mitochondrial function, restored mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial ROS levels, significantly upregulated PGC-1\u03b1 expression, and decreased expression of NLRP3, DRP1, iNOS, and TNF-\u03b1. In conclusion, harpagide alleviates inflammatory responses probably by modulating mitochondrial fission in macrophages and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via activating PGC-1\u03b1.\n\nID: 42541079\nTitle: Respiratory mucosal immunity: Biological functions, diseases, prevention and therapy.\nAbstract: Respiratory mucosal (RM) immunity is a highly specialized and dynamic network that safeguards the airways from inhaled pathogens while preserving tissue homeostasis. Acting as the body's first line of defense, RM immunity integrates immune tolerance, barrier protection, immune surveillance, tissue repair, and the establishment of long-term immunological memory. Dysregulation of these processes contributes to a broad spectrum of diseases, including acute viral and bacterial infections, fungal colonization, and chronic inflammatory disorders, highlighting the urgent need for effective preventive strategies targeting the respiratory mucosa. The unprecedented global impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has further highlighted this need and catalyzed rapid advances in vaccines capable of inducing both local and systemic immunity at the respiratory portal of entry, alongside progress in inhalable antibody therapies. This review first summarizes the principal biological functions of the respiratory mucosa and the underlying mechanisms, followed by an overview of immune dysregulation associated with respiratory diseases. It then highlights recent advances in mucosal intervention strategies, with a particular focus on the development of RM vaccine platforms-including live-attenuated, inactivated, viral vector, protein subunit, and mRNA vaccines. It further discusses next-generation RM vaccine strategies emphasizing upper airway immunity, broadened antigen design and intranasal safety. Together, these advances provide a conceptual and translational framework for advancing RM-based interventions against respiratory pathogens.\n\nID: 42540501\nTitle: Melissa officinalis extract selectively suppresses STAT1 signaling in oral epithelial cells.\nAbstract: Oral inflammatory diseases such as oral lichen planus are characterized by dysregulated chemokine production and persistent interferon-associated signaling, with JAK/STAT pathways playing a central role in epithelial-immune crosstalk. Here, we investigated whether Melissa officinalis extract (MOE), a widely used phytomedicine with incompletely defined mechanisms, modulates inflammatory signaling in oral epithelial cells. MOE composition was characterized by HPLC-HRMS, and transcriptomic, RT-qPCR, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and cell-free kinase analyses were employed to define its biological effects in HSC2 and non-transformed epithelial cells. MOE was cytocompatible and selectively attenuated interferon-associated signaling rather than broadly suppressing inflammation. It markedly reduced interferon-stimulated gene expression, including MX1/2, IFIT and OAS family members, STAT1/2, CXCL10, and GBP1, while NF-\u03baB-dependent CXCL8 expression remained unaffected. Mechanistically, MOE reduced JAK2 activity in a cell-free assay and suppressed STAT1 phosphorylation-associated nuclear translocation, supporting modulation of canonical interferon signaling. Consistently, MOE reduced CXCL10 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, and these effects occurred independently of reactive oxygen species modulation. Chemical profiling identified several phenolic acids, among which caffeic acid showed activity in suppressing CXCL10 production. These findings identify MOE as a pathway-selective modulator of interferon-driven inflammatory responses in oral epithelial cells, provide mechanistic insight into its clinical use, and support further investigation of Melissa officinalis-derived preparations as topical strategies for targeted modulation of mucosal inflammation.\n\nID: 42540005\nTitle: CXCL10 rs8878 identifies a genotype-associated immune phenotype linked to T-lymphocyte preservation and survival in sepsis.\nAbstract: Sepsis is characterized by a dysregulated host response to infection, leading to concurrent hyperinflammation and immunosuppression, including profound alterations in T lymphocyte homeostasis. The chemokine CXCL10, an interferon-\u03b3-inducible mediator of T cell trafficking, has been implicated in immune activation and tissue injury. However, it remains unclear whether genetic variation in CXCL10 contributes to T cell dysregulation and clinical outcomes in sepsis. In a prospective cohort of septic patients (n=278), we analyzed CXCL10 rs8878 genotypes, circulating immune cell counts, cytokine concentrations, and CXCL10 protein and mRNA expression in whole blood. Associations between genotype, immune parameters, plasma proteomics and 30-day survival were assessed using group comparisons and Kaplan-Meier analyses. Correlation analyses were performed to evaluate relationships between CXCL10 concentrations, cytokines, and clinical parameters. Variants in the CXCL10 gene were associated with T cell dysregulation. Carriers of the rs8878 AA genotype exhibited higher circulating T cell counts and improved survival compared with G-allele carriers. Higher total and CD8+ T cell counts were significantly associated with improved survival. Among non-survivors, AA-genotype carriers showed increased CXCL10 mRNA expression, indicating genotype-dependent regulation of CXCL10 expression under conditions of fatal disease progression. CXCL10 concentrations on day 1 were positively correlated with multiple inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, MCP-1, IFN-\u03b3, and interferon-\u03b12, and inversely correlated with total T cell counts, supporting a link between CXCL10, systemic inflammation, and T cell depletion. No significant associations were observed between CXCL10 genotype and plasma proteomics and routine clinical parameters. The CXCL10 rs8878 genotype is associated with T cell dynamics and 30-day survival in sepsis, suggesting a genotype-dependent modulation of the adaptive immune response. While the AA genotype is linked to preserved T cell counts and improved outcomes, increased CXCL10 expression in non-survivors points to a context-dependent role in inflammation-driven immune dysregulation. These findings identify CXCL10 as a potential biomarker for risk stratification and a candidate target for immunomodulatory therapies in sepsis.\n\nID: 42533461\nTitle: Triptolide ameliorates renal injury in lupus nephritis by regulating TRAF6 mRNA stability via the hsa_circ_0001439/ELAVL1 axis.\nAbstract: Lupus nephritis (LN), a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is closely associated with aberrant immune-inflammatory responses. Currently, reliable non-invasive biomarkers are lacking, and existing treatments remain limited. Targeting autoimmune and inflammatory pathways offers new therapeutic potential. Triptolide (TP), a diterpenoid triepoxide compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii, exhibits potent immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proteinuric effects, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in tumors, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and kidney-related disorders. This study investigates the mechanism by which TP ameliorates LN through the hsa_circ_0001439/ELAVL1 axis to regulate TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) mRNA stability. In vitro (human renal tubular epithelial cell line) and in vivo (MRL/lpr mouse model) experiments were conducted. Renal function was assessed by measuring 24-hour urinary albumin, blood urea nitrogen, and serum creatinine levels. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-gamma, and interleukin-2, were detected by ELISA. Renal histopathological changes were observed via hematoxylin-eosin and periodic acid-Schiff staining. The cytotoxicity of TP was determined using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The expression of hsa_circ_0001439, ELAVL1, and TRAF6 mRNA was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression of TRAF6 and its downstream pathway components (phosphorylated p65/p65, phosphorylated p38/p38) was detected by Western blot. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, and intracellular reactive oxygen species levels were measured to assess oxidative damage. Immunoglobulin G and complement component 3 deposition were evaluated by immunofluorescence. The interactions among hsa_circ_0001439, ELAVL1, and TRAF6 were investigated using RNA pull-down, fluorescence in situ hybridization-immunofluorescence, RNA immunoprecipitation, and dual-luciferase reporter assays. TRAF6 mRNA stability was examined following Actinomycin D treatment. Bioinformatics analysis revealed upregulation of hsa_circ_0001439 in LN (P<0.05). TP improved renal function and histopathology in LN mice (P<0.05). Silencing hsa_circ_0001439 or ELAVL1 alleviated renal injury (P<0.05), while their overexpression reversed TP's therapeutic effects (P<0.05). Hsa_circ_0001439 bound to ELAVL1 to stabilize TRAF6 mRNA (P<0.05). In rescue experiments, TP reduced inflammation (P<0.05), but hsa_circ_0001439/ELAVL1 overexpression counteracted this effect (P<0.05). TRAF6 inhibition further mitigated oxidative damage (P<0.05), confirming TRAF6 as a key target. This study elucidates that TP alleviates LN by inhibiting TRAF6-driven inflammation via the hsa_circ_0001439/ELAVL1 axis, providing a potential therapeutic target for LN treatment.\n\nID: 42531981\nTitle: Immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of an mRNA-based seasonal influenza and SARS-CoV-2 multicomponent vaccine, mRNA-1083, in adults aged \u226550\u00a0years in Japan.\nAbstract: A multicomponent vaccine targeting seasonal influenza and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may reduce disease burden by providing simultaneous protection in a single injection. We report findings from Part 1 (Japan) of a phase 3, Asia-Pacific, randomized, observer-blind study evaluating immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of mRNA-based multicomponent vaccine mRNA-1083, combining influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigens. Participants aged \u226550\u00a0years were randomized (1:1) to receive mRNA-1083\u00a0+\u00a0placebo or Japan-licensed influenza hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine + mRNA-1273. Overall, 2022 participants were randomized, and 2013 received study intervention. At Day 29, mRNA-1083 elicited noninferior immune responses versus active comparators for all evaluated influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. Among high-risk participants (aged \u226565\u00a0years and 60 to <65\u00a0years with \u22651 comorbidity), noninferiority of mRNA-1083 was demonstrated for comparator-matched influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. In the overall study population, mRNA-1083 demonstrated superiority for the comparator-matched influenza strains and for SARS-CoV-2. At Day 181, immune responses remained above baseline and were comparable to or numerically higher than those elicited by active comparators. Most solicited adverse reactions were grade 1 or 2. There were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis, and no reported serious adverse events or deaths related to study intervention. Overall, mRNA-1083 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile, eliciting noninferior and superior immune responses against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in the high-risk and overall study population, respectively. Immune responses were maintained through 6\u00a0months post-vaccination. These findings support mRNA-1083 as a single-dose approach to seasonal vaccination against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in adults \u226550\u00a0years.

Host antiviral responses, particularly type I interferon (IFN) signaling, are impaired during corneal herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, partly due to viral immune evasion and metabolic reprogramming. This study investigated if topical glycolysis inhibition restores mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS)-associated innate antiviral signaling and improves HSK outcomes. In vitro and in vivo infection models were established using the HSV-1 McKrae strain. A stable hexokinase 2 (HK2)-knockdown human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) line was generated using lentivirus. Protein/mRNA levels were analyzed via western blot (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Protein interactions were confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP). Murine corneal pathology and viral proteins were assessed by slit-lamp imaging, IF, and WB. Elevated HK2 expression was detected in HSK models. HK2 knockdown or 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG)-mediated inhibition reduced HSV-1 replication (lower infected cell protein 0 [ICP0], higher interferon-stimulated gene 56 [ISG56]). Co-IP confirmed the interaction between HK2 and MAVS protein, and HK2 inhibition activated the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)/interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) pathway. Topical application of 2-DG improved murine corneal epithelial integrity, reduced viral proteins (glycoprotein D, ICP0), and showed efficacy comparable to acyclovir. Topical glycolysis inhibition enhances corneal antiviral defenses via MAVS-mediated type I IFN signaling, controlling HSV-1 and alleviating disease. It reveals a novel corneal metabolism-antiviral immunity link, highlights HK2 as a therapeutic target for HSK, and supports metabolic therapies for HSK and ocular herpes virus infections.\n\nID: 42530399\nTitle: 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Improves Immune Response in Dairy Cows In\u00a0Vivo and In\u00a0Vitro.\nAbstract: 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a naturally occurring amino acid, which plays an important role in the biosynthesis of heme. We investigated its immunomodulatory effect as a potential bioactive feed additive by evaluating the expression of immune-related genes and oxidative status in dairy cows. Using a crossover design, six lactating Holstein cows randomized to control and treatment groups received a total mixed ration (TMR) or TMR plus 10\u2009mg 5-ALA/kg of dry matter for 2 weeks. In\u00a0vitro, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from untreated dairy cows were incubated with 5-ALA in the presence of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) mRNA expression significantly decreased in PBMC of dairy cows fed 5-ALA, and interleukin-1\u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2) tended to decrease. 5-ALA had no effect on the cluster of differentiation 3, interferon-\u03b3, and Toll-like receptors in PBMC and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity, relative superoxide dismutase activity, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the blood, milk, and ruminal fluid of dairy cows. In\u00a0vitro, TNF-\u03b1 expression decreased in PBMC treated with 5-ALA (10\u2009\u03bcg/mL) in the presence of LPS compared with LPS alone. Thus, 5-ALA may optimize the inflammatory response by controlling the expression of TNF-\u03b1 in PBMC and eventually improving immunity in dairy cows.\n\nID: 42528204\nTitle: Increased Interleukin-17C Production by the Toll-Like Receptor 3 Ligand Poly(I:C) in Primary Cystic Fibrosis Airway Epithelial Cells.\nAbstract: Cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease is characterized by exaggerated inflammatory responses and progressive respiratory failure. Although interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a central mediator of neutrophilic inflammation in the CF airway, the upstream epithelial pathways that regulate cytokine production remain incompletely understood. Interleukin-17C (IL-17C) is an epithelial-derived IL-17 family cytokine that can promote inflammatory signaling in an autocrine/paracrine manner, but its regulation in CF-derived airway epithelial cells remains poorly defined. Here, we examined Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand-induced IL-17C regulation in primary human airway epithelial cells derived from bronchial and small airway compartments, including normal human bronchial epithelial cells, CF-derived human bronchial epithelial cells, small airway epithelial cells (SAEC), and CF-derived SAEC (D-SAEC-CF). Among the ligands tested, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)], a synthetic TLR3 ligand, consistently revealed differences in IL-17C and IL-8 induction between non-CF and CF-derived cells in both epithelial cell systems. Time-course analyses showed that poly(I:C)-induced IL-17C expression increased gradually and exhibited relatively delayed kinetics compared with the rapid interferon-\u03b2 response, resembling IL-8 induction. Pharmacological inhibition indicated that c-Jun N-terminal kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor-\u03baB, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase, were involved in poly(I:C)-induced IL-17C expression. Basal TLR3 and IL-17RE mRNA levels were elevated most clearly in D-SAEC-CF cells; however, IL-17RE knockdown did not significantly reduce poly(I:C)-induced IL-8 production in bronchial epithelial cells. Together, these findings suggest that poly(I:C)-induced IL-17C production may represent a TLR3-dependent epithelial inflammatory response in CF-derived primary airway epithelial cells.\n\nID: 42523399\nTitle: An mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Platform Encoding the Conserved Outer Membrane Protein BamA Elicits Broadly Cross-Reactive Systemic and Mucosal Antibodies Against Antimicrobial-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae.\nAbstract: Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) is the causative agent of gonorrhea, and the global spread of antimicrobial-resistant strains makes vaccine development a public health priority. Although messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have transformed protection against viral diseases, the platform remains in its infancy against pathogenic bacteria. Here, we evaluated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of an mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine encoding the highly conserved outer membrane antigen BamA in the female mouse model of lower genital tract infection. We delivered BamA mRNA-LNPs via intramuscular (IM) or intranasal (IN) routes, with or without CpG ODN 2395, and measured antigen-specific antibody responses in serum and vaginal lavage samples. Both routes elicited robust BamA-specific antibodies that recognized diverse Ng isolates, including ceftriaxone-resistant strains. However, neither route accelerated bacterial clearance nor reduced bioburden, nor did either generate serum bactericidal activity. These findings show that BamA mRNA-LNPs are immunogenic but, as formulated, are not protective, and they pave the way for modifications to the construct, adjuvant, and route. To our knowledge, this is the first evaluation of an mRNA vaccine against Ng, establishing the platform as an amenable approach for gonococcal antigen testing.\n\nID: 42522117\nTitle: The Cav\u03b24 subunit of Cav1.2 channels antagonizes isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy in rat cardiac muscle cells by down-regulating miR-183-5p.\nAbstract: The Cav\u03b24 subunit of voltage-gated Cav1.2 channels regulates gene expression in neurons and cardiac cells. It increases the expression of interferon-\u03b2-related genes in H9c2 cardiomyocytes derived from rat ventricular tissue, but the possibility that it also regulates the expression of microRNAs (miRs) remains unexplored. Furthermore, its role in cardiac hypertrophy is unknown. Although the mechanisms underlying cardiac hypertrophy have been studied extensively, the antihypertrophic response is poorly understood. We conducted quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunofluorescence experiments with H9c2 cardiomyocytes to examine the effects of Cav\u03b24 overexpression on isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy; the protein abundance of the transcription factors nuclear receptor 4A2 (NR4A2) and forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), which counter agonist-induced hypertrophic growth; and the expression of miR-183-5p, which targets NR4A2 and FOXO1 mRNAs. We found that the Cav\u03b24 subunit prevented the development of H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, down-regulating miR-183-5p expression and increasing the protein abundance of NR4A2 and FOXO1. We also observed a transient decrease in Cav\u03b24 mRNA expression in rat ventricles at 6\u2009h after isoproterenol injection. These results suggest that the Cav\u03b24 subunit plays a channel-independent role in the antihypertrophic response in cardiac muscle cells.\n\nID: 42520797\nTitle: Cardiopedia-Ligand: A ligand-receptor perturbation atlas of human cardiac organoid function and transcriptional state.\nAbstract: Large-scale perturbation atlases have transformed systems biology, yet no equivalent resource exists for the human heart, where contractile function and transcriptomic state must be measured together. Here, we establish Cardiopedia-Ligand, a comprehensive perturbation-function-transcriptome atlas generated by stimulating human cardiac organoids (hCOs) with 87 ligands targeting 98 cell-membrane receptors expressed in the human heart. We developed an automated high-throughput pipeline enabling individualized contractility measurements and single-organoid mRNA sequencing. We use this pipeline to define both recognized and previously unrecognized functional and transcriptional clusters, including inotropes, endothelin peptides, extracellular matrix regulators, and multiple inflammatory clusters. Clustering analysis, machine learning, and the \"fingerprinting\" of human heart failure biopsies revealed previously underappreciated similarities between ligands and an interferon-\u03b3 signaling signature driving heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Together, this comprehensive Cardiopedia-Ligand dataset provides a valuable and accessible resource for interrogating cardiac biology and human disease.\n\nID: 42520160\nTitle: Spatial transcriptomics supports a role for SOX4-driven signaling throughout the disease course of biliary atresia.\nAbstract: Biliary atresia (BA) is a neonatal fibroinflammatory cholangiopathy of infancy and the most common indication for pediatric liver transplantation. We aimed to define the molecular mechanisms responsible for differences in the rate of disease progression among children with BA. We performed spatial transcriptomics (ST) analysis on frozen liver tissue at transplant from 14 children: BA with survival with native liver (SNL) <2 years (BA1, n=3), BA with SNL >2 years (BA2, n=4), non-BA cholestasis (n=4), and non-diseased donors (n=3). Transcriptional signatures were compared between patient groups by tissue region (scar, hepatocyte, cholangiocyte). Findings were validated in larger patient cohorts that included BA samples at diagnosis. ST analysis of patients with BA1 showed the most aggressive disease phenotype, characterized by reduced hepatocyte zonation, low expression of homeostatic metabolic signatures, and increased scar heterogeneity enriched for pathways including extracellular matrix remodeling, interferon response, and leukocyte activation. Notably, genes involved in SOX4 hepatocyte-to-cholangiocyte reprogramming were most enriched in patients with BA1. Liver immunohistochemistry with in situ mRNA hybridization showed that patients with BA at diagnosis had increased SOX4 quantification as compared with patients with BA at transplant. Lastly, previously published liver bulk RNA-sequencing data demonstrated higher SOX4 gene-set expression in patients with BA at diagnosis with SNL <2 years. Children with BA and worse outcomes exhibit increased SOX4 gene-set expression at diagnosis with greater loss of hepatocyte zonation and immune-driven scar heterogeneity at transplant. Further mechanistic studies are needed to determine whether SOX4-associated biliary reprogramming contributes to maladaptive reparative processes in BA.\n\nID: 42519317\nTitle: Fc\u03b3R-ACE2 cooperative antibody-dependent enhancement in human and veterinary coronaviruses: mechanistic insights, comparative immunology, and implications for nano-engineered immunomodulatory platforms.\nAbstract: Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is a paradoxical immunological phenomenon in which pre-existing antibodies facilitate viral entry into host cells rather than conferring protection. ADE has been extensively characterised in flaviviral systems, most notably dengue virus (DENV), and presents a significant challenge for vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutic design. In coronavirus infections, ADE may operate through both classical Fc gamma receptor (Fc\u03b3R)-mediated pathways and an intrinsic signalling mechanism involving inhibitory Fc\u03b3RIIb-mediated suppression of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response. Of critical translational relevance is the functionally demonstrated cooperative Fc\u03b3R-ACE2 entry model for SARS-CoV-2, wherein virus-antibody immune complexes engage Fc\u03b3 receptors and require ACE2 interaction for efficient enhancement. For SARS-CoV-2 specifically, ADE magnitude appears to be determined by an antibody's capacity to block spike-ACE2 interaction rather than its neutralisation potency in vitro-a finding distinct from FIPV and other coronavirus ADE systems where classical Fc\u03b3R-mediated mechanisms predominate without ACE2 co-receptor dependency. Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) represents one of the most rigorously documented biological systems in which antibody-mediated macrophage infection directly determines systemic disease outcome. This comprehensive review integrates current knowledge of Fc\u03b3R biology, IgG subclass dynamics, antibody glycosylation, coronavirus cell entry mechanisms, intracellular signalling cascades, cytokine dysregulation, comparative veterinary immunopathology, and nano-engineered immunomodulatory platforms for ADE-safe vaccine development. No confirmed clinical ADE has been documented to date in mRNA-vaccinated populations, though theoretical risk windows and population-specific vulnerabilities are critically discussed.\n\nID: 42512890\nTitle: Effects of Budesonide on Coronavirus-Associated Receptor and Immune-Mediator Expression in Human Lung Microvascular Endothelial Cells.\nAbstract: Background and Objectives: Inhaled corticosteroids exert broad immunomodulatory effects in patients with chronic airway diseases. However, their direct impact on pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of budesonide on immune responses and the expression of coronavirus entry receptors in human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L). Materials and Methods: HMVEC-L cells were exposed to budesonide (1 ng/mL), a non-cytotoxic concentration selected based on cell viability assays. The mRNA expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), aminopeptidase N (AP-N), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), interferon beta (IFN-\u03b2), RANTES/CCL5, and interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8) was analyzed using quantitative RT-PCR. The surface expression of ACE2, DPP4, AP-N, and ICAM-1 was assessed using flow cytometry. Secreted IL-8 concentration was measured using ELISA. Results: Budesonide significantly reduced AP-N and DPP4 mRNA expression, accompanied by a decrease in the surface expression of both receptors. ACE2 mRNA expression was transiently reduced, whereas ACE2 surface expression was modestly increased by approximately 5% at 72 h. Budesonide also reduced early ICAM-1 mRNA expression but increased its surface expression at the later time point. Budesonide significantly reduced RANTES/CCL5 and IL-8/CXCL8 mRNA expression, with a corresponding decrease in secreted IL-8 concentration, whereas IFN-\u03b2 mRNA expression showed a non-significant statistical decrease. Conclusions: Budesonide directly modulates pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression. These findings indicate that budesonide modulates the expression of coronavirus-associated receptors and basal antiviral and inflammatory mediators in HMVEC-L cells. Because viral binding, entry, replication, and infection were not assessed, these results should be interpreted as evidence of receptor and immune-mediator modulation rather than as demonstrating altered coronavirus susceptibility.\n\nID: 42511854\nTitle: Global Proteomic Analysis Reveals Inflammatory Pathway Modulation Associated with miR-146a in LPS-Stimulated Macrophages.\nAbstract: Inflammation is essential for host defense, but, when dysregulated, it contributes to tissue damage and chronic disease. MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) is a well-recognized negative regulator of inflammatory signaling, primarily through suppression of the NF-\u03baB pathway; however, its broader proteomic impact under inflammatory conditions remains incompletely defined. In this study, we overexpressed an miR-146a mimic in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and applied quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize global protein abundance changes. Functional overexpression was supported by reduced mRNA abundance of the established miR-146a targets TRAF6 and IRAK1 under LPS-stimulated conditions. Proteomic analysis identified 1232 proteins showing differential abundance under the predefined exploratory criteria, including proteins related to NF-\u03baB activity, inflammasome components, nitric oxide synthesis, and IL-6-associated pathways. Proteins linked to interferon-related signaling were also altered. Targeted validation by quantitative RT-PCR and parallel reaction monitoring supported changes in selected inflammatory mediators, including PTGS2, NOS2, MAPKAPK2, and IRF3. Functionally, miR-146a overexpression was associated with reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide and IL-6 production. Together, these findings provide an exploratory proteomic overview of pathways associated with miR-146a overexpression in activated macrophages and suggest that miR-146a is associated with modulation of multiple inflammatory signaling networks under inflammatory conditions.\n\nID: 42511481\nTitle: Evolution of MUC1 During Retrotransposon Expansion as a Potential Adaptation Exploited in Human Cancer.\nAbstract: The MUCIN 1 (MUC1) gene evolved in eutherian mammals in association with the marked expansion of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). MUC1 encodes the MUC1-C/M1C protein that protects barrier epithelia from exogenous viruses. Activation of M1C in response to loss of homeostasis induces STAT1 and the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway. Studies in cancer cells have found that M1C regulates human ERV (HERV) expression by a STAT1-mediated mechanism. These discoveries have uncovered new insights into M1C-induced regulation of HERVs and other retrotransposons, such as LINE-1 (L1) and Alu. M1C signaling integrates retrotransposon transcription with induction of the counteracting apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic 3 (APOBEC3) genes that, like MUC1, first appeared in placental mammals. Activation of retrotransposons induces viral mimicry characterized as an IFN-I response that promotes innate anti-tumor immunity. Conversely, M1C protects cancer cells by sustained induction of the IFN-I pathway and immune evasion. This review posits that M1C-dependent regulation of retrotransposon and APOBEC3 expression represents an adaptive response exploited by cancer cells that promotes malignant progression.\n\nID: 42510901\nTitle: MYD88/TRIF Signaling, Pluripotency and Klotho Regulation in the Intestine, Kidneys, Liver, and Lungs of a Septic Mouse Model.\nAbstract: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by a dysregulated host response to infection, leading to multi-organ dysfunction. Toll-like receptor signaling via MYD88- and TRIF-dependent pathways plays a central role in this process; however, its temporal and tissue-specific dynamics remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate time-dependent transcriptional changes in MYD88- and TRIF-dependent signaling pathways across multiple organs in a murine model of sepsis. mRNA expression of MYD88, IRAK1, IRAK4, NF-kB, CCL4, CCL20, CCR2, IFN-\u03b2, IFN-\u03b3, TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-2, IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, Klotho, KLF4, HOXA5, NANOG and HIF1\u03b1 was quantified using qRT-PCR in intestinal, kidney, liver and lung tissues at 24, 48, and 72 h following cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis in male C57BL/6J mice. Significant upregulation of innate immune signaling molecules, cytokines, chemokines, and interferon-related genes was observed in all tissues compared with controls. Genes associated with hypoxia and cellular regulation were also increased. These responses were tissue-specific and progressively intensified over time. Sepsis represents a dynamic, time-dependent, and tissue-specific process characterized by sustained activation of immune and hypoxic pathways, providing potential targets for time-stratified therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42510776\nTitle: Integrated Bulk and Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis Identifies a Reproducible SASP-Related Three-Gene Panel and Prioritizes CFB as a Fibroblast-Associated Marker in Rheumatoid Arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in which senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)-related transcriptional programs may contribute to synovial inflammation and fibroblast activation. This study aimed to integrate bulk transcriptomic cohorts with the gene-expression component of a single-nucleus multimodal dataset to identify reproducible SASP-related candidate biomarkers and prioritize fibroblast-associated signals in RA. SASP-score correlation analysis, differential expression analysis, cross-cohort evaluation, logistic regression, gene set enrichment analysis, single-nucleus transcriptomic characterization, predicted regulatory network analysis, and RT-qPCR assessment were performed. GSE89408 was used as the discovery bulk transcriptomic cohort, GSE77298 as the external evaluation cohort, and GSE243917 as the single-nucleus gene-expression dataset. Fibroblasts showed relatively high SASP-related transcriptional scores within the RA single-nucleus dataset. The cross-cohort evaluation retained RCAN1, IRF1, CFB, and TIMP1 as reproducibly elevated candidates. Among all 15 non-empty panels derived from these four genes, the RCAN1/IRF1/CFB panel achieved the highest five-fold cross-validated AUC in GSE89408 and tied for the highest external AUC in GSE77298. Adding TIMP1 did not improve the external AUC or the 95% confidence interval. Among the retained genes, CFB showed the strongest fibroblast-associated expression pattern and SASP-score correlation. The RT-qPCR analysis provided preliminary mRNA-level support for the increased expression of RCAN1, IRF1, and CFB in the RA-related cell samples. RCAN1, IRF1, and CFB form a reproducible SASP-related candidate panel in RA, with CFB prioritized as a fibroblast-associated marker. Further protein-level, functional, and controlled single-cell validation studies are required.\n\nID: 42509821\nTitle: Heme Oxygenase-1 Contributes to Dampening Proinflammatory Activation in the Human Microglial Cell Line HMC3 and Controls the Transcription Factor IRF5.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation is recognized as a pivotal factor in promoting neurodegeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the dysregulation of proinflammatory signaling in microglial cells remain largely elusive. A prominent role has been ascribed to the TLR4 receptor and its downstream targets, among which the transcription factor IRF5 has recently gained attention. Furthermore, the enzyme HO-1 is known to play a crucial role in mediating an anti-inflammatory phenotype in microglia. This study aims to investigate whether IRF5 is a target of the anti-inflammatory activity of HO-1. Using the human microglial cell line HMC3 and validating the results in RAW264.7 macrophage-like cells, via RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence, we demonstrated that HO-1 contributes to the resolution of LPS-induced proinflammatory activation. Notably, cell exposure to a pharmacological inhibitor of HO-1 increases IRF5 mRNA expression, while treatment with Hemin, able to increase HO-1 expression, significantly reduces IRF5 phosphorylation. This work suggests a possible crosstalk between HO-1 and IRF5, proposing new druggable molecular targets to counteract neuroinflammation.\n\nID: 42509561\nTitle: The current landscape of mRNA therapy and the strategies for mRNA purification and dsRNA removal.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology has emerged as a cornerstone in vaccine development and therapeutic applications, offering key benefits such as high potency, rapid scalability, and cost-effectiveness. The success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has underscored their efficacy and safety. However, residual byproducts generated during mRNA synthesis, such as unincorporated caps, nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), DNA templates, enzymes, abortive transcripts, and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), pose significant challenges to the clinical application of the RNA therapy. Among these, dsRNA is particularly problematic as it can activate various innate immune responses, suppress mRNA translation and potentially compromise the therapeutic efficacy of mRNA. Therefore, effectively removing dsRNA from in vitro synthesized mRNA is essential before its used in preclinical or clinical settings. In this review article, we provide a comprehensive overview of current mRNA development pipelines and ongoing clinical trials, and recent advances in mRNA purification techniques. Specifically, we focus on strategies for dsRNA removal, which can be broadly categorized into two approaches: (1) separating or removing dsRNA from in vitro transcription (IVT) mRNA products using methods such as RP-HPLC chromatography and cellulose-based purification; and (2) minimizing dsRNA formation during IVT by employing engineered RNA polymerase mutants, chaotropic agents, and magnetic beads, as well as modifying/optimizing DNA templates or RNA molecules to reduce dsRNA generation. We also discuss the advantages and limitations of these purification methods, the factors influencing the selection of purification strategies, and explore potential future directions for improving dsRNA purification technologies and their applications in mRNA-based therapeutics.\n\nID: 42508646\nTitle: Designing CD8 T-cell mRNA vaccines targeting the viral large T antigen to prevent BK polyomavirus disease after kidney transplantation.\nAbstract: BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) continues to threaten kidney transplantation outcomes by directly or indirectly causing premature allograft failure. Insufficient BKPyV-specific immunity underlies the onset and duration of BKPyV-DNAemia and nephropathy. BKPyV-specific T-cells have been correlated with protection and include cytotoxic CD8 T-cells targeting immunodominant 9mer-epitopes encoded in the viral large tumor-antigen (LTag). To develop vaccines increasing LTag-specific T-cells, we reduced the 695 amino acid-long LTag to 143 residues or less, comprising four clusters of immunodominant 9mers presented by 54 HLA-alleles. Prediction algorithms allowed to improve global coverage, AAY-linker placement, proteasomal processing, and solubility. Using a human cell culture vaccination model, transfection of adherent monocytes with LTAG1-mRNA and LTAG2-mRNA demonstrated the expected 13.9kD and 15.2kD immunogens, respectively. LTAG2-mRNA induced higher CD8 T-cell responses than LTAG1-mRNA, with an interferon-\u03b3-positive CD62L-CD45RA-effector memory phenotype and cytotoxicity for BKPyV-replicating primary human renal tubular epithelial cells. We tested three additional candidates (LTAG3-mRNA, LTAG4-mRNA, LTAG5-mRNA) by changing AAY-linkers and extending immunogenic regions. The encoded immunogens were expressed and increased upon proteasome inhibitor treatment. LTag5-expanded T-cells showed BKPyV-specific interferon-\u03b3 expression and cytotoxicity. Our results demonstrate novel approaches to design modular mRNA-based vaccine candidates for clinical development of non-secreted antigens using BKPyV as a paradigm of non-enveloped DNA viruses.\n\nID: 42506657\nTitle: Possible Mechanisms of mRNA-LNP Degradation: A Comprehensive Review.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA-lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP)-based drug products represent a promising platform for prophylactic and therapeutic applications. However, their limited stability poses significant challenges for storage and global distribution. The instability of mRNA-LNP products makes them dependent on ultra-cold chain systems. This instability is driven by various physicochemical factors, including temperature, pH, light exposure, oxidation, aggregation, shear stress, and humidity. These factors destabilize the physical and chemical integrity of both mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) components, leading to reduced vaccine potency and potentially increasing the risk of adverse safety outcomes. Understanding these factors and their mechanisms is crucial for retaining mRNA-LNP efficacy. This review discusses the key physicochemical instability factors and molecular degradation mechanisms responsible for the structural and functional deterioration of mRNA-LNP formulations. Further, we summarize the stabilization strategies and analytical methods used to detect and quantify the degradation of mRNA-LNP products. Addressing these challenges is critical for advancing next-generation nucleic acid-based drug products and LNP-based delivery systems.\n\nID: 42506641\nTitle: Evaluating Memory B Cell Cross-Reactivity Between Ancestral and Future SARS-CoV-2 Variants-Evidence for Original Antigenic Sin.\nAbstract: Background: Despite the circulation of evolutionarily related cold-causing coronaviruses (CCCs) in the pre-COVID era, most individuals lacked pre-existing serum IgG and/or class-switched memory B cell (Bmem) reactivity for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) glycoprotein expressed by the ancestral Wuhan-Hu-1 (WH1) strain. Subsequent priming of the immune system through natural infection or prophylactic COVID-19 mRNA vaccination successfully generated robust Bmem responses against the WH1-S antigen, along with eliciting cross-reactivity for the future Omicron (BA.1) variant responsible for breakthrough infections (BTIs). However, to what extent immunological imprinting of Bmem towards the WH1-S antigen detrimentally constrains the elicitation of variant-specific antibody responses following subsequent booster vaccinations or BTIs-a phenomena referred to as \"original antigenic sin\"-remains an unresolved and open question. Methods: Using ImmunoSpot\u00ae, we evaluated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from defined human cohorts for IgG+ ASC reactivity against Spike proteins representing CCCs and SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, we developed a novel dual-label inverted FluoroSpot assay to distinguish between strain-specific and cross-reactive IgG+ ASCs recognizing epitopes in the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants. Results: Our data demonstrate a lack of appreciable back-boosting of IgG+ Bmem recognizing structurally conserved epitopes shared between CCCs and SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, we found evidence for immunological imprinting and the preferential expansion of Bmem recognizing cross-reactive epitopes in the RBD following BTI. Nevertheless, Omicron strain-specific Bmem were detected in PBMC donors collected in 2025. Conclusions: Our novel inverted dual-label FluoroSpot methodology evidenced preferential expansion of cross-reactive Bmem following breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection and supports the influence of original antigenic sin shaping the recall response. Moreover, the inverted dual-label assay provides a highly flexible and easily implementable technique for distinguishing between strain-specific and cross-reactive B cell responses and has broad applications in translational vaccine research against pathogens that undergo antigenic drift.\n\nID: 42505062\nTitle: METTL14 Downregulation Accelerates HBV-Related Cirrhosis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Promoting Type I Interferon Release via the cGAS-STING Pathway Through m6A Modification.\nAbstract: The pathogenesis of Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully elucidated at present. While METTL14 is crucial in innate immunity, its specific role in HBV-related liver disease progression is unclear. We analyzed METTL14 expression in patient tissues and bioinformatics datasets. Mouse models of HBV-related cirrhosis and HCC were established to evaluate liver injury, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis. Mechanistic studies utilized MeRIPqPCR, RIP, and Actinomycin D assays, and hepatocyte-stellate cell co-cultures to investigate METTL14's impact on cGAS mRNA stability, the cGAS-STING pathway, and IFNB1 secretion. METTL14 was downregulated in HBV infection, cirrhosis, and HCC. METTL14 knockdown aggravated liver injury, fibrosis, and tumor formation in mice. Mechanistic studies revealed that METTL14 overexpression in HBV-infected hepatocytes promoted the degradation of cGAS mRNA by increasing its m6A modification, thereby suppressing the cGAS-STING pathway activation and IFNB1 release. Consequently, METTL14 overexpression inhibited stellate cell activation, which was reversed by cGAS-STING agonists. Downregulation of METTL14 reduces the degradation of cGAS mRNA through m6A modification, facilitates the cGAS-STING pathway activation and IFNB1 release, thereby accelerating HBV-related cirrhosis and HCC progressions.\n\nID: 42504161\nTitle: SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination Induces Neutralizing Antibodies and Type I IFN Changes in People Living With HIV.\nAbstract: This study examined changes in anti-Spike (anti-S) antibodies (Abs) and type I interferon (IFN-I) following the BNT162b2 vaccine in people living with HIV (PLWH) and analyzed the impact of demographic and immunological factors. In total, 75 PLWH and 28 healthy donors were followed at baseline (T0), at the second dose (T1), after the second dose (T2), and more than 1 year later (T3). Anti-S Abs were assessed by chemiluminescence and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-based pseudo virus-neutralization assay, while IFN-\u03b12, IFN-\u03b2, and IFN-\u03c9 mRNA levels were measured by RT-Real Time PCR. PLWH showed an increase in anti-S Immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels comparable to healthy donors (p\u2009<\u20090.001) and an induction of anti-S neutralizing Abs (p\u2009<\u20090.014 for T2 vs. T3). Age, gender, CD4+ T cell count, exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) and IFN-I levels at T0 did not affect the anti-S IgG production. IFN-I gene expression showed temporal changes, with a decrease at T2 (p\u2009<\u20090.01) and a subsequent increase at T3 (p\u2009<\u20090.001, for IFN-\u03b12 and IFN-\u03c9). A multivariable model revealed no overall change in the IFN-I response over time, except for IFN-\u03b2, which was lower at T3 than at T1 (p\u2009=\u20090.032). CD4+ T cell count was positively correlated with the IFN-I response (p\u2009<\u20090.05). These results suggest that mRNA vaccination can elicit an effective anti-S response and modulate the IFN-\u03b2 gene expression in PLWH, with CD4+ T cell count being a key determinant of vaccine-induced changes in IFN.\n\nID: 42502768\nTitle: miR-146a-Enriched Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Prolong Corneal Allograft Survival by Modulating Local and Systemic Immune Responses.\nAbstract: Corneal allograft rejection remains a leading cause of graft failure. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) may provide new options for modulating the immune response to allografts. This study aimed to determine whether miR-146a-enriched EVs could prolong corneal allograft survival by modulating local and systemic immune responses. After corneal allografting from C57BL/6 to BALB/c mice, recipients received subconjunctival injections of PBS, miR-NC-EVs, or miR-146a-EVs isolated from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCSCs). Local inflammatory and regulatory factors in ocular tissues were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to quantify the expression of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-\u03b1, and forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3). Systemic cytokine profiles were assessed in recipient sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure interferon (IFN)-\u03b3, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-10, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-\u03b2. Clinical rejection scores were markedly reduced, with significant improvements in opacity, edema, and neovascularization. RT-PCR analysis of corneal tissue showed miR-146a overexpression, downregulation of IRAK1 and TRAF6, a significant reduction in TNF-\u03b1 mRNA, and increased Foxp3 expression. ELISA analysis of systemic IFN-\u03b3 and IL-17 showed that treatment with miR-146a-EVs resulted in lower systemic IFN-\u03b3 and IL-17 levels and significantly higher levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-10 and TGF-\u03b2. This study identifies miR-146a-EVs as a novel cell-free therapy that effectively prolongs corneal transplant survival. The treatment exerts dual immunomodulatory effects by regulating local inflammatory pathways and shifting systemic cytokine profiles toward an anti-inflammatory state, thereby offering a targeted strategy to prevent transplant rejection.\n\nID: 42500975\nTitle: Innate immune responses underlying local and systemic adverse reactions to mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccines.\nAbstract: Vaccine reactogenicity refers to the capacity of a vaccine to induce transient local and systemic adverse reactions (ARs). Although these ARs are often attributed to vaccine-induced innate inflammation, accumulating evidence indicates that the inflammatory pathways causing symptoms are not necessarily identical to those required for protective immunity. mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines provide a valuable framework for examining this relationship, because both the mRNA cargo and the LNP delivery system can contribute to innate immune activation. Early inflammatory responses following mRNA-LNP vaccination appear to reflect the interplay of multiple signals, including ionizable lipid-driven signaling, mRNA-associated interferon (IFN) responses, endosomal membrane perturbation, and tissue-derived danger signals. These upstream events can be amplified through cytokine networks that promote systemic symptoms. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has emerged as a major contributor to this process, although IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1), type I IFN, and prostaglandin-related pathways also contribute, depending on the experimental model and context. In this review, we summarize recent evidence linking upstream sensing pathways to local and systemic ARs, and discuss how these pathways intersect with vaccine-induced adaptive immunity. We also consider booster-associated amplification of ARs as an example in which immune memory may reshape innate cytokine responses after repeated vaccination. Understanding these relationships will help delineate the shared and distinct inflammatory circuits underlying ARs and protective immunity. These mechanistic insights may also inform the rational design of low-reactogenic mRNA-LNP formulations that retain sufficient immunogenicity.\n\nID: 42500712\nTitle: Endocytosis-independent cytosolic entry of messenger RNA via fluorous bilayer zippering attenuating Toll-like receptor signaling and enables ischemic tissue salvage.\nAbstract: A fundamental constraint of conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery systems is their obligatory trafficking through endosomal-lysosomal compartments, wherein cargo degradation and activation of endosomal Toll-like receptors precipitate substantial translational attrition and deleterious inflammatory cascades. We herein report a chemically engineered platform that circumvents these limitations ab initio. Through strategic perfluoro-acylation of branched polyethyleneimine (PEI, 25\u00a0kDa) with pentafluoropropionic anhydride, we install approximately 26 fluoro-amide \"zipper\" moieties per polymer chain that orchestrate direct, energy-independent trans-bilayer translocation without recruitment of clathrin, caveolae, or lipid raft microdomains-thereby precluding lysosomal entrapment and catabolism. Bio-orthogonal copper-free click chemistry between azide- and dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)-terminated PEI-F derivatives, coupled with redox-labile disulfide crosslinkers, engenders polyplexes of exceptional extracellular stability that undergo quantitative glutathione-triggered disassembly within the cytosolic milieu. This endosome-evasive entry mechanism effectively sequesters single-stranded mRNA from Toll-like receptor 3, TLR7, and TLR8 surveillance, establishing a \"TLR-attenuated\" delivery paradigm characterized by undetectable interferon-\u03b1, interferon-\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6 induction. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, GFP-mRNA transfection exceeds 90% fluorescent positivity with 4.8-fold superior luciferase expression relative to Lipofectamine\u2122 3000, whilst maintaining >95% viability. Therapeutic translatability is demonstrated in a murine hindlimb ischemia model, wherein a single 10\u00a0\u03bcg intramuscular dose of mVEGF-A polyplexes restores blood perfusion to 118% of baseline within 28 days-representing marked superiority over the commercial gold standard and effectuating complete tissue salvage without necrosis. Comprehensive hematological and immunological profiling corroborates the absence of hematotoxicity, systemic inflammation, or innate immune activation. This modular, purely synthetic platform resolves the classical stability-availability paradox whilst eliminating the immunogenic liabilities inherent to endocytic delivery, furnishing a readily translatable scaffold for precision regenerative medicine.\n\nID: 42560325\nTitle: Blocked transcription-translation complexes are rescued by transcript release followed by trans-translation.\nAbstract: Bacterial ribosomes initiate translation while the nascent transcript is still engaged with RNA polymerase, creating a risk that translating ribosomes will become trapped if RNA polymerase is blocked before transcription of the stop codon. Here we show that DNA-binding proteins block RNA polymerase and translating ribosomes in vitro and in vivo. Translating ribosomes are rescued after they trigger the release of the nascent transcript from RNA polymerase. Following the release of the transcript, ribosomes translate to the 3' end of the mRNA and are rescued by trans-translation. This mechanism allows the rescue of all components of blocked transcription-translation reactions. Co-transcriptional translation in bacteria provides an efficient means to produce proteins but creates a risk that translating ribosomes could become trapped if RNA polymerase is blocked during transcription. We show that when RNA polymerase is blocked, a translating ribosome triggers the release of the nascent mRNA from the polymerase, and the ribosome is rescued by trans-translation. This mechanism for resolving blocked transcription-translation complexes explains how bacteria avoid detrimental accumulation of stalled ribosomes.\n\nID: 42554662\nTitle: Vaccines, Bias, and the Perils of Non-peer-reviewed Studies: Fueling Misinformation and Vaccine Hesitancy.\nAbstract: Unvetted scientific claims about vaccines can spread rapidly and undermine decades of progress in immunization and public trust. A recent non-peer-reviewed analysis, promoted at political hearings, in the documentary \"An Inconvenient Study,\" and on social media, has been used to suggest that vaccinated children experience higher rates of chronic illness than unvaccinated peers. Despite standard regression models, critical flaws - uncontrolled confounding, exposure misclassification, unequal follow-up, and outcome multiplicity, invalidate causal inference. An independent group of international experts critically appraises this analysis and contrast its claims with the consistent evidence confirming vaccine safety and effectiveness. We also show how poorly designed studies can distort public discourse, amplify misinformation, and fuel vaccine hesitancy. We outline actions to strengthen research integrity, such as transparent data sharing, labeling of non-peer-reviewed content, and evidence-based communication. Safeguarding public health demands that vaccine evidence be methodologically sound, reviewed, and interpreted by qualified experts.\n\nID: 42553076\nTitle: Humoral and cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants after ancestral COVID-19 vaccines in people with HIV and lung transplant recipients.\nAbstract: Immunocompromised hosts have reduced immune responses to COVID-19 vaccination, and more severe disease. Antibody responses correlate with protection but markers of immunity vary across a spectrum of immunocompromise. We compared serologic and cellular responses following Ancestral COVID-19 vaccines in healthy controls (HC), people with HIV (PWH) and lung transplant (LTx) recipients. Anti-spike receptor binding domain (RBD) IgG, neutralising antibodies (nAb) and T-cell responses were assessed one-month post-dose 2 and dose 3 of Ancestral COVID-19 vaccination in HC, PWH and LTx. NAb responses to Ancestral, Delta and Omicron BA.2 and BA.5 variants were assessed. Twenty-nine HC, 21 PWH and 12 LTx recipients were included. PWH demonstrated lower anti-RBD-IgG responses (median post-dose 3: 80.3\u2009\u03bcg mL-1 vs 43.3\u2009\u03bcg mL-1, P\u2009=\u20090.03) to mRNA COVID-19 vaccination than HC, while LTx recipients displayed diminished responses following any vaccine (15.3\u2009\u03bcg mL-1 vs 74.0\u2009\u03bcg mL-1, P\u2009=\u20090.01). Dose 3 increased anti-RBD-IgG concentrations and nAb responses in HC and PWH, though Omicron variant neutralisation was attenuated. LTx recipients mounted limited nAb responses. PWH and HC had no difference in nAb responses for Ancestral (median 1738 vs 486.2, P\u2009>\u20090.99) or BA.5 variants (median 34.0 vs 67.9, P\u2009>\u20090.99). Compared with HC, PWH and LTx demonstrated reduced frequencies of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T\u00a0cells and a reduced functional memory T-cell response in LTx. Although Dose 3 was beneficial, LTx recipients demonstrated lower serological responses than HC, while reductions were modest in PWH. Immunocompromised groups had reduced but detectable SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses, demonstrating the utility of COVID-19 vaccination despite poorer serological responses.\n\nID: 42553001\nTitle: Intermittent Hypoxia Exacerbates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Neurobehavioral Abnormalities: The Role of Neuroinflammation and Synaptic-Related Proteins.\nAbstract: Sepsis is a common systemic inflammatory disease clinically observed in patients with severe trauma or infectious diseases. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) serves as a classic tool for studying infection-related neuroinflammation and behavioral changes. Research indicates that LPS can induce peripheral inflammation and neuroinflammation, leading to synaptic dysfunction and neurobehavioral abnormalities. Furthermore, studies suggest that stress can increase susceptibility to inflammation. Intermittent hypoxia, a core pathological feature of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, induces low-grade chronic inflammation in the central nervous system. This study investigates whether intermittent hypoxia exacerbates LPS-induced cognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety-like behaviors, and explores its potential mechanisms. Adult mice were treated with LPS alone or in combination with daily 8-h intermittent hypoxia via a hypoxia chamber. Depression and anxiety-like behavior were assessed using the tail suspension, forced swim, elevated plus maze, and open field tests. Spatial learning and memory were measured using the Morris water maze test. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and levels of genes and proteins of synaptic-related proteins were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blotting, and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR, respectively. LPS-induced impaired cognitive function, increased depression-like and anxiety-like behaviors, elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, and decreased mRNA and protein levels of synapse-related proteins, synaptosomal-associated protein of 25\u00a0kDa, synaptotagmin-1, synaptophysin, and postsynaptic density protein-95 in adult male mice. Intermittent hypoxia exacerbated these adverse effects. Intermittent hypoxia exacerbates LPS-induced neurobehavioral abnormalities, which are associated with neuroinflammation and alterations in synapse-related proteins.\n\nID: 42552963\nTitle: Indoxyl sulfate exacerbates chronic inflammation and susceptibility to severe infection via modulating T-cell CD73/adenosine signaling in chronic kidney disease.\nAbstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health issue. Cardiovascular events and infections drive mortality in end-stage renal disease via immune dysregulation. The role of T-cell purinergic signaling and its modulation by indoxyl sulfate (IS) in CKD remains unclear. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 5/6 nephrectomy. The CKD\u00a0+\u00a0IS group received daily IS (100\u2009\u03bcg/kg, intraperitoneally) for 24\u00a0weeks; control group received saline. Samples were collected 2-6\u2009h post-injection. Sepsis was induced via cecal ligation and puncture. Splenic T-cell mRNA cluster of differentiation (CD) 73, CD39, A2A receptor (A2AR), P2X purinergic receptor (P2RX7), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-\u03baB) was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Plasma cytokines, vascular injury markers (asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1)), and myocardial markers (cardiac troponin T (cTnT), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Peripheral purine metabolites (adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate, adenosine (ADO)) were analyzed via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Survival was monitored for 72\u2009h. IS exacerbated baseline microinflammation, elevating plasma cytokines (interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1)) and T-cell NF-\u03baB. This coincided with disrupted anti-inflammatory purinergic signaling, characterized by downregulated CD73/A2AR and reduced ADO. Post-infection, the CKD\u00a0+\u00a0IS group showed profound CD73 suppression and ADO depletion. Despite blunted cytokine surges, this group exhibited aggravated vascular and myocardial injury (elevated ADMA, ICAM-1, cTnT, BNP) and significantly higher 72-hour mortality. Indoxyl sulfate disrupts the T-cell CD73/ADO axis, promoting basal microinflammation while impairing anti-infective immunity and exacerbating organ damage during sepsis. Targeting the IS-CD73-ADO pathway offers a therapeutic strategy for restoring immune homeostasis in uremia.\n\nID: 42551761\nTitle: Integrated network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation reveal synergistic inhibition of EGFR and PI3K-Akt/JAK2-STAT3 pathways by Esculin and Esculetin to exert anti-colorectal cancer effects.\nAbstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a global health challenge with limited efficacy of single-target therapies. Esculin and esculetin, the main coumarins of Cortex Fraxini, have been reported to exhibit anti-tumor activities in various cancer cell lines in preclinical studies. This study systematically elucidated the synergistic anti-CRC mechanisms of esculin and esculetin by integrating network pharmacology, bioinformatics, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and in vitro validation. Network pharmacology predicted 23 overlapping targets, with 10 core proteins significantly enriched in the PI3K-Akt and JAK2-STAT3 pathways, further supported by bioinformatics analysis. Molecular docking and 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the esculin-esculetin complex exhibited stronger binding affinity and stable interaction with EGFR compared with each monomer. In vitro, the natural 5:1 combination synergistically inhibited HCT116 and HT29 cell proliferation, suppressed colony formation, migration, and invasion, downregulated the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt, JAK2 and STAT3, reduced EGFR, TOP1 and CDK2 mRNA, decreased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and increased cleaved caspase-3 levels. Quantitative validation by EdU, TUNEL, and flow cytometry confirmed concentration-dependent inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis. These findings demonstrate that esculin and esculetin co-target EGFR and simultaneously block downstream PI3K-Akt and JAK2-STAT3 dual pathways, providing a multi-component, multi-target, multi-pathway synergistic model for C. fraxini-based combination therapy against CRC.\n\nID: 42551538\nTitle: Exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of zearalenone disrupts blood-testis barrier via inositol-requiring enzyme 1\u03b1-dependent GA binding protein transcription factor \u03b1 mRNA decay.\nAbstract: Male infertility is a growing global health issue, with declining sperm quality being a major contributing factor. Zearalenone (ZEA), a widespread mycotoxin, is frequently detected in human populations through contaminated food and water. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which environmentally relevant concentrations of ZEA disrupt the blood-testis barrier (BTB) and impair sperm quality. We found that exposure to ZEA disrupted BTB integrity and reduced sperm quality in mice. Mechanistically, ZEA activated the inositol-requiring enzyme 1\u03b1 (IRE1\u03b1), leading to regulated IRE1\u03b1-dependent decay (RIDD) of GA binding protein transcription factor \u03b1 (Gabpa) mRNA. GABPA binds directly to and transcriptionally activates the promoters of genes encoding the tight junction proteins ZO1 and Occludin. This binding was attenuated by ZEA treatment. GABPA overexpression rescued the ZEA-induced downregulation of ZO1 and Occludin and restored barrier function, whereas GABPA knockdown exacerbated these defects. Both Ern1 (encoding IRE1\u03b1) knockdown and pharmacological inhibition of IRE1\u03b1 RNase activity with 4\u03bc8C rescued GABPA expression, restored BTB function, and ameliorated ZEA-induced sperm defects. Our findings unveil a novel IRE1\u03b1-GABPA signaling axis as a central mechanism in ZEA-mediated male reproductive toxicity, highlighting IRE1\u03b1 and GABPA as potential therapeutic targets for intervention against environmental pollutant-induced infertility.\n\nID: 42550669\nTitle: Signal peptide-mediated endoplasmic reticulum targeting enhances antigen expression and secretion to improve mRNA vaccine efficacy.\nAbstract: The expression and secretion levels of antigenic proteins are critical determinants of mRNA vaccine efficacy. Signal peptides, which direct protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), have the potential to significantly enhance protein expression and immunogenicity, highlighting their value as engineering tools for mRNA vaccine design. This study adopts the SARS-CoV-2 RBD as a model antigen to screen a panel of signal peptides derived from common secretory proteins. The signal peptides from C3, IL-12, and IL-20 are identified as candidates capable of significantly promoting antigen expression and secretion. Fluorescence confocal microscopy reveals that these signal peptides enhance the targeting of mRNA to the ER at the subcellular level. In vivo experiments demonstrate that mRNA vaccines incorporating these engineered signal peptides induce stronger humoral and cellular immune responses. This study confirms that signal peptide replacement can enhance antigen expression, offering a potential strategy for improving the efficacy of mRNA vaccines.\n\nID: 42548704\nTitle: Conformational bias in SARS-CoV-2 Spike CD4+ T-cell epitope dominance.\nAbstract: Epitope-specific T cells provide significant long-lived protection afforded by adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 spike. CD4+ T-cell epitope peptides that are generated by non-ATP-dependent antigen-processing proteases bind with modest specificity to MHC class II molecules in the endo-lysosome. Studies document the influence of antigen-presenting cell type, manner of endocytosis, and antigen conformation on the strength of CD4+ T-cell response. Nevertheless, few studies report changes in epitope dominance due to circumstances of antigen exposure, which could shape proteolytic antigen processing in the class-II pathway because conformational domains limit proteolysis or MHCII binding. Processing of SARS-CoV-2 spike was modeled using limited proteolysis of soluble spike trimer, and the effect of spike conformation on CD4+ T-cell epitope dominance was analyzed using IL-2 Elispots responding to two nine-peptide pools from conformationally stable and unstable regions of spike. Protease-sensitive sites coincided with domain boundaries and other conformationally unstable regions, confirming that structure limits proteolysis. The ratio of CD4+ T-cell response to stable and unstable peptide pools in two non-hospitalized human subjects cohorts distinguished whether exposure was by infection or vaccination. Circumstances of exposure to spike, e.g., spike mRNA vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection, could influence populations of antigen presenting cells and their levels of activation, resulting in different patterns of spike fragmentation, peptide loading, and T-cell response. Circumstances of exposure also affect spike conformational changes that contribute to distinct dominance patterns. Thus, epitope dominance patterns potentially indicate exposure history, immune imprinting, and potentially the protectiveness of the CD4+ T-cell response.\n\nID: 42548171\nTitle: Integrated Bioinformatic and Experimental Analysis Reveals the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying KDM1B/LSD2 Inhibition as a Therapeutic Strategy in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma.\nAbstract: Lung cancer remains a major global health challenge, and the oncogenic function of KDM1B (Lysine-specific Demethylase 1B) is still poorly characterized. This study employed integrated bioinformatics and experimental approaches to investigate KDM1B's function in lung cancer. Pan-cancer analysis using databases such as TIMER revealed notably elevated KDM1B mRNA expression in LUAD datasets, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic biomarker. A strong association was also found between increased KDM1B levels and immune cell infiltration in LUAD datasets. Protein interaction networks constructed using STRING and Cytoscape revealed close associations between KDM1B and key regulatory genes in NSCLC. KEGG enrichment analysis linked KDM1B to the mTOR signaling, which is critical for cell proliferation and survival. RT-PCR and western blotting for experimental validation showed KDM1B expression was significantly increased in A549 and NCI-H460 lung cancer cells. The deletion of KDM1B inhibits cell growth, induces G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, and promotes apoptosis in A54 cells. Moreover, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited by the KDM1B inhibitor, tranylcypromine, and induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, increased apoptosis, ROS, and glycolytic activity in A549 cells. Collectively, these findings highlight KDM1B as a valuable therapeutic target in lung adenocarcinoma and emphasize its key role in lung cancer development.\n\nID: 42546698\nTitle: Capsid inclusion in a CHIKV mRNA vaccine impairs adaptive immune responses.\nAbstract: Two mRNA vaccines (V1 and V2) from our previous study, encoding different CHIKV structural proteins, exhibit distinct immune effects and protective efficacy. However, the immune mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear. In this study, we use an integrated multi-omics approach (single-cell RNA sequencing, immune repertoire sequencing, and Olink cytokine profiling) to elucidate the differential immune cell activation states induced by the two vaccines and the potential structural basis of the antigens that may account for these differences. We find that V2 induces sustained B cell activation, predominantly IgG-type memory antibodies, and a robust recall response following viral challenge. By contrast, V1 elicits only transient B cell activation and relatively weak T cell responses. These findings delineate a mechanistic pathway linking mRNA antigen structure to immune activation, functional differentiation, immunological memory, and protective efficacy. This work enhances our understanding of the immunological mechanisms underlying CHIKV mRNA vaccination and offers insights for rational vaccine antigen design.\n\nID: 42544042\nTitle: miR-375 Regulates Extracellular Vesicle Secretion From Giardia duodenalis via Targeting Rab1a.\nAbstract: Giardia duodenalis (G. duodenalis) represents a prevalent zoonotic protozoan pathogen responsible for diarrheal disorders across human and animal hosts. To date, no licensed effective vaccines have been developed against giardiasis, and the emergence of drug resistance progressively impairs the efficacy of conventional clinical chemotherapy. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from G. duodenalis (GEVs) exert pivotal functions in mediating parasite immune evasion as well as the initiation of host inflammatory cascades; nevertheless, the molecular regulatory circuits underlying GEV biosynthesis and secretion remain poorly defined. Previous bioinformatic predictions implicate Rab1a in vesicular trafficking within G. duodenalis, whereas its concrete biological contribution to GEV secretion has not been experimentally validated. The present work was designed to screen microRNAs (miRNAs) targeting Rab1a and further elucidate their modulatory effects on GEVs biogenesis. GEVs were purified from G. duodenalis WB-strain trophozoites, and their identity was verified via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA, modal diameter: 164.7\u2009nm), plus Western blot detection of classic extracellular vesicle biomarker proteins. High-throughput miRNA sequencing was subsequently conducted to filter candidate miRNAs capable of interacting with the Rab1a 3' untranslated region (3'UTR), from which miR-375, miR-133, and miR-999 were shortlisted as prospective regulatory molecules. Functional verification revealed that only miR-375 robustly repressed Rab1a expression at both mRNA and protein abundances. Dual-luciferase reporter assays further authenticated the direct physical interaction between miR-375 and the Rab1a 3'UTR. Consistently, ectopic overexpression of miR-375 resulted in a prominent decline in cellular GEV secretion. In summary, our experimental data corroborate that endogenous G. duodenalis miR-375 suppresses Rab1a expression at the post-transcriptional level to constrain downstream GEV release. The newly characterized miR-375-Rab1a-GEVs regulatory axis deepens our mechanistic understanding of post-transcriptional modulation governing vesicle formation in G. duodenalis.\n\nID: 42542039\nTitle: Helicobacter pylori small RNA HPnc1470 represses HP0499/PldA/CGAT expression and modulates gastric epithelial morphology and inflammation.\nAbstract: Helicobacter pylori persistently colonizes the stomach and contributes to gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis via sustained interactions with gastric epithelial cells. Although bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are crucial post-transcriptional regulators, their roles in regulating H. pylori factors that influence host cell responses remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized HPnc1470, an H. pylori sRNA of unknown function, and identified HP0499/PldA/CGAT, a lipid-modifying factor implicated in H. pylori-epithelial cell interactions, as a gene negatively regulated by HPnc1470. RNA-seq analysis revealed that hpnc1470 deletion increased HP0499 mRNA expression, and RT-qPCR confirmed this upregulation. HPnc1470 restoration reduced HP0499 mRNA expression to near wild-type levels, supporting negative regulation by HPnc1470. Furthermore, RNA-RNA interaction prediction and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) indicated that HPnc1470 binds the HP0499 5' regulatory region near the ribosome-binding site. In AGS cell infection assays, HPnc1470 loss enhanced H. pylori-induced elongation of AGS gastric epithelial cells and increased IL-8 production, whereas HP0499 deletion decreased both responses. These findings identify HPnc1470 as a negative regulator of HP0499 and suggest that sRNA-mediated regulation of HP0499 modulates gastric epithelial responses during H. pylori infection.\n\nID: 42536803\nTitle: The Changing Landscape of Hantavirus Infections: A Narrative Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Countermeasures.\nAbstract: Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens of increasing global public health significance. Their epidemiological landscape is rapidly changing due to ecological disruption, climate variability, urbanisation, and evolving human-animal interfaces. This narrative review synthesises current knowledge on hantavirus virology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical management, and emerging countermeasures, with a focus on developments from the past 5\u00a0years. Traditionally classified into Old World viruses causing haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and New World viruses causing hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), this dichotomy has become increasingly blurred, with overlapping renal and pulmonary manifestations now recognized. Among the most consequential recent advances is the consolidated evidence for person-to-person transmission of Andes virus, documented among household contacts and during the prodromal phase, with viral shedding in respiratory secretions. Endothelial dysfunction remains the pathological hallmark of severe disease, driven by VEGF sensitisation, Src kinase and RhoA pathway activation, pericyte infection, and dysregulated inflammatory responses including IL-6 trans-signalling. Concurrently, environmental and ecological studies have linked climate change, rodent population dynamics, land-use modification, and urbanisation to increased human disease risk across multiple continents. Diagnostic strategies continue to rely on serology and molecular testing, while management remains predominantly supportive, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) improving survival in fulminant HCPS. Importantly, recent structural virology advances have enabled the development of broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies targeting conserved quaternary epitopes, as well as next-generation vaccine platforms including DNA, mRNA, and prefusion-stabilised glycoprotein candidates. Hantaviruses represent a paradigmatic One Health challenge at the intersection of environmental change, viral evolution, and global interconnectedness. Despite major progress in understanding transmission dynamics and endothelial pathogenesis, critical gaps remain regarding determinants of person-to-person spread, long-term post-infection sequelae, and the absence of licenced broadly protective vaccines or specific antiviral therapies. Future preparedness will require integrated surveillance frameworks combining ecological monitoring, genomic epidemiology, and clinical readiness within coordinated international public health strategies.\n\nID: 42536664\nTitle: Hexokinase-3 upregulation and histone H3K18 lactylation mediate murine liver fibrosis induced by Echinococcus multilocularis.\nAbstract: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by Echinococcus multilocularis infection, leads to destructive hepatic lesions and severe hepatic fibrosis. Lactylation, a post-translational modification, has been linked to fibrotic progression in hepatocytes. However, the role of E. multilocularis infection in hepatic lactylation remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between hepatic fibrosis and lactylation induced by E. multilocularis infection and fill this knowledge gap. The results showed that lactate concentrations in the livers and sera of AE mice were significantly elevated compared with those in the control group. The relative mRNA expression of hexokinase isoforms in the liver tissue of AE mouse models revealed significant upregulation of hexokinase-3 (HK3), a key enzyme regulating lactate production. Immunofluorescence staining revealed substantial colocalization between HK3 and TGF-\u03b21 in hepatic lesions of AE mice. Western blot analysis using a pan-lactylation antibody showed significantly elevated lactylation levels in the livers of AE mice compared with controls, with a significant increase in histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la). CUT&Tag analysis revealed differential enrichment of H3K18la at multiple fibrosis-associated genes in AE mouse liver. In vitro, AML-12 hepatocytes exposed to E. multilocularis culture supernatant showed significant upregulation of TGF-\u03b21, HK3, and histone lactylation. HK3 knockdown significantly reduced the induction of H3K18la and fibrosis-related proteins, whereas exogenous lactate supplementation significantly increased these responses despite HK3 silencing, confirming that lactate acts downstream of HK3 to drive histone lactylation and fibrogenesis. Corosolic acid, a compound that limits HK3-mediated lactate production, attenuated histone lactylation and fibrosis-related protein expression. These findings indicate that HK3-driven histone lactylation at H3K18 contributes to hepatic fibrosis in AE, and suggest that HK3 may serve as promising therapeutic targets for AE.\n\nID: 42535297\nTitle: The potential public health consequences of \"mRNA vaccine stigmatization\" in the US.\nAbstract: This piece documents how policymakers have stigmatized mRNA vaccination, in contrast to other forms of vaccine technology, following the COVID-19 pandemic. It further argues that, although it is presently unclear whether elites' efforts to stigmatize mRNA vaccines have spilled over to shape US public opinion, there is growing reason to believe that it might. Ultimately, mRNA vaccine stigmatization could erode public confidence in mRNA vaccination and limit access to life-saving vaccines. This piece concludes by outlining a research agenda for researchers at the intersection of politics and the life sciences who hope to better understand the causes and consequences of mRNA vaccine stigmatization.\n\nID: 42533606\nTitle: YTHDF3 Promotes the Progression of Gastric Cancer by Activating the Wnt/\u03b2-Catenin Signaling Pathway via Targeting NEK7.\nAbstract: Gastric cancer remains a major global health burden. This study aimed to investigate the biological function, clinical significance, and underlying molecular mechanism of the RNA-binding protein YTHDF3 in gastric cancer (GC) progression. YTHDF3 expression was analyzed using public databases (TCGA, GEO), clinical GC specimens (IHC, RT-qPCR), and GC cell lines. Functional roles were assessed through in\u00a0vitro proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis assays following YTHDF3 knockdown or overexpression, and via an in\u00a0vivo subcutaneous tumor model. Mechanistic insights were gained through RNA sequencing, RIP-qPCR, dual-luciferase reporter assay, co-immunofluorescence, rescue experiments, and western blotting to identify downstream targets and signaling pathways. YTHDF3 was significantly upregulated in GC tissues, correlating with lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. In\u00a0vitro, YTHDF3 knockdown inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting apoptosis, whereas its overexpression had the opposite effects. In\u00a0vivo, YTHDF3 knockdown suppressed tumor growth. Mechanistically, YTHDF3 directly bound to and stabilized NEK7 mRNA. NEK7 was highly expressed in GC and crucial for YTHDF3-mediated oncogenic effects. Furthermore, YTHDF3 promoted GC progression by activating the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway via NEK7, which was validated using a pathway inhibitor (IWR-1-endo). This study identifies the YTHDF3/NEK7 axis as a key regulator of GC progression via activation of the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin pathway. YTHDF3 represents a potential prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for GC.\n\nID: 42529228\nTitle: Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of bronchial lymph nodes reveals mechanisms of PRRSV escape from host adaptive immunity.\nAbstract: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), is characterized by impaired adaptive immune responses, including persistent viremia, delayed neutralizing antibody (nAb) development, and defective T-cell responses. However, the mechanisms by which PRRSV subverts adaptive immunity remain incompletely understood. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of bronchial lymph nodes (BLNs) collected from piglets infected with the highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV) wild-type isolate HV or its attenuated derivative N29 to characterize immune cell composition, transcriptional programs, and intercellular communication associated with PRRSV infection. HP-PRRSV HV infection reduced the proportions of multiple T-cell subsets, including naive T cells, proliferating T cells, and central memory T cells (Tcm), while increasing the proportion of B cells in BLNs. The infection also appeared to disrupt T-cell egress, potentially resulting in the accumulation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) within BLNs. In addition, HP-PRRSV HV impaired the crosstalk between T follicular helper cells and germinal center B cells, a key interaction required for antibody maturation, thereby potentially suppressing nAb production. Notably, we identified a previously unrecognized PRRSV-associated RAG1+ CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) T-cell subset with potential roles in lipid antigen recognition. These findings suggest a multifaceted understanding of the PRRSV immune evasion mechanisms and may provide critical clues for vaccine design and antiviral strategies.\n\nID: 42526176\nTitle: Effectiveness of BNT162B2 and CoronaVac vaccines in reducing COVID-19 severity among children aged 3-4\u00a0years in Brazil.\nAbstract: National population-based databases from large countries can provide real-world estimates of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness. This analysis examined the effectiveness of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac against severe COVID-19-related outcomes in children aged 3 to 4\u00a0years during the Omicron phase of the pandemic in Brazil. This nationwide population-based cohort study assessed incidence rate ratios for hospitalization due to COVID-19-associated severe acute respiratory syndrome, invasive ventilatory support, and death among children aged 3 to 4\u00a0years, according to vaccination status (unvaccinated, 1 dose, or 2 doses), during 2022-2023. The study period spanned epidemiological weeks 31-52 of 2022 and weeks 1-13 of 2023. Data on laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-related hospitalizations, clinical outcomes, and vaccination status were obtained from OpenDATASUS, and vaccination coverage was estimated using data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health COVID-19 vaccination dashboard. Among children aged 3 to 4\u00a0years completion of the primary series increased to 15% for CoronaVac and 2% for BNT162b2 during the study period, corresponding to 797,956 and 79,650 individuals receiving the second dose, respectively. A total of 963 children were hospitalized with COVID-19-associated severe acute respiratory syndrome. Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization was 79.0% (95% CI, 69.9%-85.4%) after partial vaccination and 49.2% (95% CI, 32.5%-61.9%) after completion of the primary series (p\u00a0<\u00a00.01). Effectiveness against invasive mechanical ventilation was 77.6% and 79.1%, respectively; no deaths occurred among fully vaccinated children. Direct comparisons between vaccines were not feasible because of the lower proportion of BNT162b2 recipients. COVID-19 vaccination, predominantly based on the CoronaVac vaccine, was associated with a significant reduction in severe outcomes among children aged 3-4\u00a0years, providing robust evidence to support pediatric immunization strategies and public health efforts.\n\nID: 42525218\nTitle: Integrated Single-Cell and TCR Profiling Reveals Protection-Associated CD8+ T Cell Subsets Linked to Viral Control in PRRSV.\nAbstract: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) remains a major threat to global swine industry, yet the immune mechanisms underlying protective vaccination are incompletely understood. Here, we applied integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and T cell receptor (TCR) profiling to characterize immune responses in a PRRSV vaccination-challenge model spanning complete, partial, and non-protection outcomes. We identified distinct CD8+ T cell subsets that were selectively enriched in protected animals vaccinated with modified live vaccine (MLV) and marked by clonal expansion, strong cytotoxic transcriptional programs, and enhanced functional activity, which correlated with rapid control of viremia after challenge. In contrast, non-protected animals accumulated dysfunctional CD8+ T cells expressing exhaustion-associated markers such as CTLA4 despite partial cytotoxic signatures. Mechanistically, the protection-associated responses were primarily driven by viral structural proteins (SP). Replacing the SP-coding region of a heterologous strain reshaped the CD8+ T cell landscape from a mixed cytotoxic/exhausted profile toward a protective program, accompanied by improved clinical outcomes. Further, optimal CD8+ T cell activation required macrophages/monocytes-derived innate signaling, including TLR4 and TLR8 pathways, and was enhanced by CD4+ T cell help. Together, our findings define protection-associated CD8+ T cell states linked to viral control and provide insights for rational PRRSV vaccine design.\n\nID: 42523483\nTitle: Stepwise Enhancement of HPV16 E6/E7 mRNA Vaccine Efficacy Using HSV-1 gD Epitope Incorporation and Immune-Modulating Agents.\nAbstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated malignancies remain a significant global health burden, particularly among individuals with established infection or limited access to prophylactic vaccination. Although the E6 and E7 oncogenes of high-risk HPV types represent attractive therapeutic targets, current vaccine approaches have shown limited clinical efficacy. In this study, we investigated multiple strategies to enhance the therapeutic activity of an HPV16 E6/E7 mRNA vaccine. To leverage pre-existing antiviral immune memory, we engineered an immunodominant CD4+ T-cell epitope derived from herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) into a ubiquitin-tagged mRNA-UB-E6/E7 construct, generating an epitope-enhanced HPV16 therapeutic vaccine. The ubiquitin moiety was incorporated as an additional potentiation strategy to enhance antigen processing and presentation. Antitumor efficacy, antigen-specific T-cell responses, and tumor immune infiltration were assessed following vaccination alone or in combination with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor entinostat or the STING agonist ADU-S100, two immunomodulatory agents known to remodel the tumor microenvironment. Incorporation of ubiquitin and HSV-1 gD CD4+ T-cell epitope significantly enhanced HPV-specific CD8+ T-cell responses and improved antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, combination therapy with either entinostat or ADU-S100 provided additional therapeutic benefit. These findings demonstrate that incorporation of a heterologous HSV-1 gD helper epitope can augment HPV E6/E7-targeted mRNA vaccination by harnessing pre-existing HSV-1-specific immune memory and enhancing CD4+ T-cell help. Together with ubiquitin-mediated enhancement of antigen presentation and modulation of the tumor microenvironment through HDAC inhibition or STING activation, these complementary potentiation strategies may further improve therapeutic outcomes and support the development of combinatorial immunotherapeutic approaches for HPV-associated cancers.\n\nID: 42523222\nTitle: Maternal vaccination timing shapes the composition and maturation of antibody clonotypes transferred to the newborn.\nAbstract: Newborns rely on maternally transferred antibodies for immune protection, acquired across the placenta and through breast milk. Despite this importance, how closely the inherited antibody repertoire resembles the mother's has not been examined at the clonotypic level. We combined BCR-Seq with proteomic Ig-Seq to track SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody clonotypes across maternal blood, cord blood, and breast milk from six mRNA-immunized pregnant individuals. Vaccination earlier in gestation generated more diverse peak IgG repertoires but greater contraction before delivery, yielding fewer transferred clonotypes. Vaccination later in gestation produced more restricted peak repertoires, but more clonotypes persisted to delivery and transferred to cord. Infant cord was enriched for persistent, highly somatically mutated, and intraclonally diverse IgG clonotypes, consistent with preferential transfer of affinity-matured antibodies. In contrast, breast milk IgA repertoires were largely distinct from systemic repertoires and underwent substantial remodeling despite stable antigen titers. These findings define molecular determinants of passive immunity shaped by vaccination timing relevant to optimizing maternal immunization.\n\nID: 42522800\nTitle: Thymoquinone Modulates Gene Expression Associated with Apoptosis in Colorectal Cancer: A Preclinical Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of BAX, BCL2, and CASP3.\nAbstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) continues to be a significant global health issue. Thymoquinone (TQ), a bioactive component of Nigella sativa, has shown anticancer capabilities by inducing apoptosis. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the impact of TQ on the levels of pro-apoptotic (BAX, CASP3) and anti-apoptotic (BCL2) markers in colorectal cancer cells. An extensive literature search was performed in Scopus, BASE, PubMed, and Web of Science for articles published from 2004 to 2025, adhering to PRISMA guidelines. Eligible in vitro and in vivo studies provided numerical data on gene or protein expression levels for BAX, BCL2, and CASP3, along with standard deviations. Effect sizes (g) were computed using a random-effects model, and heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated. A total of ten qualifying studies were incorporated. The meta-analysis indicated that TQ significantly (p < 0.001) increased BAX mRNA (g = 3.901) and protein levels (g = 4.232), decreased BCL2 mRNA (g = -3.680) and protein levels (g = -3.328), and markedly upregulated CASP3 mRNA (g = 5.669) and protein levels (g = 6.336). Subgroup analyses revealed consistent effects across CRC cell lines (HT29, SW480, SW620, HCT-15, and HCT116). Heterogeneity varied from low to moderate, and publication bias was low or not significant. The findings demonstrate that TQ exerts pro-apoptotic effects in colorectal cancer (CRC) models through the upregulation of BAX and CASP3 and the downregulation of BCL2. This suggests its potential therapeutic relevance rather than definitive biomarker utility. Nevertheless, further in vivo studies and early-phase clinical investigations are required to clarify its translational significance and to explore its possible implications for treatment responsiveness.\n\nID: 42521835\nTitle: tRF-27-87R8WP9N1E5 serves as a prognostic biomarker and tumor suppressor in gastric cancer by targeting the WNT4 pathway via Ago2.\nAbstract: Gastric cancer (GC) poses a significant global health burden, creating critical demands for early diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets. tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) have recently emerged as key regulatory molecules in tumorigenesis. However, the roles of tRFs in GC are largely unknown. The diagnostic and prognostic significance of tissue tRF-27-87R8WP9N1E5 (tRF-27) was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, survival, and Cox regression analyses. Gain- and loss-of-function studies in vitro and in vivo were performed to investigate its biological effects and regulatory mechanisms. RNA immunoprecipitation, dual-luciferase reporter, and immunohistochemical assays were used to validate WNT family member 4 (WNT4) mRNA as a direct target of tRF-27. Tissue tRF-27 expression progressively decreased from healthy controls to early and advanced GC. tRF-27 showed diagnostic value for GC, with the highest performance in advanced GC (the area under ROC curve = 0.780), and retained discriminatory capacity in patients negative for conventional serum biomarkers. Low tRF-27 expression was associated with poorer overall survival, while multivariate analysis identified tRF-27 as an independent protective prognostic factor (Hazard Ratio = 0.478, P\u2009=\u20090.020). Functionally, tRF-27 suppressed GC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and cell cycle, while promoting apoptosis. Mechanistically, tRF-27 directly bound the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of WNT4 mRNA in an Argonaute 2 (Ago2) dependent manner, inhibiting WNT4/\u03b2-catenin signaling and thereby mediating tumor-suppressive effects. In vivo, tRF-27 overexpression significantly inhibited xenograft tumor growth. tRF-27 functions as a tumor-suppressive regulator of the WNT4/\u03b2-catenin pathway and represents a promising complementary biomarker with diagnostic and prognostic relevance in GC. The tumor suppressor role and potential applications of tRF-27 in gastric cancer. tRF-27 may become a potential biomarker of gastric cancer and a promising candidate target for intervention. tRF-27 is downregulated in gastric cancer, while its restoration suppresses malignant phenotypes. Mechanistically, tRF-27 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of WNT4 mRNA and associates with Argonaute 2 (Ago2) to form an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), resulting in suppression of WNT4 expression and its downstream effectors, including \u03b2-catenin, TCF7, and Cyclin D1, thereby inhibiting gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration.\n\nID: 42520865\nTitle: Application of mRNA vaccines in head and neck cancer immunotherapy: Current progress and challenges.\nAbstract: Head and neck cancer (HNC) remains a significant global health burden, with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in conventional therapies. The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor heterogeneity have limited the efficacy of current treatments, driving the exploration of novel immunotherapeutic strategies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have established a role in recurrent/metastatic HNC, yet response rates remain modest and resistance is common. In this context, mRNA vaccines have emerged as a transformative approach due to their flexibility, rapid development, and ability to induce potent, antigen-specific immune responses. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the application of mRNA vaccines in HNC immunotherapy, focusing on three major antigen sources: tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), tumor-specific neoantigens (TSAs), and virus-associated antigens such as HPV E6/E7. We examine the advantages and limitations of different delivery platforms-including lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), and ex vivo dendritic cell (DC)-mRNA vaccines-and discuss their integration with other modalities such as ICIs, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Preclinical and clinical data demonstrate that personalized neoantigen vaccines can elicit robust T-cell responses and improve survival outcomes, particularly in HPV-positive HNSCC. However, challenges such as tumor heterogeneity, inefficient delivery, immunosuppressive TME, manufacturing complexity, and lack of predictive biomarkers hinder widespread translation. Future directions include the development of \"off-the-shelf\" shared-antigen vaccines, next-generation delivery systems with enhanced targeting, combination regimens, and biomarker-guided patient selection. With continued innovation in mRNA technology and translational research, mRNA vaccines hold immense potential to redefine the treatment paradigm for HNC, offering durable immune protection and improved clinical outcomes.\n\nID: 42520699\nTitle: Evaluation of the efficacy of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli bivalent live vaccine (serogroups O 1 &2) against Escherichia coli infection in broilers.\nAbstract: Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) leads to significant economic losses in poultry farming by causing high mortality rates, reduced productivity, and increased antibiotic use. Licensed vaccines against avian colibacillosis are available but with limitations, and the immunological basis of protection remains ill-defined. In this study, a bivalent live vaccine based on the APEC O1 and O2 serogroups was developed. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the non-immunized group, the bivalent vaccine immunized group showed a significant decrease in lesion score and colibacillosis positivity rate (p\u202f<\u202f0.05) after being challenged with APEC O1, O2, O78 serogroups. The mortality rate in vaccination/challenge group showed a decreasing trend without statistical significance compared with the challenge-only group. Immunological analysis confirmed that the vaccine induced a mucosal immune response mainly biased towards Th2, manifested by a significant increase in IgA antibody levels in tracheal lavage fluid and IL-6 mRNA expression in both spleen and lungs (p\u202f<\u202f0.01). The IgA antibody levels (measured as the optical density value at 450\u202fnm wavelength) of broilers vaccinated with the bivalent vaccine on the 28th and 29th days after vaccination were approximately 0.5 OD450\u202fnm units higher than those of the unvaccinated group. At the same time, the proportion of CD4+TCR V \u03b2 1+cells in peripheral blood significantly increased in relation to the non-immunized group (p\u202f<\u202f0.05). The safety assessment showed that the bivalent vaccine had no adverse effects on the growth performance and feed conversion rate of broiler chickens, did not cause pathological changes related to avian colibacillosis, and the vaccine strain survived in the body for less than 3 days without the ability of horizontal transmission. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of vaccines targeting avian colibacillosis.\n\nID: 42520014\nTitle: Non-human primate LIBRA-Seq accelerates neutralizing antibody discovery in RM vaccinated against HIV-1.\nAbstract: Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) exhibit protective efficacy against HIV-1 infection making them an ideal archetype for HIV-1 vaccine design. Presently, no vaccine candidate has induced antibody responses capable of meaningful protection against the swathe of circulating, difficult to neutralize tier 2 HIV-1 viruses. However, the development of stabilized, native-like envelope (Env) trimers such as BG505.SOSIP.664.T332N (BG505 SOSIP) has marked a significant advancement in vaccine design, due to their ability to elicit NAbs that neutralize tier 2 viruses in rhesus macaques (RM). NAb development following envelope trimer immunization in RM remains poorly understood, with hypothesized contributions from genetic variation at the IG loci, naive B cell repertoire, and differential gene expression in B cell lineages. To address these knowledge gaps, we have developed a set of BG505 SOSIP probes capable of recovering paired clonotype identity, antigen specificity, and gene expression of B cells in a high throughput fashion. These probes were constructed by conjugating biotinylated BG505 SOSIP to streptavidin covalently linked to both sc-RNA-Seq compatible DNA oligonucleotides and flow cytometry compatible fluorophores. Using these reagents, we isolated and sequenced BG505 SOSIP specific memory B cells from the PBMCs of an RM that developed high titers of neutralizing antibodies. To benchmark the accuracy of our technology, we compared our recovered heavy and light chain sequences to those identified from the same animal using conventional methodology and recovered 100% of previously identified NAbs. We then applied this technology to recover BG505 SOSIP specific memory B cells from five additional vaccinated RMs, cloned 34 antibodies for functional characterization, and identified ten antibodies with autologous neutralizing activity.\n\nID: 42551939\nTitle: [AI in Cancer Pathology-Present Developments and Future Directions for Treatment Optimization].\nAbstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have substantially expanded the role of pathological image analysis beyond improvements in diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. These developments now enable the integration of histopathological images with non-image data, prediction of treatment response and prognosis, and reduction of the workload for medical professionals. In this review, we provide an overview of representative analytical methods for pathological images, as well as approaches for predicting biomarkers and therapeutic responsiveness directly from histological images. We summarize key studies across major cancer types, pan-cancer investigations, and examples that have been successfully implemented in clinical practice. Additionally, we introduce emerging frameworks such as quantitative analysis of cellular components and tumor microenvironments, pathology foundation models, mRNA expression-based treatment response prediction, integration with spatial transcriptomics data, and applications in clinical trial design. Despite this progress, several challenges remain, such as limited availability of large-scale, high-quality datasets, domain shift across institutions, lack of model interpretability, potential biases, and significant barriers to clinical implementation and regulatory approval. Nevertheless, future developments are expected to enable the simultaneous estimation of multiple biomarkers from a single pathological image, potentially eliminating the need for additional tests. Ultimately, such advances may facilitate rapid, patient-specific drug selection and contribute to more efficient and personalized cancer treatment.\n\nID: 42514893\nTitle: Anti-PEG Immunogenicity of mRNA-LNP Vaccines in Humans: Evidence for Population-Level Changes in the Anti-PEG Antibody Repertoire.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used to enhance the stability and pharmacokinetics of nanomedicines, including lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based mRNA vaccines. However, both pre-existing and vaccine-induced anti-PEG antibodies may compromise the efficacy and safety of PEGylated therapeutics. Methods: In this study, we analyzed the specificity and avidity of anti-PEG antibodies in human blood donor samples from Unvaccinated individuals and recipients of PEGylated mRNA-LNP vaccines (Comirnaty and Spikevax), polysorbate-containing vaccines, or vaccines lacking both PEG and polysorbates. Quantitative ELISA was used to characterize anti-PEG and anti-polysorbate IgM and IgG responses in 325 plasma samples, while an equilibrium titration method was applied to assess IgG binding to PEG molecules, micelles, and PEGylated liposomes with defined structural features in 36 plasma samples. Results: Vaccination with PEGylated mRNA-LNPs was associated with increased anti-PEG antibody levels and qualitative changes in antibody binding behavior. Anti-PEG IgG antibodies displayed progressively higher avidity toward larger and structurally more complex PEG-containing antigens, with the strongest binding observed for PEGylated liposomes. Notably, vaccinated individuals, particularly those who received Spikevax, showed increased end-group and backbone-specific avidity, as well as an enhanced ability of antibody paratopes to engage shorter PEG chains. In contrast, polysorbate-containing or PEG-free vaccines did not elicit comparable effects. Conclusions: These findings suggest that vaccination with PEGylated mRNA-LNPs is associated with the emergence of altered antibody populations with increased end-group reactivity and higher avidity toward PEG-directed immune responses, despite PEG being a synthetic, nonprotein polymer. Antibody binding to LNPs, accompanied by the emergence of high-avidity anti-PEG IgG seems to be consistent with an increased risk of adverse events, particularly following repeated vaccinations, including complement activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA) and anaphylaxis. It may also contribute to altered immune protection against the vaccine target, underscoring the need for avidity-aware risk-benefit assessment of PEGylated therapeutics.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

Among current vaccine technologies, mRNA vaccines offer unique advantages, including rapid development, flexible antigen design, and potent immunogenicity. However, efficient mucosal delivery of mRNA remains challenging due to biological barriers within the respiratory tract, including mucus clearance, limited cellular uptake, and instability during aerosolization. Furthermore, mRNA formulations intended for respiratory mucosal delivery require more stringent safety and tolerability profiles. Recent advances in nanoparticle engineering have accelerated the development of mRNA delivery systems optimized for respiratory mucosal immunization. This review aims to evaluate how nanoparticle engineering strategies can overcome respiratory mucosal barriers and improve the safety, stability, delivery efficiency, extrahepatic expression, and immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. We summarize recent progress in engineered mRNA nanoparticle platforms for respiratory mucosal immunity, encompassing modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), polymer-based mRNA nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticle systems, including lipid-inorganic, polymeric hybrid, and lipid-extracellular vesicle (EV) nanoparticles. We further discuss optimization strategies for mucosal mRNA delivery, including the incorporation of appropriate adjuvants, the development of polyethylene glycol (PEG) alternatives, and advanced delivery approaches. Finally, we highlight current challenges and future directions for the rational design of next-generation mRNA nanoparticle platforms that can induce durable and broadly protective mucosal immunity against respiratory viral infections.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42506633 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42514945 for the quote: \"mRNA therapeutics offer a promising strategy for regulating disease-driving pathways... establishing an optimized platform for lung-selective modRNA delivery.\"\n FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Although modified mRNA (modRNA) therapeutics offer a promising strategy for regulating disease-driving pathways, effective pulmonary delivery remains challenging due to the inherent liver tropism of conventional lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). This study aimed to establish an optimized platform for lung-selective modRNA delivery and therapeutic screening for pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: A panel of charge-modified LNP formulations was evaluated in vivo for pulmonary tropism following systemic administration of luciferase (Luc) modRNA. Administration routes, biodistribution in healthy and bleomycin (BLM)-induced fibrotic lungs, and endogenous microRNA (miRNA)-mediated de-targeting strategies were assessed. Candidate antifibrotic modRNAs targeting the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2) signaling pathway were subsequently evaluated in normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLFs). Results: Among the formulations tested, 50% DOTAP MC3 LNPs demonstrated the most favorable balance of pulmonary transfection, physicochemical properties, and limited off-target expression. Intravenous (IV) administration achieved robust lung expression with a superior safety profile compared with intratracheal (IT) delivery. Importantly, pulmonary biodistribution was preserved in BLM-induced fibrotic lungs despite extensive tissue remodeling. Incorporation of miR-122 recognition sites further enhanced selectivity, resulting in 94.5% of total transgene expression being localized to the lungs while substantially reducing residual hepatic expression. In vitro screening identified dominant-negative TGF-\u03b2 receptor II (DNTGFBR2) modRNA as a potent inhibitor of TGF-\u03b2-induced fibrotic activation, significantly suppressing \u03b1-SMA and CTGF expression. Conclusions: These findings establish a comprehensive platform for pulmonary modRNA therapeutic development by integrating lung-selective LNP engineering, optimal systemic delivery, miRNA-mediated de-targeting, and therapeutic payload screening. This strategy provides a foundation for the development of targeted RNA therapies for pulmonary fibrosis and other organ-specific diseases.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42514945 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42508646 for the quote: \"Our results demonstrate novel approaches to design modular mRNA-based vaccine candidates for clinical development of non-secreted antigens.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Insufficient BKPyV-specific immunity underlies the onset and duration of BKPyV-DNAemia and nephropathy. BKPyV-specific T-cells have been correlated with protection and include cytotoxic CD8 T-cells targeting immunodominant 9mer-epitopes encoded in the viral large tumor-antigen (LTag). To develop vaccines increasing LTag-specific T-cells, we reduced the 695 amino acid-long LTag to 143 residues or less, comprising four clusters of immunodominant 9mers presented by 54 HLA-alleles. Prediction algorithms allowed to improve global coverage, AAY-linker placement, proteasomal processing, and solubility. Using a human cell culture vaccination model, transfection of adherent monocytes with LTAG1-mRNA and LTAG2-mRNA demonstrated the expected 13.9kD and 15.2kD immunogens, respectively. LTAG2-mRNA induced higher CD8 T-cell responses than LTAG1-mRNA, with an interferon-\u03b3-positive CD62L-CD45RA-effector memory phenotype and cytotoxicity for BKPyV-replicating primary human renal tubular epithelial cells. We tested three additional candidates (LTAG3-mRNA, LTAG4-mRNA, LTAG5-mRNA) by changing AAY-linkers and extending immunogenic regions. The encoded immunogens were expressed and increased upon proteasome inhibitor treatment. LTag5-expanded T-cells showed BKPyV-specific interferon-\u03b3 expression and cytotoxicity. Our results demonstrate novel approaches to design modular mRNA-based vaccine candidates for clinical development of non-secreted antigens using BKPyV as a paradigm of non-enveloped DNA viruses.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42508646 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42512890 for the quote: \"Budesonide significantly reduced RANTES/CCL5 and IL-8/CXCL8 mRNA expression, with a corresponding decrease in secreted IL-8 concentration.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

However, their direct impact on pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of budesonide on immune responses and the expression of coronavirus entry receptors in human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L). Materials and Methods: HMVEC-L cells were exposed to budesonide (1 ng/mL), a non-cytotoxic concentration selected based on cell viability assays. The mRNA expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), aminopeptidase N (AP-N), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), interferon beta (IFN-\u03b2), RANTES/CCL5, and interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8) was analyzed using quantitative RT-PCR. The surface expression of ACE2, DPP4, AP-N, and ICAM-1 was assessed using flow cytometry. Secreted IL-8 concentration was measured using ELISA. Results: Budesonide significantly reduced AP-N and DPP4 mRNA expression, accompanied by a decrease in the surface expression of both receptors. ACE2 mRNA expression was transiently reduced, whereas ACE2 surface expression was modestly increased by approximately 5% at 72 h. Budesonide also reduced early ICAM-1 mRNA expression but increased its surface expression at the later time point. Budesonide significantly reduced RANTES/CCL5 and IL-8/CXCL8 mRNA expression, with a corresponding decrease in secreted IL-8 concentration, whereas IFN-\u03b2 mRNA expression showed a non-significant statistical decrease. Conclusions: Budesonide directly modulates pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression. These findings indicate that budesonide modulates the expression of coronavirus-associated receptors and basal antiviral and inflammatory mediators in HMVEC-L cells. Because viral binding, entry, replication, and infection were not assessed, these results should be interpreted as evidence of receptor and immune-mediator modulation rather than as demonstrating altered coronavirus susceptibility.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42512890 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination.\" (Source: 42550058)\n- \"mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes.\" (Source: 42550058)\n- \"mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains.\" (Source: 42441816)\n- \"All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition.\" (Source: 42441816)\n- \"At Day 29, mRNA-1083 elicited noninferior immune responses versus active comparators for all evaluated influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2.\" (Source: 42531981)\n- \"In the overall study population, mRNA-1083 demonstrated superiority for the comparator-matched influenza strains and for SARS-CoV-2.\" (Source: 42531981)\n- \"There were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis, and no reported serious adverse events or deaths related to study intervention.\" (Source: 42531981)\n- \"Immune responses were maintained through 6 months post-vaccination.\" (Source: 42531981)\n- \"Notably, a minimal 0.01 \u03bcg dose of CLsamRNA conferred complete protection against lethal H5N8 influenza virus challenge in BALB/c mice.\" (Source: 42528137)\n- \"These findings support CLsamRNA as a distinct cap-independent RNA vaccine platform with dose-sparing protective efficacy against HPAI H5 viruses.\" (Source: 42528137)\n- \"Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles.\" (Source: 42505558)\n- \"mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties.\" (Source: 42522246)\n- \"From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases.\" (Source: 42541646)\n- \"mRNA-based therapy provides a compelling alternative to small molecules and DNA-based gene therapy, combining high specificity with an excellent safety profile.\" (Source: 42504429)\n- \"Messenger RNA-lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP)-based drug products represent a promising platform for prophylactic and therapeutic applications.\" (Source: 42506657)\n- \"Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses.\" (Source: 42410167)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

Current clinical evidence supports that mRNA-1010 and multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccines provide immunogenicity comparable or superior to licensed high-dose/enhanced influenza vaccines, maintaining a favorable safety profile with no significant increase in reactogenicity or serious adverse events.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe rapid development of mRNA technology during the COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated the creation of versatile vaccine platforms for seasonal influenza. Clinical evaluations indicate that these vaccines, including mRNA-1010 and the quadrivalent-like multicomponent mRNA-1083, are capable of generating robust humoral and cellular immune responses. The data suggest that these platforms are not merely comparable to existing enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs) but also offer advantages in rapid antigen optimization. Specifically, mRNA-1010 has demonstrated efficacy profiles similar to currently licensed EVs in adults aged 65 and older, while mRNA-1083 has shown noninferiority and, in some contexts, superiority to active comparators for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Safety analyses across these studies consistently support their well-tolerated nature.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 immunogenicity is comparable to traditional high-dose influenza vaccines, a critical finding for addressing immunosenescence in older populations.\n* The multicomponent mRNA-1083 vaccine enables simultaneous protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 without compromising individual immune response magnitudes.\n* Capless self-amplifying mRNA (CLsamRNA) platforms show extreme dose-sparing potential (e.g., 0.01 \u03bcg), reducing the manufacturing requirements for large-scale production.\n* mRNA vaccination induces a distinct Th1/Tfh1-biased cellular immune response, which correlates with long-lasting memory.\n* Sequential administration of mRNA-based COVID-19 and influenza vaccines does not inhibit the development of antigen-specific immunity against either virus.\n* mRNA-based influenza platforms can be rapidly updated to address antigenic drift, a key improvement over egg-based production.\n* No signals for myocarditis or pericarditis were identified in the reported phase 3 clinical trials for mRNA-1083.\n* Current mRNA-LNP delivery systems are being engineered to shift expression profiles, such as increasing spleen-selective immunity for better T-cell priming.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended."

An investigational messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccine called mRNA-1010 encodes hemagglutinin glycoproteins from World Health Organization-recommended influenza strains. In this phase 3, double-blind, active-controlled trial, we randomly assigned adults 50 years of age or older to receive trivalent mRNA-1010 (37.5 \u03bcg, which includes 12.5 \u03bcg of each strain) or a licensed standard-dose comparator. The primary efficacy end point was relative vaccine efficacy against reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness caused by influenza A or B, from at least 14 days after vaccination through the end of the influenza season. Hypothesis testing was conducted hierarchically to assess noninferiority (lower boundary of the 95% confidence interval [CI], >-10%), superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >0%), and a higher level of superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >9.1%). A total of 40,703 participants received mRNA-1010 (20,350 participants) or the standard-dose comparator (20,353 participants); the median follow-up was 181 days (range, 1 to 227). RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness was observed in 411 of 20,179 recipients of mRNA-1010 (2.0%) and 557 of 20,124 recipients of the standard-dose comparator (2.8%), which corresponds to a relative vaccine efficacy of 26.6% (95% CI, 16.7 to 35.4), thereby meeting the criteria for noninferiority, superiority, and higher-level superiority. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010 than with the standard-dose comparator (injection-site pain in 65.8% vs. 29.8%, fatigue in 45.1% vs. 20.3%, headache in 37.8% vs. 18.0%, and myalgia in 35.4% vs. 11.6%); most reactions were mild to moderate and transient. Serious adverse events were reported in 2.2% of the recipients of mRNA-1010 (with three events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related) and in 1.9% of the recipients of the standard-dose comparator (with two events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related). In this trial, mRNA-1010 was superior to standard-dose licensed vaccines for prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness in adults 50 years of age or older. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010. (Funded by Blackstone Life Sciences and Moderna; Fluent ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT06602024.)."

We employed sequence optimization strategies that successfully enhanced the antigen expression of hemagglutinin (HA) and developed mRNA vaccine candidates targeting the WHO-recommended strains. When administered at a low dose (0.1 \u03bcg), both mono-and trivalent influenza A mRNA vaccines induced robust humoral immunity and conferred complete protection against homologous viral challenge in murine models, outperforming the quadrivalent inactivated vaccine (QIV, 2 \u03bcg). In contrast, IBV mRNA vaccines at an equivalent dose failed to elicit detectable antibodies and offered no protection, consistent with prior evidence of suboptimal immunogenicity in human trials. These findings highlight strain-specific immunogenicity constraints inherent to conventional mRNA platforms. To overcome these limitations, we systematically compared three distinct RNA vaccine modalities: (1) nucleoside-modified mRNA, (2) self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), and (3) circular RNA (circRNA). Notably, a single 0.1\u2005\u00b5g dose of the trivalent saRNA vaccine elicited robust humoral immunity and provided complete protection against IBV challenge, whereas mRNA vaccination achieved only 14% survival. Importantly, long-term antibody monitoring over 20 weeks showed that saRNA at the low 0.1 \u03bcg dose maintained high antibody levels, with a markedly more durable response to IBV antigens than those of other platforms. Moreover, the trivalent mRNA vaccine exhibited a favourable safety profile, with no obvious abnormal body weight changes or serum biochemical abnormalities observed after immunization. Our findings advocate for strain-adaptive platform selection: conventional mRNA for generating rapid, high-magnitude responses against influenza A and next-generation saRNA vaccines for enhanced dose efficiency, particularly against IBV."

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection."

Vaccination is a cornerstone of disease prevention, though traditional platforms face challenges. Recently, several vaccines utilizing mRNA and adenovirus platforms were brought to the market, with additional vaccines undergoing Phase 3 clinical testing. This review assesses vaccine literature primarily from 2020 to the present, using National Library of Medicine databases. The rapidity of mRNA technology was tested and implemented successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the mRNA RSV vaccine has been licensed as well. mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens. Several combination products have been used in phase III clinical trials. Adenovirus-vectored vaccines for respiratory viruses have the added advantage of mucosal-based delivery and inducing a potentially stronger local immune response. However, both of these platforms have immunogenicity and safety shortcomings. Novel respiratory virus vaccine platforms have demonstrated their importance with both endemic and pandemic pathogens, because of decades of concerted efforts and investment in research. Expediting future vaccine development requires a continuation of these efforts with a focus on pre-clinical models and a better understanding of correlates of protection."

However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42295617\nTitle: mRNA Vaccines for Influenza: Hope for a Universal Vaccine?\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza epidemics and pandemics remain a persistent public health threat. A universal influenza vaccine is urgently needed. Such a vaccine must accommodate rapid viral evolution, strain diversity-including types A and B and their many subtypes-and the complexities of human immune history and biases. Messenger RNA (mRNA)-formulated lipid-nanoparticles have evolved from an emergency pandemic vaccine experiment into a versatile vaccine platform. This technology has demonstrated potential to address several critical challenges in developing a universal influenza vaccine, including rapid strain updates, the production of high-valent formulations, and the ability to target conserved antigens that may induce broader and longer-lasting protection. This review summarizes recent studies and applications of multivalent antigen selection strategies and self-amplifying and circular RNA vaccine platforms to develop mRNA influenza vaccines to achieve vaccine universality, with an emphasis on immune responses against conserved targets. We also review the latest advances in generating long-term mucosal immunity against influenza through optimized mRNA delivery. Finally, we discuss practical considerations for correlates of protection, manufacturing, and accessibility, pioneering mRNA vaccine candidates heading to clinical trials, and milestones that define vaccine \"universality.\""

This study evaluated trends in pharmacy-based influenza vaccination among adults aged \u226565 in New Zealand following the 2017 funding policy change, with the aim of examining whether the availability of government-funded influenza vaccination increased pharmacy-based vaccination in this population. Data on influenza vaccinations administered between 2015 and 2021 to adults \u226565 were provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Health from the National Immunisation Register. Descriptive analyses were employed to assess the absolute number and percentage of vaccinations given by each provider type from 2015 through 2021 to document trends after the public funding policy change and in the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of influenza vaccinations administered increased from 322\u2009161 in 2015 to 525\u2009769 in 2021. After public funding for influenza vaccination began in pharmacies, annual physician- and nurse-administered vaccinations ranged from 401\u2009840 to 426\u2009005 and 12\u2009590 to 19\u2009586, respectively, between 2018 and 2021, while pharmacist-administered vaccinations steadily increased from 16\u2009042 to 96\u2009343. The percentage of influenza vaccinations administered by pharmacists grew from nearly 0% in 2015 to 3.7% in 2018 and 18.3% in 2021. Research findings suggest that public funding for pharmacist-administered influenza vaccinations contributed to expanding overall influenza vaccine access in New Zealand among adults \u226565. In addition, the increase in pharmacist-delivered vaccinations did not negatively impact vaccinations administered by traditional providers, further demonstrating the value and growing role of pharmacies in advancing national immunization efforts."

The study aim was to assess the safety and VE of the 2023-2024 protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5) in a real-world setting. The single-site, pragmatic BEEHIVE clinical trial was conducted among participants aged \u226518\u00a0years from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area, who had previously received \u22652 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, from November 17, 2023, through September 9, 2024. Randomized participants received a protein-based or mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a double-blind manner. An unblinded, nonrandomized comparator control group that did not receive a study vaccine was also enrolled. The primary aim measured VE between the randomized and comparator groups. The secondary aim was to measure rVE between the 2 vaccine platforms. In the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, VE and rVE were estimated using a proportional-hazards model for symptomatic infections confirmed by weekly self-administered rapid antigen tests (RATs) over 24\u00a0weeks, adjusted for covariates. Reactogenicity and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded. Randomized cohorts (N\u00a0=\u00a0909; protein-based, n\u00a0=\u00a0452; mRNA, n\u00a0=\u00a0457) were largely well-balanced with some differences in baseline covariates versus the comparator group (n\u00a0=\u00a0279), mostly age-related. The mITT population had 142 RAT-confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases with an adjusted VE of 43.6% (95% CI, 18.3-61.0); rVE (protein-based vs mRNA) was -26.7% (90% CI, -78.6% to 10.1%) and did not reach statistical significance. Safety and reactogenicity were comparable to previously reported findings, with no serious study vaccine-related TEAEs, myocarditis/pericarditis, hospitalization, or death. This is one of the earliest real-world trials evaluating the VE of the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5). These results suggest that both protein-based and mRNA vaccines are well-tolerated and significantly reduce the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections."

We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses in 25 JN.1 mRNA vaccinees against eight variants, stratified by anti-nucleocapsid antibody serostatus. Postvaccination titers increased significantly against all variants in both N antibody-negative and -positive groups. Cross-neutralization against BA.3.2.2 was detected in both groups despite lower titers compared to JN.1. Antigenic cartography revealed that BA.3.2.2 was antigenically isolated from all JN.1-descendant variants. AZD3152/sipavibart retained potent neutralization against BA.3.2.2 but completely lost activity against all F456L-harboring JN.1-descendant variants, while VYD222/pemivibart and SA55 maintained broad activity.

"abstract_text": "ID: 42076068\nTitle: Advancing Needle-Free Jet Injectors for Global Vaccine Delivery.\nAbstract: Background: Global immunization programs continue to rely on needle-based injections despite persistent concerns regarding sharps disposal, accidental injuries, and the technical skill required for accurate intradermal administration. Needle-free jet injectors (NFJIs) are an alternative delivery method in which narrow, high-velocity liquid jets penetrate the skin without a needle. Contemporary designs, ranging from single-use disposable-syringe injectors to digitally controlled electromechanical devices, address historical safety issues and meet current WHO and FDA device expectations. Methods: Evidence from engineering analyses, preclinical modeling, and clinical trials was reviewed to characterize how jet velocity, nozzle structure, and formulation rheology influence skin penetration and drug dispersion. Published vaccine studies were examined for antibody responses, seroconversion, and reactogenicity compared with needle-syringe injection. Field vaccination campaign data from national campaigns and operational reports were evaluated to describe implementation steps, acceptability, and implementation constraints. Results: Published studies evaluating vaccines, including inactivated influenza, hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies, and measles, report antibody titers and seroconversion rates after NFJI administration that are comparable to those achieved with conventional intramuscular or intradermal needle injection. Needle-free delivery was associated with operational advantages in several immunization programs, including reduced sharps waste and improved vaccination rate during high-volume immunization campaigns. Local and systemic reactogenicity follows expected patterns, with slightly higher injection-site responses in some NFJI studies. Imaging and mechanical data confirm that jet performance depends on nozzle geometry and controlled pressure pulses. At the same time, formulation stability remains a critical determinant of successful jet-based vaccine administration, particularly for protein antigens, adjuvanted formulations, and emerging mRNA vaccines that may experience transient shear stress during high-velocity injection. Evidence from vaccination campaigns further indicates that needle-free jet injectors reduce sharps waste, simplify vaccine handling and administration procedures, and support rapid vaccine delivery in large-scale immunization programs. Conclusions: Needle-free jet injectors are a practical alternative to traditional needle-based injections for some vaccines. Their main benefits include enabling intradermal dose-sparing strategies, reducing reliance on sharps disposal methods, and enabling the efficient vaccination of large groups without compromising immunogenicity. Future research should define the physicochemical stability limits of biologic formulations subjected to jet injection and evaluate digitally controlled injectors capable of precise pressure modulation and adjustable delivery parameters. In addition, needle-free jet injection eliminates needle penetration and sharps handling, which may reduce needle-associated anxiety and improve vaccine acceptability among individuals with needle aversion."

Here, we developed a capless samRNA (CLsamRNA) vaccine platform derived from a Coxsackievirus B5 replicon that uses IRES-mediated cap-independent translation. Systematic optimization of key genetic elements enhanced antigen expression from the CLsamRNA backbone. Using reporter RNAs, LNP-formulated CLsamRNA showed rapid early expression and RNA amplification, with expression kinetics distinct from VEEV-based saRNA and nucleoside-modified mRNA comparators. When encoding the hemagglutinin antigen of highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses, CLsamRNA induced potent immune responses after LNP formulation. In mouse models, CLsamRNA induced potent neutralizing antibody responses, cross-reactive activity against clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus, Th1-skewed humoral immunity, and strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses. CLsamRNA also elicited platform-specific early inflammatory and lymph-node immune gene signatures associated with antigen presentation, costimulation, and cellular immune priming. Notably, a minimal 0.01 \u03bcg dose of CLsamRNA conferred complete protection against lethal H5N8 influenza virus challenge in BALB/c mice. These findings support CLsamRNA as a distinct cap-independent RNA vaccine platform with dose-sparing protective efficacy against HPAI H5 viruses."

Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of antiviral immunity and antigen presentation; yet, the direct impact of RSV on these pathways remains poorly understood. In this study, we identify sustained HLA-DM expression as a unique hallmark of RSV infected CD1c+ DCs, a phenotype not observed following influenza infection or poly(I:C) stimulation. Using single cell RNA sequencing, pharmacological inhibition, and complementary controls, we demonstrate that TBK1 dependent Type I Interferon signaling is a key regulator of HLA-DM expression during DC maturation. Co-culture experiments further suggest that HLA-DM-high DCs influence CD4+ T cell differentiation, supporting a model in which sustained HLA-DM expression reshapes antigen presentation and downstream adaptive immunity. Together, these findings uncover a previously unknown link between innate antiviral signaling and antigen presentation machinery in human DCs."

Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382."

In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period.

Large-sample clinical data have demonstrated that the in-hospital mortality of COVID-19-associated myocarditis reaches 19.4%, significantly higher than that of influenza-associated myocarditis (10.5%). Additionally, the incidence of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy-related myocarditis is 6.2%, while the mortality of sepsis-associated myocarditis is as high as 70%-90%. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the core pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity, dominate the entire pathological cascade, ranging from pathogen recognition and acute inflammatory burst to myocardial injury and chronic fibrous remodeling. Nevertheless, most current studies merely focus on the linear correlation between individual TLR activation and myocardial inflammation, failing to systematically clarify pathogen-TLR matching specificity and the spatiotemporal dynamic regulatory mechanisms of TLR signaling throughout disease progression. This review comprehensively combs the latest epidemiological profiles of infectious myocarditis, characterizes the expression patterns and signaling regulatory features of the TLR family within the cardiac immune microenvironment, analyzes pathogen-specific recognition modes mediated by common pathogens, elaborates the spatiotemporal regulatory rules of TLR signaling across acute inflammation, immune deviation and chronic fibrosis stages, and summarizes pathogen-oriented intervention strategies as well as relevant translational bottlenecks. Cumulative clinical evidence confirms that pathogen-TLR matching determines inflammatory phenotypes and severity of infectious myocarditis, and that the spatiotemporal dynamics of TLR signaling directly govern disease progression. Notably, TLR-targeted therapies must adhere to the core principles of pathogen specificity and staged precise regulation. This review provides a systematic theoretical basis for precise immunodiagnosis and individualized immunotherapy of infectious myocarditis."

Vaccination is a cornerstone of disease prevention, though traditional platforms face challenges. Recently, several vaccines utilizing mRNA and adenovirus platforms were brought to the market, with additional vaccines undergoing Phase 3 clinical testing. This review assesses vaccine literature primarily from 2020 to the present, using National Library of Medicine databases. The rapidity of mRNA technology was tested and implemented successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the mRNA RSV vaccine has been licensed as well. mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens. Several combination products have been used in phase III clinical trials. Adenovirus-vectored vaccines for respiratory viruses have the added advantage of mucosal-based delivery and inducing a potentially stronger local immune response. However, both of these platforms have immunogenicity and safety shortcomings. Novel respiratory virus vaccine platforms have demonstrated their importance with both endemic and pandemic pathogens, because of decades of concerted efforts and investment in research. Expediting future vaccine development requires a continuation of these efforts with a focus on pre-clinical models and a better understanding of correlates of protection."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease."

The primary limitation of current conventional mRNA platforms, specifically their suboptimal efficacy against IBV, is being addressed by next-generation modalities such as self-amplifying RNA and capless vaccine designs, which facilitate higher, more durable immune responses at lower dosages.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 is consistently shown to be superior to standard-dose vaccines for the prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza-like illness in older adults.\n* The integration of internal viral proteins (e.g., nucleoprotein) and neuraminidase is essential for achieving universal cross-protection.\n* Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) platforms significantly improve IBV-specific immunogenicity compared to conventional mRNA.\n* Pharmacist-led vaccination programs, as seen in New Zealand, remain a primary driver for increasing vaccine uptake in the geriatric population.\n* The use of needle-free jet injectors provides a potential technological bridge for more efficient, dose-sparing delivery of future mRNA influenza formulations.\n* Current data indicate that mRNA-based multicomponent vaccines (e.g., mRNA-1083) represent a viable strategy for co-protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2.\n* There is a transition in research focus from mere antibody titer measurement to monitoring circulating follicular helper T-cell responses for deeper immunological memory assessment.\n* Computational and algorithm-optimized mRNA H5 influenza vaccines are now successfully inducing broad immune responses against clades of highly pathogenic avian influenza.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended.\n\nID: 42541079\nTitle: Respiratory mucosal immunity: Biological functions, diseases, prevention and therapy.\nAbstract: Respiratory mucosal (RM) immunity is a highly specialized and dynamic network that safeguards the airways from inhaled pathogens while preserving tissue homeostasis. Acting as the body's first line of defense, RM immunity integrates immune tolerance, barrier protection, immune surveillance, tissue repair, and the establishment of long-term immunological memory. Dysregulation of these processes contributes to a broad spectrum of diseases, including acute viral and bacterial infections, fungal colonization, and chronic inflammatory disorders, highlighting the urgent need for effective preventive strategies targeting the respiratory mucosa. The unprecedented global impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has further highlighted this need and catalyzed rapid advances in vaccines capable of inducing both local and systemic immunity at the respiratory portal of entry, alongside progress in inhalable antibody therapies. This review first summarizes the principal biological functions of the respiratory mucosa and the underlying mechanisms, followed by an overview of immune dysregulation associated with respiratory diseases. It then highlights recent advances in mucosal intervention strategies, with a particular focus on the development of RM vaccine platforms-including live-attenuated, inactivated, viral vector, protein subunit, and mRNA vaccines. It further discusses next-generation RM vaccine strategies emphasizing upper airway immunity, broadened antigen design and intranasal safety. Together, these advances provide a conceptual and translational framework for advancing RM-based interventions against respiratory pathogens.\n\nID: 42522246\nTitle: The Role of CD4 T Cell Repertoire and Immune Memory Mechanisms in Vaccination and Infection Immunity.\nAbstract: CD4+ T cells orchestrate adaptive immunity against respiratory viruses through functionally distinct subsets, yet the qualitative differences between vaccine- and infection-induced responses remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection.\n\nID: 42505558\nTitle: From Pandemic Innovation to Platform Diversification: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Preclinical Development of Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccines.\nAbstract: Background: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as a versatile platform beyond SARS-CoV-2, with expanding applications in infectious diseases and oncology. However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation.\n\nID: 42501715\nTitle: Interim analysis of effectiveness of JN.1-adapted conventional and self-amplifying mRNA COVID-19 vaccines against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults aged \u226560\u00a0years, Japan, October 2024-April 2025.\nAbstract: In Japan, JN.1-adapted conventional mRNA and self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines were introduced during the 2024-2025 season. We estimated the effectiveness of these vaccines against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among adults aged \u226560\u00a0years using a test-negative design (October 1, 2024-April 30, 2025). Eligible episodes were \u22651 COVID-19-like symptom and SARS-CoV-2 testing. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was estimated using mixed-effects logistic regression. We included 954 episodes; 273 (28.6%) were SARS-CoV-2-positive. VE of combined JN.1-adapted conventional and self-amplifying mRNA vaccines was 46.7% (95% CI: 5.5-69.9) at \u22657\u00a0days, 51.6% (95% CI: 5.0-75.4) at 7-90\u00a0days, and 35.9% (95% CI: -50.0-72.6) at >90\u00a0days after vaccination. VE of the JN.1-adapted sa-mRNA vaccine alone was 74.5% (95% CI: 31.3-90.6) at \u22657\u00a0days. JN.1-adapted mRNA vaccination, including the sa-mRNA vaccine, was estimated to provide protection against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among older adults in Japan.\n\nID: 42441816\nTitle: Optimized seasonal influenza mRNA vaccine compositions demonstrate safety and enhanced immunogenicity in a phase 2 study.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes considerable morbidity and mortality, with influenza A and B viruses driving most influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths. Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382.\n\nID: 42415697\nTitle: Dynamics of Circulating Follicular Helper and Regulatory T-Cell Memory Induced by mRNA, Inactivated, and Live-Attenuated Vaccines.\nAbstract: OX40 signaling promotes the differentiation of memory CD4+ T cells into T follicular helper (Tfh) cells that support germinal center (GC) B-cell responses. Using an extended activation-induced marker (AIM) assay based on OX40 (CD134) and CD25 coexpression, we quantified antigen-specific circulating memory Tfh and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells following in vitro stimulation with influenza, SARS-CoV-2, or measles antigens. Responses were assessed longitudinally in recipients of inactivated influenza (n\u2009=\u200920) and mRNA COVID-19 (n\u2009=\u200913) vaccines and cross-sectionally in individuals vaccinated with the live-attenuated measles vaccine (n\u2009=\u20098). All three vaccines elicited humoral responses. Functional assays, performed when sufficient cell numbers were available, showed that sorted influenza-specific Tfh cells (OX40+CD25+CXCR5+), cocultured with autologous CD27+CD19+ memory B cells, promoted B-cell expansion and antibody secretion. This was accompanied by increased CXCL13, IL-21, soluble CD40L, and APRIL, consistent with effective T-cell help and B-cell activation. Comparative analyses revealed distinct patterns of follicular immune responses: influenza vaccination induced coordinated Tfh and Tfr responses, whereas mRNA COVID-19 vaccination generated increased Tfh but minimal Tfr cells. At peak response, measles and influenza vaccinees exhibited comparable Tfh and Tfr frequencies, while COVID-19 vaccinees showed similar Tfh but reduced Tfr proportions. Overall, the extended AIM assay represents a practical and minimally invasive approach for simultaneous monitoring of Tfh and Tfr populations in humans, providing a scalable framework to investigate follicular immune balance across vaccination settings. Beyond enabling sensitive detection of antigen-specific memory responses, this approach highlights the importance of assessing both helper and regulatory follicular compartments to better understand vaccine-induced immunity.\n\nID: 42410167\nTitle: SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity after XBB.1.5 vaccination is not significantly altered by subsequent influenza vaccination in dialysis patients.\nAbstract: Annual immunisation against COVID-19 and seasonal influenza before the winter waves is increasingly recommended in routine practice. These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine. These findings support the use of booster vaccination in these patients and inform future deployment of additional mRNA-based vaccines.\n\nID: 42347640\nTitle: From Global Insights to Local Action: Bridging Vaccine Design and Manufacturing Gaps in H5N1 Pandemic Readiness.\nAbstract: The global expansion of highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1), particularly the clade 2.3.4.4b lineage, has renewed urgent concerns about its pandemic potential in the context of its ongoing panzootic expansion and increasing cross-species transmission. Despite decades of preparedness initiatives, critical technological and structural gaps persist, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where both vaccine access and sustainable manufacturing capacity remain limited. In this perspective, we examine key lessons from past influenza pandemics and global preparedness strategies, including the Global Action Plan for Influenza Vaccines, highlighting persistent challenges related to sustainable manufacturing capacity and equitable vaccine access. Additionally, we examine the potential of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine platforms to address these limitations, given their rapid design, scalable manufacturing, and adaptability to emerging pathogens. Moreover, we examine the role of neuraminidase (NA) as a complementary antigen capable of broadening immune protection and reducing viral transmission. Finally, we describe recent advances in Latin America, focusing on Argentina's participation in the mRNA Technology Transfer Programme co-led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), as a model for strengthening regional manufacturing capacity and contributing to global pandemic preparedness. Together, these elements indicate that effective H5N1 pandemic preparedness will require the integration of improved antigen design, flexible mRNA platforms, and sustainable regional manufacturing systems aligned with global procurement strategies.\n\nID: 42324038\nTitle: Beyond strain-specific immunity: Conserved antigenic targets, emerging platforms, and translational challenges in universal influenza and pan-coronavirus vaccine development.\nAbstract: The global burden of respiratory viral disease is shaped by two enduring threats: influenza, responsible for 290,000-650,000 annual deaths, and coronaviruses, exemplified by the catastrophic SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that caused over 7 million confirmed fatalities and profound socioeconomic disruption. Current strain-specific vaccines remain inherently reactive, incapable of anticipating antigenic drift, reassortment, or zoonotic emergence. A paradigm shift toward universal vaccines-designed to target evolutionarily conserved viral epitopes and confer durable, broad-spectrum protection across strains, subtypes, and viral genera-represents the most strategically consequential frontier in contemporary vaccinology and pandemic preparedness. This comparative narrative review provides an integrated synthesis of universal influenza vaccine (UIV) and pan-coronavirus vaccine (UCV) development, critically evaluating conserved immunological targets, advanced platform technologies, Phase I-III clinical pipeline status, and key translational barriers. By juxtaposing both developmental trajectories in a single analytical framework, we identify convergent scientific principles and divergent challenges to inform a unified pandemic preparedness strategy-an approach not previously addressed in the literature. A structured narrative review was conducted via systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov covering 2015-June 2026, supplemented by hand-searching reference lists of landmark studies. MeSH and free-text terms encompassed universal influenza vaccines, pan-coronavirus vaccines, mRNA vaccine platforms, hemagglutinin stalk, neuraminidase, M2e, receptor-binding domain (RBD), fusion peptide, S2 subunit, and broadly neutralizing antibodies. Peer-reviewed original research articles, Phase I-III clinical trial reports, and authoritative reviews were included; non-English publications and preclinical-only studies lacking translational immunogenicity data were excluded. Conserved viral epitopes-principally the hemagglutinin (HA) stalk domain, neuraminidase (NA) ectodomain, and M2e protein for influenza, and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) Class 4 epitope, fusion peptide, and S2 subunit for coronaviruses-have been validated as targets for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Multiple advanced platforms, including lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA, adenoviral vectors, computationally designed self-assembling nanoparticles (Mosaic-8 RBD-I53-50, SpFN), and structure-guided protein antigens, are progressing through early-phase clinical trials with promising cross-reactive immunogenicity profiles. Comparative analysis reveals that UIV development benefits from well-characterised bnAb epitopes and established animal challenge models, while UCV development is accelerated by unprecedented mRNA manufacturing infrastructure and genomic surveillance networks built during the COVID-19 response. Shared translational obstacles include antigenic imprinting, the absence of validated correlates of protection for cross-strain immunity, and inequitable manufacturing scalability. Cross-strain protective vaccines against influenza and coronaviruses are scientifically achievable, supported by converging immunological principles and advancing clinical evidence across both fields. Accelerating translation to population-level protection requires coordinated investment in epitope-focused antigen engineering, correlate-of-protection validation, adaptive regulatory frameworks, and equitable global manufacturing capacity. Crucially, the scientific and policy lessons of COVID-19-both the remarkable speed enabled by prior platform investments and the inequities exposed in global vaccine distribution-must be integrated into universal respiratory virus vaccine programmes now, before the next pandemic forces another reactive response.\n\nID: 42295617\nTitle: mRNA Vaccines for Influenza: Hope for a Universal Vaccine?\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza epidemics and pandemics remain a persistent public health threat. A universal influenza vaccine is urgently needed. Such a vaccine must accommodate rapid viral evolution, strain diversity-including types A and B and their many subtypes-and the complexities of human immune history and biases. Messenger RNA (mRNA)-formulated lipid-nanoparticles have evolved from an emergency pandemic vaccine experiment into a versatile vaccine platform. This technology has demonstrated potential to address several critical challenges in developing a universal influenza vaccine, including rapid strain updates, the production of high-valent formulations, and the ability to target conserved antigens that may induce broader and longer-lasting protection. This review summarizes recent studies and applications of multivalent antigen selection strategies and self-amplifying and circular RNA vaccine platforms to develop mRNA influenza vaccines to achieve vaccine universality, with an emphasis on immune responses against conserved targets. We also review the latest advances in generating long-term mucosal immunity against influenza through optimized mRNA delivery. Finally, we discuss practical considerations for correlates of protection, manufacturing, and accessibility, pioneering mRNA vaccine candidates heading to clinical trials, and milestones that define vaccine \"universality.\"\n\nID: 42282251\nTitle: Comparative analysis of expression, immunogenicity, and safety profiles between linear and circular RNA vaccine platforms.\nAbstract: mRNA vaccines have revolutionized development and continue to advance through clinical and research applications. Circular RNA is emerging as a promising alternative to linear RNA. However, no direct comparison has identified the optimal RNA platform for mRNA-based drug development. This study compares linear and circular RNA platforms in vitro and in vivo, focusing on expression dynamics, immune responses, and safety. In terms of expression efficiency, the circular RNA showed prolonged expression compared to linear RNA. The immunogenicity was evaluated using influenza HA as an antigen. In humoral immune response, linear RNA with modified nucleosides (Lin-m1\u03a8) and circular RNA with unmodified nucleosides (Circ-WT) showed higher neutralizing antibody titers than linear RNA with unmodified nucleosides (Lin-WT). Lin-m1\u03a8 and Lin-WT induced slightly higher cell-mediated immune responses than Circ-WT. In mice, all RNA types showed a decrease in reticulocytes, monocytes, and alkaline phosphatase on day 2 following high-dose intramuscular injection. Furthermore, Lin-WT and Circ-WT showed greater decreases in platelets than Lin-m1\u03a8. However, these changes recovered to normal by day 14 post-vaccination in all groups. These findings provide insights into developing RNA-based immunotherapies and selecting suitable RNA platforms for various applications, including preventive and therapeutic vaccines as well as protein-replacement therapies.\n\nID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease.\n\nID: 42235797\nTitle: Pan-pathogen vaccine approaches: Toward broad-spectrum immunity in a One Health era.\nAbstract: Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) represent an escalating threat to global public health, as exemplified by outbreaks of COVID-19, Ebola, Zika, and other zoonotic viruses. Traditional pathogen-specific vaccines, although effective for individual diseases, face significant limitations in addressing EIDs due to long development timelines, resource intensity, and restricted adaptability to novel pathogens or variants. Pan-pathogen vaccines-designed to provide broad-spectrum immunity across multiple related or unrelated pathogens-offer a transformative approach to pandemic preparedness. This review presents a comprehensive overview of pan-pathogen vaccinology within the One Health framework, emphasizing the integration of human, animal, and environmental health for proactive disease prevention. We provide explicit definitions for \"universal\", \"broad-spectrum\", and \"pan-pathogen\" vaccines and embed the One Health principle into the full vaccine development lifecycle through real-world case studies, including Nipah virus and rVSV-Ebola. The review highlights strategies for epitope discovery using comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and immunoinformatics to identify conserved antigenic regions, and details mechanisms of cross-protective immunity mediated by T cells, broadly neutralizing antibodies, mucosal responses, and trained innate immunity with emphasis on their interplay. Advanced vaccine platforms-mRNA, viral vectors, protein subunits, and nanoparticle-based systems-are evaluated for their capacity to deliver multivalent, chimeric, and mosaic antigens. Preclinical and clinical advances against influenza, coronaviruses, flaviviruses, filoviruses, and critically, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and DNA virus targets are summarized. Ethical, regulatory, and global health considerations for equitable vaccine distribution are discussed, with expanded safety analysis addressing pan-pathogen-specific hazards such as antigenic competition, autoimmunity, and regulatory adaptation. Persistent gaps, including antigenic variability, immune imprinting, safety concerns, and challenges in clinical validation, are identified, alongside controversies surrounding the balance between broad coverage and potential immune escape. Integrating genomic surveillance, predictive modeling, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, systems biology, and synthetic vaccinology is essential to optimize vaccine design and accelerate translational implementation. Collectively, pan-pathogen vaccines represent a proactive, adaptive, and globally coordinated strategy to mitigate future pandemics and strengthen long-term health security.\n\nID: 42230492\nTitle: Effect of Modified Nucleotides on the Immunogenicity of the H1N1 Influenza mRNA Vaccine.\nAbstract: We analyzed the effect of modified nucleotides on the immunogenicity of mRNA vaccine encoding hemagglutinin of the influenza A/California/04/09(H1N1) pdm09 virus. Seven mRNA-H1 variants including the following modified bases in different ratios were obtained: N1-methylpseudouridine (m1\u03a8), pseudouridine (\u03a8), N6-methyladenine (m6A), and 5-methylcytidine (m5C). The efficacy of the resulting mRNA vaccines was assessed by their ability to induce specific antibodies and T-cell response in immunized mice. Virus-neutralizing activity was recorded in groups of animals immunized with mRNAs containing 100% m1\u03a8, 100% \u03a8, and 100% U. It was shown that mRNAs including 100% m1\u03a8 or 100% \u03a8 were more effective than other mRNA variants and induced potent B- and T-cell immune response.\n\nID: 42223036\nTitle: Risk Factors for COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine-Associated Exacerbations in Patients With Obstructive Airway Diseases: REsearch for Asthma and COPD ExacerbaTION Caused by COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination (REACTION Study).\nAbstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines have reduced the severity and mortality of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. However, several reports of asthma exacerbations following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination have raised safety concerns for patients with obstructive airway diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of mRNA vaccine-associated exacerbations and identify associated clinical factors among patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This multicenter historical cohort study enrolled 455 patients (387 with asthma, including 30 with COPD overlap and 68 with COPD) from 13 Japanese institutions between September 2022 and September 2024. Demographic data, pulmonary function, biomarkers, and questionnaire responses were collected. Exacerbation was defined as worsening of respiratory symptoms occurring within 1 week after vaccination. Independent risk factors were identified by multivariate logistic regression. Patients with asthma had a higher COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated exacerbation rate than those with COPD (14.5% vs. 0%, P < 0.001). Among patients with asthma, exacerbations were more frequent after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination than after influenza vaccination (14.5% vs. 1.8%, P < 0.001). Younger age, atopic predisposition, lower fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels (< 25 ppb), and poor asthma control (asthma control test < 20 and/or frequent exacerbations \u2265 2/year) were identified as independent risk factors (all P < 0.05). Most exacerbations were mild, with no severe outcomes. Poorly controlled atopic asthma in younger individuals was associated with increased risk of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated exacerbation. Despite this, the overall benefits of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination support its continued use, with an emphasis on optimizing asthma control beforehand in high-risk patients.

Despite this update, the vaccine trended toward being less effective against the vaccine-matched H1N1 clade than the parental H1N1 clade lacking the new antigenic mutations. Here, we measure neutralization titers of serum antibodies from individuals who had received either a recombinant protein or an egg-derived vaccine against a set of viruses with hemagglutinins from 58 H1N1 strains representative of the diversity during the 2023/2024 season. We find that egg-derived vaccine recipients, but not recombinant protein vaccine recipients, had a relatively lower boost in neutralizing titers to the new clade that the updated vaccine was designed to target. We suggest that the difference in the extent that the egg-derived vs recombinant protein vaccines boosted neutralizing titers to the new H1N1 clade is because the seed strain for the egg-derived vaccine strain had acquired a reversion of a key antigenic mutation (K142R) present in that clade. Our results show how egg-derived vs recombinant protein vaccines can elicit different relative titer boosts against different subsets of viral strains, a phenomenon that could impact vaccine effectiveness. Influenza vaccines can be produced from virus grown in eggs or grown in cells or made with recombinant protein. Egg-derived influenza vaccines often contain egg-adaptive mutations in the viral antigen hemagglutinin (HA) which can impact the antigenicity or immunogenicity of the HA. In this study, we compare neutralization titers from egg-derived and recombinant protein vaccine recipients against recently circulating influenza A(H1N1) strains. We find that the egg-derived vaccine induces less of a boost in titers than the recombinant protein vaccine to the new clade of viral strains that the vaccine was designed to target.\n\nID: 42196525\nTitle: Algorithm-Optimized H5 Influenza mRNA Vaccine Induces Broad Immune Responses.\nAbstract: The high case fatality rate, cross-species transmission, and ongoing evolution of H5 avian influenza viruses pose an imminent threat of an influenza pandemic, particularly with the currently predominant clade 2.3.4.4b lineage. Existing seasonal influenza vaccines and licensed H5 vaccines provide limited cross-protection against H5 viruses, underscoring an urgent need for the development of broadly protective H5 vaccines. In this study, we analyzed all human-infected H5 hemagglutinin (HA) sequences using bioinformatics approaches and subsequently designed a novel H5 influenza vaccine through algorithm optimization. The predicted structure of this vaccine closely resembles that of the wild-type H5 HA trimer. In animal studies, the algorithm-optimized H5 mRNA vaccine not only induced high levels of neutralizing antibodies against multiple clade 2.3.4.4b H5 viruses but also elicited cross-neutralizing antibodies against clade 2.3.4.4 and clade 2.2.1 H5 viruses, as well as robust cellular immune responses. These findings highlight the potential of algorithm-based approaches in developing broadly protective vaccines against pandemic viruses and suggest that this vaccine candidate could serve as a strategic stockpile for preventing H5 influenza pandemics.\n\nID: 42188810\nTitle: Bacterial Membrane Vesicles as Versatile Platforms for Systemic and Mucosal Vaccines.\nAbstract: Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs), encompassing outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released from Gram-negative bacteria and extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from Gram-positive bacteria, have emerged as promising vaccine platforms owing to their intrinsic immunostimulatory properties and capacity to deliver a wide range of antigens. Although conventional vaccines effectively prevent infectious diseases, their long-term efficacy is often limited by antigenic variation and reliance on a restricted number of licensed adjuvants. BMVs, as self-adjuvanting systems, enable both antigen delivery and innate immune activation. BMVs are nanoscale lipid bilayer structures enriched with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), facilitating their recognition and uptake by antigen-presenting cells. This leads to the activation of pattern recognition receptors and the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, type I interferons, and adaptive immune responses, including antibody production and Th1- and Th17-biased cellular immunity. Recent studies highlight the versatility of BMVs as vaccine platforms across bacterial, fungal, and viral infection models. BMVs induce protective immunity by promoting both systemic and mucosal immune responses, thereby reducing bacterial burden and limiting pathogen colonization across diverse infection models. These properties have supported their application in viral vaccine development, including influenza and SARS-CoV-2, with the potential to enhance mucosal immunity. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in standardization, safety, and antigen-loading efficiency. Engineered BMVs incorporating protein or mRNA antigens may further enhance antigen presentation and CD8+ T cell responses. This review summarizes the biological features, immunological mechanisms, and future potential of BMVs in vaccine development.\n\nID: 42188781\nTitle: Modern Strategies for Brucellosis Vaccination: From Traditional Approaches to Innovative Platforms.\nAbstract: Brucellosis remains one of the most widespread zoonotic infections worldwide, causing serious veterinary, medical, and socio-economic consequences. The disease, caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, affects a wide range of domestic and wild animals as well as humans, with global incidence potentially reaching 1.6-2.1 million new cases annually. The most effective approach to combating brucellosis is specific prevention through vaccination. Therefore, we conducted this review to summarize data from existing studies on modern strategies for brucellosis vaccination, types of vaccine platforms, their efficacy, safety, and applicability in veterinary and human medicine. We searched databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant scientific articles in English published from 1990 to 2025. The aim of this work is to conduct a systematic analysis of modern brucellosis vaccination strategies in livestock and humans, as well as to evaluate the prospects of new vaccine platforms. The review examines live attenuated, inactivated, subunit, vector, and DNA vaccines, as well as their immunological mechanisms of action, advantages, and limitations of application. This information allows for a better understanding of the mechanisms of protective immunity formation and challenges related to DIVA diagnostics (Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals). The \"One Health\" concept demonstrated the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental factors, emphasizing the need for an interdisciplinary approach to brucellosis monitoring, prevention, and control. Vector vaccines based on influenza virus (Flu-BA), developed in Kazakhstan, have shown high promise, combining immunogenicity, protective efficacy, and a favorable safety profile. Promising directions remain mRNA vaccines, nanoparticles, CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, and mucosal vaccines.\n\nID: 42184011\nTitle: T-cell-mediated immunity to influenza A (H2N3): implications for caccine efficacy and cross-subtype protection.\nAbstract: Influenza A viruses pose a significant pandemic threat, with H2N3 in particular representing a subtype of particular concern due to limited population immunity and potential for zoonotic transmission. Traditional antibody-centric vaccine strategies face fundamental limitations stemming from antigenic drift and shift in hemagglutinin and neuraminidase surface proteins, necessitating annual reformulation and demonstrating reduced efficacy against mismatched strains. T-cell-mediated immunity offers a complementary approach by targeting highly conserved internal viral proteins such as nucleoprotein and matrix protein 1, thereby enabling cross-subtype protection independent of surface antigen variability. This review systematically examines the role of CD8\u2009+\u2009cytotoxic T lymphocytes, CD4\u2009+\u2009helper T cells, and tissue-resident memory T cells in controlling H2N3 influenza infection, with particular emphasis on mechanisms underlying heterosubtypic immunity. Evidence from preclinical models and human cohort studies demonstrates that pre-existing T-cell responses correlate with reduced disease severity across antigenically diverse influenza strains, even in the absence of strain-specific neutralizing antibodies. Recent advances in vaccine platforms-including viral vectors, mRNA technologies, and epitope-based approaches-show promise for inducing robust T-cell responses targeting conserved epitopes. Systems immunology and artificial intelligence-assisted epitope prediction are revolutionizing vaccine design by identifying pan-HLA-restricted epitopes with broad population coverage. However, significant challenges persist, including HLA diversity, immune senescence, absence of validated correlates of protection, and regulatory uncertainties. Collectively, this review demonstrates that integration of humoral and cellular immunity through combination vaccine strategies is essential for advancing universal influenza vaccines capable of providing durable, cross-protective immunity against both seasonal and pandemic strains, including re-emerging H2-like viruses.\n\nID: 42173827\nTitle: SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination elicit distinct pharyngeal mucosal B cell responses in children.\nAbstract: Mucosal immunity is an important correlate of protection against respiratory infections such as SARS-CoV-2. Comparing B cell responses to vaccines and infection at relevant mucosal sites may provide unique and important insights into tissue immunity. Here, we characterize antigen-specific B cells in the tonsils, adenoids, and peripheral blood of children who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or vaccinated with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. SARS-CoV-2-specific switched memory B cells (BSM) are found in the pharyngeal lymphoid tissues and blood after vaccination or infection. However, infection generates a higher proportion of IgA+ BSM and CXCR3+CD21+ BSM. CXCR3+CD21+ BSM show distinct spatial localization, greater clonal expansion and increased propensity for plasma cell differentiation compared to their CXCR3- counterparts, accompanied by persistent activation of innate and T follicular helper cells in the tissues. Our data provide evidence for tissue-specific B cell memory after either SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or infection, but with distinct characteristics that can influence the quality, durability, and localization of immunity.\n\nID: 42115617\nTitle: Cross-reactive human antibody responses to H5N1 influenza virus neuraminidase are shaped by immune history.\nAbstract: H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses have spread globally and pose a pandemic risk. Prior studies suggest that early life exposures to group 1 influenza viruses (H1N1 and H2N2) prime antibodies that cross-react to the hemagglutinin of H5N1, which is also a group 1 virus. However, less is known about how immune history affects antibody responses against the H5N1 neuraminidase (NA). We measured NA inhibition antibodies against multiple H5N1 viruses using sera from 155 individuals born between 1927 and 2016. Individuals likely primed in childhood with H1N1 viruses possessed higher levels of antibodies that cross-react with the NA of H5N1 viruses compared to those primed with H2N2 or H3N2 viruses. While young children rarely possessed cross-reactive N1 antibodies, childhood infections with contemporary H1N1, but not H3N2, viruses elicited them. We also measured antibodies against an H5N5 virus (A6 genotype) that recently caused a fatal infection in the United States. Consistent with the lack of circulation of N5 viruses in humans, we found low levels of antibodies against the N5 NA. Our data suggest that immune history greatly impacts the generation of cross-reactive NA antibodies, and that reassortment with other NAs may increase the risk of H5 infection of humans.\n\nID: 42090792\nTitle: Efficacy and Safety of an mRNA Seasonal Influenza Vaccine in Adults.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes substantial illness and death in adults 50 years of age or older, even with current vaccines. An investigational messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccine called mRNA-1010 encodes hemagglutinin glycoproteins from World Health Organization-recommended influenza strains. In this phase 3, double-blind, active-controlled trial, we randomly assigned adults 50 years of age or older to receive trivalent mRNA-1010 (37.5 \u03bcg, which includes 12.5 \u03bcg of each strain) or a licensed standard-dose comparator. The primary efficacy end point was relative vaccine efficacy against reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness caused by influenza A or B, from at least 14 days after vaccination through the end of the influenza season. Hypothesis testing was conducted hierarchically to assess noninferiority (lower boundary of the 95% confidence interval [CI], >-10%), superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >0%), and a higher level of superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >9.1%). A total of 40,703 participants received mRNA-1010 (20,350 participants) or the standard-dose comparator (20,353 participants); the median follow-up was 181 days (range, 1 to 227). RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness was observed in 411 of 20,179 recipients of mRNA-1010 (2.0%) and 557 of 20,124 recipients of the standard-dose comparator (2.8%), which corresponds to a relative vaccine efficacy of 26.6% (95% CI, 16.7 to 35.4), thereby meeting the criteria for noninferiority, superiority, and higher-level superiority. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010 than with the standard-dose comparator (injection-site pain in 65.8% vs. 29.8%, fatigue in 45.1% vs. 20.3%, headache in 37.8% vs. 18.0%, and myalgia in 35.4% vs. 11.6%); most reactions were mild to moderate and transient. Serious adverse events were reported in 2.2% of the recipients of mRNA-1010 (with three events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related) and in 1.9% of the recipients of the standard-dose comparator (with two events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related). In this trial, mRNA-1010 was superior to standard-dose licensed vaccines for prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness in adults 50 years of age or older. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010.

We performed air, farm wastewater, and milk sampling on 14 H5N1-positive dairy farms across two different California regions. Infectious virus was detected in the air in milking parlors and in wastewater streams, while viral RNA was found in exhaled breath of cows. Sequence analysis of infectious H5N1 virus from air and wastewater samples on one farm revealed viral variants relevant for potential human susceptibility. Longitudinal analysis of milk from the individual quarters of cows revealed a high prevalence of subclinical H5N1-positive cows. Additionally, a heterogeneous distribution of infected quarters that maintained a consistent pattern over time was observed, inconsistent with shared milking equipment serving as the sole transmission mode. The presence of subclinically infected cows was further supported by detection of antibodies in the milk of animals that exhibited no clinical signs during the H5N1 outbreak on one farm. Our data highlight additional sources and potential modes of H5N1 transmission on dairy farms.\n\nID: 42083745\nTitle: Novel vaccine platforms for respiratory viruses: a review of licensed vaccines and candidates in late-stage development.\nAbstract: Respiratory infections with influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 are a major cause of global mortality. Vaccination is a cornerstone of disease prevention, though traditional platforms face challenges. Recently, several vaccines utilizing mRNA and adenovirus platforms were brought to the market, with additional vaccines undergoing Phase 3 clinical testing. This review assesses vaccine literature primarily from 2020 to the present, using National Library of Medicine databases. The rapidity of mRNA technology was tested and implemented successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the mRNA RSV vaccine has been licensed as well. mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens. Several combination products have been used in phase III clinical trials. Adenovirus-vectored vaccines for respiratory viruses have the added advantage of mucosal-based delivery and inducing a potentially stronger local immune response. However, both of these platforms have immunogenicity and safety shortcomings. Novel respiratory virus vaccine platforms have demonstrated their importance with both endemic and pandemic pathogens, because of decades of concerted efforts and investment in research. Expediting future vaccine development requires a continuation of these efforts with a focus on pre-clinical models and a better understanding of correlates of protection.\n\nID: 42081324\nTitle: Enhanced immunogenicity and dose-sparing efficacy of self-amplifying RNA vaccines against seasonal influenza across subtypes.\nAbstract: Recent clinical data on seasonal influenza mRNA vaccines have demonstrated suboptimal efficacy against the influenza B virus (IBV). We employed sequence optimization strategies that successfully enhanced the antigen expression of hemagglutinin (HA) and developed mRNA vaccine candidates targeting the WHO-recommended strains. When administered at a low dose (0.1 \u03bcg), both mono-and trivalent influenza A mRNA vaccines induced robust humoral immunity and conferred complete protection against homologous viral challenge in murine models, outperforming the quadrivalent inactivated vaccine (QIV, 2 \u03bcg). In contrast, IBV mRNA vaccines at an equivalent dose failed to elicit detectable antibodies and offered no protection, consistent with prior evidence of suboptimal immunogenicity in human trials. These findings highlight strain-specific immunogenicity constraints inherent to conventional mRNA platforms. To overcome these limitations, we systematically compared three distinct RNA vaccine modalities: (1) nucleoside-modified mRNA, (2) self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), and (3) circular RNA (circRNA). Notably, a single 0.1\u2005\u00b5g dose of the trivalent saRNA vaccine elicited robust humoral immunity and provided complete protection against IBV challenge, whereas mRNA vaccination achieved only 14% survival. Importantly, long-term antibody monitoring over 20 weeks showed that saRNA at the low 0.1 \u03bcg dose maintained high antibody levels, with a markedly more durable response to IBV antigens than those of other platforms. Moreover, the trivalent mRNA vaccine exhibited a favourable safety profile, with no obvious abnormal body weight changes or serum biochemical abnormalities observed after immunization. Our findings advocate for strain-adaptive platform selection: conventional mRNA for generating rapid, high-magnitude responses against influenza A and next-generation saRNA vaccines for enhanced dose efficiency, particularly against IBV.\n\nID: 42076068\nTitle: Advancing Needle-Free Jet Injectors for Global Vaccine Delivery.\nAbstract: Background: Global immunization programs continue to rely on needle-based injections despite persistent concerns regarding sharps disposal, accidental injuries, and the technical skill required for accurate intradermal administration. Needle-free jet injectors (NFJIs) are an alternative delivery method in which narrow, high-velocity liquid jets penetrate the skin without a needle. Contemporary designs, ranging from single-use disposable-syringe injectors to digitally controlled electromechanical devices, address historical safety issues and meet current WHO and FDA device expectations. Methods: Evidence from engineering analyses, preclinical modeling, and clinical trials was reviewed to characterize how jet velocity, nozzle structure, and formulation rheology influence skin penetration and drug dispersion. Published vaccine studies were examined for antibody responses, seroconversion, and reactogenicity compared with needle-syringe injection. Field vaccination campaign data from national campaigns and operational reports were evaluated to describe implementation steps, acceptability, and implementation constraints. Results: Published studies evaluating vaccines, including inactivated influenza, hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies, and measles, report antibody titers and seroconversion rates after NFJI administration that are comparable to those achieved with conventional intramuscular or intradermal needle injection. Needle-free delivery was associated with operational advantages in several immunization programs, including reduced sharps waste and improved vaccination rate during high-volume immunization campaigns. Local and systemic reactogenicity follows expected patterns, with slightly higher injection-site responses in some NFJI studies. Imaging and mechanical data confirm that jet performance depends on nozzle geometry and controlled pressure pulses. At the same time, formulation stability remains a critical determinant of successful jet-based vaccine administration, particularly for protein antigens, adjuvanted formulations, and emerging mRNA vaccines that may experience transient shear stress during high-velocity injection. Evidence from vaccination campaigns further indicates that needle-free jet injectors reduce sharps waste, simplify vaccine handling and administration procedures, and support rapid vaccine delivery in large-scale immunization programs. Conclusions: Needle-free jet injectors are a practical alternative to traditional needle-based injections for some vaccines. Their main benefits include enabling intradermal dose-sparing strategies, reducing reliance on sharps disposal methods, and enabling the efficient vaccination of large groups without compromising immunogenicity. Future research should define the physicochemical stability limits of biologic formulations subjected to jet injection and evaluate digitally controlled injectors capable of precise pressure modulation and adjustable delivery parameters. In addition, needle-free jet injection eliminates needle penetration and sharps handling, which may reduce needle-associated anxiety and improve vaccine acceptability among individuals with needle aversion.\n\nID: 42049037\nTitle: Childhood immunological imprinting of cross-subtype antibodies targeting the hemagglutinin head domain of influenza viruses.\nAbstract: Influenza virus cross-subtype antibodies targeting epitopes in the hemagglutinin (HA) head are rare because these epitopes are variable between influenza virus subtypes. We found that a large proportion of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) isolated from individuals immunized with the 2021-22 seasonal influenza vaccine bound to an epitope on the HA head of both the H1N1 vaccine strain and H3N2 strains from the mid-1990s. The unmutated common ancestors of many of these mAbs reacted to both the 1990s H3s and the 2021-22 H1 vaccine strain. These cross-subtype antibodies were also found in polyclonal sera, but only among individuals born in the 1990s. Ferrets sequentially exposed to a 1990s H3N2 virus and contemporary influenza vaccine also produced H1/H3 cross-reactive antibodies. Recently, H1N1 viruses have acquired a substitution that abrogates the binding of these antibodies. Together, our study demonstrates how prior influenza virus exposures can influence the specificity of antibodies elicited by entirely different influenza virus subtypes.\n\nID: 42048601\nTitle: Coadministration of mRNA-1345 RSV vaccine with high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in adults aged 65 and older: An observer-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase 3 trial.\nAbstract: Coadministration of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and seasonal influenza vaccines can increase vaccination uptake. mRNA-1345 (mRESVIA, Moderna, Inc.) is indicated in multiple countries for prevention of RSV-lower respiratory tract disease in adults. This randomized, observer-blind, phase 3 study evaluated safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and inferred efficacy of mRNA-1345 when coadministered with quadrivalent influenza vaccine-high dose (QIV-HD). Adults\u2009\u226565\u2009y (n\u2009=\u20091900) were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive both vaccines coadministered at day 1 or sequentially, 21\u2009d apart. Noninferiority of six co-primary immunogenicity endpoints was assessed up to 21\u2009d post vaccination, comparing coadministered versus sequential vaccination. Immunogenicity was measured by serum-neutralizing antibody responses and seroresponse rates for RSV or seroconversion rate for influenza. Reactogenicity was mild/moderate and there were no safety concerns, related serious adverse events, or deaths. Noninferiority of immune responses against influenza A (H1N1, H3N2) and B (Austria, Phuket) was demonstrated, with geometric mean ratios (GMRs; coadministration vs sequential vaccination) of anti-hemagglutinin titers ranging from 0.868-0.948. All lower bounds of the corresponding 95% CI were\u2009>0.667, consistent with the commonly accepted noninferiority margin of 1.5 (i.e. 0.667\u2009=\u20091/1.5). Noninferiority against RSV-A and RSV-B based on GMR was not demonstrated; GMRs (95% CI) of neutralizing antibody were 0.625 (0.570-0.686) and 0.638 (0.584-0.697) for RSV-A and RSV-B, respectively, with the lower bound of 95% CI\u2009<\u20090.667 for RSV-A and B. Coadminstration is estimated to maintain the efficacy of mRNA-1345 against RSV-lower respiratory tract disease based on a correlate of protection model. These results support coadministration of mRNA-1345 with QIV-HD.Clinical trials registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06060457.\n\nID: 42561218\nTitle: Temporal trend of influenza vaccination coverage among older adults in Brazil.\nAbstract: This study aimed to assess influenza vaccination coverage among older adults and its temporal trends in Brazil, its regions, and federative units from 2000 to 2019. This ecological time series study utilized data from the National Immunization Program Information System (SI-PNI). The sample comprised vaccine doses administered and the target population each study year, stratified by territorial unit. Vaccination coverage was calculated as the proportion of the target population effectively vaccinated, and temporal trends were assessed using the Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression model. Significant fluctuation in vaccination coverage was observed in Brazil, with the lowest coverage recorded in 2000 (72.53%) and the highest in 2018 (97.16%). Amap\u00e1 presented the highest average vaccination coverage over the period (95.51%), while S\u00e3o Paulo had the lowest (79.71%). Santa Catarina and S\u00e3o Paulo stood out for their highest annual variation in vaccination coverage, and increasing vaccination coverage trends were noted in 15 federative units of the country. In summary, influenza vaccination coverage among older adults showed fluctuations over 20 years, with a growing trend towards vaccination adherence in most federative units.\n\nID: 42560331\nTitle: Expanding the role of pharmacists as vaccinators in New Zealand: a retrospective analysis of influenza vaccination trends following policy change.\nAbstract: Pharmacy-based influenza vaccination became part of New Zealand's public vaccination programme in 2017, eliminating out-of-pocket costs to consumers. This study evaluated trends in pharmacy-based influenza vaccination among adults aged \u226565 in New Zealand following the 2017 funding policy change, with the aim of examining whether the availability of government-funded influenza vaccination increased pharmacy-based vaccination in this population. Data on influenza vaccinations administered between 2015 and 2021 to adults \u226565 were provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Health from the National Immunisation Register. Descriptive analyses were employed to assess the absolute number and percentage of vaccinations given by each provider type from 2015 through 2021 to document trends after the public funding policy change and in the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of influenza vaccinations administered increased from 322\u2009161 in 2015 to 525\u2009769 in 2021. After public funding for influenza vaccination began in pharmacies, annual physician- and nurse-administered vaccinations ranged from 401\u2009840 to 426\u2009005 and 12\u2009590 to 19\u2009586, respectively, between 2018 and 2021, while pharmacist-administered vaccinations steadily increased from 16\u2009042 to 96\u2009343. The percentage of influenza vaccinations administered by pharmacists grew from nearly 0% in 2015 to 3.7% in 2018 and 18.3% in 2021. Research findings suggest that public funding for pharmacist-administered influenza vaccinations contributed to expanding overall influenza vaccine access in New Zealand among adults \u226565. In addition, the increase in pharmacist-delivered vaccinations did not negatively impact vaccinations administered by traditional providers, further demonstrating the value and growing role of pharmacies in advancing national immunization efforts.\n\nID: 42560073\nTitle: Neutralizing and protective monoclonal antibodies identify antigenic sites in influenza H7 hemagglutinin and select for amino acid substitutions rarely observed at the global level.\nAbstract: Avian influenza viruses of the H7 subtype infect a variety of avian as well as mammalian species, and a better understanding of H7 virus antigenicity and immunogenicity is vital to the development of effective countermeasures for a potential H7 pandemic threat. We have developed a diverse panel of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the H7 hemagglutinin (HA) and characterized these mAbs for the HA epitope(s) that they bind, their neutralizing activity in vitro against several strains of H7, and their ability to provide protection against virus challenge in vivo. The majority of the isolated mAbs recognized antigenic sites A and B on the globular head of the influenza HA, but mAbs were also isolated to non-canonical sites on HA. Escape viruses generated against the mAbs were used to further define the antigenic sites on the H7 HA, and notably, we find that most amino acid substitutions identified in these escape viruses are rare at the global level. Finally, we used a polyclonal antibody generated by virus infection to assess whether antibody binding and neutralization were impacted by individual amino acid substitutions in the HA of escape viruses generated by the mAbs. The results showed that all of the escape viruses, each of which carried a single amino acid substitution, were still effectively neutralized by polyclonal antibodies, suggesting that the antibody response to H7 infection was broad and redundant.IMPORTANCEInfluenza H7 viruses infect a variety of avian and mammalian species, and present a potential threat to human health. We used a panel of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to facilitate the identification of important protective epitopes on the H7 hemagglutinin (HA). While most of the antibodies bind to antigenic sites A and B on the H7 HA that correspond to well-characterized cognate sites on influenza H3, some antibodies appear to recognize new epitopes in HA distinct from those known antigenic sites. We also identified amino acid substitutions in escape viruses selected by these mAbs and evaluated their impact in the context of polyclonal responses and natural H7 virus evolution over a >60-year period. Taken together, the results add to our understanding of influenza H7 virus antigenicity and immunogenicity, and may have positive implications for successful H7 vaccine development.\n\nID: 42560041\nTitle: Detection and characterization of antiviral-resistant viruses during the influenza season of 2024-25.\nAbstract: During the high severity season of 2024-25, CDC with public health partners sequenced and analyzed genomes of >10,000 influenza viruses for antiviral resistance markers. Available sequence-flagged and representative viruses were tested with antivirals using in vitro assays. In the US, three oseltamivir-resistant A(H3N2) viruses had treatment-emergent neuraminidase (NA) mutations, either E119V or R292K. Oseltamivir-resistant A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses with NA-H275Y were detected in 15 states, albeit at a low frequency (0.53%). They belonged to several phylogenetic groups, with hemagglutinin (HA) subclade D.3.1 combined with either NA subclade D.1 or D.2 being most common. Based on shared sequence data, nearly all H275Y viruses from Australia, Canada, and Chile also belonged to these HA and NA subclades. Conversely, most H275Y viruses (68/81) from China belonged to HA subclade C.1.9 and NA subclade D and shared the permissive mutation R257K. Influenza polymerase acidic (PA) mutations conferring 4- to 92-fold decreased baloxavir susceptibility were detected in nine influenza A viruses. Viruses with PA-I38T showed mild attenuation of replicative fitness in three cell lines. Based on available data, NA-H275Y and PA-I38T viruses were collected from patients with no exposure to antivirals. Baseline susceptibility to all US-approved influenza antivirals remained largely unchanged compared to previous seasons. All swine-origin viruses detected in the US had adamantane resistance-conferring marker, M2-S31N, but remained susceptible to other approved antivirals. Monitoring antiviral susceptibility has substantially improved with increased sequencing capacities and bioinformatic support at public health laboratories. Information gained through influenza surveillance has been used to guide recommendations on antiviral use. Circulation of influenza viruses with reduced susceptibility to antivirals can diminish the usefulness of medications prescribed for influenza. This study informs on the prevalence of drug-resistant influenza viruses in the US during the high severity season of 2024-25. It provides information on susceptibility profile to all approved antiviral medications and on replicative fitness of representative drug-resistant viruses. Most drug-resistant viruses were collected from patients who were not exposed to antivirals indicating their ability to transmit from human to human. Whole-genome sequence (WGS)-based analysis is the cornerstone for surveillance, and numerous laboratories have been utilizing this approach. However, CDC laboratory is the only laboratory in the US conducting phenotypic testing of circulating viruses needed to confirm the outcomes of sequence-based analysis and to identify new molecular markers of resistance. Data gathered through virologic surveillance give much-needed information on drug susceptibility of influenza viruses which are used to guide recommendations on antiviral use.\n\nID: 42560010\nTitle: Effectiveness of Influenza Vaccines and Duration of Protection Against Hospitalisation During the 2024/25 Season in Northern Ireland, UK.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes substantial morbidity and hospitalisation each year. We estimated influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) against laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalisation among patients in Northern Ireland (NI) during the 2024/25 influenza season. We used a test-negative design to estimate VE against hospitalisation. Influenza-positive cases and test-negative controls were identified through the national laboratory surveillance system and linked to hospital admission and vaccination records. VE was estimated by influenza type/subtype, age group, sex, vaccine type and time since vaccination. Among 15,133 hospitalised patients, 2024 (13.4%) tested positive for influenza. Among the 2024 patients admitted with laboratory-confirmed influenza, the vast majority tested positive for influenza A (n\u2009=\u20091803; 89.1%), whereas 221 cases (10.9%) were influenza B. Subtyping of influenza A identified 606 A(H1) infections and 93 A(H3) infections; the remaining 1104 influenza A samples were not subtyped. VE against laboratory-confirmed influenza infection was 46.0% (95% CI: 39.7% to 51.8%), with higher VE in children aged 2-17\u2009years (60.8%; 95% CI: 48.3% to 70.5%) than in adults aged 18-64\u2009years (40.5%; 95% CI: 24.9% to 53.2%) and \u2265\u200965\u2009years (42.3%; 95% CI: 33.2% to 50.1%). VE against influenza A across all ages was 41.4% (95% CI: 34.2% to 47.9%). Vaccination reduced the odds of hospitalisation due to influenza A(H1) by 44.3% (95% CI: 33.2% to 53.7%) and A(H3) by 49.9% (95% CI: 20.3% to 69.3%). VE against influenza B was higher at 76.4% (95% CI: 64.9% to 84.7%). For influenza A, VE was highest 2-8\u2009weeks after vaccination at 51.9% (95% CI: 42.1% to 60.1%) and declined with time since vaccination to 44.6% (95% CI: 35.6% to 52.5%) at 9-16\u2009weeks and 41.4% (95% CI: 15.4% to 60.1%) at \u2265\u200916\u2009weeks. VE against influenza B remained high throughout the season. No statistically significant differences in VE by vaccine type were found. Influenza vaccination reduced the risk of hospitalisation with laboratory-confirmed influenza during the 2024/25 season, offering meaningful protection at individual and population levels, with the greatest benefit observed in children.\n\nID: 42559394\nTitle: Fulminant lupus myopericarditis with Class III lupus nephritis and catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome-like thrombosis: a case report.\nAbstract: Lupus myocarditis occurs in 1%-3% of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) cases and rarely coexists with proliferative nephritis at presentation. We describe simultaneous lupus myopericarditis, Class III nephritis, myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) positivity, and a catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS)-like thrombotic syndrome, highlighting the vulnerability of survivors after fulminant SLE. A previously healthy 29-year-old man presented with hypertensive pulmonary oedema, acute hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring intubation, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 36%, and dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury. Work-up showed antinuclear antibody positivity, high-titre anti-dsDNA antibodies, hypocomplementaemia, and triple-positive antiphospholipid antibodies. High-dose corticosteroids and immunosuppression were initiated, and rituximab was selected as adjunctive B-cell-depleting therapy in the setting of severe cardiac and renal SLE, with MPO-ANCA positivity raising concern for a higher-risk renal phenotype. Kidney biopsy confirmed Class III proliferative lupus nephritis, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) supported myopericarditis. Cerebral and splenic infarctions prompted anticoagulation, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and plasma exchange. The course was complicated by cytomegalovirus peritonitis requiring hemicolectomy. After discharge, he was readmitted with influenza A-associated septic and cardiogenic shock, LVEF 17%, recurrent multifocal cerebral infarctions, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, and invasive aspergillosis. Treatment required plasma exchange, IVIG, tracheostomy, and continuous renal replacement therapy. He survived to rehabilitation after 123 cumulative hospital days. This case illustrates convergent life-threatening autoimmune, thrombotic, and infectious complications in SLE. Cardiac MRI and kidney biopsy were essential for diagnosis. Infection-associated recurrent CAPS-like thrombosis during multi-organ failure underscores the need for infection prevention and close surveillance after fulminant lupus.\n\nID: 42559153\nTitle: Early Diagnosis and Successful Treatment of Influenza Coinfection With Community-Onset Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Necrotizing Pneumonia: A Case Report.\nAbstract: Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe and potentially fatal complication of community-acquired pneumonia, often associated with toxin-producing or drug-resistant pathogens. Rapid and accurate identification of these pathogens is crucial for timely intervention. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic tools, such as the BioFire FilmArray pneumonia panel, have significantly improved early pathogen detection, aiding in prompt and targeted treatment as in the presenting case. We report a case of necrotizing pneumonia in a female adult who presented with severe respiratory distress. Initial testing identified coinfection with influenza and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using the BioFire FilmArray pneumonia panel, which provided rapid and precise pathogen detection before admission. The patient developed worsening respiratory failure, requiring mechanical ventilation and intensive care. Despite the severity of the infection, early diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy tailored to the identified pathogens led to a significant clinical improvement, allowing for a favorable recovery. This case highlights the critical role of rapid molecular diagnostics in the early detection of coinfections in necrotizing pneumonia. The timely identification of influenza and MRSA facilitated targeted antimicrobial therapy, which was instrumental in preventing further complications and improving the patient's prognosis. As PCR-based diagnostics become more widely available, their integration into routine clinical practice can enhance the management of severe pneumonia cases, ultimately leading to better outcomes. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for coinfections in severe pneumonia and leverage rapid diagnostic tools to guide early and effective treatment strategies.\n\nID: 42558446\nTitle: Epidemiological characteristics analysis of childhood influenza A virus infections in Hebei, China (2020-2024).\nAbstract: To analyze the epidemiological and infection characteristics of childhood influenza A virus infections in Hebei, China, from 2020 to 2024, and to provide a basis for influenza prevention and control among children. A retrospective analysis was conducted on epidemiological and clinical data of children with influenza A virus infection who were hospitalized in Hebei Province from January 2020 to December 2024. Clinical specimens were analyzed using nucleic acid extraction reagents with automatic extraction on the Smart LabAssist-32 nucleic acid extractor. A 13-pathogen multiplex PCR detection kit combined with the GeXP multiplex gene expression analysis system was used for testing. A total of 298,810 specimens from children with upper and lower respiratory tract infections were collected. Among which 60,928 specimens were positive for influenza A virus (detection rate: 20.39%). The infection rate was highest in 2024 (23.03%) and lowest in 2020 (13.57%). The annual positive detection rates of influenza A virus in Hebei from 2020 to 2024 were 13.57%, 16.97%, 19.95%, 20.41%, and 23.03%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P\u2009<\u20090.05). The positive detection rate was significantly correlated with seasons, peaking in winter (29.04%) and reaching the lowest in spring and summer (5.4%). Mixed infections were detected in 16,049 specimens (26.34%), mainly involving rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP). Pediatric influenza A virus infections in Hebei Province exhibit a clustered age distribution, pronounced seasonal variation, and a high co-infection rate. Enhanced surveillance and protective measures should be targeted toward children aged 1-5 years and prioritized during the winter season. This study provides important scientific evidence for optimizing influenza prevention and control strategies, clinical diagnosis, and treatment.\n\nID: 42558201\nTitle: First Human Infection with Influenza A(H1N2)v Virus - Yunnan Province, China, 2026.\nAbstract: Human infections with influenza A(H1N2)v viruses of swine origin have been sporadically reported in several countries, usually following direct or indirect exposure to pigs or contaminated environments. However, sustained human-to-human transmission has not yet been documented. This report describes the first laboratory-confirmed human infection with the influenza A(H1N2)v virus in China. Whole-genome sequencing showed that all eight gene segments were closely related to influenza viruses of swine origin circulating in China. No secondary human cases were identified among the close contacts, and no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission was detected. This highlights the importance of routine influenza-like illness surveillance, timely whole-genome sequencing, and systematic investigation of unusual influenza A infections. Strengthened surveillance at the human-animal interface and cross-sector collaboration under the One Health framework are essential for early detection and risk assessment of variant influenza viruses.\n\nID: 42557516\nTitle: Gene expression patterns associated with influenza A and type I hypersensitivity in childhood appendicitis.\nAbstract: Both influenza A infection (IAV) and type I hypersensitivity mechanisms have been independently linked to acute appendicitis. Particularly the expression of type I hypersensitivity associated with cytokine interleukin (IL) 13 has been shown to be of significance in both, appendicitis and influenza infection. The aim of the current study was to analyze possible associations of respective gene expressions at the level of mathematical correlations. We analyzed messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expressions of IAV-associated markers, hypersensitivity type I-related cytokines and inflammatory markers IL-17A and c-reactive protein (CRP) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 29 children aged 7-17 years, who were operated for histologically confirmed appendicitis at Charit\u00e9-Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin between April and August 2019. Statistical relationships between gene expressions were investigated using Spearman's correlation analysis, with a correlation coefficient r \u2265 0.5 or r \u2264 -\u00a00.5 representing high, and r \u2265 0.7 or r \u2264 - 0.7 very high correlations. Statistical significance was assumed at P < 0.01. A total of 29 patients were involved in this study. Particularly the expression of IL-13 showed highly significant negative correlations with that of IAV-specific antiviral response genes, ranging from -\u00a00.89 (P < 0.0001) to -\u00a00.49 (P = 0.006). A strong inflammatory background was demonstrated by very high correlations of IL-13 with CRP (r = 0.91, P < 0.0001) and IL-17A (r = 0.82, P < 0.0001). These findings suggest a connection between IAV infection and acute appendicitis in children, implicating sequential immune responses, including hypersensitivity type I mechanisms, in appendicitis pathophysiology.\n\nID: 42557005\nTitle: Fulminant invasive group A streptococcal infection following influenza A during pregnancy resulting in maternal near-miss.\nAbstract: Invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) infection during pregnancy is rare but associated with disproportionately high maternal mortality. Influenza infection has been shown to increase the virulence of Streptococcus pyogenes, and a global resurgence of iGAS has been reported in the post-COVID-19 era.We report a woman in her early 30s at 32 weeks of gestation who developed fulminant iGAS following influenza A infection. Despite antiviral therapy and repeatedly negative rapid antigen tests for group A streptococcus, her condition rapidly deteriorated, resulting in septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome and intrauterine fetal death. Intensive multidisciplinary management including emergency delivery, continuous haemodiafiltration and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was required. The patient survived but required right lower limb amputation due to severe ischaemic complications.This case highlights the potential for influenza to precipitate life-threatening iGAS during pregnancy and underscores the need for early recognition when pregnant patients with influenza show unexpected clinical deterioration.\n\nID: 42556831\nTitle: Epidemiology, trends and determinants of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 positivity among severe acute respiratory infection patients in Cambodia, 2020-2024: a hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional surveillance data analysis.\nAbstract: To describe the epidemiological pattern, temporal trends of influenza and SARS-CoV-2, and determinants of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI)-confirmed positivity among patients hospitalised with SARI in Cambodia. A hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional surveillance data analysis using national sentinel SARI surveillance data collected from 2020 to 2024. Nine SARI sentinel hospitals are located across Cambodia. A total of 16 739 hospitalised patients who met the SARI case definition. SARI-confirmed positivity defines all SARI cases with laboratory-confirmed influenza or SARS-CoV-2 infections as the main outcome measure. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed, followed by multivariate logistic regression to identify factors associated with SARI-confirmed positivity. Among 16\u2009739 SARI cases, median age in years was 16 (IQR=59), with 54.6% being male; 13.5% were laboratory-confirmed for influenza or SARS-CoV-2. High mortality rate in 2021. A(H3N2) dominated in 2020, followed by widespread SARS-CoV-2 circulation in 2021. In 2022, SARS-CoV-2 co-circulated with A(H3N2) and influenza B (Victoria). A(H1N1)pdm became the predominant strain in 2023 as SARS-CoV-2 and A(H3N2) declined. In 2024, A(H3N2) again led circulation, with B(Victoria) and SARS-CoV-2 also detected. Sporadic A(H5N1) cases began appearing in late 2023. Multivariable analysis indicated higher odds of SARI-confirmed positivity among children aged 5-14 years (adjusted OR (aOR)=1.85; 95%\u2009CI 1.47 to 2.31)\u2009and adults 50-64 years (aOR=1.36; 95%\u2009CI 1.15 to 1.60) compared with adults 25-49 years, during the rainy season (aOR=2.09; 95%\u2009CI 1.89 to 2.32)\u2009and among patients in Phnom Penh compared with other regions (p<0.001). Influenza detection markedly increased from 2022 to 2024 following the decline observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. These results indicate that there was an increase in SARI trends over the periods and the changing influenza subtypes circulating each year, along with a high mortality rate during the Delta variant COVID-19 pandemic in Cambodia. Age, region, year and season were significant factors associated with SARI-confirmed positivity. Targeted interventions and preventive measures should be prioritised for specific high-risk groups.\n\nID: 42556325\nTitle: Impact of infectious disease outbreaks and regulatory policies on cord blood banking: a two-decade single-center analysis in Korea.\nAbstract: Public cord blood (CB) banks face declining inventories worldwide, but the relative contributions of regulatory changes, declining birth rates, and infectious disease outbreaks remain unclear. We performed a retrospective analysis of 73\u00a0925 CB units submitted to a Korean public cord blood bank from 2006 to 2025, encompassing two regulatory transitions in total nucleated cell (TNC) criteria and three major outbreaks (H1N1, MERS, and COVID-19), using interrupted time series, correlation, and multivariable analyses. Of 73\u00a0925 submissions, 27\u00a0684 (37.4%) were banked. The 2011 TNC \u2265 8\u2009\u00d7\u2009108 criterion produced a moderate reduction in banking rate from 37.7% to 33.6%, while the 2021 TNC \u2265 11\u2009\u00d7\u2009108 revision caused an abrupt decline from 52.6% to 24.4%. H1N1 and MERS had minimal effects, whereas the COVID-19 period showed a sustained decline coinciding with the 2021 TNC revision. Birth decline correlated strongly with submissions (R2 = 0.94). Regulatory criteria changes were the primary driver of banking rate fluctuations, while declining births affected submission volume. Among three outbreaks, only the COVID-19 period overlapped with a sustained decline, likely reflecting concurrent regulatory change rather than the pandemic itself. CB quality and safety were maintained throughout all disruptions. These findings have direct translational implications for sustaining the global CB inventory as a critical source of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation.\n\nID: 42556103\nTitle: Categorical short-term forecasts of respiratory pathogens in Europe.\nAbstract: Real-time near-term forecasts of seasonal respiratory infections are currently available from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control through the Respicast forecast hub. In this study, we explored the generation of probabilistic forecasts of short-term change in influenza-like illness (ILI) and acute respiratory illness (ARI) disease activity for over twenty countries in Europe. Building on publicly available datasets of respiratory disease activity in Europe, we describe a forecasting pipeline that includes: a) a flexible method to define categories of interest, in relation to disease activity seen in past seasons; and b) an approach based on smoothing splines to translate real-time probabilistic forecasts of continuous targets (available in Respicast) to forecasts of categorical targets. We applied the methods to forecast ILI/ARI consultation rates in Europe, and influenza-associated hospitalization in the United States during the 2024/25 season. For forecasts in the US, results suggest that the simple approximation method can match the skill of at least a third of the models with which a direct comparison was possible. Skill of the approximated forecasts of nearly half of the models in Respicast were better than the benchmark's when predicting ILI rate changes. Approximation of the hub-ensemble's continuous forecasts yielded an improvement of 24% over benchmark; further improvement through combining individual model forecasts was noted. ARI rate changes were harder to predict than ILI, and the value of model combination was less clear. Besides forecast skill, heterogeneity in models' calibration was also observed. We believe these categorical forecasts can provide a plausibly more intuitive indicator of predicted change in respiratory disease burden, and a useful addition to routine surveillance reports. The approaches are flexible, computationally inexpensive and can help realize an addon value from extant Respicast infrastructure.\n\nID: 42555510\nTitle: Heterologous prime-boost vaccination against H5 avian influenza: Safety and immunogenicity of a MF59-adjuvanted, cell-culture derived H5N6 vaccine.\nAbstract: With increasing H5 avian influenza cases reported globally and the potential for pandemic emergence, induction of cross-reactive antibody responses may represent an important attribute of an effective vaccine. This phase 2 extension study evaluated immunogenicity and safety of MF59-adjuvanted, cell culture-derived H5N6 vaccine (aH5N6c) in adults primed with MF59-adjuvanted, cell culture-derived H5N1 vaccine (aH5N1c) and in unprimed adults. Adults previously primed with two doses of aH5N1c in the parent study V89_18 were randomized to receive two aH5N6c doses (Group 1) or one aH5N6c and one placebo (Group 2) 3\u2009weeks apart. Unprimed adults received two aH5N6c doses (Group 3). Immunogenicity was assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and microneutralization (MN) assays against the priming (H5N1) and booster (H5N6) strains on Days 1, 8, 22, 43, and 202. Among 258 exposed participants, primed subjects (Groups 1 and 2) showed higher HI geometric mean titers against both strains than unprimed (Group 3) subjects, with MN responses similarly enhanced. Heterologous H5N1 responses were robust in primed subjects (Day 43 HI GMTs: 333-343; seroconversion rates >89%) but minimal in unprimed subjects, with responses persisting to Day 202. Solicited adverse events were mild or moderate, comparable between groups, and consistent with other MF59-adjuvanted pandemic vaccines; no vaccine-related serious adverse events occurred. Heterologous H5N6 booster vaccination in H5N1-primed adults elicited strong cross-reactive immunity against the priming strain, demonstrating long-lasting immune memory for at least 6 y and supporting heterologous prime-boost strategies for pandemic preparedness against emerging H5 outbreaks.\n\nID: 42555410\nTitle: Comparative innate immune responses across major RNA and DNA viral infections: Mechanisms, immunopathology, and therapeutic perspectives.\nAbstract: Innate immunity is the first defense against viral infections, limiting viral replication and initiating adaptive immunity. Viral pathogens are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), (RIG-I-like receptors) RLRs, and the (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase) cGAS-STING pathway, which trigger interferon production and antiviral responses. This review compares innate immune responses to major RNA viruses (influenza, SARS-CoV-2, HIV) and DNA viruses (HSV, HBV, CMV). While these viruses activate similar pathways, they differ in interferon dynamics, inflammatory responses, immune cell activation, and immune evasion mechanisms. RNA viruses often induce rapid and strong innate responses, whereas many DNA viruses establish persistence through immune modulation. Dysregulated innate immunity can contribute to cytokine storms, chronic inflammation, and tissue damage. Therapeutic strategies targeting innate immunity, such as interferons, cytokine inhibitors, PRR agonists, and host-directed antivirals, may improve outcomes. Infection severity depends on the timing, magnitude, and regulation of innate immune responses.\n\nID: 42555398\nTitle: Respiratory syncytial virus inhibits type I interferon signaling to maintain HLA-DM expression in CD1c+ dendritic cells.\nAbstract: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection often elicits ineffective long-term immune responses due to inefficient immune priming, complicating disease management and vaccine development. Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of antiviral immunity and antigen presentation; yet, the direct impact of RSV on these pathways remains poorly understood. In this study, we identify sustained HLA-DM expression as a unique hallmark of RSV infected CD1c+ DCs, a phenotype not observed following influenza infection or poly(I:C) stimulation. Using single cell RNA sequencing, pharmacological inhibition, and complementary controls, we demonstrate that TBK1 dependent Type I Interferon signaling is a key regulator of HLA-DM expression during DC maturation. Co-culture experiments further suggest that HLA-DM-high DCs influence CD4+ T cell differentiation, supporting a model in which sustained HLA-DM expression reshapes antigen presentation and downstream adaptive immunity. Together, these findings uncover a previously unknown link between innate antiviral signaling and antigen presentation machinery in human DCs.\n\nID: 42555354\nTitle: A CEBPB-IPO4-FASN-MAVS axis limits innate immune activation and viral pneumonia.\nAbstract: Dysregulation of innate immunity during respiratory RNA virus infections drives systemic hyperinflammation and lung injury. Here, we show that importin \u03b24 (IPO4) has a role in inhibiting antiviral innate immunity. Transcriptomics analysis illustrated a downregulation of IPO4 in alveolar macrophages, lung ciliated epithelium, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from severely ill patients with COVID-19 or influenza. We further identified CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB) as the transcription factor for IPO4 reduction during RNA viral infections. Loss-of-function validation demonstrated that IPO4 dampens the innate antiviral and inflammatory responses in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, IPO4 sequesters fatty acid synthase (FASN) to block palmitic acid production, thereby inhibiting mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) activation and the downstream innate immune signaling. Moreover, Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated pulmonary restoration of IPO4 significantly alleviated viral pneumonia in mice. These results indicate that the CEBPB-IPO4-FASN-MAVS axis preserves innate immune homeostasis to avoid inflammatory pathology, highlighting IPO4 as a potential therapeutic target for severe viral pneumonia.\n\nID: 42555152\nTitle: From policy to practice: Systemic solutions to strengthen maternal immunization in sub-Saharan Africa.\nAbstract: Maternal immunization confers dual protection on pregnant women and their newborns through transplacental antibody transfer, yet vaccination coverage across sub-Saharan Africa remains critically inadequate. Two intersecting crises drive this gap: vaccine hesitancy, rooted in historical distrust and pervasive misinformation, and vaccine scarcity, driven by supply chain fragility and infrastructural deficits. Sub-Saharan Africa bears approximately 70% of global maternal deaths and 57% of neonatal deaths worldwide, with an estimated 200\u2009000 vaccine-preventable neonatal deaths annually. This narrative review examines the causes and impacts of both crises and reviews the evidence base for key maternal vaccines including tetanus toxoid, Anti-D immunoglobulin, influenza, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), and respiratory syncytial virus. Drawing on a conceptual pathway model, we present a six-pillar framework addressing structural determinants, prenatal care integration, workforce capacity, supply chain modernization, community engagement, and equity-focused monitoring. We conclude with a call to action for concerted, multi-stakeholder intervention to build a resilient and equitable maternal immunization ecosystem across the region.\n\nID: 42554770\nTitle: Identification and computational analysis of B-cell epitopes on the hemagglutinin protein of the H3N2 influenza virus.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a highly infectious enveloped RNA virus that primarily causes respiratory disease. Continuous antigenic variation in influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) is a major driver of influenza pandemics. Therefore, precise identification of B-cell epitopes within HA is essential for developing diagnostic tools and vaccine candidates that can help limit further influenza spread. In the present study, an integrated experimental and bioinformatics strategy was used. A trimeric HA protein was rationally designed to improve antigenicity and immunogenicity, expressed in a mammalian eukaryotic expression system, and purified by Ni-affinity chromatography. After animal immunization, nine HA-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), namely 5D5, 6B8, 9E7, 13F8, 14C3, 15F6, 16B5, 17H7, and 20C5, were generated. These mAbs specifically recognized HA protein in western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFA). B-cell epitopes on HA were subsequently mapped using these mAbs by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dot-blot, western blotting, and IFA. Six previously unreported linear B-cell epitopes were identified: 21GNDNSTATL29, 41IVKTITNDR49, 116YDVPDYASL124, 382DLKSTQAAI390, 458SEMNKLFEK466, and 488KCDNACIGS496. Bioinformatics analysis further revealed the spatial distribution and structural characteristics of these epitope regions on HA. These findings expand the current understanding of HA epitopes and provide a theoretical basis for developing IAV subunit vaccines and highly sensitive detection methods.\n\nID: 42554662\nTitle: Vaccines, Bias, and the Perils of Non-peer-reviewed Studies: Fueling Misinformation and Vaccine Hesitancy.\nAbstract: Unvetted scientific claims about vaccines can spread rapidly and undermine decades of progress in immunization and public trust. A recent non-peer-reviewed analysis, promoted at political hearings, in the documentary \"An Inconvenient Study,\" and on social media, has been used to suggest that vaccinated children experience higher rates of chronic illness than unvaccinated peers. Despite standard regression models, critical flaws - uncontrolled confounding, exposure misclassification, unequal follow-up, and outcome multiplicity, invalidate causal inference. An independent group of international experts critically appraises this analysis and contrast its claims with the consistent evidence confirming vaccine safety and effectiveness. We also show how poorly designed studies can distort public discourse, amplify misinformation, and fuel vaccine hesitancy. We outline actions to strengthen research integrity, such as transparent data sharing, labeling of non-peer-reviewed content, and evidence-based communication. Safeguarding public health demands that vaccine evidence be methodologically sound, reviewed, and interpreted by qualified experts.\n\nID: 42553884\nTitle: Nonpharmaceutical interventions and postpandemic resurgence: the shifting epidemiology of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province (2020-2024).\nAbstract: Acute respiratory infections caused by influenza A/B (Flu A/Flu B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and adenovirus (ADV) remain a major global health burden. The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly altered respiratory virus transmission through nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Samples from patients with respiratory tract infections at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to October 2024 were collected. ADV, Flu A, Flu B, and RSV were detected to evaluate the impact of NPIs on viral epidemiology. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software and GraphPad Prism. Multivariable binary logistic regression models, adjusting for age group and sex, were constructed to evaluate the independent effect of NPI relaxation (strict NPI period 2020-2022 vs. post-relaxation period 2023-2024) on virus positivity. Stratified analyses by age group and demographic comparability assessments between periods were also performed. Overall virus positivity declined from 27.4% (2020) to 14.5% (2021) during strict NPIs, then rebounded to 35.1% in 2023 after relaxation. Flu A resurged atypically in summer 2022 and dominated the 2023 winter peak, while Flu B increased annually and peaked in 2024. ADV regained its prepandemic summer seasonality by 2024, whereas RSV showed limited seasonal variation. Higher ADV positivity was observed in males, and higher Flu B positivity in females. By 2024, influenza burden shifted toward adults and geriatric populations, while children under five remained most vulnerable to RSV and ADV. However, after adjusting for demographic shifts-including a significant increase in adult patients (18-60 years: 22.1%-40.0%) and altered sex ratios between periods (both P < 0.001)-the post-relaxation period showed lower adjusted odds of positivity for all four pathogens (Flu A: aOR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.61-0.67; Flu B: aOR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.63-0.70; ADV: aOR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.68-0.76; RSV: aOR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.59-0.65; all P < 0.001), whereas no significant sex differences were observed after multivariable adjustment (all P > 0.05). Stratified analyses further revealed that the magnitude of period-related risk reduction increased with age for all pathogens. This study demonstrates that the postpandemic resurgence of respiratory viruses in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was not a monolithic recrudescence following NPIs relaxation, but a multifaceted shifting epidemiology driven by three convergent forces: expanded school-based and community screening that broadened the tested denominator, demographic case-mix shifts toward higher-risk adult populations, and pathogen-specific alterations in seasonal and age-specific transmission patterns. The consistently lower adjusted odds of positivity during the post-relaxation period indicate that crude resurgence signals must be interpreted through the lens of surveillance structure. This study demonstrates that the postpandemic resurgence of respiratory viruses in Hangzhou (2020-2024) was not a uniform transmission rebound following NPI relaxation, but a shifting epidemiology shaped by surveillance structural changes, pathogen-specific resilience, and altered population immunity. Multivariable models showed lower adjusted odds after restriction easing, while age-stratified analyses revealed heterogeneous period effects superimposed on stable risk hierarchies. In this subtropical Chinese city, influenza reasserted prepandemic seasonality, whereas RSV and ADV exhibited delayed recovery. These insights advocate for adaptive, age-targeted public health strategies-prioritizing adult vaccination for influenza and sustained pediatric prevention for RSV and ADV-that account for both biological transmission dynamics and surveillance artifacts in the post-COVID-19 era.\n\nID: 42553490\nTitle: Engineering Organoid Platforms for Pathogenesis Research.\nAbstract: Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases ranging from the 1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic to the recent SARS-CoV-2 and monkeypox virus outbreaks continue to pose profound threats to global public health. These crises underscore the critical need for high-fidelity and human-relevant infection models. Organoid technology has emerged as a cornerstone platform for pathogen research by faithfully recapitulating the 3-dimensional architecture and physiological microenvironment of native human tissues in\u00a0vitro. This review systematically examines the development and structural refinement of organoid-based infection models with an emphasis on evidence-based strategies for stem cell source selection, extracellular matrix optimization, and dynamic culture system engineering. Such advancements enable the robust generation of multi-organ models including respiratory, intestinal, and neural organoids tailored for investigating viral tropism, spatiotemporal infection kinetics, and host immune responses. Furthermore, we evaluate the translational utility of organoids in high-throughput antiviral drug screening and preclinical vaccine assessment. To further enhance physiological relevance and functional fidelity, organoid platforms are being increasingly combined with advanced engineering strategies, including coculture approaches, CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genetic perturbation, engineered microphysiological systems (such as organ-on-a-chip), and 3D bioprinting. These integrated technologies improve biomimicry while expanding experimental controllability and scalability. In addition, we critically examine the major bottlenecks limiting clinical translation and discuss emerging frontiers driven by artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. Through iterative technological refinement and cross-disciplinary convergence, organoids have evolved beyond reductionist in\u00a0vitro surrogates into physiologically informed and mechanism-driven platforms that advance our understanding of host-pathogen interactions while enhancing global preparedness against emerging pathogens.\n\nID: 42553356\nTitle: Estimation of populations at risk for severe influenza and vaccination coverage in Mexico, 2010-2021.\nAbstract: Influenza remains an important cause of morbidity among populations with underlying medical conditions associated with increased risk of severe disease. This study aimed to estimate the size of populations eligible for influenza vaccination according to the Mexican Universal Vaccination Program and to evaluate vaccination coverage gaps among populations at risk in Mexico between 2010 and 2021. A retrospective analytical study was conducted using epidemiological and administrative healthcare databases from Mexican public healthcare institutions. Population estimates were constructed using prevalence-based epidemiological projections, healthcare system records, and attended patient data from populations at risk. Descriptive analyses and time-series modeling were performed to evaluate vaccination coverage patterns and healthcare demand over time. Across all analyzed populations at risk, the number of individuals receiving healthcare services was consistently lower than the number of notified cases and substantially lower than prevalence-based epidemiological estimates. Vaccination coverage varied considerably across populations at risk and remained incomplete throughout the study period. In 2021, although approximately 12.5 million influenza vaccine doses were administered among populations at risk, a substantial proportion of potentially eligible individuals remained unvaccinated. Forecasting analyses suggested a progressive increase in healthcare demand among populations at risk over time. Important gaps persist between the estimated population at risk, diagnosed individuals, healthcare utilization, and influenza vaccination coverage in Mexico. The analytical framework proposed in this study integrates epidemiological prevalence estimates, healthcare utilization patterns, and vaccination data to identify unmet vaccination needs and may support improved public health planning, prioritization strategies, and strengthening of influenza vaccination programs in Mexico and similar settings.\n\nID: 42553129\nTitle: Aerosol transmission of infectious diseases in poultry: microbiology, pathogenesis, and control measures.\nAbstract: The expansion of intensive poultry production improves productivity but increases the risk of disease transmission. In poultry houses, infectious disease transmission occurs through direct and indirect routes, including surface contamination and vector-borne transmission. Typically, disease control in poultry mostly focuses on direct contact and management-related practices in poultry houses, but there is growing evidence highlighting the significance of the aerosol transmission route - an indirect route of pathogen spread that can impair production performance in poultry. High stocking density in poultry houses, inadequate ventilation, and poor biosecurity measures increase the risk of aerosolized transmission of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. The efficiency of this route depends on particle size, humidity, temperature, and ventilation, which influence pathogen survival and exposure, and is further compounded by environmental stressors and the site of action within the animal's respiratory system. Given that major pathogens, such as avian influenza virus, infectious bronchitis virus, avian orthoavulavirus 1, and Aspergillus spp., are usually transmitted via the aerosol route, it is essential for poultry farmers to adopt a range of mitigation strategies to achieve effective disease prevention and improve production output. As such, this review highlights the role of aerosol transmission in poultry health and management, focusing on microbiological aspects, pathogenesis, overall impact, and mitigation strategies. Also, this review aims to integrate current knowledge on aerosol characteristics with transmission dynamics and to provide insight into future research opportunities.\n\nID: 42552874\nTitle: Genetic and Phylogenetic Characterization of Influenza D Viruses From South Korean Cattle, 2022-2023.\nAbstract: Influenza D virus (IDV) is an emerging orthomyxovirus with cattle as its principal reservoir, and D/Yama2019-lineage viruses have become dominant in East Asia. Although IDV has been detected in Korean cattle, the genomic identity, phylogenetic placement, and regional evolutionary relationships of circulating Korean strains have not been defined. To address these gaps, nasal swabs were collected from 578 cattle with mild respiratory signs on 157 farms across eight provinces in South Korea during 2022-2023 and screened by RT-qPCR targeting the PB1 gene. Positive samples underwent complete genome sequencing of all seven segments, followed by maximum-likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses, discrete phylogeographic inference using a Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS) model, and positive selection analyses. Six samples from three farms were IDV-positive (sample-level positivity: 1.04%; farm-level positivity: 1.9%), all from 8-to-10-month-old calves. Phylogenetic analysis of all seven genomic segments placed all six Korean strains within the D/Yama2019 lineage with strong bootstrap support (99%-100%), forming a monophyletic cluster more closely related to Chinese than to Japanese D/Yama2019 reference strains. No phylogenetic evidence of reassortment was detected. Bayesian time-scaled analysis estimated the most recent common ancestor of the Korean strains at ~2018.1-2020.1 across all seven segments. HEF-based BSSVS analysis suggested a China-to-South Korea transition within the sampled dataset (posterior probability (PP)\u2009=\u20090.982; Bayes factor (BF)\u2009=\u2009163.67), although this result should be interpreted in light of the small number of Korean sequences and the single-segment basis of the phylogeographic analysis. Positive selection analyses revealed limited, method-dependent signals without support from the fixed effects likelihood model, and Korean-associated amino acid substitutions in PB1, P3, NS1, and NS2 were interpreted as lineage-associated molecular signatures rather than evidence of adaptive evolution. These findings provide a whole-genome baseline for IDV surveillance in South Korea and support continued longitudinal monitoring to clarify the persistence and transmission dynamics of D/Yama2019-lineage viruses in the region.\n\nID: 42552681\nTitle: Impact of an Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination Course on Enhancing Pharmacists' Knowledge.\nAbstract: BACKGROUND In Poland, pharmacists have recently been authorized to administer vaccinations to adult patients in pharmacies, including influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. To obtain certification, pharmacists must complete a specialized qualification course organized by the Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education in Warsaw (CPME). This study aimed to evaluate changes in pharmacists' knowledge following completion of a qualification course on administering influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations. MATERIAL AND METHODS This pre-post study was conducted online between February 2024 and July 2025. Participation was limited to pharmacists eligible to enroll in the CPME course. Knowledge was assessed using an original 20-item single-choice test (1 point per correct answer) covering influenza and pneumococcal epidemiology, eligibility criteria, and the legal and financial aspects of vaccination. Analyses examined both the overall score and changes in responses to individual questions. RESULTS The study included only participants who completed both the pre-test and post-test, constituting the matched analytic cohort (n=327). The course significantly improved knowledge relative to the pre-training assessment (t\u208d\u2083\u2082\u2086\u208e=28.02; P<0.001; d=1.55). The effect was substantial, with a mean increase of 4.7 points across the entire test (Mdiff=-4.67; 95% confidence interval, -4.99 to -4.34). Respondents improved their scores by approximately 23% of the maximum possible score. CONCLUSIONS Completion of the qualification course on influenza and pneumococcal vaccination significantly improved pharmacists' knowledge. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess knowledge retention and determine the impact of expanded pharmacy-based vaccination services on public health outcomes in Poland.\n\nID: 42552516\nTitle: Etiological characterization of acute respiratory tract infections and associated co-infections using Biofire respiratory 2.1 Plus panel.\nAbstract: Following the relaxation of non-pharmaceutical interventions post-COVID-19 pandemic, acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) have posed a substantial burden on healthcare settings, necessitating the implementation of rapid molecular diagnostic tools to improve pathogen identification and ensure early clinical management. We conducted a retrospective study over one year (April 2024-March 2025) on 258 patients with ARTIs, admitted to a tertiary care hospital located in Egypt, to characterize their microbiological profile by Biofire respiratory 2.1 plus panel (RP 2.1). The demographic data and co-morbidities were systematically collected and analyzed from electronic medical records. Of 160 patients testing positive for at least one respiratory pathogen by RP2.1 plus, 147 (91.8%) were positive for viral pathogens, 8(5%) for mixed viral-bacterial detections, and 5(3.2%) for bacterial detections. Detection of a single respiratory pathogen was observed among 71.8% of cases, with a statistically significant difference during autumn (27%, p\u2009=\u20090.03), and co-detections with multiple pathogens were observed among 28.2% of patients. Human rhinovirus (HRV) was the most common detected virus (52.5%), followed by Parainfluenza virus 1-4 (PIV,16.9%), seasonal Coronavirus species (15.6%), severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and Influenza virus (INF) with equal frequency 10% each. Of 84 patients with HRV, 54 (64%) were infected with HRV only, and 30 (36%) had HRV co-detection. Patients with HRV co-detection were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with pneumonia than patients with HRV mono-detection (71.4% vs. 28.6%, p\u2009<\u20090.0001). Children in the age group less than 4 years old were more likely to be diagnosed with HRV co-detection than children with HRV only (60% versus 40% at p\u2009=\u20090.00). The most frequently detected respiratory pathogens with HRV were human coronavirus OC43 (4, 13.3%), followed by INFA (3,10%) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (3,10%). The current surge of respiratory pathogens post-COVID-19 pandemic calls for continuous monitoring of seasonal as well as co-detection patterns to mitigate potential health care burden and guide targeted public health interventions.

We aimed to detect and genetically characterize HPAI viruses in wild bird populations in Mongolia and assess their relationship with viruses circulating in East Asia. Active surveillance was conducted at Ganga Lake, Mongolia, in October 2024. A total of 352 wild bird fecal samples were collected and tested for AIVs. Viral isolates were subtyped, whole-genome sequenced, and phylogenetically analyzed. Host species was identified using c oxidase I barcoding. Sixteen AIVs were isolated, including one clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 HPAI virus (M9-3) from whooper swan feces. Genomic analysis revealed M9-3 had > 99% similarity with Korean and Japanese H5N1 isolates reported in late 2024 and undergone recent reassortment and disseminated through migratory flyways. This is the first detection of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 in Eastern Mongolia in a fecal sample during late autumn. These findings underscore Mongolia's importance as a sentinel location for interregional HPAI dissemination.\n\nID: 42551545\nTitle: Deciphering viral action on host genome structure: a computational physics perspective.\nAbstract: Recent experimental findings indicate that several viruses are able to substantially re-organize the host cell genome architecture. Since chromatin three-dimensional (3D) organization is tightly linked to vital cellular functions, investigating how viral infections impact physical mechanisms shaping DNA folding provides useful clues about virus action on gene regulation and consequent activation. This review provides an overview of recent advances in the development of computational modelling approaches used to shed light on how host cell chromatin 3D structure is altered following viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2 and avian influenza IAV-H5N1. Given the flexibility of this approach, such models can be adapted to a wide range of pathogens, making them valuable methods for investigating the specificity of distinct infection mechanisms. Overall, we show how such models can be helpful tools that, in tandem with traditional experimental methods, allow to decipher complexity of infection mechanisms at molecular level from a new perspective.\n\nID: 42551401\nTitle: Intersection of vaccination, health literacy, education, and communication in South America: A scientometric mapping.\nAbstract: Vaccination-related challenges have become increasingly prominent worldwide, yet the temporal evolution and structural organization of the corresponding scientific literature in South America remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to systematically map and analyze the evolution of scientific production at the intersection of vaccination, health literacy, education, and communication in South America between 2015 and 2025, identifying temporal shifts, thematic structures, geographic asymmetries, and collaboration patterns including SARS-CoV-2 pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases. A systematic mapping analysis with an integrated scientometric approach was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published between January 2015 and November 2025. After duplicate removal, 476 records were screened by two independent reviewers, and 80 studies were included for thematic and network analysis using VOSviewer. Scientific production expanded substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic and showed marked shifts in the prominence and co-occurrence of vaccination-related terms. Before 2020, research primarily focused on vaccination coverage, influenza immunization, and educational interventions. During the pandemic, the literature expanded and incorporated a broader range of terms related to COVID-19, fear, information and vaccine hesitancy. In the post-pandemic period, the research agenda showed renewed attention to childhood immunization, vaccination coverage and regional knowledge gaps. Scientific output remains geographically concentrated, particularly in Brazil, and collaboration networks display structural fragmentation. The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the mapped South American vaccination research landscape, expanding its thematic scope without overcoming geographic concentration or fragmented collaboration.\n\nID: 42551133\nTitle: Design, synthesis, and anti-influenza A virus evaluation of 2-aminoquinoline derivatives.\nAbstract: The rapid emergence of drug-resistant influenza A virus (IAV) strains has severely limited the efficacy of current antiviral therapies, highlighting an urgent need for novel agents with distinct mechanisms of action. In this study, a series of 2-aminoquinoline derivatives were synthesized via a trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) -catalyzed annulation strategy. Evaluation of their anti-influenza virus activity revealed that derivative 3g exhibited potent antiviral efficacy, low cytotoxicity, and a high selectivity index(SI), making it the most promising candidate in this series. In vitro investigations revealed that 3g primarily acted during the early-to-mid stages of viral replication, significantly suppressing the transcription and translation of viral nucleoprotein (NP) and matrix protein 2 (M2), thereby effectively blocking viral replication and protein synthesis. Furthermore, 3g inhibited virus-induced apoptosis, reduced excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) triggered by viral infection, and markedly attenuated cytokine storm responses by suppressing the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)/Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3)-mediated signaling pathways. In vivo experiments confirmed that 3g significantly reduced viral loads in the lungs of infected mice, alleviated pulmonary histopathological damage, and downregulated inflammatory factor levels, while exhibiting good biosafety. Collectively, these results position derivative 3g as a promising compound for the development of novel anti-influenza therapies.\n\nID: 42550738\nTitle: The effect of short message reminders on seasonal influenza vaccination rates in the geriatric population.\nAbstract: Seasonal influenza causes substantial morbidity and mortality in older adults, yet vaccination coverage in this population remains low. This study evaluated the association between short message service (SMS)-based informational and reminder messages and influenza vaccination uptake among adults aged 65 y and older. In this single-center prospective study, an SMS reminder was sent at the beginning of the 2024-2025 influenza season to 1690 individuals aged\u2009\u226565 y who had attended a family medicine outpatient clinic during the previous season. Demographic characteristics and prior-season influenza vaccination status were obtained from electronic medical records. At the end of the season, participants were contacted by telephone, and 338 individuals who completed follow-up were included in the final analysis. Influenza vaccination uptake increased from 16.9% in the 2023-2024 season to 31.4% in the 2024-2025 season, corresponding to an absolute increase of 14.5% points (p\u2009<\u2009.001). Among individuals vaccinated in the previous season, 52.6% were vaccinated again, while 27.0% of those unvaccinated in the previous season received the vaccine in the current season. In age-stratified analyses, the increase was significant in the young-old group (65-74 y) but not in the older age groups. In binary logistic regression analysis, prior-season influenza vaccination was the only factor significantly associated with current-season vaccination (OR,2.960; 95% CI,1.650-5.309; p\u2009<\u2009.001). Influenza vaccination uptake was significantly higher during the season in which SMS reminders were sent, suggesting that text messaging may support vaccination coverage among older adults, although additional age-tailored strategies may be needed for older subgroups.\n\nID: 42550620\nTitle: Edith Dee Hall: Army Nurse, AORN Founder, and Visionary Perioperative Nursing Leader.\nAbstract: The Army Nurse Corps boasts a distinguished legacy of selfless service to American Warfighters, with its members consistently demonstrating exceptional dedication and leadership to national nursing organizations. This biography chronicles the remarkable life of Edith Dee Hall (1897-1971), a trailblazing Army Nurse Corps Officer and the visionary founder of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN). Shaped by the urgent demands of World War I and the influenza pandemic, Hall trained at the novel Army School of Nursing. Her subsequent career highlighted the critical need for a formal organization to unite operating room nurses and elevate patient care. Hall's instrumental leadership in AORN's establishment and early growth profoundly transformed perioperative nursing, establishing national standards for competence and ensuring \"Better and Safer Care for the Patient in the Operating Room.\"\n\nID: 42541646\nTitle: Past achievements and future perspectives of personalized vaccines and the role of dendritic cells.\nAbstract: Personalized vaccines provide the advantage of patient-specific antigen selection to optimize immune responses, a strategy extensively explored in oncology through neoantigen-targeted peptide, mRNA, and dendritic cell platforms. Peptide vaccines provide simplicity and stability though often elicit limited cytotoxic T-cell responses. What is more, mRNA vaccines lead to rapid, multiplexed neoantigen delivery, endogenous antigen processing and eventually improved immunogenic coverage. Dendritic cell-based vaccines have the potency to prime potent T-cells although this technology requires labor-intensive manufacturing and extensive production timelines. Integration with immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, and oncolytic viruses further enhances efficacy, suggesting that rational combinations may be more effective than single modalities. Recent advances in sequencing, computational epitope prediction, and bioinformatics pipelines have facilitated neoantigen prioritization and DC vaccine design, enabling more rapid and precise personalization. Hybrid vaccination strategies, such as ex-vivo mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells and in-vivo DC-targeted platforms, bridge the gap between manufacturing feasibility and potent immune activation. Emerging technologies, including AI-driven neoepitope prediction, receptor-targeted antigen delivery, biomaterial-based modulation, and distributed mRNA manufacturing, seem to be promising approaches to accelerate personalized vaccine development in future. From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases. Host HLA diversity, prior immune history, and viral evolution create heterogeneity in immune responses, highlighting opportunities for semi-personalized or adaptive strategies. In this review, we provide a landscape of personalized vaccines, with a focus on DC-based platforms, and explore translational lessons for viral pathogens. A conceptual framework linking cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease preparedness is proposed, emphasizing hybrid personalization approaches, rapid manufacturing, and AI-enabled epitope selection. This perspective highlights how convergence of immunology, computational biology, and advanced vaccine technologies could expand the scope of personalized vaccination, from oncology to future epidemic and pandemic scenarios as well as the current challenges.\n\nID: 42536803\nTitle: The Changing Landscape of Hantavirus Infections: A Narrative Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Countermeasures.\nAbstract: Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens of increasing global public health significance. Their epidemiological landscape is rapidly changing due to ecological disruption, climate variability, urbanisation, and evolving human-animal interfaces. This narrative review synthesises current knowledge on hantavirus virology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical management, and emerging countermeasures, with a focus on developments from the past 5\u00a0years. Traditionally classified into Old World viruses causing haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and New World viruses causing hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), this dichotomy has become increasingly blurred, with overlapping renal and pulmonary manifestations now recognized. Among the most consequential recent advances is the consolidated evidence for person-to-person transmission of Andes virus, documented among household contacts and during the prodromal phase, with viral shedding in respiratory secretions. Endothelial dysfunction remains the pathological hallmark of severe disease, driven by VEGF sensitisation, Src kinase and RhoA pathway activation, pericyte infection, and dysregulated inflammatory responses including IL-6 trans-signalling. Concurrently, environmental and ecological studies have linked climate change, rodent population dynamics, land-use modification, and urbanisation to increased human disease risk across multiple continents. Diagnostic strategies continue to rely on serology and molecular testing, while management remains predominantly supportive, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) improving survival in fulminant HCPS. Importantly, recent structural virology advances have enabled the development of broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies targeting conserved quaternary epitopes, as well as next-generation vaccine platforms including DNA, mRNA, and prefusion-stabilised glycoprotein candidates. Hantaviruses represent a paradigmatic One Health challenge at the intersection of environmental change, viral evolution, and global interconnectedness. Despite major progress in understanding transmission dynamics and endothelial pathogenesis, critical gaps remain regarding determinants of person-to-person spread, long-term post-infection sequelae, and the absence of licenced broadly protective vaccines or specific antiviral therapies. Future preparedness will require integrated surveillance frameworks combining ecological monitoring, genomic epidemiology, and clinical readiness within coordinated international public health strategies.\n\nID: 42531981\nTitle: Immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of an mRNA-based seasonal influenza and SARS-CoV-2 multicomponent vaccine, mRNA-1083, in adults aged \u226550\u00a0years in Japan.\nAbstract: A multicomponent vaccine targeting seasonal influenza and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may reduce disease burden by providing simultaneous protection in a single injection. We report findings from Part 1 (Japan) of a phase 3, Asia-Pacific, randomized, observer-blind study evaluating immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of mRNA-based multicomponent vaccine mRNA-1083, combining influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigens. Participants aged \u226550\u00a0years were randomized (1:1) to receive mRNA-1083\u00a0+\u00a0placebo or Japan-licensed influenza hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine + mRNA-1273. Overall, 2022 participants were randomized, and 2013 received study intervention. At Day 29, mRNA-1083 elicited noninferior immune responses versus active comparators for all evaluated influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. Among high-risk participants (aged \u226565\u00a0years and 60 to <65\u00a0years with \u22651 comorbidity), noninferiority of mRNA-1083 was demonstrated for comparator-matched influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. In the overall study population, mRNA-1083 demonstrated superiority for the comparator-matched influenza strains and for SARS-CoV-2. At Day 181, immune responses remained above baseline and were comparable to or numerically higher than those elicited by active comparators. Most solicited adverse reactions were grade 1 or 2. There were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis, and no reported serious adverse events or deaths related to study intervention. Overall, mRNA-1083 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile, eliciting noninferior and superior immune responses against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in the high-risk and overall study population, respectively. Immune responses were maintained through 6\u00a0months post-vaccination. These findings support mRNA-1083 as a single-dose approach to seasonal vaccination against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in adults \u226550\u00a0years.

Large-sample clinical data have demonstrated that the in-hospital mortality of COVID-19-associated myocarditis reaches 19.4%, significantly higher than that of influenza-associated myocarditis (10.5%). Additionally, the incidence of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy-related myocarditis is 6.2%, while the mortality of sepsis-associated myocarditis is as high as 70%-90%. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the core pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity, dominate the entire pathological cascade, ranging from pathogen recognition and acute inflammatory burst to myocardial injury and chronic fibrous remodeling. Nevertheless, most current studies merely focus on the linear correlation between individual TLR activation and myocardial inflammation, failing to systematically clarify pathogen-TLR matching specificity and the spatiotemporal dynamic regulatory mechanisms of TLR signaling throughout disease progression. This review comprehensively combs the latest epidemiological profiles of infectious myocarditis, characterizes the expression patterns and signaling regulatory features of the TLR family within the cardiac immune microenvironment, analyzes pathogen-specific recognition modes mediated by common pathogens, elaborates the spatiotemporal regulatory rules of TLR signaling across acute inflammation, immune deviation and chronic fibrosis stages, and summarizes pathogen-oriented intervention strategies as well as relevant translational bottlenecks. Cumulative clinical evidence confirms that pathogen-TLR matching determines inflammatory phenotypes and severity of infectious myocarditis, and that the spatiotemporal dynamics of TLR signaling directly govern disease progression. Notably, TLR-targeted therapies must adhere to the core principles of pathogen specificity and staged precise regulation. This review provides a systematic theoretical basis for precise immunodiagnosis and individualized immunotherapy of infectious myocarditis.\n\nID: 42528137\nTitle: Capless self-amplifying mRNA vaccine induces dose-sparing protective immunity against HPAI clade 2.3.4.4 H5 virus in mice.\nAbstract: Self-amplifying mRNA (samRNA) vaccines can induce potent immune responses at lower doses than conventional non-replicating mRNA vaccines; however, large RNA size and manufacturing considerations associated with 5' capping remain important challenges. Here, we developed a capless samRNA (CLsamRNA) vaccine platform derived from a Coxsackievirus B5 replicon that uses IRES-mediated cap-independent translation. Systematic optimization of key genetic elements enhanced antigen expression from the CLsamRNA backbone. Using reporter RNAs, LNP-formulated CLsamRNA showed rapid early expression and RNA amplification, with expression kinetics distinct from VEEV-based saRNA and nucleoside-modified mRNA comparators. When encoding the hemagglutinin antigen of highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses, CLsamRNA induced potent immune responses after LNP formulation. In mouse models, CLsamRNA induced potent neutralizing antibody responses, cross-reactive activity against clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus, Th1-skewed humoral immunity, and strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses. CLsamRNA also elicited platform-specific early inflammatory and lymph-node immune gene signatures associated with antigen presentation, costimulation, and cellular immune priming. Notably, a minimal 0.01 \u03bcg dose of CLsamRNA conferred complete protection against lethal H5N8 influenza virus challenge in BALB/c mice. These findings support CLsamRNA as a distinct cap-independent RNA vaccine platform with dose-sparing protective efficacy against HPAI H5 viruses.\n\nID: 42524760\nTitle: Impact of ABO Blood System on Immunogenicity and Vaccine Efficacy of COVID-19 Booster Vaccination-A Population-Based Study of 3066 Individuals.\nAbstract: ABO blood group has been associated with SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility. Little data exist regarding the impact of ABO and Rhesus (Rh[D]) type on breakthrough infections and antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination. This multicenter, population-based cohort study includes individuals \u2265\u200918\u2009years who received a booster vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) and neutralizing antibodies against wild-type (WT) virus and Omicron variant were assessed at baseline, after 4\u2009weeks and after 6 months. At 6\u2009months follow-up, self-reported ABO and Rh(D) type, time to, and severity of breakthrough infections were collected. In total, 3066 participants (mean age 49 [35-59], 62% female) were included in multivariable regression models, showing no association of anti-RBD and neutralizing antibodies against wild-type and Omicron variant with ABO or Rh(D) 4\u2009weeks after booster vaccination. Time-dependent Cox regression analysis showed significantly lower rates of breakthrough infections in patients with AB (hazard ratio [HR] 0.67 [0.50-0.90]; p\u2009=\u20090.008) compared to O, even after adjustment for relevant covariates and a trend for blood group B (HR 0.82 [0.66-1.01]; p\u2009=\u20090.06) compared to O; there were no associations between Rh(D) and breakthrough infection rates or between observed (asymptomatic to moderate) COVID-19 symptom severity and ABO or Rh(D) blood group. ABO or Rh(D) blood group was not associated with COVID-19 severity or antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Breakthrough infections were least common in blood groups AB and B. Although our data do not support previously discussed protective effects of anti-A/B/Rh(D) agglutinins, differences in ABO group appear relevant for Omicron transmission.\n\nID: 42506635\nTitle: Mapping Human Clinical Evidence for Chikungunya Vaccines: A Scoping Review of Immunogenicity, Durability, and Safety.\nAbstract: Two chikungunya (CHIKV) vaccines have now been licensed, but the human clinical evidence base remains fragmented across vaccine platforms, populations, follow-up periods, and safety settings, complicating product-specific interpretation of durability and benefit-risk. We conducted a PRISMA-ScR-guided scoping review of human CHIKV vaccine evidence indexed in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from January 2000 to June 2026. After screening 890 records, we included 77 sources of evidence and mapped them at both the record level and the candidate/product level. The included evidence clustered around a limited number of vaccine programs, including TSI-GSD-218, VRC-CHKVLP059-00-VP/PXVX0317/Vimkunya, MV-CHIK/V184, VLA1553/IXCHIQ, ChAdOx1 Chik, and mRNA-1388/VAL-181388. Late-stage and post-authorization evidence was concentrated mainly in VLA1553/IXCHIQ and PXVX0317/Vimkunya, whereas viral-vector and mRNA candidates remained largely restricted to early-phase adult studies. Evidence has expanded to adolescents and adults aged \u226565 years for selected products but remains limited or product-specific for children, pregnant individuals, immunocompromised populations, and medically complex older adults. Short-term trial safety data were characterized primarily by mild or moderate local and systemic reactogenicity, while post-authorization safety evidence remains recent and concentrated in licensed products. This scoping review provides a structured evidence map for CHIKV vaccine development and highlights priorities for standardized immunogenicity assessment, longer-term durability data, broader population representation, endemic-region effectiveness studies, and continued post-marketing surveillance.\n\nID: 42506623\nTitle: Strain Matching of Seasonal Influenza Vaccines and Emergence of Neuraminidase Inhibitor Resistance in China from 2015 to 2025.\nAbstract: Background: Influenza remains a major global public health threat, and vaccination is one of the most effective preventive measures. However, frequent antigenic drift and occasional antigenic shift, along with the lead time required for vaccine development and regional differences in the evolution of circulating strains, may lead to mismatches between WHO-recommended vaccine strains and circulating viruses. In addition, antiviral resistance further complicates precise influenza prevention and control. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the concordance of vaccine strains with circulating influenza viruses and the emergence of neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) resistance in China. Methods: Data on antigenic characterization and antiviral susceptibility testing were extracted from weekly influenza surveillance reports published by the Chinese National Influenza Center from 2015 to 2025. Viral evolution, substitutions at key antigenic sites, and resistance-associated mutations were further examined based on sequences of circulating influenza viruses in China. Results: The overall vaccine match rates were 95.72% (95% CI: 94.02-97.43%) for A(H1N1)pdm09, 58.96% (95% CI: 54.93-62.96%) for A(H3N2), 64.45% (95% CI: 59.49-69.41%) for B/Victoria, and 95.19% (95% CI: 91.32-99.05%) for B/Yamagata in China during the 2015-2025 influenza seasons, with marked year-to-year fluctuations observed particularly for A(H3N2) and B/Victoria. The vaccine matching for cell-based A(H3N2) (70.41%, 95% CI: 65.04-75.77%) vaccine reference strains was significantly higher than that for egg-based A(H3N2) (48.09%, 95% CI: 42.63-53.55%) vaccine reference strains. Sequence analysis indicated that circulating A(H3N2) viruses showed the greatest genetic divergence from the matched egg-based vaccine strains (2.71%, 95% CI: 2.66-2.75%). Phenotypic NAI resistance was detected only in A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses, with resistance rates of 0.18% (95% CI: 0.07-0.45%) in 2023, 3.47% (95% CI: 2.63-4.57%) in 2024, and 3.01% (95% CI: 2.46-3.68%) in 2025. Neuraminidase (NA) sequence analysis showed that the key NAI resistance-associated substitution H274Y has been detected in A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses since 2015, at relatively high frequencies observed during 2015-2018. The mutation re-emerged in 2023 and presented increase trends thereafter, although no A(H1N1) pdm09 circulated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Antigenic concordance between vaccine strains and circulating A(H3N2) or B/Victoria viruses showed marked year-to-year fluctuations in China. Cell-based A(H3N2) vaccine reference strains showed higher antigenic concordance than egg-based strains, supporting further consideration of vaccine production platforms in A(H3N2)-predominant seasons. Phenotypic NAI resistance in circulating A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses was detected from 2023 onward in China, whereas resistance-associated NA substitutions had been detected earlier at the sequence level.\n\nID: 42506621\nTitle: Challenges, Advances, and Future Directions in Nipah Virus Vaccine Development.\nAbstract: Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic pathogen. Since its discovery in 1998, recurrent epidemics have occurred in South and Southeast Asia, with a case fatality rate ranging from 40% to 100%. The outbreak in West Bengal, India in early 2026 has once again highlighted its severe threat to public health. To date, no licensed human vaccines or specific therapeutics against NiV are available worldwide. This review systematically summarizes the breakthroughs in antigen design for NiV vaccines, with a focus on conformational stabilization of prefusion F (pre-F) protein, chimeric G/F antigens, and multivalent nanoparticle strategies. In addition, we comparatively analyze the clinical progress of mainstream vaccine platforms, including viral vectors, mRNA and subunit vaccines. Given the sporadic nature and high mortality of NiV infection, the conventional licensing pathway relying on large-scale phase III clinical trials faces substantial practical obstacles. Accordingly, this article discusses adaptive adjustments in regulatory science. We propose several strategies to accelerate the clinical translation and emergency stockpiling of NiV vaccine candidates, including establishing unified correlates of protection thresholds, coordinating multinational regulatory resources, and optimizing the implementation of Animal Rule.\n\nID: 42506620\nTitle: Rapid LC-MS Quantification of mRNA Vaccine Capping Efficiency via High-Specificity RNase H Cleavage and Metal Adduct Suppressed Chromatography.\nAbstract: Background: The m7G cap structure, which mimics the natural cap of eukaryotic mRNA, is a critical determinant of mRNA vaccine efficacy, safety, and stability. However, its precise quantification remains challenging due to complex impurity profiles and the high physicochemical similarity between the target cap and related impurities. Although liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is widely employed for this purpose, current methodologies still face significant limitations, including labor-intensive sample preparation, low analytical throughput, poor reproducibility in quantifying low-level impurities, and a lack of universally applicable strategies across diverse mRNA vaccine platforms. Methods: We systematically optimized sample preparation and LC-MS detection workflows. RNase H-mediated cleavage was compared with DNAzymes, guide DNA probes were rationally designed, and thermostable RNase H was introduced for one-step denaturation and cleavage. To establish an accurate, efficient, and universal sample preparation workflow. Chromatographic conditions were optimized using an ion-pairing reagent system to suppress ESI-MS metal adducts. Eliminating sample purification improves recovery, reduces manual handling errors, and boosts assay efficiency. Results: Through optimally designed guide DNA probes, RNase H cleavage specificity reached \u226598% with high cleavage efficiency, offering higher efficiency than DNAzyme. Furthermore, the incorporation of thermostable RNase H enabled a single-step workflow combining high-temperature denaturation and site-specific cleavage, substantially streamlining sample preparation. On the chromatographic side, optimization of the ion-pairing reagent system effectively suppressed metal adduct formation in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This advancement enabled direct injection of the 5' cap fragments without purification, achieving high-recovery quantification while demonstrating broad compatibility across mainstream LC-MS platforms. The optimized assay reduces the total analytical workflow from 4~6 h to under 1.5 h. Conclusions: Combining high accuracy, robustness, and broad platform compatibility, this method offers a universal, high-throughput analytical solution for mRNA vaccine quality control and continuous process development.\n\nID: 42502642\nTitle: Exploration of the Potential Mechanisms of Yinqiao Powder in Treating Atopic Dermatitis: Integrating Network Pharmacology, Single-Cell, and Bulk RNA Sequencing.\nAbstract: Yinqiao powder (YQP) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula that has been widely used clinically to treat infectious diseases such as respiratory tract infections, influenza, and pneumonia, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. This study aimed to investigate its therapeutic potential for atopic dermatitis (AD) and to identify its key target genes and active components. We performed mRNA transcriptome sequencing on blood samples collected from 15 adult patients with AD and 15 adult healthy controls. Potential targets were identified by intersecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with known YQP target genes. Key genes were pinpointed using protein-protein interaction networks and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. We estimated immune cell proportions, constructed regulatory networks, and used molecular docking to predict active ingredients. Single-cell RNA sequencing data (GSE180885) was also analyzed to identify key cell types and track gene expression. Fifty-two potential target genes were identified. From these, four key genes-CTNNB1, ERBB2, TP53, and HIF1A-were highlighted, potentially involved in carbon metabolism and organelle biosynthesis. A nomogram model based on these genes showed strong predictive power for AD. Immune analysis linked resting CD4+ memory T cells with TP53 and HIF1A. Molecular docking suggested beta-carotene, aloe-emodin, and quercetin as potential active ingredients binding to these key targets. Single-cell analysis identified keratinocytes as a key population, with key gene expression varying during their differentiation. This study indicates that CTNNB1, ERBB2, TP53, and HIF1A are key targets of YQP in AD treatment, with beta-carotene, aloe-emodin, and quercetin as likely active components. These findings provide a theoretical basis for using YQP in AD therapy.\n\nID: 42491063\nTitle: Dendritic cells in cancer immunotherapy: functional barriers, reprogramming strategies and translational challenges.\nAbstract: Cancer immunotherapy depends on effective antigen presentation and T cell activation. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs), especially dendritic cells (DCs), play a central role in this process by capturing tumor antigens, processing them, and presenting antigenic peptides to T cells through major histocompatibility complex molecules. However, APC function is often impaired within the tumor microenvironment. Reduced antigen presentation, weak co-stimulatory signaling, suppressive cytokines, metabolic stress, and inhibition by myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells all limit effective antitumor immunity. These defects contribute to immune escape and reduce the efficacy of current immunotherapies. In this mini review, we summarize the key roles of APCs in antitumor immune responses and discuss major APC-based therapeutic strategies, including dendritic cell vaccines, nanoparticle-based antigen delivery, mRNA vaccine platforms, DC-targeted delivery systems, and oncolytic virus-based combinations. We also highlight functional reprogramming approaches that aim to restore APC activity through innate immune activation, blockade of immunosuppressive cytokines, and metabolic regulation. Although these strategies have shown strong potential, their clinical translation remains limited by tumor antigen heterogeneity, complex manufacturing, poor immune infiltration, and persistent immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Future APC-based immunotherapy should move beyond single antigen presentation enhancement and focus on integrated immune remodeling. Rational combinations with immune checkpoint blockade, innate immune agonists, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biomarker-guided patient selection may help generate stronger and more durable antitumor responses.\n\nID: 42486137\nTitle: mRNA vaccines for multidrug-resistant bacteria: promise, challenges, and microbiome-informed strategies.\nAbstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has made multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), particularly ESKAPE-E pathogens (including Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp, and Escherichia coli), a major threat to modern medicine. Although novel antibiotics, antimicrobial stewardship, and infection prevention remain essential, such interventions are unlikely to offset projected AMR trends on their own. Vaccines can help to mitigate AMR by preventing infections and reducing antibiotic exposure. WHO estimates that vaccines targeting 23 pathogens (excluding Neisseria gonorrhoea) could reduce global antibiotic need by 22%, equivalent to 2\u00b75 billion defined daily doses annually. In the mRNA era, modular vaccine platforms enable rapid design of protein antigens and multivalent constructs, with emerging preclinical proof of concept against selected bacterial pathogens. In this Personal View, we argue that mRNA vaccines should be considered enabling platforms for selected protein-based MDRO targets rather than universal solutions for antibacterial vaccine development. We propose a microbiome-informed framework that distinguishes systemic protection from mucosal decolonisation and aligns antigen selection, delivery route, and trial endpoints with colonisation dynamics, microbiome resilience, and AMR reduction goals.\n\nID: 42486052\nTitle: Real-world effectiveness and safety of protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (BEEHIVE trial).\nAbstract: Real-world vaccine effectiveness (VE) and relative VE (rVE) data of protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections inform policy recommendations and reinforce public confidence. The study aim was to assess the safety and VE of the 2023-2024 protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5) in a real-world setting. The single-site, pragmatic BEEHIVE clinical trial was conducted among participants aged \u226518\u00a0years from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area, who had previously received \u22652 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, from November 17, 2023, through September 9, 2024. Randomized participants received a protein-based or mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a double-blind manner. An unblinded, nonrandomized comparator control group that did not receive a study vaccine was also enrolled. The primary aim measured VE between the randomized and comparator groups. The secondary aim was to measure rVE between the 2 vaccine platforms. In the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, VE and rVE were estimated using a proportional-hazards model for symptomatic infections confirmed by weekly self-administered rapid antigen tests (RATs) over 24\u00a0weeks, adjusted for covariates. Reactogenicity and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded. Randomized cohorts (N\u00a0=\u00a0909; protein-based, n\u00a0=\u00a0452; mRNA, n\u00a0=\u00a0457) were largely well-balanced with some differences in baseline covariates versus the comparator group (n\u00a0=\u00a0279), mostly age-related. The mITT population had 142 RAT-confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases with an adjusted VE of 43.6% (95% CI, 18.3-61.0); rVE (protein-based vs mRNA) was -26.7% (90% CI, -78.6% to 10.1%) and did not reach statistical significance. Safety and reactogenicity were comparable to previously reported findings, with no serious study vaccine-related TEAEs, myocarditis/pericarditis, hospitalization, or death. This is one of the earliest real-world trials evaluating the VE of the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5). These results suggest that both protein-based and mRNA vaccines are well-tolerated and significantly reduce the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.\n\nID: 42486020\nTitle: Salmonella vaccines in poultry: An update on the current status.\nAbstract: Salmonella can cause significant infections in poultry, including fowl typhoid and pullorum disease, while Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) causes mild to severe diarrheal diseases and is potentially zoonotic. NTS, a significant cause of gastroenteritis in humans, is often underestimated in developing countries, where contaminated chicken or poultry products are the main drivers of its spread. Various whole-cell killed, live-attenuated, or subunit vaccines are available for poultry salmonellosis. Poultry producers prefer killed vaccines owing to their safety and minimal public health risks. However, killed vaccines do not eliminate the carrier status and require parenteral administration. Live-attenuated vaccines are supposed to elicit strong mucosal and cell-mediated immune responses, which may enhance protection; however, their use requires additional biosafety considerations. In addition, certain subunit vaccines, including OMV-based vaccines and nanoparticle vaccines, can also elicit strong mucosal, humoral, and cell-mediated immune responses. Vaccine platforms, including mRNA vaccines and multi-epitope-based vaccines, have not been extensively studied against poultry salmonellosis, though they can be evaluated to develop effective vaccine formulations. Challenges, including spatiotemporal variation in serovar distribution, operational difficulties in implementing vaccination programs, and limited awareness among poultry producers and the public, need to be addressed alongside considerations of vaccine efficacy and longevity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the available Salmonella vaccines for poultry, including their merits and demerits, recent advancements in vaccine development, and the challenges associated with implementing immunization programs, particularly in developing countries.\n\nID: 42473680\nTitle: Joint Publication of the First 2024-2025 National Influenza Annual Report by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and the National Health Insurance Service.\nAbstract: The first National Influenza Annual Report was jointly released by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) and the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) to provide a comprehensive analysis of influenza activity and the burden of disease during the 2024-2025 influenza season. Influenza activity was analyzed using patient- and pathogen-based surveillance data, medical costs data, vaccination coverage, and vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates. Data were obtained from the KDCA sentinel surveillance system, the National Immunization Program, and the NHIS national health information databases. VE was estimated using both a target trial emulation (TTE)-based retrospective cohort design to assess age-specific outcomes and an interrupted time series (ITS) method with dynamic cohort to evaluate time-varying protection. During the 2024-2025 season, influenza-like illness peaked at 99.8 cases per 1,000 outpatients in the first week of 2025, the highest level recorded since 2016. The overall influenza virus detection rate was 15.2%, with a winter wave dominated by influenza A and a spring wave of influenza B. NHIS claims identified approximately 3.86 million influenza cases, indicating a decline from the previous season. Despite this decrease in case numbers, total medical costs continued to increase in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 period, reaching 629.5 billion KRW, with hospitalization accounting for 77.3% of the total costs. Vaccination coverage was 70.0% among children aged 6 months to 13 years and 81.6% among adults aged 65 years and older. The TTE analysis showed that VE against severe outcomes ranged from 63.7% to 74.6%, whereas VE against mortality ranged from 52.2% to 81.1%, depending on the age group. The ITS method demonstrated that protection against hospitalization (VE 41.8%) persisted for up to 2 months after vaccination, whereas protection against mortality (VE 38.1%) persisted for up to 6 months. Overall, influenza vaccination was estimated to have prevented 143,868 influenza cases, including outpatient and inpatient cases, as well as 3,506 deaths. The findings presented in this annual report provide scientific evidence for optimizing national influenza prevention and response strategies and advancing immunization policy.\n\nID: 42465772\nTitle: Molecular signaling in coinfection: how M. tuberculosis and respiratory viruses rewire host immunity and alter TB outcomes.\nAbstract: Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) and respiratory viral infections remain major, intersecting global health challenges, and their co-occurrence imposes a disproportionate burden in high-HIV/high-TB regions such as sub-Saharan Africa. Coinfection biology is heterogeneous and dynamic, driven by viral diversity including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A/B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), parainfluenza, metapneumovirus, rhinovirus, adenovirus, and bocavirus, and by the underlying TB stage, from latent and subclinical to active and reactivation disease. Innate sensing pathways, such as Toll-like receptors (TLR), retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING), converge during coinfection, reshaping type I interferon (IFN-I), Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-\u03baB), and AP-1-driven responses and triggering a network of autocrine and paracrine signaling that reprograms macrophages, dendritic cells, and T-cell subsets. This immune rewiring alters granuloma equilibrium through suppressed Th1/IFN-\u03b3 coordination, exaggerated Th17/IL-17-driven neutrophilia, and regulatory T-cell or IL-10-mediated dampening, which together destabilize macrophage activation and tissue architecture. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP)-driven matrix remodeling further integrate with these pathways, converting inflammatory signals into epithelial damage, cavitation, and fibrosis. Consequently, disease outcomes depend critically on timing, viral burden, pathogen order, host immune endotype, and TB stage, such that the same virus can either preserve containment or drive progression depending on the local immunological context. Importantly, the effects of respiratory viral coinfection vary across the TB disease continuum, influencing early granuloma formation, latent infection, reactivation risk, and established disease through distinct immunological mechanisms. Host-directed therapies (HDT) targeting interferon, IL-1, TNF, inflammasome, or metabolic checkpoints hold mechanistic promise but exhibit variable clinical translation, underscoring the need for precision approaches that integrate stage- and endotype-specific biomarkers. This narrative review proposes an integrated systems framework that links viral sensing, immune rewiring, granuloma biology, and tissue-remodeling to TB-respiratory virus coinfection, and emphasizes how timing-aware, biomarker-guided strategies can refine diagnosis, clinical management, prognosis, and vaccine design in vulnerable populations.\n\nID: 42452771\nTitle: The Effect of COVID-19 Vaccines on Chronic Inflammatory Remodeling in NSTEMI Patients: A Galectin-3-Based Single-Center Study.\nAbstract: Background: This study evaluated the potential effects of different COVID-19 vaccine platforms (mRNA and inactivated) on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) through Galectin-3, a biomarker of chronic inflammation and fibrosis. It aimed to compare serum Galectin-3 levels among NSTEMI patients according to COVID-19 vaccination status and vaccine type. Methods: A total of 75 patients with NSTEMI were prospectively enrolled and categorized into three groups: inactivated vaccine recipients (n = 25), mRNA vaccine recipients (n = 25), and unvaccinated controls (n = 25). Serum Galectin-3 levels were measured to assess chronic inflammatory status. Additionally, markers of acute myocardial injury and inflammatory response were analyzed. Results: Galectin-3 levels were similar across the inactivated vaccine, mRNA vaccine, and unvaccinated NSTEMI group, with no statistically significant difference observed (p = 0.481). Although troponin I levels and acute inflammatory cell burden were higher in vaccinated patients compared with the unvaccinated NSTEMI group, Galectin-3 levels remained comparable among all groups. No significant differences in Galectin-3 levels were observed according to vaccination status or vaccine type. Conclusions: In this exploratory cohort of NSTEMI patients, serum Galectin-3 levels did not differ significantly according to COVID-19 vaccination status or vaccine type. These findings suggest no detectable association between vaccination history and Galectin-3 levels in the study population. Larger prospective studies with longitudinal follow-up are needed to confirm these observations.\n\nID: 42448011\nTitle: Innate immune surveillance and nucleic acid sensing: Gatekeepers of inflammatory cell death in respiratory infectious diseases.\nAbstract: Respiratory infections caused by viral pathogens, including influenza A virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and SARS-CoV-2, as well as bacterial pathogens, remain major contributors to global morbidity and mortality. The outcomes of these infections are largely determined by how the host innate immune system detects pathogen-derived nucleic acids and regulates subsequent inflammatory responses. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) located in endosomal and cytosolic compartments, including toll-like receptors, RIG-I-like receptors, absent in melanoma 2, and Z-DNA-binding protein 1, as well as the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathway, recognize viral and bacterial nucleic acids and initiate signaling cascades that promote cytokine production and antimicrobial defense. However, dysregulated PRR activation can trigger inflammatory programmed cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, and PANoptosis. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding how nucleic acid sensing orchestrates inflammatory cell death during respiratory infections, with particular emphasis on pathogen- and cell type-specific mechanisms that shape disease outcomes. We further highlight the dual nature of these pathways, which are essential for pathogen clearance but can drive immunopathology when excessively activated. Defining how nucleic acid-sensing pathways shape inflammatory cell death in respiratory infections may guide host-directed therapies that enhance pathogen clearance while preserving lung function. Overall, the field remains constrained by the predominance of virus-focused and murine preclinical studies, whereas bacterial nucleic acid sensing during respiratory infections remains poorly defined. Future studies should integrate major bacterial infection models with human-relevant respiratory epithelial systems to better translate PRR-mediated immune mechanisms into host-directed therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42433912\nTitle: Need for increasing uptake of influenza vaccination and investing in novel vaccines for paediatric influenza prevention.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42428244\nTitle: The application of CRISPR gene-editing technology in influenza prevention and control.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) and influenza B virus (IBV) remain major global public health threats because of their rapid antigenic evolution and efficient human-to-human transmission. In contrast, influenza C virus (ICV) and influenza D virus (IDV) generally exhibit narrower host ranges and milder pathogenicity, yet their potential for interspecies transmission and zoonotic spillover still warrants attention. Conventional prevention strategies, such as inactivated and live-attenuated vaccines, suffer from prolonged development timelines and diminished efficacy against rapidly evolving viral strains. However, antiviral drugs are increasingly limited by the rapid emergence of drug-resistant variants. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) gene-editing technology has emerged as a promising platform for influenza prevention and control owing to its programmability and precise targeting capability. In this paper, we summarize recent advances in CRISPR-based strategies for influenza prevention and control. The RNA-targeting CRISPR-associated protein 13 (Cas13) system can recognize conserved viral RNA sequences and suppress replication across influenza subtypes, whereas the DNA-targeting CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system can edit host susceptibility genes and thereby reduce cellular permissiveness to infection. In addition, lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based delivery systems have become important tools for improving the in vivo delivery and expression of CRISPR components by enhancing targeting efficiency and reducing immunogenicity. CRISPR-based diagnostics, such as Specific High-sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter unLOCKing (SHERLOCK), further expand the clinical utility of this technology by enabling rapid and sensitive detection of influenza viruses. Despite these advances, substantial challenges remain, including delivery inefficiency, off-target activity, long-term safety concerns, and the risk of viral escape. With continued technological refinement and careful translational development, CRISPR may become a versatile tool for influenza prevention, diagnosis, and therapy.\n\nID: 42424678\nTitle: Shashen Maidong decoction alleviates influenza A virus-induced lung injury by modulating ZBP1-mediated PANoptosome assembly.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) infection characteristically induces lung injury through acute inflammation and epithelial barrier breakdown. Among the pathogenic mechanisms involved, Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1)-dependent PANoptosis plays a central role. While Shashen Maidong decoction (SMD) demonstrates clinical efficacy in respiratory conditions, the molecular mechanisms by which it modulates this particular mode of cell death require further elucidation. This study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of SMD against IAV-induced lung injury and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms, with particular emphasis on the ZBP1-PANoptosis pathway. The protective effects of SMD were evaluated in an IAV-induced lung injury mouse model. The chemical profile and absorbed constituents of SMD were identified using UPLC-MS/MS. Key signaling pathways were predicted through an integrated analysis of network pharmacology and transcriptomics, followed by in silico assessment of the binding potential to ZBP1 using molecular docking and dynamics simulations. To systematically examine the mechanism, specifically the modulation of ZBP1-PANoptosome complex formation and cell death markers, we utilized a series of molecular assays including Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP). SMD treatment significantly ameliorated multiple IAV-induced pathologies, including body weight loss, pulmonary edema, histological injury, and pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Unlike oseltamivir, which significantly reduced infectious viral titers, SMD did not markedly alter viral NP and M mRNA levels or viral titers under these experimental conditions. Nevertheless, SMD substantially improved alveolar barrier function, as demonstrated by reduced BALF protein content and enhanced expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins. Integrated analysis of network pharmacology and transcriptomics revealed significant enrichment of inflammation-, programmed cell death-, apoptosis-, and necroptosis-related pathways, while ZBP1 emerged as a convergent candidate target. Based on the established role of ZBP1 in IAV-induced PANoptosis, ZBP1-mediated PANoptosis signaling was therefore selected as a candidate mechanistic axis for subsequent experimental assessment. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suggested a potential interaction between ZBP1 and 18\u03b2-glycyrrhetinic acid, a representative serum-absorbed candidate constituent of SMD. Mechanistic investigations revealed that SMD suppressed ZBP1 expression and attenuated downstream activation of pyroptotic, apoptotic, and necroptotic markers. Furthermore, Co-IP and triple-immunofluorescence analyses showed reduced association and colocalization among ZBP1, RIPK3, and Caspase-8, consistent with reduced PANoptosome assembly. SMD exerted protective effects against IAV-induced lung injury in association with ZBP1 downregulation, reduced association of PANoptosome-related components, preserved alveolar epithelial barrier function, and dampened inflammatory cascades. This study provides preliminary evidence for the molecular basis of SMD in modulating the ZBP1-PANoptosis pathway, providing scientific rationale for host-directed traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) strategies in severe influenza management.\n\nID: 42424000\nTitle: Immunotherapeutic modalities for combating multidrug-resistant bacteria: therapeutic promises of antibodies and next-generation vaccines.\nAbstract: There is a global rise of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains because of the use, misuse, and overuse of antibiotics, which is further causing major challenges in treating infections in clinical settings. Since 2000, only a few new antibiotics have been approved, and some of them have already been undermined because of the emergence of resistant bacteria. Pathogen-specific antibodies have the potential to serve as an alternative to antibiotics. These antibodies can bind to targets that are specific to the invading pathogens. Nonetheless, current advances in antibody engineering and molecular biology have allowed the generation of homogenous, defined, fully human and/or humanized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with a single antigen-specificity to target pathogens. Furthermore, the generation of mAbs only needs an antigen and an immunized or immune individual or an immunization platform. The emergence of MDR bacteria has greatly decreased the effectiveness of currently available antimicrobials, which has motivated the development of next-generation vaccines that are carefully designed to fight antibiotic resistance. Unlike traditional vaccines, vaccine platforms like recombinant protein, mRNA, and DNA vaccines are more innovative and effective in combating MDR-associated infections. In this review, the roles of both mAbs and next-generation vaccines against antibiotic-resistant infections, their mechanisms, preclinical and clinical trial-associated findings, and the advantages of using next-generation vaccines over traditional vaccines have been discussed. Moreover, the use of innovative tools like immunoinformatics and reverse vaccinology in developing next-generation vaccines against MDR bacteria has also been discussed in this review.\n\nID: 42415809\nTitle: A visualization analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine for influenza prevention and treatment: advances, hotspots, and future trends.\nAbstract: As an acute respiratory infectious disease, influenza continues to impose a substantial public health burden worldwide. This study aims to systematically review the progress of research on the treatment of influenza with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from 2005 to 2025, identify current research hotspots, and forecast future development trends, in order to provide a clear and systematic reference framework for subsequent research. A bibliometric and scientometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), PubMed, and Scopus databases. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, the retrieved records underwent a comprehensive deduplication process and stringent quality control checks. By comprehensively applying CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R-based Bibliometrix package, metrics and visualization were performed across multiple dimensions, including publication volume, geographical contribution, annual trends, national/regional influence, core authors and institutions, and keywords. A total of 1,527 publications were included in this study. Since 2014, publication output in this field has shown significant growth, with a rapid upward trend emerging after 2020. At the national and institutional level, China ranked first globally in both the number of publications and total citation frequency. Research institutions in China not only serve as the dominant force in this field but also act as hubs for international collaboration. Notable contributions were made by institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Journal analysis revealed that the Journal of Ethnopharmacology is the most influential journal in this domain. In terms of scholarly impact, Yang Zifeng ranked first in both h-index and publication output, establishing them as the most prolific and influential core scholar in the field. Keyword analysis indicated that research focuses on core themes such as \"herbal medicine\" and \"antiviral activity.\" The evolutionary trajectory demonstrates a shift from traditional clinical practice toward modern mechanistic investigation. Driven by emerging public health events such as COVID-19, the field has rapidly integrated cutting-edge methodologies like network pharmacology, reflecting distinct characteristics of contemporary responsiveness and interdisciplinary convergence. This analysis confirms that TCM for influenza has matured into a structured and interdisciplinary research field. Substantial evidence supports its multi-component and multi-target therapeutic model as a clinically effective strategy against influenza. Future efforts should prioritize the integration of mechanistic insights with standardized clinical translation to enhance global antiviral preparedness.\n\nID: 42401363\nTitle: Cross-neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 BA.3.2.2 lineage by JN.1 mRNA vaccine-induced immunity.\nAbstract: The SARS-CoV-2 BA.3.2.2 sublineage has emerged globally as the dominant branch of BA.3.2 by late 2025, yet its antigenic relationship with JN.1 vaccine-induced immunity remains unclear. We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses in 25 JN.1 mRNA vaccinees against eight variants, stratified by anti-nucleocapsid antibody serostatus. Postvaccination titers increased significantly against all variants in both N antibody-negative and -positive groups. Cross-neutralization against BA.3.2.2 was detected in both groups despite lower titers compared to JN.1. Antigenic cartography revealed that BA.3.2.2 was antigenically isolated from all JN.1-descendant variants. AZD3152/sipavibart retained potent neutralization against BA.3.2.2 but completely lost activity against all F456L-harboring JN.1-descendant variants, while VYD222/pemivibart and SA55 maintained broad activity. Retention of wild-type F456 in BA.3.2.2 preserves class 1/2 antibody epitopes, providing a mechanistic basis for cross-neutralization and suggesting a potential therapeutic window for sipavibart should BA.3.2.2 expand globally, pending clinical confirmation.\n\nID: 42398208\nTitle: Abrus cantoniensis \u03b1-glucan-like polysaccharide alleviates influenza via gut microbial acetate to activate free fatty acid receptor 2/ mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein/interferon-beta pathway.\nAbstract: The gut microbiota is critical for host defense against influenza. Polysaccharides are known for their microbiota-modulating and immunomodulatory activities; however, the anti-influenza efficacy of homogeneous Abrus cantoniensis polysaccharides (ACP) remains unexplored. The present study seeks to clarify the protective role of ACP in influenza and explore its underlying molecular mechanisms. Initially, crude polysaccharides were extracted via ethanol precipitation and subsequently purified by gel chromatography. Systematic structural characterization of ACP was then performed using carbohydrate chemistry techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The therapeutic efficacy of ACP was assessed by monitoring various indicators such as body weight, survival rate, viral load, and pulmonary pathological changes in mouse models. Furthermore, to elucidate the biological mechanism underlying ACP's anti-influenza activity via regulation of pulmonary interferon-beta (IFN-\u03b2) immune networks by intestinal acetate-producing microbiota, multi-omics analyses integrating metagenomics, metabolomics, gene knockout, immunofluorescence, and Western blot were conducted. Finally, the potential anti-influenza effects of ACP via the gut-lung axis were evaluated based on in vivo and in vitro detection of protein expression of IFN-\u03b2, free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFAR2), and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS), as well as antiviral interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). In this study, we purified a novel polysaccharide, ACP-A1, with a backbone of\u21924)-\u03b1-D-Glcp-(1\u2192,\u21924)-\u03b2-D-Galp-(1\u2192, and \u21924,6)-\u03b1-D-Glcp-(1\u2192 linkages and \u03b1-D-Glcp-(1\u2192 branches at O-6. In H1N1-infected mice, oral ACP-A1 alleviated weight loss, increased survival, and reduced lung inflammation and viral load. Metagenomic and targeted metabolomic analyses showed that ACP-A1 enriched Limosilactobacillus reuteri and elevated acetate levels. Fecal microbiota transplantation, FFAR2 inhibition, and MAVS knockout experiments demonstrated that ACP-A1 enhances the FFAR2/MAVS/IFN-\u03b2 antiviral pathway via microbial-derived acetate. Collectively, our findings elucidate that ACP mitigates influenza virus-induced lung dysfunction by promoting the proliferation of acetate-producing gut microbiota, particularly Limosilactobacillus reuteri, and activating the FFAR2/MAVS/IFN-\u03b2 antiviral axis in pulmonary immune cells. These findings establish ACP-A1 as a natural polysaccharide regulating IFN-\u03b2 homeostasis, highlighting its potential for influenza prevention.\n\nID: 42396522\nTitle: COVID-19 Vaccine Reactogenicity Marks an Innate Inflammatory Response Associated With HLA Variation and Enhanced Protection.\nAbstract: Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has been central to mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic, although transient systemic side effects remain common and contribute to vaccine hesitancy. While previous studies have implicated HLA variation in COVID-19 vaccine reactogenicity, the mechanisms linking immunogenetic variation, inflammatory side effects, and protection remain poorly understood. Here, using a large deeply genotyped and phenotyped cohort, together with functional immunological analyses, we investigated the determinants of vaccine reactogenicity. In 50,535 vaccinated individuals, with replication in an independent cohort of 4,575 individuals, we confirmed a remarkably strong association between HLA-A*03:01 and systemic side effects following COVID-19 vaccination (OR = 1.36, CI = 1.31-1.41, p = 6.79 \u00d7 10-57). In contrast, HLA-B*08:01 was associated with reduced vaccine reactogenicity, that extended across both COVID-19 and influenza vaccines, suggesting separable antigen-specific and generalized determinants of vaccine reactogenicity. HLA-A*03:01 carriage was additionally associated with fewer breakthrough and recurrent SARS-CoV-2 infections, while individuals reporting stronger vaccine side effects exhibited reduced infection risk and milder disease course independent of HLA genotype. History of allergy was likewise associated with increased vaccine reactogenicity, consistent with a broader host predisposition to inflammatory responsiveness. Unexpectedly, despite the strong HLA association, we did not observe evidence of enhanced antigen-specific T-cell activation in HLA-A*03:01 + individuals. Instead, our immunological analyses pointed toward a prominent role for early inflammatory cytokine responses from monocytes, with inflammatory signatures correlating with vaccine side-effect severity selectively among HLA-A*03:01 + donors. Together, these findings support a model in which vaccine reactogenicity reflects the interaction of antigen-specific immunogenetic effects and broader innate inflammatory responsiveness. More broadly, our results suggest that transient vaccine side effects may represent a clinically observable correlate of protective immune activation.\n\nID: 42551939\nTitle: [AI in Cancer Pathology-Present Developments and Future Directions for Treatment Optimization].\nAbstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have substantially expanded the role of pathological image analysis beyond improvements in diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. These developments now enable the integration of histopathological images with non-image data, prediction of treatment response and prognosis, and reduction of the workload for medical professionals. In this review, we provide an overview of representative analytical methods for pathological images, as well as approaches for predicting biomarkers and therapeutic responsiveness directly from histological images. We summarize key studies across major cancer types, pan-cancer investigations, and examples that have been successfully implemented in clinical practice. Additionally, we introduce emerging frameworks such as quantitative analysis of cellular components and tumor microenvironments, pathology foundation models, mRNA expression-based treatment response prediction, integration with spatial transcriptomics data, and applications in clinical trial design. Despite this progress, several challenges remain, such as limited availability of large-scale, high-quality datasets, domain shift across institutions, lack of model interpretability, potential biases, and significant barriers to clinical implementation and regulatory approval. Nevertheless, future developments are expected to enable the simultaneous estimation of multiple biomarkers from a single pathological image, potentially eliminating the need for additional tests. Ultimately, such advances may facilitate rapid, patient-specific drug selection and contribute to more efficient and personalized cancer treatment.\n\nID: 42549682\nTitle: JI017 Sensitizes EGFR-T790M NSCLC to Erlotinib by Extinguishing the STAT3-Survivin Axis.\nAbstract: IntroductionFirst-generation EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC frequently lose efficacy as a result of the secondary EGFR-T790M mutation and a \"persistent-STAT3\" prosurvival pathway that sustains STAT3-survivin signaling in the face of EGFR inhibition. Preclinical evidence demonstrates that phytochemicals in the JI017 herbal formulation (2:1:1, Angelica gigas: processed Aconitum carmichaeli: Zingiber officinale) can reinstate erlotinib sensitivity in T790M-positive NSCLC, and relevant molecular mechanisms have been examined.MethodsAnti-proliferative activities were evaluated in A549 (EGFR-WT), HCC827 (EGFR \u039419), and H1975 (EGFR L858R/T790M) cells utilizing MTT assays, colony formation, and Annexin V/7-AAD flow cytometry. Mechanistic analyses included immunoblotting for p-EGFR (Tyr1068/1173), p-JAK2, p-STAT3 (Tyr705), PARP, Bcl-2, survivin, and AXL, complemented by RT-qPCR for BIRC5 and AXL transcripts. Drug interaction effects were determined using the Chou-Talalay combination index (CompuSyn). Anti-tumor efficacy was assessed in H1975 xenografts treated for 14 days with vehicle, JI017, erlotinib, or combination therapy; tumors underwent H&E staining and IHC for p-STAT3, survivin, and Ki-67.ResultsJI017 inhibited proliferation in all NSCLC cell lines tested, showing greatest effectiveness in H1975, where it triggered PARP cleavage and suppression of Bcl-2 and survivin expression. In H1975, co-treatment with JI017 and erlotinib led to synergistic growth inhibition, eradicated colony growth, and significantly elevated apoptotic cell populations compared to single treatments. While erlotinib alone reduced p-EGFR and p-JAK2, it left p-STAT3 largely unaltered, reflecting persistent-STAT3 activity. The combination regimen abrogated p-STAT3, further lowered p-EGFR and p-JAK2 levels, diminished BIRC5 mRNA, and decreased both AXL protein and transcript levels. In vivo, the drug combination achieved sustained tumor stasis relative to controls or monotherapy; combination group tumors displayed widespread necrosis and substantial decreases in p-STAT3, survivin, and Ki-67.DiscussionThese data support the suppression of STAT3-survivin as the primary mechanism by which JI017 sensitizes EGFR-T790M models to erlotinib. The consistent down-regulation of AXL indicates the inhibition of an AXL-mediated bypass that may maintain STAT3 signaling during EGFR blockade, although causality has yet to be confirmed. The marked in-vivo tumor inhibition without observable toxicity underscores the translational promise as a low-toxicity therapeutic adjunct.ConclusionsJI017 restores erlotinib sensitivity in EGFR-T790M NSCLC by inhibiting STAT3-survivin signaling and possibly reducing AXL-mediated resistance, resulting in durable antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo. Additional preclinical studies and early-phase clinical assessment of JI017 in combination with erlotinib are justified.\n\nID: 42532224\nTitle: Pre-existing and cross-reactive immunity to avian influenza H5N1 in humans: Implications for pandemic risk and vaccine strategies.\nAbstract: Due to the continuous evolution of Influenza A viruses (IAVs), novel strains with efficient human-to-human transmission may emerge and cause future pandemics. Among these, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 remains a major concern because of its impact on wildlife, livestock, and human health. The widespread circulation of H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, detected in hundreds of bird species and numerous mammals worldwide, highlights important changes in viral ecology and transmission, increasing its zoonotic and pandemic potential. This review summarizes current evidence on cross-reactive and cross-protective immunity to H5N1 in humans, focusing primarily on humoral immune responses. We examine the presence of pre-existing H5N1-reactive antibodies in individuals without known exposure and discuss how previous seasonal influenza infection or vaccination may contribute to their development. Particular attention is given to antibodies targeting conserved regions of hemagglutinin (HA), especially the stalk domain, as well as neuraminidase (NA), which may provide heterosubtypic protection. We also evaluate the ability of seasonal influenza vaccines and infections to induce cross-reactive responses against H5N1 and their potential role in partial protection or immune priming. Finally, we review current and emerging H5N1 vaccination strategies, including adjuvanted and mRNA-based platforms, and identify priorities for surveillance, population immunity assessment, and the development of broadly protective influenza vaccines.\n\nID: 42514871\nTitle: Analytical Characterization and Stability Assessment of RNA-Based Vaccines.\nAbstract: Ribonucleic acid-based vaccines have emerged as one of the most significant advances in modern vaccine development, demonstrating remarkable clinical success and enabling rapid responses to emerging infectious diseases. Despite their therapeutic potential, the development of these vaccines remains challenging because of the inherent instability of ribonucleic acid molecules, their susceptibility to degradation, and the complexity of formulation design. Ensuring product quality, stability, and biological performance therefore requires comprehensive analytical characterization throughout development, manufacturing, storage, and quality control. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current analytical strategies used to evaluate ribonucleic acid-based vaccine formulations. Key analytical approaches for assessing molecular integrity, purity, encapsulation efficiency, particle morphology, size distribution, surface characteristics, structural attributes, and biological potency are discussed. The review also examines the influence of formulation composition, lipid nanoparticle design, manufacturing processes, and storage conditions on vaccine stability and performance. In addition, major degradation pathways, critical quality attributes, and analytical challenges associated with quality assessment are highlighted. Furthermore, current regulatory considerations and limitations of existing analytical methodologies are discussed, particularly the challenges associated with establishing robust relationships between physicochemical properties and biological efficacy. The review emphasizes the importance of integrated multi-method analytical approaches for comprehensive characterization and quality assurance. Continued advances in analytical technologies and standardization efforts will be essential for supporting the development of safe, effective, and stable ribonucleic acid-based vaccines and for facilitating their broader pharmaceutical applications.\n\nID: 42486365\nTitle: Safety of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination during Pregnancy: Findings from Post-vaccination Follow-up Data from the Canadian National Vaccine Safety Network.\nAbstract: This communication reports post-vaccination follow-up findings from the Canadian National Vaccine Safety network on COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy. Among 6606 pregnant individuals who received an mRNA COVID-19 primary series, 4302 provided pregnancy status in follow-up surveys. Within seven months of vaccination, live birth was the most reported outcome, followed by ongoing pregnancy. Our descriptive analysis indicated pregnancy loss among those vaccinated in first trimester (8.9%) appears to be lower than expected and lower than the rates observed before the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings support the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, including early gestation, and current public health recommendations.\n\nID: 42480940\nTitle: FGFR1 induces RSK-dependent non-canonical activation of EphA2 during EMT.\nAbstract: Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays crucial roles in tumor progression, including cancer cell migration. Non-canonical phosphorylation of the receptor tyrosine kinase EphA2 at Ser-897 via the ERK-RSK pathway also induces cancer cell migration. This non-canonically phosphorylated form of EphA2 has been observed in mesenchymal cells and reported to maintain the functional properties of mesenchymal cells; however, the mechanism of this phosphorylation during EMT remains unclear. We herein demonstrated that level of Ser-897-phosphorylated EphA2 was increased during EMT through the FGFR1-ERK-RSK pathway. EphA2 mRNA expression was also induced, suggesting its modulation by Snail, Slug, and ZEB1. Furthermore, the FGFR1-EphA2 axis promoted cell motility and contributed to poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma. Collectively, these results suggest the importance of FGFR1 as a regulator of non-canonical EphA2 activation during EMT.\n\nID: 42477358\nTitle: Preserved SARS-CoV-2 T-cell responses despite impaired humoral immunity in children with profound B-cell lymphopenia.\nAbstract: Defining vaccine-induced protection in children with humoral immunodeficiency is essential to guide SARS-CoV-2 vaccination strategies in this high-risk population. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of SARS-CoV-2 immunity at 1, 6 and 12 months after a primary Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine series in 27 children aged 5-11 years with primary or secondary antibody deficiencies and 48 matched healthy controls. Functional T-cell responses were quantified by IFN-\u03b3 and IL-2 ELISpot, and SARS-CoV-2-specific B-cells and T-cells were assessed by spectral cytometry. Systemic and mucosal antibody responses were measured in serum and saliva, and neutralizing activity against ancestral and Omicron BA.5 strains was evaluated through microneutralization. Children with humoral immunodeficiency exhibited impaired systemic antibody responses after two mRNA doses, even after SARS-CoV-2 infection. A third dose improved humoral immunity in children with preserved B-cell compartments but did not rescue neutralizing antibody responses in those with severe B-cell lymphopenia. In contrast, preserved, polyfunctional SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses were observed in children with humoral immunodeficiency, including those with severe B-cell lymphopenia, and were higher in asymptomatic immunocompromised children. These findings reveal a dissociation between humoral failure and preserved cellular immunity in B-cell-deficient children, supporting timely vaccination and integration of T-cell responses into vaccine-response assessment when neutralizing antibodies are absent.\n\nID: 42470957\nTitle: METTL1-mediated N7-methylguanosine epitranscriptomic alterations modulate mRNA stability of neurodegenerative disease-associated genes following cobalt exposure.\nAbstract: Excessive cobalt exposure adversely affects the nervous system, yet the underlying neurotoxic mechanisms remain largely elusive. In the present study, using human neuroblastoma H4 cells exposed to cobalt chloride (CoCl\u2082) as an in vitro model, we demonstrate for the first time that CoCl\u2082 induces widespread alterations in m7G modification in genes associated with neurodegenerative disease. MeRIP-sequencing (MeRIP-seq) analysis revealed significant remodeling of m7G modification features, including sequence motifs, genomic distribution, and peak densities following CoCl\u2082 exposure. Differentially methylated genes were enriched in pathways governing nervous system function, neurotransmitter transport, neuronal projection guidance, axonogenesis, and axonal guidance. Integration of MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq data further demonstrated that CoCl\u2082 concurrently induced differential m7G methylation and expression of genes implicated in central nervous system function and neurodegenerative disease pathways. Mechanistically, CoCl\u2082 suppressed m7G modification levels by downregulating the methyltransferase complex components methyltransferase-like 1 (METTL1) and WD repeat domain 4 (WDR4). More importantly, METTL1 overexpression attenuated CoCl\u2082-induced downregulation of neurodegenerative disease-associated genes runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMA), and unc-5 netrin receptor C (UNC5C) by modulating mRNA decay. Moreover, MeRIP-qPCR further confirmed that cobalt exposure significantly reduced m7G modification on these transcripts, and this reduction was restored by METTL1 overexpression, thereby supporting a regulatory role of m7G modification in target mRNA expression. These findings establish a pivotal role for m7G modification in environmental neurotoxicant-induced neurodegeneration and reveal cobalt-related RNA regulatory paradigm that expands our understanding of heavy metal-driven epitranscriptomic dysregulation, and hence offering novel therapeutic targets.\n\nID: 42453006\nTitle: Molecular-Based Risk Prediction Models for Recurrence After Curative Treatment of Early-Stage Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.\nAbstract: Recurrence after curative treatment remains a major challenge in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Molecular-based prediction models may improve risk stratification and support personalized surveillance strategies. To identify and evaluate molecular-based risk prediction models for recurrence and survival following curative treatment of early-stage NSCLC. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and a published PROSPERO protocol. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies published between January 2000 and December 2023. Eligible studies reported performance metrics of molecular-based models predicting recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival, or overall survival following curative treatment for NSCLC. Data extraction was performed using the CHARMS framework, risk of bias was assessed using PROBAST, and model performance metrics were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Of 2447 records identified, five studies met the inclusion criteria. All models used Cox proportional hazards regression. Molecular predictors included mRNA expression profiles (n\u2009=\u20093), long noncoding RNAs (n\u2009=\u20091), and DNA methylation biomarkers (n\u2009=\u20091). Internal validation studies reported AUC values ranging from 0.66 to 0.89, with a pooled AUC of 0.77 (95% CI\u2009=\u20090.66-0.90; I2\u2009=\u200988.4%). Two externally validated models reported AUC values of 0.68-0.74, with a pooled AUC of 0.72 (95% CI\u2009=\u20090.68-0.75; I2\u2009=\u20090%). Two studies were considered high risk of bias due to inappropriate handling of missing data. Molecular-based prediction models demonstrate moderate-to-good discriminative performance for recurrence and survival in early-stage NSCLC. However, broader external validation and improved methodological rigor are required before routine clinical implementation. Trial Registration: PROSPERO identifier: CRD42024599641.\n\nID: 42450049\nTitle: Suppression of Post-Ischemic Cardiac Remodelling and Inflammatory Response by a Novel Sphingolipid Modifier, CIN038.\nAbstract: In patients with myocardial infarction (MI), the level of sphingolipids, such as ceramide (Cer), is elevated and is associated with an increased risk of progression towards heart failure (HF). Dihydroceramide desaturase 1 (DES1) catalyses the conversion of dihydroceramide (dhCer) into Cer in the de novo sphingolipid pathway. While pharmacological inhibition of DES1 has shown therapeutic benefits in metabolic disease and cancer models, its role in cardiac remodelling remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether pharmacological inhibition of DES1 using the novel compound, CIN038, attenuates cardiac remodelling following ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Three-month-old male C57Bl/6 mice underwent I/R or sham surgery (n = 8) and were treated with vehicle or CIN038 (50 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for 28 days. Cardiac function, molecular changes, and lipid profiles in circulation and liver were assessed at the endpoint. CIN038 reduced infarct size and cardiac myocyte hypertrophy compared to the I/R + vehicle group. Profibrotic signalling was reduced in the infarcted hearts, as evidenced by reduced expression of Col1a1, Col3a1, and Tgfb mRNA and decreased levels of \u03b1-SMA and TGF\u03b21 protein expression. Inflammatory signalling was attenuated with reduced ERK and NFkB phosphorylation and suppression of Il-6-STAT axis. Despite these structural and molecular improvements, no changes were observed in cardiac function. Lipidomic analysis revealed selective alterations in circulating and hepatic lipid species, including plasmalogen phosphatidylethanolamines and ether-linked triglycerides, suggesting modulation of lipid metabolism. Collectively, these findings indicate that CIN038 attenuates post-ischemic cardiac remodelling by suppressing inflammatory and profibrotic signalling, highlighting DES1 as a potential therapeutic target following MI.\n\nID: 42449630\nTitle: Potent Anti-Glioblastoma Effects of Next-Generation MNK Inhibitors.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant malignancies, driven in part by heterogeneous, therapy-resistant glioma stem cells (GSCs). Improving clinical outcomes will require innovative therapeutic approaches that target unique molecular vulnerabilities. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway drives tumor progression across multiple cancers, including GBM. MAPK-interacting kinases (MNK1/2) represent MAPK downstream effectors that phosphorylate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), a regulator of oncogenic and anti-apoptotic mRNA translation. We previously identified pharmacological MNK inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for GBM, but most available MNK inhibitors lack specificity. Methods: Novel MNK inhibitor compounds were developed using medicinal chemistry optimization and evaluated through molecular docking and kinome profiling analyses. Antineoplastic activity was assessed in established GBM cell lines and patient-derived glioma stem cell models cultured as 3-D neurospheres under stem cell-permissive conditions. Effects on MNK signaling, cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were analyzed using immunoblotting, flow cytometry, viability assays, wound healing assays, and 3-D invasion assays. In addition, a compound screen was performed to identify therapeutic agents that enhance MNK-targeted therapy, followed by validation using pharmacological inhibition and siRNA-mediated knockdown approaches. Results: Our next-generation MNK inhibitor NUCC-201893 exhibited high target specificity and greater potency than the lead compound NU808, effectively suppressing eIF4E phosphorylation, GBM cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, and invasion. Compound screening identified DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibition as a potent enhancer of MNK blockade. Pharmacological DNMT inhibition enhanced the cytotoxic effects of siRNA-mediated MNK1 knockdown, while concurrent pharmacological inhibition of MNKs and DNMT resulted in greater suppression of neurosphere growth and robust induction of apoptotic responses in GSCs. Conclusions: These findings identify dual MNK and DNMT inhibition as a promising combinatorial strategy that effectively triggers antineoplastic effects in GBM cells and GSCs.\n\nID: 42445106\nTitle: Transition from Free to Paid Vaccination: Willingness to Pay for COVID-19 Booster Doses in Vietnam in the Post-Pandemic Era.\nAbstract: As COVID-19 transitions to an endemic stage, low- and middle-income countries face fiscal challenges in sustaining fully subsidized vaccination programs. This study aims to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for COVID-19 booster doses and identify determinants of demand among Vietnamese adults during the transition to a user-fee mechanism. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2024 in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, involving 405 adult participants recruited through convenience sampling from a single hospital setting. Data were collected through direct interviews using a structured questionnaire. The Contingent Valuation Method utilizing a double-bounded dichotomous choice format was employed to elicit WTP. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to determine factors associated with willingness to pay, while linear regression analysis was applied to examine determinants of the payment amount. Among 405 participants, the estimated mean WTP for a COVID-19 booster dose was VND 410,046 (approx. US$ 15.7), whereas the median WTP was significantly lower at VND 201,307 (approx. US$ 7.7), indicating a right-skewed distribution. Multivariable logistic regression showed that married participants and those in higher income groups were more likely to report willingness to pay, whereas poor self-rated health and prior adverse events following vaccination were associated with lower willingness to pay. Linear regression analysis indicated that female participants and older individuals reported lower payment amounts, while those with a prior history of COVID-19 infection reported higher payment amounts. Notably, the median WTP was substantially lower than the estimated market price of imported mRNA vaccines, indicating a potential affordability gap between stated valuation and prevailing market prices for COVID-19 booster vaccination. These findings emphasize the necessity of flexible financing approaches to maintain vaccine uptake and prevent widening disparities during the transition to paid vaccination. As the study was conducted using convenience sampling at a single hospital, the findings should be interpreted with consideration of limited generalizability.\n\nID: 42444941\nTitle: Transmembrane mucin 21 drives lung adenocarcinoma growth by suppressing retinoic acid receptor \u03b2 signaling.\nAbstract: Lung cancer remains the most prevalent and lethal malignancy worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer accounting for >85% of cases and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) representing a predominant histological subtype. LUAD exhibits marked molecular heterogeneity, early dissemination, and a strong tendency for distant metastasis, but the key molecular circuits driving its progression remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate molecular markers governing the growth of LUAD, along with their underlying mechanisms. Mucin (MUC)21 expression was examined in LUAD patient tissues (16 paired fresh samples and 35 paraffin\u2011embedded cases) and cell lines (BEAS-2B, A549, NCI\u2011H838, NCI\u2011H1395) by qPCR, western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Stable knockdown (KD) and overexpression (OE) of MUC21 were established in LUAD cells to assess proliferation (CCK\u20118, EdU), migration (wound healing), and invasion (Matrigel Transwell) in vitro. Xenograft models in nude mice were used to evaluate tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistic involvement of retinoic acid receptor \u03b2 (RAR\u03b2) was tested via rescue experiments with RAR\u03b2 co\u2011silencing. MUC21 was significantly upregulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines, with membrane\u2011localized enrichment in tumors. High MUC21 expression correlated with poorer progression\u2011free survival in patients. Functionally, MUC21 OE promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while MUC21 KD suppressed these malignant traits. In the xenograft model, MUC21 OE accelerated tumor growth and increased the Ki-67 proliferation index, whereas its silencing restrained tumor growth and enhanced apoptosis. Mechanistically, dysregulated MUC21 influenced gene pathways associated with retinoic acid signaling. MUC21 negatively correlated with the nuclear receptor RAR\u03b2, with MUC21 KD increasing RAR\u03b2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein levels, coinciding with reduced proliferation and invasiveness, and MUC21 OE repressing RAR\u03b2 expression. Notably, RAR\u03b2 co-silencing partially rescued MUC21-KD-induced suppression of LUAD proliferation, migration, and invasion, positioning RAR\u03b2 as a key downstream mediator. These findings present the MUC21-RAR\u03b2 regulatory axis as a critical regulator of LUAD malignant progression and highlight the therapeutic potential of MUC21, offering novel insights and linking MUC-driven membrane signaling with RAR\u03b2-associated nuclear differentiation programs.\n\nID: 42411083\nTitle: Advancing siRNA Therapeutics with Pharmacometrics: A Review of Modeling Approaches and Clinical Applications.\nAbstract: Small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics represent a paradigm shift in targeting previously undruggable diseases through specific gene silencing. Since the FDA's first approval of patisiran in 2018, the field has expanded rapidly, with eight approved drugs and numerous clinical candidates. However, the atypical pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) profile of siRNAs, characterized by rapid plasma elimination, prolonged tissue retention, and temporal dissociation between exposure and effect, has created distinct obstacles for conventional dose-finding strategies. This review examines how model-informed drug development, particularly pharmacometric modeling, has emerged as an essential tool in the advancement of siRNA therapeutics. Population PK-PD models for all FDA-approved siRNA drugs are systematically described, demonstrating that mechanistic and semi-mechanistic approaches inform preclinical-to-clinical translation, optimize dosing regimens, and support regulatory decisions. Key modeling frameworks include: (1) mechanistic models incorporating asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR)-mediated uptake, RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) loading, and mRNA degradation kinetics; (2) minimal physiologically-based PK-PD models for interspecies scaling; and (3) exposure-response models addressing the disconnect between plasma PK and pharmacological activity. This review also discusses how quantitative pharmacology addresses developmental challenges, including first-in-human dose selection, optimal dosing intervals, organ impairment effects, and interindividual variability. This pharmacometric perspective provides a quantitative framework for rational development of safe and effective siRNA therapeutics across diverse patient populations.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

Current strain-specific vaccines remain inherently reactive, incapable of anticipating antigenic drift, reassortment, or zoonotic emergence. A paradigm shift toward universal vaccines-designed to target evolutionarily conserved viral epitopes and confer durable, broad-spectrum protection across strains, subtypes, and viral genera-represents the most strategically consequential frontier in contemporary vaccinology and pandemic preparedness. This comparative narrative review provides an integrated synthesis of universal influenza vaccine (UIV) and pan-coronavirus vaccine (UCV) development, critically evaluating conserved immunological targets, advanced platform technologies, Phase I-III clinical pipeline status, and key translational barriers. By juxtaposing both developmental trajectories in a single analytical framework, we identify convergent scientific principles and divergent challenges to inform a unified pandemic preparedness strategy-an approach not previously addressed in the literature. A structured narrative review was conducted via systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov covering 2015-June 2026, supplemented by hand-searching reference lists of landmark studies. MeSH and free-text terms encompassed universal influenza vaccines, pan-coronavirus vaccines, mRNA vaccine platforms, hemagglutinin stalk, neuraminidase, M2e, receptor-binding domain (RBD), fusion peptide, S2 subunit, and broadly neutralizing antibodies. Peer-reviewed original research articles, Phase I-III clinical trial reports, and authoritative reviews were included; non-English publications and preclinical-only studies lacking translational immunogenicity data were excluded. Conserved viral epitopes-principally the hemagglutinin (HA) stalk domain, neuraminidase (NA) ectodomain, and M2e protein for influenza, and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) Class 4 epitope, fusion peptide, and S2 subunit for coronaviruses-have been validated as targets for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Multiple advanced platforms, including lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA, adenoviral vectors, computationally designed self-assembling nanoparticles (Mosaic-8 RBD-I53-50, SpFN), and structure-guided protein antigens, are progressing through early-phase clinical trials with promising cross-reactive immunogenicity profiles. Comparative analysis reveals that UIV development benefits from well-characterised bnAb epitopes and established animal challenge models, while UCV development is accelerated by unprecedented mRNA manufacturing infrastructure and genomic surveillance networks built during the COVID-19 response. Shared translational obstacles include antigenic imprinting, the absence of validated correlates of protection for cross-strain immunity, and inequitable manufacturing scalability. Cross-strain protective vaccines against influenza and coronaviruses are scientifically achievable, supported by converging immunological principles and advancing clinical evidence across both fields. Accelerating translation to population-level protection requires coordinated investment in epitope-focused antigen engineering, correlate-of-protection validation, adaptive regulatory frameworks, and equitable global manufacturing capacity. Crucially, the scientific and policy lessons of COVID-19-both the remarkable speed enabled by prior platform investments and the inequities exposed in global vaccine distribution-must be integrated into universal respiratory virus vaccine programmes now, before the next pandemic forces another reactive response.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42324038 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42245671 for the quote: \"Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42245671 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42529204 for the quote: \"Cumulative clinical evidence confirms that pathogen-TLR matching determines inflammatory phenotypes and severity of infectious myocarditis.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Large-sample clinical data have demonstrated that the in-hospital mortality of COVID-19-associated myocarditis reaches 19.4%, significantly higher than that of influenza-associated myocarditis (10.5%). Additionally, the incidence of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy-related myocarditis is 6.2%, while the mortality of sepsis-associated myocarditis is as high as 70%-90%. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the core pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity, dominate the entire pathological cascade, ranging from pathogen recognition and acute inflammatory burst to myocardial injury and chronic fibrous remodeling. Nevertheless, most current studies merely focus on the linear correlation between individual TLR activation and myocardial inflammation, failing to systematically clarify pathogen-TLR matching specificity and the spatiotemporal dynamic regulatory mechanisms of TLR signaling throughout disease progression. This review comprehensively combs the latest epidemiological profiles of infectious myocarditis, characterizes the expression patterns and signaling regulatory features of the TLR family within the cardiac immune microenvironment, analyzes pathogen-specific recognition modes mediated by common pathogens, elaborates the spatiotemporal regulatory rules of TLR signaling across acute inflammation, immune deviation and chronic fibrosis stages, and summarizes pathogen-oriented intervention strategies as well as relevant translational bottlenecks. Cumulative clinical evidence confirms that pathogen-TLR matching determines inflammatory phenotypes and severity of infectious myocarditis, and that the spatiotemporal dynamics of TLR signaling directly govern disease progression. Notably, TLR-targeted therapies must adhere to the core principles of pathogen specificity and staged precise regulation. This review provides a systematic theoretical basis for precise immunodiagnosis and individualized immunotherapy of infectious myocarditis.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42529204 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42449630 for the quote: \"Pharmacological DNMT inhibition enhanced the cytotoxic effects of siRNA-mediated MNK1 knockdown.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Improving clinical outcomes will require innovative therapeutic approaches that target unique molecular vulnerabilities. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway drives tumor progression across multiple cancers, including GBM. MAPK-interacting kinases (MNK1/2) represent MAPK downstream effectors that phosphorylate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), a regulator of oncogenic and anti-apoptotic mRNA translation. We previously identified pharmacological MNK inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for GBM, but most available MNK inhibitors lack specificity. Methods: Novel MNK inhibitor compounds were developed using medicinal chemistry optimization and evaluated through molecular docking and kinome profiling analyses. Antineoplastic activity was assessed in established GBM cell lines and patient-derived glioma stem cell models cultured as 3-D neurospheres under stem cell-permissive conditions. Effects on MNK signaling, cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were analyzed using immunoblotting, flow cytometry, viability assays, wound healing assays, and 3-D invasion assays. In addition, a compound screen was performed to identify therapeutic agents that enhance MNK-targeted therapy, followed by validation using pharmacological inhibition and siRNA-mediated knockdown approaches. Results: Our next-generation MNK inhibitor NUCC-201893 exhibited high target specificity and greater potency than the lead compound NU808, effectively suppressing eIF4E phosphorylation, GBM cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, and invasion. Compound screening identified DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibition as a potent enhancer of MNK blockade. Pharmacological DNMT inhibition enhanced the cytotoxic effects of siRNA-mediated MNK1 knockdown, while concurrent pharmacological inhibition of MNKs and DNMT resulted in greater suppression of neurosphere growth and robust induction of apoptotic responses in GSCs. Conclusions: These findings identify dual MNK and DNMT inhibition as a promising combinatorial strategy that effectively triggers antineoplastic effects in GBM cells and GSCs.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42449630 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42486137 for the quote: \"In the mRNA era, modular vaccine platforms enable rapid design of protein antigens and multivalent constructs.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Although novel antibiotics, antimicrobial stewardship, and infection prevention remain essential, such interventions are unlikely to offset projected AMR trends on their own. Vaccines can help to mitigate AMR by preventing infections and reducing antibiotic exposure. WHO estimates that vaccines targeting 23 pathogens (excluding Neisseria gonorrhoea) could reduce global antibiotic need by 22%, equivalent to 2\u00b75 billion defined daily doses annually. In the mRNA era, modular vaccine platforms enable rapid design of protein antigens and multivalent constructs, with emerging preclinical proof of concept against selected bacterial pathogens. In this Personal View, we argue that mRNA vaccines should be considered enabling platforms for selected protein-based MDRO targets rather than universal solutions for antibacterial vaccine development.

Despite decades of preparedness initiatives, critical technological and structural gaps persist, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where both vaccine access and sustainable manufacturing capacity remain limited. In this perspective, we examine key lessons from past influenza pandemics and global preparedness strategies, including the Global Action Plan for Influenza Vaccines, highlighting persistent challenges related to sustainable manufacturing capacity and equitable vaccine access. Additionally, we examine the potential of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine platforms to address these limitations, given their rapid design, scalable manufacturing, and adaptability to emerging pathogens. Moreover, we examine the role of neuraminidase (NA) as a complementary antigen capable of broadening immune protection and reducing viral transmission. Finally, we describe recent advances in Latin America, focusing on Argentina's participation in the mRNA Technology Transfer Programme co-led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), as a model for strengthening regional manufacturing capacity and contributing to global pandemic preparedness. Together, these elements indicate that effective H5N1 pandemic preparedness will require the integration of improved antigen design, flexible mRNA platforms, and sustainable regional manufacturing systems aligned with global procurement strategies.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42347640 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42551939 for the quote: \"ultimately, such advances may facilitate rapid, patient-specific drug selection and contribute to more efficient and personalized cancer treatment.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

These developments now enable the integration of histopathological images with non-image data, prediction of treatment response and prognosis, and reduction of the workload for medical professionals. In this review, we provide an overview of representative analytical methods for pathological images, as well as approaches for predicting biomarkers and therapeutic responsiveness directly from histological images. We summarize key studies across major cancer types, pan-cancer investigations, and examples that have been successfully implemented in clinical practice. Additionally, we introduce emerging frameworks such as quantitative analysis of cellular components and tumor microenvironments, pathology foundation models, mRNA expression-based treatment response prediction, integration with spatial transcriptomics data, and applications in clinical trial design. Despite this progress, several challenges remain, such as limited availability of large-scale, high-quality datasets, domain shift across institutions, lack of model interpretability, potential biases, and significant barriers to clinical implementation and regulatory approval. Nevertheless, future developments are expected to enable the simultaneous estimation of multiple biomarkers from a single pathological image, potentially eliminating the need for additional tests. Ultimately, such advances may facilitate rapid, patient-specific drug selection and contribute to more efficient and personalized cancer treatment.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42551939 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42541079 for the quote: \"The unprecedented global impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has further highlighted this need and catalyzed rapid advances in vaccines capable of inducing both local and systemic immunity.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Acting as the body's first line of defense, RM immunity integrates immune tolerance, barrier protection, immune surveillance, tissue repair, and the establishment of long-term immunological memory. Dysregulation of these processes contributes to a broad spectrum of diseases, including acute viral and bacterial infections, fungal colonization, and chronic inflammatory disorders, highlighting the urgent need for effective preventive strategies targeting the respiratory mucosa. The unprecedented global impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has further highlighted this need and catalyzed rapid advances in vaccines capable of inducing both local and systemic immunity at the respiratory portal of entry, alongside progress in inhalable antibody therapies. This review first summarizes the principal biological functions of the respiratory mucosa and the underlying mechanisms, followed by an overview of immune dysregulation associated with respiratory diseases. It then highlights recent advances in mucosal intervention strategies, with a particular focus on the development of RM vaccine platforms-including live-attenuated, inactivated, viral vector, protein subunit, and mRNA vaccines. It further discusses next-generation RM vaccine strategies emphasizing upper airway immunity, broadened antigen design and intranasal safety. Together, these advances provide a conceptual and translational framework for advancing RM-based interventions against respiratory pathogens.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42541079 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes.\" (Source: 42550058)\n- \"mRNA-1010 was superior to standard-dose licensed vaccines for prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness in adults 50 years of age or older.\" (Source: 42090792)\n- \"conventional mRNA for generating rapid, high-magnitude responses against influenza A and next-generation saRNA vaccines for enhanced dose efficiency, particularly against IBV.\" (Source: 42081324)\n- \"These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection.\" (Source: 42522246)\n- \"mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens.\" (Source: 42083745)\n- \"Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles.\" (Source: 42505558)\n- \"Messenger RNA (mRNA)-formulated lipid-nanoparticles have evolved from an emergency pandemic vaccine experiment into a versatile vaccine platform.\" (Source: 42295617)\n- \"Research findings suggest that public funding for pharmacist-administered influenza vaccinations contributed to expanding overall influenza vaccine access in New Zealand among adults \u226565.\" (Source: 42560331)\n- \"These results suggest that both protein-based and mRNA vaccines are well-tolerated and significantly reduce the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.\" (Source: 42486052)\n- \"This analysis confirms that TCM for influenza has matured into a structured and interdisciplinary research field.\" (Source: 42415809)\n- \"Cross-neutralization against BA.3.2.2 was detected in both groups despite lower titers compared to JN.1.\" (Source: 42401363)\n- \"Needle-free jet injectors are a practical alternative to traditional needle-based injections for some vaccines.\" (Source: 42076068)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

August, 2026 PathMap\" (Evaluating the efficacy, platform evolution, and clinical utility of mRNA-based influenza vaccines as of August 2026).\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe clinical development of mRNA-based influenza vaccines has advanced rapidly, demonstrating superiority over standard-dose vaccines and providing a versatile platform for multi-pathogen and universal vaccine strategies. As of August 2026, evidence suggests mRNA-1010 achieves comparable effectiveness to enhanced vaccines, while next-generation platforms like self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) demonstrate enhanced dose-sparing and efficacy against influenza B (IBV).\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nMessenger RNA vaccine platforms have evolved from emergency pandemic tools to robust, versatile instruments for seasonal influenza management. Clinical evidence confirms that mRNA-1010 provides significant clinical utility, with studies identifying its superiority against standard-dose comparators and its comparable performance to licensed enhanced vaccines. A critical paradigm shift is currently underway, moving beyond simple strain-specific hemagglutinin targeting toward broader cross-protective modalities, including the integration of neuraminidase antigens and internal viral proteins. The primary limitation of current conventional mRNA platforms, specifically their suboptimal efficacy against IBV, is being addressed by next-generation modalities such as self-amplifying RNA and capless vaccine designs, which facilitate higher, more durable immune responses at lower dosages.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* mRNA-1010 is consistently shown to be superior to standard-dose vaccines for the prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed influenza-like illness in older adults.\n* The integration of internal viral proteins (e.g., nucleoprotein) and neuraminidase is essential for achieving universal cross-protection.\n* Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) platforms significantly improve IBV-specific immunogenicity compared to conventional mRNA.\n* Pharmacist-led vaccination programs, as seen in New Zealand, remain a primary driver for increasing vaccine uptake in the geriatric population.\n* The use of needle-free jet injectors provides a potential technological bridge for more efficient, dose-sparing delivery of future mRNA influenza formulations.\n* Current data indicate that mRNA-based multicomponent vaccines (e.g., mRNA-1083) represent a viable strategy for co-protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2.\n* There is a transition in research focus from mere antibody titer measurement to monitoring circulating follicular helper T-cell responses for deeper immunological memory assessment.\n* Computational and algorithm-optimized mRNA H5 influenza vaccines are now successfully inducing broad immune responses against clades of highly pathogenic avian influenza.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

This randomized, observer-blind, phase 3 study evaluated safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and inferred efficacy of mRNA-1345 when coadministered with quadrivalent influenza vaccine-high dose (QIV-HD). Adults\u2009\u226565\u2009y (n\u2009=\u20091900) were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive both vaccines coadministered at day 1 or sequentially, 21\u2009d apart. Noninferiority of six co-primary immunogenicity endpoints was assessed up to 21\u2009d post vaccination, comparing coadministered versus sequential vaccination. Immunogenicity was measured by serum-neutralizing antibody responses and seroresponse rates for RSV or seroconversion rate for influenza. Reactogenicity was mild/moderate and there were no safety concerns, related serious adverse events, or deaths. Noninferiority of immune responses against influenza A (H1N1, H3N2) and B (Austria, Phuket) was demonstrated, with geometric mean ratios (GMRs; coadministration vs sequential vaccination) of anti-hemagglutinin titers ranging from 0.868-0.948. All lower bounds of the corresponding 95% CI were\u2009>0.667, consistent with the commonly accepted noninferiority margin of 1.5 (i.e. 0.667\u2009=\u20091/1.5). Noninferiority against RSV-A and RSV-B based on GMR was not demonstrated; GMRs (95% CI) of neutralizing antibody were 0.625 (0.570-0.686) and 0.638 (0.584-0.697) for RSV-A and RSV-B, respectively, with the lower bound of 95% CI\u2009<\u20090.667 for RSV-A and B. Coadminstration is estimated to maintain the efficacy of mRNA-1345 against RSV-lower respiratory tract disease based on a correlate of protection model. These results support coadministration of mRNA-1345 with QIV-HD.Clinical trials registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06060457.",

We found that a large proportion of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) isolated from individuals immunized with the 2021-22 seasonal influenza vaccine bound to an epitope on the HA head of both the H1N1 vaccine strain and H3N2 strains from the mid-1990s. The unmutated common ancestors of many of these mAbs reacted to both the 1990s H3s and the 2021-22 H1 vaccine strain. These cross-subtype antibodies were also found in polyclonal sera, but only among individuals born in the 1990s. Ferrets sequentially exposed to a 1990s H3N2 virus and contemporary influenza vaccine also produced H1/H3 cross-reactive antibodies. Recently, H1N1 viruses have acquired a substitution that abrogates the binding of these antibodies. Together, our study demonstrates how prior influenza virus exposures can influence the specificity of antibodies elicited by entirely different influenza virus subtypes.",

Needle-free jet injectors (NFJIs) are an alternative delivery method in which narrow, high-velocity liquid jets penetrate the skin without a needle. Contemporary designs, ranging from single-use disposable-syringe injectors to digitally controlled electromechanical devices, address historical safety issues and meet current WHO and FDA device expectations. Methods: Evidence from engineering analyses, preclinical modeling, and clinical trials was reviewed to characterize how jet velocity, nozzle structure, and formulation rheology influence skin penetration and drug dispersion. Published vaccine studies were examined for antibody responses, seroconversion, and reactogenicity compared with needle-syringe injection. Field vaccination campaign data from national campaigns and operational reports were evaluated to describe implementation steps, acceptability, and implementation constraints. Results: Published studies evaluating vaccines, including inactivated influenza, hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies, and measles, report antibody titers and seroconversion rates after NFJI administration that are comparable to those achieved with conventional intramuscular or intradermal needle injection. Needle-free delivery was associated with operational advantages in several immunization programs, including reduced sharps waste and improved vaccination rate during high-volume immunization campaigns. Local and systemic reactogenicity follows expected patterns, with slightly higher injection-site responses in some NFJI studies. Imaging and mechanical data confirm that jet performance depends on nozzle geometry and controlled pressure pulses. At the same time, formulation stability remains a critical determinant of successful jet-based vaccine administration, particularly for protein antigens, adjuvanted formulations, and emerging mRNA vaccines that may experience transient shear stress during high-velocity injection. Evidence from vaccination campaigns further indicates that needle-free jet injectors reduce sharps waste, simplify vaccine handling and administration procedures, and support rapid vaccine delivery in large-scale immunization programs. Conclusions: Needle-free jet injectors are a practical alternative to traditional needle-based injections for some vaccines. Their main benefits include enabling intradermal dose-sparing strategies, reducing reliance on sharps disposal methods, and enabling the efficient vaccination of large groups without compromising immunogenicity. Future research should define the physicochemical stability limits of biologic formulations subjected to jet injection and evaluate digitally controlled injectors capable of precise pressure modulation and adjustable delivery parameters. In addition, needle-free jet injection eliminates needle penetration and sharps handling, which may reduce needle-associated anxiety and improve vaccine acceptability among individuals with needle aversion.",

We employed sequence optimization strategies that successfully enhanced the antigen expression of hemagglutinin (HA) and developed mRNA vaccine candidates targeting the WHO-recommended strains. When administered at a low dose (0.1 \u03bcg), both mono-and trivalent influenza A mRNA vaccines induced robust humoral immunity and conferred complete protection against homologous viral challenge in murine models, outperforming the quadrivalent inactivated vaccine (QIV, 2 \u03bcg). In contrast, IBV mRNA vaccines at an equivalent dose failed to elicit detectable antibodies and offered no protection, consistent with prior evidence of suboptimal immunogenicity in human trials. These findings highlight strain-specific immunogenicity constraints inherent to conventional mRNA platforms. To overcome these limitations, we systematically compared three distinct RNA vaccine modalities: (1) nucleoside-modified mRNA, (2) self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), and (3) circular RNA (circRNA). Notably, a single 0.1\u2005\u00b5g dose of the trivalent saRNA vaccine elicited robust humoral immunity and provided complete protection against IBV challenge, whereas mRNA vaccination achieved only 14% survival. Importantly, long-term antibody monitoring over 20 weeks showed that saRNA at the low 0.1 \u03bcg dose maintained high antibody levels, with a markedly more durable response to IBV antigens than those of other platforms. Moreover, the trivalent mRNA vaccine exhibited a favourable safety profile, with no obvious abnormal body weight changes or serum biochemical abnormalities observed after immunization. Our findings advocate for strain-adaptive platform selection: conventional mRNA for generating rapid, high-magnitude responses against influenza A and next-generation saRNA vaccines for enhanced dose efficiency, particularly against IBV.",

Vaccination is a cornerstone of disease prevention, though traditional platforms face challenges. Recently, several vaccines utilizing mRNA and adenovirus platforms were brought to the market, with additional vaccines undergoing Phase 3 clinical testing. This review assesses vaccine literature primarily from 2020 to the present, using National Library of Medicine databases. The rapidity of mRNA technology was tested and implemented successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the mRNA RSV vaccine has been licensed as well. mRNA platforms also offer the ability of combining antigens for multivalent vaccines against multiple pathogens. Several combination products have been used in phase III clinical trials. Adenovirus-vectored vaccines for respiratory viruses have the added advantage of mucosal-based delivery and inducing a potentially stronger local immune response. However, both of these platforms have immunogenicity and safety shortcomings. Novel respiratory virus vaccine platforms have demonstrated their importance with both endemic and pandemic pathogens, because of decades of concerted efforts and investment in research. Expediting future vaccine development requires a continuation of these efforts with a focus on pre-clinical models and a better understanding of correlates of protection.",

We performed air, farm wastewater, and milk sampling on 14 H5N1-positive dairy farms across two different California regions. Infectious virus was detected in the air in milking parlors and in wastewater streams, while viral RNA was found in exhaled breath of cows. Sequence analysis of infectious H5N1 virus from air and wastewater samples on one farm revealed viral variants relevant for potential human susceptibility. Longitudinal analysis of milk from the individual quarters of cows revealed a high prevalence of subclinical H5N1-positive cows. Additionally, a heterogeneous distribution of infected quarters that maintained a consistent pattern over time was observed, inconsistent with shared milking equipment serving as the sole transmission mode. The presence of subclinically infected cows was further supported by detection of antibodies in the milk of animals that exhibited no clinical signs during the H5N1 outbreak on one farm. Our data highlight additional sources and potential modes of H5N1 transmission on dairy farms.",

An investigational messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccine called mRNA-1010 encodes hemagglutinin glycoproteins from World Health Organization-recommended influenza strains. In this phase 3, double-blind, active-controlled trial, we randomly assigned adults 50 years of age or older to receive trivalent mRNA-1010 (37.5 \u03bcg, which includes 12.5 \u03bcg of each strain) or a licensed standard-dose comparator. The primary efficacy end point was relative vaccine efficacy against reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness caused by influenza A or B, from at least 14 days after vaccination through the end of the influenza season. Hypothesis testing was conducted hierarchically to assess noninferiority (lower boundary of the 95% confidence interval [CI], >-10%), superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >0%), and a higher level of superiority (lower boundary of the 95% CI, >9.1%). A total of 40,703 participants received mRNA-1010 (20,350 participants) or the standard-dose comparator (20,353 participants); the median follow-up was 181 days (range, 1 to 227). RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness was observed in 411 of 20,179 recipients of mRNA-1010 (2.0%) and 557 of 20,124 recipients of the standard-dose comparator (2.8%), which corresponds to a relative vaccine efficacy of 26.6% (95% CI, 16.7 to 35.4), thereby meeting the criteria for noninferiority, superiority, and higher-level superiority. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010 than with the standard-dose comparator (injection-site pain in 65.8% vs. 29.8%, fatigue in 45.1% vs. 20.3%, headache in 37.8% vs. 18.0%, and myalgia in 35.4% vs. 11.6%); most reactions were mild to moderate and transient. Serious adverse events were reported in 2.2% of the recipients of mRNA-1010 (with three events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related) and in 1.9% of the recipients of the standard-dose comparator (with two events considered by the investigator to be vaccine-related). In this trial, mRNA-1010 was superior to standard-dose licensed vaccines for prevention of RT-PCR-confirmed, protocol-defined influenza-like illness in adults 50 years of age or older. Solicited adverse reactions were more frequent with mRNA-1010. (Funded by Blackstone Life Sciences and Moderna; Fluent ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT06602024.).",
"42115617": "ID: 42115617\nTitle: Cross-reactive human antibody responses to H5N1 influenza virus neuraminidase are shaped by immune history.\nAbstract: H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses have spread globally and pose a pandemic risk. Prior studies suggest that early life exposures to group 1 influenza viruses (H1N1 and H2N2) prime antibodies that cross-react to the hemagglutinin of H5N1, which is also a group 1 virus. However, less is known about how immune history affects antibody responses against the H5N1 neuraminidase (NA). We measured NA inhibition antibodies against multiple H5N1 viruses using sera from 155 individuals born between 1927 and 2016. Individuals likely primed in childhood with H1N1 viruses possessed higher levels of antibodies that cross-react with the NA of H5N1 viruses compared to those primed with H2N2 or H3N2 viruses. While young children rarely possessed cross-reactive N1 antibodies, childhood infections with contemporary H1N1, but not H3N2, viruses elicited them. We also measured antibodies against an H5N5 virus (A6 genotype) that recently caused a fatal infection in the United States. Consistent with the lack of circulation of N5 viruses in humans, we found low levels of antibodies against the N5 NA. Our data suggest that immune history greatly impacts the generation of cross-reactive NA antibodies, and that reassortment with other NAs may increase the risk of H5 infection of humans.",

Comparing B cell responses to vaccines and infection at relevant mucosal sites may provide unique and important insights into tissue immunity. Here, we characterize antigen-specific B cells in the tonsils, adenoids, and peripheral blood of children who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or vaccinated with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. SARS-CoV-2-specific switched memory B cells (BSM) are found in the pharyngeal lymphoid tissues and blood after vaccination or infection. However, infection generates a higher proportion of IgA+ BSM and CXCR3+CD21+ BSM. CXCR3+CD21+ BSM show distinct spatial localization, greater clonal expansion and increased propensity for plasma cell differentiation compared to their CXCR3- counterparts, accompanied by persistent activation of innate and T follicular helper cells in the tissues. Our data provide evidence for tissue-specific B cell memory after either SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or infection, but with distinct characteristics that can influence the quality, durability, and localization of immunity.",

Traditional antibody-centric vaccine strategies face fundamental limitations stemming from antigenic drift and shift in hemagglutinin and neuraminidase surface proteins, necessitating annual reformulation and demonstrating reduced efficacy against mismatched strains. T-cell-mediated immunity offers a complementary approach by targeting highly conserved internal viral proteins such as nucleoprotein and matrix protein 1, thereby enabling cross-subtype protection independent of surface antigen variability. This review systematically examines the role of CD8\u2009+\u2009cytotoxic T lymphocytes, CD4\u2009+\u2009helper T cells, and tissue-resident memory T cells in controlling H2N3 influenza infection, with particular emphasis on mechanisms underlying heterosubtypic immunity. Evidence from preclinical models and human cohort studies demonstrates that pre-existing T-cell responses correlate with reduced disease severity across antigenically diverse influenza strains, even in the absence of strain-specific neutralizing antibodies. Recent advances in vaccine platforms-including viral vectors, mRNA technologies, and epitope-based approaches-show promise for inducing robust T-cell responses targeting conserved epitopes. Systems immunology and artificial intelligence-assisted epitope prediction are revolutionizing vaccine design by identifying pan-HLA-restricted epitopes with broad population coverage. However, significant challenges persist, including HLA diversity, immune senescence, absence of validated correlates of protection, and regulatory uncertainties. Collectively, this review demonstrates that integration of humoral and cellular immunity through combination vaccine strategies is essential for advancing universal influenza vaccines capable of providing durable, cross-protective immunity against both seasonal and pandemic strains, including re-emerging H2-like viruses.",

The disease, caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, affects a wide range of domestic and wild animals as well as humans, with global incidence potentially reaching 1.6-2.1 million new cases annually. The most effective approach to combating brucellosis is specific prevention through vaccination. Therefore, we conducted this review to summarize data from existing studies on modern strategies for brucellosis vaccination, types of vaccine platforms, their efficacy, safety, and applicability in veterinary and human medicine. We searched databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant scientific articles in English published from 1990 to 2025. The aim of this work is to conduct a systematic analysis of modern brucellosis vaccination strategies in livestock and humans, as well as to evaluate the prospects of new vaccine platforms. The review examines live attenuated, inactivated, subunit, vector, and DNA vaccines, as well as their immunological mechanisms of action, advantages, and limitations of application. This information allows for a better understanding of the mechanisms of protective immunity formation and challenges related to DIVA diagnostics (Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals). The \"One Health\" concept demonstrated the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental factors, emphasizing the need for an interdisciplinary approach to brucellosis monitoring, prevention, and control.

"42188810": "ID: 42188810\nTitle: Bacterial Membrane Vesicles as Versatile Platforms for Systemic and Mucosal Vaccines.\nAbstract: Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs), encompassing outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released from Gram-negative bacteria and extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from Gram-positive bacteria, have emerged as promising vaccine platforms owing to their intrinsic immunostimulatory properties and capacity to deliver a wide range of antigens. Although conventional vaccines effectively prevent infectious diseases, their long-term efficacy is often limited by antigenic variation and reliance on a restricted number of licensed adjuvants. BMVs, as self-adjuvanting systems, enable both antigen delivery and innate immune activation. BMVs are nanoscale lipid bilayer structures enriched with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), facilitating their recognition and uptake by antigen-presenting cells. This leads to the activation of pattern recognition receptors and the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, type I interferons, and adaptive immune responses, including antibody production and Th1- and Th17-biased cellular immunity. Recent studies highlight the versatility of BMVs as vaccine platforms across bacterial, fungal, and viral infection models. BMVs induce protective immunity by promoting both systemic and mucosal immune responses, thereby reducing bacterial burden and limiting pathogen colonization across diverse infection models. These properties have supported their application in viral vaccine development, including influenza and SARS-CoV-2, with the potential to enhance mucosal immunity. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in standardization, safety, and antigen-loading efficiency. Engineered BMVs incorporating protein or mRNA antigens may further enhance antigen presentation and CD8+ T cell responses. This review summarizes the biological features, immunological mechanisms, and future potential of BMVs in vaccine development.",

Existing seasonal influenza vaccines and licensed H5 vaccines provide limited cross-protection against H5 viruses, underscoring an urgent need for the development of broadly protective H5 vaccines. In this study, we analyzed all human-infected H5 hemagglutinin (HA) sequences using bioinformatics approaches and subsequently designed a novel H5 influenza vaccine through algorithm optimization. The predicted structure of this vaccine closely resembles that of the wild-type H5 HA trimer. In animal studies, the algorithm-optimized H5 mRNA vaccine not only induced high levels of neutralizing antibodies against multiple clade 2.3.4.4b H5 viruses but also elicited cross-neutralizing antibodies against clade 2.3.4.4 and clade 2.2.1 H5 viruses, as well as robust cellular immune responses.

Despite this update, the vaccine trended toward being less effective against the vaccine-matched H1N1 clade than the parental H1N1 clade lacking the new antigenic mutations. Here, we measure neutralization titers of serum antibodies from individuals who had received either a recombinant protein or an egg-derived vaccine against a set of viruses with hemagglutinins from 58 H1N1 strains representative of the diversity during the 2023/2024 season. We find that egg-derived vaccine recipients, but not recombinant protein vaccine recipients, had a relatively lower boost in neutralizing titers to the new clade that the updated vaccine was designed to target. We suggest that the difference in the extent that the egg-derived vs recombinant protein vaccines boosted neutralizing titers to the new H1N1 clade is because the seed strain for the egg-derived vaccine strain had acquired a reversion of a key antigenic mutation (K142R) present in that clade. Our results show how egg-derived vs recombinant protein vaccines can elicit different relative titer boosts against different subsets of viral strains, a phenomenon that could impact vaccine effectiveness. Influenza vaccines can be produced from virus grown in eggs or grown in cells or made with recombinant protein. Egg-derived influenza vaccines often contain egg-adaptive mutations in the viral antigen hemagglutinin (HA) which can impact the antigenicity or immunogenicity of the HA. In this study, we compare neutralization titers from egg-derived and recombinant protein vaccine recipients against recently circulating influenza A(H1N1) strains. We find that the egg-derived vaccine induces less of a boost in titers than the recombinant protein vaccine to the new clade of viral strains that the vaccine was designed to target.",

However, several reports of asthma exacerbations following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination have raised safety concerns for patients with obstructive airway diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of mRNA vaccine-associated exacerbations and identify associated clinical factors among patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This multicenter historical cohort study enrolled 455 patients (387 with asthma, including 30 with COPD overlap and 68 with COPD) from 13 Japanese institutions between September 2022 and September 2024. Demographic data, pulmonary function, biomarkers, and questionnaire responses were collected. Exacerbation was defined as worsening of respiratory symptoms occurring within 1 week after vaccination. Independent risk factors were identified by multivariate logistic regression. Patients with asthma had a higher COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated exacerbation rate than those with COPD (14.5% vs. 0%, P < 0.001). Among patients with asthma, exacerbations were more frequent after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination than after influenza vaccination (14.5% vs. 1.8%, P < 0.001). Younger age, atopic predisposition, lower fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels (< 25 ppb), and poor asthma control (asthma control test < 20 and/or frequent exacerbations \u2265 2/year) were identified as independent risk factors (all P < 0.05). Most exacerbations were mild, with no severe outcomes. Poorly controlled atopic asthma in younger individuals was associated with increased risk of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated exacerbation. Despite this, the overall benefits of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination support its continued use, with an emphasis on optimizing asthma control beforehand in high-risk patients.

For safety reasons, SARS-CoV-2 vaccine schedules and dosages were age-dependent, with children <12\u2009years (y) receiving a lower dose than adolescents and adults. While we previously reported age-dependent antibody responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in children with DS, cellular vaccine responses in this population remain insufficiently characterized. We evaluated vaccine-induced T-cell responses in children with DS following primary mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. We measured SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell abundance (N\u2009=\u200940) and their interferon-gamma (IFN\u03b3) production (N\u2009=\u200955) after spike antigen re-stimulation in participants aged 3-74\u2009y. We found no significant difference in the re-activation of SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ T cells between adolescents (12-17\u2009y) and adults. Children aged 5-11\u2009y exhibited significantly lower re-activation of CD4+ T cells compared with adolescents. IFN\u03b3 production was similar across all age groups.

Traditional pathogen-specific vaccines, although effective for individual diseases, face significant limitations in addressing EIDs due to long development timelines, resource intensity, and restricted adaptability to novel pathogens or variants. Pan-pathogen vaccines-designed to provide broad-spectrum immunity across multiple related or unrelated pathogens-offer a transformative approach to pandemic preparedness. This review presents a comprehensive overview of pan-pathogen vaccinology within the One Health framework, emphasizing the integration of human, animal, and environmental health for proactive disease prevention. We provide explicit definitions for \"universal\", \"broad-spectrum\", and \"pan-pathogen\" vaccines and embed the One Health principle into the full vaccine development lifecycle through real-world case studies, including Nipah virus and rVSV-Ebola. The review highlights strategies for epitope discovery using comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and immunoinformatics to identify conserved antigenic regions, and details mechanisms of cross-protective immunity mediated by T cells, broadly neutralizing antibodies, mucosal responses, and trained innate immunity with emphasis on their interplay. Advanced vaccine platforms-mRNA, viral vectors, protein subunits, and nanoparticle-based systems-are evaluated for their capacity to deliver multivalent, chimeric, and mosaic antigens. Preclinical and clinical advances against influenza, coronaviruses, flaviviruses, filoviruses, and critically, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and DNA virus targets are summarized. Ethical, regulatory, and global health considerations for equitable vaccine distribution are discussed, with expanded safety analysis addressing pan-pathogen-specific hazards such as antigenic competition, autoimmunity, and regulatory adaptation. Persistent gaps, including antigenic variability, immune imprinting, safety concerns, and challenges in clinical validation, are identified, alongside controversies surrounding the balance between broad coverage and potential immune escape. Integrating genomic surveillance, predictive modeling, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, systems biology, and synthetic vaccinology is essential to optimize vaccine design and accelerate translational implementation.

To address this challenge, we engineered and comprehensively tested three optimized mRNA vaccine candidates, evaluating the kinetics, quality, and magnitude of antibody responses as well as antigen-specific T cell immunity during a prime-boost vaccination regimen in mice. Among the tested candidates, TP2A encoding secreted receptor-binding domains (RBDs) derived from SARS-CoV-2 wild type (WT), Delta and Omicron variants demonstrated superior immunogenicity, inducing an early IgG2a-dominated antibody response against distinct SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein variants. In addition, TP2A elicited IFN-\u03b3-producing T cells in both spleen and draining lymph nodes and antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Notably, beyond broad immunity induced by the vaccine, TP2A functions as a modular platform, thus enabling flexible antigen assembly and rapid vaccine adaptation to newly emerging variants or even other viral pathogens.

Data on the magnitude and determinants of immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in this population remain limited. I-SPARC is a prospective, phase IV clinical trial evaluating humoral and cellular immune responses to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in 115 patients with cancer, including those receiving systemic therapy and those in remission. Anti-Spike antibody titers were measured longitudinally, and immunophenotyping was performed to assess T and B cell subsets. Clinical outcomes, including SARS-CoV-2 infection, were recorded. All patients developed detectable anti-Spike antibodies, although absolute titers varied by cancer type and treatment. Patients with hematologic malignancies and/or receiving chemotherapy had the lowest anti-Spike antibody levels. Booster doses significantly increased titers, particularly in patients in remission or receiving non-cytotoxic therapies. Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and the number of vaccine doses were associated with better responses. Immunophenotyping confirmed vaccine-induced expansion of memory T and B lymphocyte subpopulations. SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred in 16% of our cohort, with infrequent severe cases. mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with cancer, despite variability according to disease type and treatment. These findings support the use of booster strategies and provide a rationale for tailored vaccination approaches in immunocompromised populations.",
"42245671": "ID: 42245671\nTitle: Low effectiveness of influenza vaccines vis-\u00e0-vis mechanism of protection by vaccines - potential causes and recommendations to improve control of influenza.\nAbstract: Current licensed influenza vaccines primarily protect by eliciting antibodies against the viral hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, thereby blocking viral attachment and fusion with host cells. Unlike most vaccines, influenza vaccines must be administered annually because circulating viruses undergo continuous antigenic drift and population antibody titers wane over time. Despite yearly reformulation, influenza vaccine effectiveness remains highly variable, often below 45%, largely due to antigenic mismatches. These mismatches arise from ongoing HA evolution following strain selection and from egg-adaptation during production or propagation in animal cell cultures, which can alter key HA epitopes relative to circulating strains. Even when an antigenic match is favorable, repeated annual vaccination may elicit immunological phenomena that attenuate protective responses. Serial vaccination in young and older adults can increase regulatory T-cell activation, reducing vaccine-induced antibody titers. In older adults, this may be compounded by age-associated CD4+ T-cell memory populations that have reduced capacity to activate HA-specific B cells. While natural influenza infection induces durable memory B cells, conventional vaccination does not reliably generate such long-lived memory, suggesting a fundamental limitation of current vaccine platforms. Collectively, these observations underscore the need to re-evaluate influenza vaccination strategies, particularly to improve protection in high-risk groups such as older adults. Reducing antigenic mismatch remains essential and can be facilitated by improving the vaccine selection process and expanding the use of recombinant protein and mRNA vaccine production platforms that do not rely on egg- or animal-cell culture technologies. In parallel, the rational selection and development of adjuvants that minimize T-regulatory cell induction while enhancing durable memory B-cell formation and long-lived plasma cells may help overcome the immunological constraints associated with repeated annual vaccination. Beyond active immunization, complementary countermeasures are critical for mitigating severe outcomes, including hospitalizations and deaths. Antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies, especially those engineered for extended in vivo half-life, represent important adjuncts for protecting vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Strengthening and advancing these modalities should be prioritized as part of an integrated strategy to improve influenza control and reduce the global burden of disease.",

Epidemiologic data can identify a signal for VAED if vaccine effectiveness (VE) is negative for preventing serious illness. In 2021, we initiated a cohort study to examine VAED indirectly by estimating VE against COVID-19\u00a0hospitalization and severe illness in the Vaccine Safety Datalink. The study cohort included VSD enrollees who were age-eligible to receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccine from February 2021-March 2023. Outcomes were initial COVID-19-associated hospital admission and severe in-hospital complications (acute respiratory distress or failure). VE was estimated by dose, variant period, and for early (14-119\u2009d) and late (\u2265120\u2009d) post-vaccination periods. VE was defined as 100*(1- adjusted hazard ratio). Relative VE (rVE) was estimated for bivalent vaccine versus \u22652 monovalent vaccine doses. The hospitalization analysis included all 16,027 enrollees with COVID-19\u00a0hospitalization and a 5% random sample of non-hospitalized enrollees who contributed person-time (n\u2009=\u2009138,238). Two-dose original monovalent VE against hospitalization exceeded 90% in most age groups during the pre-Delta and Delta periods. VE was lower during the Omicron period. During the Omicron BA.2/BA.4/BA.5/XBB period, a fourth monovalent dose or bivalent dose generated VE of 59%-78% across age groups with modest waning. rVE was 48%-60% across age groups for bivalent vaccine vs. \u22652 original monovalent doses. Overall, the results were similar for VE against severe in-hospital complication. In conclusion, there was no signal for VAED during any variant period or for any specific dose of monovalent or bivalent vaccine. A retrospective cohort study in the Vaccine Safety Datalink found that monovalent and bivalent COVID-19 mRNA vaccines generated substantial protection against COVID-19\u00a0hospitalization and severe in-hospital complications in adults during the pre-Delta, Delta, Omicron BA.1 and Omicron BA.2/BA.4/BA.5/XBB periods. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were not associated with any increase in severity of disease.",

Initial hypotheses focused primarily on the spike protein antigen, with growing preclinical evidence implicating the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system as an additional and potentially important contributor to myocardial inflammation. Here, we propose a multi-hit model that integrates LNP-driven mechanisms as a central pathogenic axis, initiated by the systemic distribution and accumulation of LNPs in the heart. While the mRNA payload is cleared within days, the synthetic ionizable lipids -ALC-0315 (BNT162b2) and SM-102 (mRNA-1273) persist significantly longer than the mRNA payload itself. These two lipids differ in biodegradability and pharmacokinetic distinctions, together with differences in lipid dose and formulation, they may contribute to the divergent myocarditis rates observed between the two vaccine products. In this suggesting review, the first hit\" involves the disruption of myocardial energy metabolism by these lipids, which can integrate into cellular membranes and impair mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. This is compounded by a second hit of direct innate immune activation, preclinical studies demonstrate that LNPs engage pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) like toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1\u03b2 and IL-18. Inflammation is then amplified via Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) released from stressed cardiomyocytes. The clinical outcome-ranging from self-limited mild myocarditis to fulminant disease with diverse histopathological patterns-is likely shaped by host susceptibility factors, including sex hormones, genetic predisposition, and prior immune priming, that modulate the intensity of this pathogenic cascade.",

A prospective pilot MRI study using T1 relaxometry.\nAbstract: Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based vaccines delivered via lipid nanoparticles (LNP) were pivotal in managing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. While mild systemic reactions are common after vaccination, rare neurological complications have raised concerns about potential structural cerebral changes. This prospective pilot study tested the hypothesis that LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination does not induce significant microstructural cerebral changes in healthy adults. Dedicated 3 Tesla brain MRI was performed at three time points: up to one month before the first vaccination (t1), and 1-2 weeks (t2) and 2-3 months (t3) after the second dose of either BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273. Across 85 MRI scans from 29 initially SARS-CoV-2-seronegative adults, 2D T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, synthetic\u00a03D T1 magnetization prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echoes and 3D quantitative T1 mapping were analyzed. Changes in w matter hyperintensities (WMH) were evaluated visually (Prins scale) and semiquantitatively (Longitudinal Brain Imaging). Microstructural changes of deep and cortical gray matter and white matter were analyzed using qT1 values via paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. No new or progressive WMH nor significant intraindividual qT1 changes were observed. QT1% deviations were small (mean 0.1%, SD 0.9%; maximum 2.08%) and remained within established scan-rescan variability limits at 3 T. Apart from a 1\u00a0mm decrease of a preexisting WMH in one participant, no visually detectable structural brain alterations were observed. Our findings provide no evidence for WMH progression or microstructural cerebral changes after LNP-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in healthy adults in the subacute phase.",

Circular RNA is emerging as a promising alternative to linear RNA. However, no direct comparison has identified the optimal RNA platform for mRNA-based drug development. This study compares linear and circular RNA platforms in vitro and in vivo, focusing on expression dynamics, immune responses, and safety. In terms of expression efficiency, the circular RNA showed prolonged expression compared to linear RNA. The immunogenicity was evaluated using influenza HA as an antigen. In humoral immune response, linear RNA with modified nucleosides (Lin-m1\u03a8) and circular RNA with unmodified nucleosides (Circ-WT) showed higher neutralizing antibody titers than linear RNA with unmodified nucleosides (Lin-WT). Lin-m1\u03a8 and Lin-WT induced slightly higher cell-mediated immune responses than Circ-WT. In mice, all RNA types showed a decrease in reticulocytes, monocytes, and alkaline phosphatase on day 2 following high-dose intramuscular injection. Furthermore, Lin-WT and Circ-WT showed greater decreases in platelets than Lin-m1\u03a8. However, these changes recovered to normal by day 14 post-vaccination in all groups. These findings provide insights into developing RNA-based immunotherapies and selecting suitable RNA platforms for various applications, including preventive and therapeutic vaccines as well as protein-replacement therapies.",

A universal influenza vaccine is urgently needed. Such a vaccine must accommodate rapid viral evolution, strain diversity-including types A and B and their many subtypes-and the complexities of human immune history and biases. Messenger RNA (mRNA)-formulated lipid-nanoparticles have evolved from an emergency pandemic vaccine experiment into a versatile vaccine platform. This technology has demonstrated potential to address several critical challenges in developing a universal influenza vaccine, including rapid strain updates, the production of high-valent formulations, and the ability to target conserved antigens that may induce broader and longer-lasting protection. This review summarizes recent studies and applications of multivalent antigen selection strategies and self-amplifying and circular RNA vaccine platforms to develop mRNA influenza vaccines to achieve vaccine universality, with an emphasis on immune responses against conserved targets. We also review the latest advances in generating long-term mucosal immunity against influenza through optimized mRNA delivery. Finally, we discuss practical considerations for correlates of protection, manufacturing, and accessibility, pioneering mRNA vaccine candidates heading to clinical trials, and milestones that define vaccine \"universality.\"",
"42297775": "ID: 42297775\nTitle: Exploring offspring behaviour after prenatal COVID-19 vaccination in mice.\nAbstract: Maternal immunisation allows the transfer of protective antibodies to the offspring, reducing the risk of severe infection during early life. While vaccination during pregnancy is clinically recommended, its long-term impact on neurodevelopment remains under investigation. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social and behavioural alterations. Here, we evaluated whether prenatal exposure to the COVID-19 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine or influenza vaccine affects general and autism-related behavioural outcomes in juvenile (4 weeks) and adult (8 weeks) mouse offspring. We also assessed maternal and fetal immune responses by measuring cytokines, soluble P2X7 receptor, BDNF, CRP, and lipid peroxidation in maternal plasma and fetal brain tissue. Prenatal COVID-19 vaccination elicited a moderate maternal cytokine response (increased IL-6 and KC) without overt fetal brain inflammation. Mild, age- and sex-dependent behavioural changes were observed, including anxiety-related parameters in the elevated plus maze and altered locomotion in the open field at 4-8 weeks, however, no consistent or robust ASD-like behavioural phenotype emerged across ages. Fetal P2X7 receptor levels were elevated, while fetal CRP, BDNF, and TBARS remained unchanged. In adult offspring, BDNF was selectively reduced in the prefrontal cortex, whereas hippocampal BDNF and P2X7 receptor levels in both regions were unaffected. Although embryonic P2X7 receptor levels were transiently elevated following COVID-19 vaccination, these changes were not accompanied by fetal inflammation or persistent adult purinergic alterations. Prenatal influenza vaccination induced mild, age-dependent behavioural alterations, such as increased circling in juveniles and reduced sociability in females, without detectable maternal or fetal inflammatory responses or changes in fetal neurotrophic markers. In contrast, maternal poly(I:C) administration provoked robust systemic inflammation and pronounced fetal brain effects, including elevated cytokines, CRP, P2X7 receptor, and region-specific microglial density, accompanied by persistent reductions in adult BDNF expression. Overall, within the limits of this experimental design, prenatal COVID-19 vaccination did not produce long-lasting ASD-like phenotypes or widespread neurodevelopmental alterations, while influenza vaccination had limited and transient effects. These findings are consistent with the absence of widespread or persistent neurodevelopmental disruption in this experimental model, although further studies-including multiple doses, gestational timepoints, and cellular-level analyses-are warranted to fully elucidate mechanisms and long-term outcomes.",
"42303148": "ID: 42303148\nTitle: Endocytosis-dependent and spleen-selective mRNA expression enabled by ionizable lipidoid linkers enhances therapeutic mRNA vaccination.\nAbstract: mRNA therapy offers precise control, scalability, and a favorable safety profile, making it a promising modality for disease treatment. However, its clinical success critically depends on effective mRNA delivery systems. Currently approved lipid nanoparticles (LNP) predominantly accumulate in the liver, leading to hepatotoxicity and restricting their application to liver-related diseases. Here, we synthesized a series of ionizable lipidoids with distinct linker structures-alkylated, hydroxylated, and esterified-and combined with DOPE and cholesterol to construct three-component lipid nanoparticles (tLNP). We demonstrate that the linker structure of ionizable lipidoids is a key determinant of both the mRNA delivery efficiency and organ selectivity of tLNP. Compared with alkylated or esterified counterparts, tLNP formulated with hydroxylated-linker ionizable lipidoids exhibit enhanced cellular uptake, superior mRNA delivery, and pronounced spleen-selective mRNA expression. Notably, these tLNP achieve a spleen-to-liver mRNA expression ratio of up to 85.88, effectively reducing liver toxicity and enabling extrahepatic mRNA therapies. Leveraging this platform, we developed a therapeutic mRNA vaccine (mLMP2A@BO10-tLNP) for EBV-associated cancers. The immunological role of the spleen and PEG-free tLNP design enhance vaccine safety and efficacy. This work provides design principles for efficient mRNA delivery and introduces strategies for treating EBV-associated cancers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: mRNA-based therapies have demonstrated transformative potential, with multiple applications advancing toward clinical translation. A critical factor in this process is the optimization of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems. While current research has largely focused on the design of ionizable lipidoids, the regulatory role of their linker structures remains underexplored. This study reveals that linker structures critically govern LNP-mediated mRNA delivery efficiency and organ-selective expression, providing design principles for next-generation LNPs. Furthermore, by leveraging virus-derived antigens, this work presents a therapeutic mRNA tumor vaccine strategy that significantly reduces off-target cytotoxicity, addressing a key limitation of tumor antigen specificity. Together, these findings offer important insights for improving the safety and translational potential of therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccines.",

Between July 2021 and February 2022, serum samples were collected from 313 individuals 28 days after receiving a COVID-19 booster dose. Quantitative SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies directed against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein were measured using a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Neutralizing antibody activity, defined as inhibition of the RBD-ACE2 interaction, was evaluated semi-quantitatively by a competitive ELISA. Participants were followed for 6 months after the final dose to identify confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections. The cohort included 97 males (31%) and 216 females (69%), with a mean age of 39.43 years. The median SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody level at day 28 was 7713.3\u2009AU/mL, and the median neutralizing antibody inhibition rate was 99.2%. Antibody levels were not significantly associated with age or comorbidities. Booster vaccination induced a strong humoral immune response in all participants. However, the occurrence of post-vaccination infections despite high antibody levels suggests immune escape by emerging variants.

"42315521": "ID: 42315521\nTitle: Engineering a dual-antigen mRNA vaccine to restore immune control in chronic hepatitis B.\nAbstract: Therapeutic vaccination for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains challenging, as persistent immune tolerance to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) impedes anti-HBsAg seroconversion. Here we show that screening antigen combinations incorporating HBsAg identifies preS1-HBsAg as the optimal pairing. The resulting dual-antigen mRNA vaccine elicits robust hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific immune responses in chronic HBV mouse models, leading to near-complete viral genome clearance, marked reduction of multiple HBV antigens, and serological conversion. Mechanistic analyses reveal that preS1 serves as the primary driver of HBV-specific T cell responses, while HBsAg contributes to both anti-HBsAg seroconversion and intrinsic adjuvant activity. Specifically, when delivered in mRNA form, HBsAg promotes antigen-presenting cell (APC) activation, enhances antigen presentation, and amplifies preS1-specific CD8\u207a T cell responses. Furthermore, combining the preS1-HBsAg vaccine with interferon-\u03b1 (IFN-\u03b1) enhances antiviral efficacy and immune memory while maintaining a favorable safety profile. These findings establish preS1-HBsAg mRNA vaccination as a promising and translatable therapeutic strategy for functional cure of CHB.",

This study aimed to develop a bivalent nucleoside-modified messenger (mRNA) vaccine encoding the hemagglutinin (HA) antigens of circulating H5N1 and H7N9 strains and to evaluate its immunogenicity and protective efficacy in an SPF chicken model. The bivalent vaccine elicited robust humoral immunity in SPF chickens in a dose-dependent manner following immunization. The immune sera exhibited potent neutralizing activity against the homologous viruses and cross-reactivity with heterologous strains. Challenge experiments demonstrated that chickens immunized with high doses (50\u00a0\u03bcg and 80\u00a0\u03bcg) of the bivalent mRNA vaccine were 100% protected against lethal challenge with homologous and heterologous H5N1, as well as heterologous H7N9 viruses. Furthermore, the vaccine effectively suppressed viral replication in the lungs and significantly reduced or blocked viral shedding. Importantly, splenic transcriptome sequencing revealed that vaccination elicited extensive immune reprogramming, with marked upregulation of key genes associated with Th1-type immune responses, antigen presentation, and cytokine production. The bivalent mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine developed in this study exhibited excellent immunogenicity and broad-spectrum protective potential in SPF chickens. Transcriptomic analysis further elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying the vaccine-induced protective immunity. This study provides a promising vaccine candidate for the control of the co-circulation of H5 and H7 subtype HPAIVs.",

Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, validated during the COVID-19 pandemic, offers a powerful platform of fast development and flexibility. However, its application against bacterial pathogens remains an emerging frontier due to the structural complexity of bacterial antigens, challenges in achieving effective mucosal and cellular delivery, and the need to elicit balanced Th1/Th17-dominated immune responses for durable protection.

Current strain-specific vaccines remain inherently reactive, incapable of anticipating antigenic drift, reassortment, or zoonotic emergence. A paradigm shift toward universal vaccines-designed to target evolutionarily conserved viral epitopes and confer durable, broad-spectrum protection across strains, subtypes, and viral genera-represents the most strategically consequential frontier in contemporary vaccinology and pandemic preparedness. This comparative narrative review provides an integrated synthesis of universal influenza vaccine (UIV) and pan-coronavirus vaccine (UCV) development, critically evaluating conserved immunological targets, advanced platform technologies, Phase I-III clinical pipeline status, and key translational barriers. By juxtaposing both developmental trajectories in a single analytical framework, we identify convergent scientific principles and divergent challenges to inform a unified pandemic preparedness strategy-an approach not previously addressed in the literature. A structured narrative review was conducted via systematic literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov covering 2015-June 2026, supplemented by hand-searching reference lists of landmark studies. MeSH and free-text terms encompassed universal influenza vaccines, pan-coronavirus vaccines, mRNA vaccine platforms, hemagglutinin stalk, neuraminidase, M2e, receptor-binding domain (RBD), fusion peptide, S2 subunit, and broadly neutralizing antibodies. Peer-reviewed original research articles, Phase I-III clinical trial reports, and authoritative reviews were included; non-English publications and preclinical-only studies lacking translational immunogenicity data were excluded. Conserved viral epitopes-principally the hemagglutinin (HA) stalk domain, neuraminidase (NA) ectodomain, and M2e protein for influenza, and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) Class 4 epitope, fusion peptide, and S2 subunit for coronaviruses-have been validated as targets for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Multiple advanced platforms, including lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA, adenoviral vectors, computationally designed self-assembling nanoparticles (Mosaic-8 RBD-I53-50, SpFN), and structure-guided protein antigens, are progressing through early-phase clinical trials with promising cross-reactive immunogenicity profiles. Comparative analysis reveals that UIV development benefits from well-characterised bnAb epitopes and established animal challenge models, while UCV development is accelerated by unprecedented mRNA manufacturing infrastructure and genomic surveillance networks built during the COVID-19 response. Shared translational obstacles include antigenic imprinting, the absence of validated correlates of protection for cross-strain immunity, and inequitable manufacturing scalability. Cross-strain protective vaccines against influenza and coronaviruses are scientifically achievable, supported by converging immunological principles and advancing clinical evidence across both fields. Accelerating translation to population-level protection requires coordinated investment in epitope-focused antigen engineering, correlate-of-protection validation, adaptive regulatory frameworks, and equitable global manufacturing capacity. Crucially, the scientific and policy lessons of COVID-19-both the remarkable speed enabled by prior platform investments and the inequities exposed in global vaccine distribution-must be integrated into universal respiratory virus vaccine programmes now, before the next pandemic forces another reactive response.",

This review summarizes recent progress in COVID-19 mRNA vaccine technology, clinical performance, immunological mechanisms, and translational applications. First-generation nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines formulated in lipid nanoparticles demonstrated strong protection against symptomatic disease and, more durably, against severe outcomes, while variant-driven immune escape, waning protection against infection, limited mucosal immunity, and heterogeneous responses in special populations revealed important constraints. The review compares mRNA vaccines with other COVID-19 vaccine platforms and clarifies endpoint-specific correlates of protection, emphasizing the distinct roles of neutralizing antibodies, memory B cells, T-cell responses, and non-neutralizing antibody functions. It further examines unresolved issues associated with repeated vaccination, including immune imprinting and IgG4 class switching, and evaluates technological strategies designed to improve durability, breadth, delivery, and immune programming. Key innovations include optimized RNA chemistry, structure-guided antigen design, advanced lipid nanoparticle formulations, alternative delivery systems, immune-shaping adjuvant approaches, and next-generation RNA formats such as self-amplifying RNA and circular RNA. Finally, the review discusses vaccination strategies for immunocompromised individuals, pregnant and lactating women, older adults, and children, as well as the expansion of mRNA technology into respiratory virus vaccines, cancer immunotherapy, and therapeutic protein expression.

The efficacy of this vaccine platform relies on the induction of powerful and coordinated innate and adaptive immune responses. A deep understanding of the mechanisms of action by which mRNA-LNP vaccines drive protective immunity is crucial for advancing the development of next-generation mRNA vaccines with improved immunogenicity and tolerability. A flurry of recent studies has shed light on aspects of this vaccine modality's modus operandi. Nonetheless, key gaps in knowledge remain, including understanding how LNPs are sensed by the immune system and exert their adjuvant activity, identifying the specific signals and cellular pathways critical for eliciting protective immune responses and determining whether it is feasible to uncouple vaccine immunogenicity and reactogenicity.

This study aimed to develop multivalent T-cell vaccine candidates against these pathogens using a live attenuated influenza virus (LAIV) vector platform. Methods: Conserved F, N, and M proteins of RSV, hMPV, and PIV3 were identified through multiple sequence alignments. Fragments enriched with experimentally confirmed and predicted T-cell epitopes were selected using the IEDB and NetMHCpan servers. These fragments were assembled into polyepitope immunogenic cassettes, and their selected order was determined by thermodynamic analysis of mRNA secondary structures using the RNAfold Web Server. The selected cassettes were cloned into the neuraminidase (NA) gene of a cold-adapted LAIV vector. Recombinant viruses were rescued by reverse genetics and assessed for replicative fitness in embryonated chicken eggs and MDCK cells, NA enzymatic activity and genetic stability upon serial passaging. Results: Four cassettes were designed for RSV, three for hMPV, and one for PIV3, all containing fragments with multiple T-cell epitopes. Three recombinant viruses of LAIV/RSV type and three of LAIV/hMPV type were successfully rescued, while attempts to recover the remaining recombinant viruses, i.e., LAIV/RSV and LAIV/PIV3, were not successful. All rescued recombinant viruses replicated to titers comparable to the parental LAIV strain and retained the full-length insert for at least eight passages in eggs. Importantly, NA enzymatic activity of the LAIV vector was not compromised by the insertion of the polyepitope T-cell cassettes. Conclusions: We developed a panel of recombinant T cell-based vaccine candidates against RSV and hMPV using the LAIV vector platform. These recombinant viruses encode conserved T-cell epitopes of the target viruses while retaining the biological properties of LAIV strains. Taken together, these characteristics warrant further evaluation of these recombinant viruses in appropriate relevant in vitro models to directly assess their immunogenicity in terms of stimulating a T-cell response against target pathogens.",

Despite decades of preparedness initiatives, critical technological and structural gaps persist, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where both vaccine access and sustainable manufacturing capacity remain limited. In this perspective, we examine key lessons from past influenza pandemics and global preparedness strategies, including the Global Action Plan for Influenza Vaccines, highlighting persistent challenges related to sustainable manufacturing capacity and equitable vaccine access. Additionally, we examine the potential of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine platforms to address these limitations, given their rapid design, scalable manufacturing, and adaptability to emerging pathogens. Moreover, we examine the role of neuraminidase (NA) as a complementary antigen capable of broadening immune protection and reducing viral transmission. Finally, we describe recent advances in Latin America, focusing on Argentina's participation in the mRNA Technology Transfer Programme co-led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), as a model for strengthening regional manufacturing capacity and contributing to global pandemic preparedness. Together, these elements indicate that effective H5N1 pandemic preparedness will require the integration of improved antigen design, flexible mRNA platforms, and sustainable regional manufacturing systems aligned with global procurement strategies.",

Herein, we explored whether antigen-presenting cell (APC) targeting of antigens could further enhance the immunogenicity of these delivery formats. Experiments were performed in mouse models for malaria (Plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte-binding protein homolog 5 [PfRH5] antigen) and influenza (hemagglutinin [HA] antigen). We used genetic constructs encoding bivalent fusion proteins that target antigens to MHC class II (MHCII) molecules on professional APCs. We demonstrate that MHCII-targeted fusion proteins bound to professional APCs and that such APC-targeting increased antibody and T cell responses as well as protection against the influenza virus. The results suggest that the injected mRNA-LNP and adenoviral vectors resulted in the secretion of fusion proteins that targeted APCs.

A vaccination protocol with a defined timeline can provide a template for COVID-19 and long COVID studies. Blood samples were collected from vaccination through 6\u2009weeks postvaccination, focusing on iron metabolism. Prevaccination values served as baseline controls. SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination was administered together with routine seasonal influenza vaccination. Previous influenza vaccinations in this patient were not associated with systemic symptoms such as dizziness or fever; in contrast, the present case exhibited clear reactions, suggesting that the observed alterations in serum iron and ferritin are attributable to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The vaccination induced an abrupt decrease in serum iron and a concomitant increase in ferritin. While ferritin returned to baseline within 6\u2009weeks, iron levels steadily increased to approximately 1.8-fold above baseline values but remaining within the reference interval. The observed decrease in serum iron reflects an iron-withholding response, a well-established host defense mechanism during infections that limits pathogen proliferation. The increase in ferritin requires further interpretation. A hypothesis is presented, but further data are needed to support this mechanism. In future cohort studies, the protocol should include individual prevaccination values so that an additional control group is not necessary. Immune reactions to vaccines can trigger transient changes in serum iron and ferritin that resemble the acute-phase response observed during infections. This case may serve as a template for studying the kinetics of immune responses, where t\u2009=\u20090 is defined by the vaccination time and each patient serves as own control when prior data are available.",

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a multi-epitope mRNA vaccine that targets the NDV fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) proteins in chickens. The cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes were obtained from NetCTL 1.2, whereas the helper T lymphocyte (HTL) epitopes were predicted using the IEDB MHC-II binding prediction tool. The subsequent selection of the epitopes was via binding affinity and was also predicted antigenically (VaxiJen v2.0) and allergenically (AllerTOP v2.0), and for sequence conservancy. The selected epitopes were fused with Alanine-Alanine-Tyrosine, Glycine-Proline-Glycine-Proline-Glycine, and Lysine-Lysine linkers. The vector was constructed, and the sequence was validated using VectorBee. There were 280 chickens distributed randomly across eight sets (n = 35 per set), consisting of one set that received the F&HN multi-epitope mRNA vaccine in addition to one set that was unvaccinated and served as a negative control, and six sets that received one of several different commercially available NDV vaccines. A virulent NDV strain was used to challenge the birds, and hemagglutination inhibition (HI), ELISA, lymphocyte proliferation, and Interferon-gamma Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot assays were used to assess the immune responses. Several epitopes for CTL, HTL, and B-cells that were both conservatively positioned and highly immunogenic were identified for the F and HN proteins. In the experiment, chickens that were immunized with the multi-epitope mRNA vaccine had significantly higher HI antibody titers and ELISA optical density values than the negative control group. The mRNA vaccine group had statistically significant differences in lymphocyte proliferation and the number of IFN-\u03b3-producing cells. After the virulent NDV challenge, the mRNA vaccine group had the best protection with the fewest and least severe clinical signs and the lowest mortality. The mRNA vaccine for the F and HN multi-epitopes NDV was the first to provide extensive protection against NDV. The vaccine elicited strong immune responses, demonstrating the potential of mRNA multi-epitope-based vaccines for NDV as a significant improvement over the previous method.",

Global deployment of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic provided an unprecedented real-world evaluation of this platform, with billions of doses administered across diverse populations. In this Review, we critically examine the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines from mechanistic, preclinical, clinical, and public health perspectives. We outline the biological basis of mRNA vaccines, including their transient cytoplasmic expression, lack of genomic integration, and rapid clearance, distinguishing them clearly from other gene therapies. We synthesise evidence on vaccine components, manufacturing quality controls, and regulatory standards that underpin safety, alongside data from randomised trials, post-authorisation surveillance, and active pharmacovigilance systems. We also review real-world effectiveness across age groups, pregnancy, and populations that are immunocompromised, along with the effects on transmission. Last, we address public perception and vaccine confidence, and discuss implications for next-generation mRNA vaccines, including strategies to reduce reactogenicity, improve breadth and durability of immunity, enhance global access, and support sustainable public trust. Together, the accumulated evidence affirms mRNA vaccines as a safe, effective, and adaptable platform with enduring relevance for future infectious disease prevention and public health preparedness, and for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity.",

Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have proved to be effective at ameliorating the course of MS. DMTs are immunomodulatory drugs affecting immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and its vaccine efficacy in MS patients (pwMS). In this longitudinal study, we analyzed T and B cell subsets in peripheral blood and the antigen (spike)-specific T cell response in pwMS patients undergoing interferon \u03b21-a (IFN) or ocrelizumab (OCRE), before and after BNT162b2 mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Blood was collected from pwMS treated with IFN and OCRE before and after the two vaccine doses. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytometry to measure T and B cell frequency, the expression of activation/regulatory/memory T cell markers and their spike-specific T cell response. CD20+ B-cells were decreased in OCRE- compared to IFN- treated pwMS before and after vaccination. CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses and the immunological memory was comparable between the two groups. Th17 cells were increased after vaccination only in the OCRE-treated group. We detected a robust spike-specific T cell response, paralleled by a significant decrease of Treg frequency, in both pwMS groups. Although IFN and OCRE induced distinct immunological profile, both DMTs allowed to mount a vaccine-induced cellular and humoral immune response. This study also represents a model that could be applied to dissect the vaccine-elicited immune response in individuals undergoing treatment with different biological drugs.",
"42386968": "ID: 42386968\nTitle: N4-Acetylcytidine enhances synthetic mRNA translation yield and fidelity.\nAbstract: Synthetic mRNA therapeutics offer a versatile platform for treating diverse conditions, including cancer and infectious diseases. For delivery into cells, these mRNAs are encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles and commonly incorporate modified ribonucleotides to improve stability, enhance translation and mitigate immune recognition1. N1-Methylpseudouridine (m1\u03a8) has become the industry standard for synthetic mRNAs owing to its effectiveness in promoting translation and reducing immunogenicity2. However, recent studies have shown that m1\u03a8 can compromise translational fidelity, leading to errors such as premature termination and ribosomal frameshifting3-5. Here we reveal N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) as a functionally distinct alternative to m1\u03a8. Across cultured cell lines, primary human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and mouse liver, ac4C suppressed inflammatory responses as effectively as m1\u03a8 while driving higher protein yields. Single-molecule imaging of translation revealed broadly similar ribosome densities per mRNA for ac4C-modified and m1\u03a8-modified transcripts. However, translation elongation with m1\u03a8-modified mRNA was nearly twofold slower than with ac4C, which resulted in reduced protein output and increased ribosome collisions that further limited protein production through the engagement of quality-control pathways and +1 frameshifting. These findings underscore the importance of context in designing therapeutic mRNAs and position the translation elongation rate as a key determinant of the efficacy of modified ribonucleotides.",

Intrathecal administration provides a clinically validated route to bypass this barrier, yet the design principles for biodegradable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) optimized for central nervous system (CNS) delivery remain poorly defined. Here, we synthesized a 200-member combinatorial library of structurally diverse, biodegradable ionizable lipids using the Passerini three-component reaction. High-throughput in vivo screening identified P3B, a lead lipid incorporating degradable linkages and optimized ionizable head groups, which enables potent and well-tolerated intrathecal mRNA delivery. In Ai9 reporter mice, P3B-LNPs encapsulating Cas9 mRNA/sgRNA induced robust and widespread tdTomato expression in neurons and astrocytes across multiple brain regions, achieving substantially higher editing efficiency than the clinical benchmark DLin-MC3-DMA (MC3). In LumA reporter mice, P3B-LNPs mediated efficient adenine base editing, restoring luciferase expression throughout the brain with 14.8% on-target correction and minimal off-target activity. Compared with MC3, P3B-LNPs exhibited enhanced tolerability, with attenuated inflammatory responses and a safety profile supportive of repeated dosing. These findings establish P3B-LNPs as a potent, safe, and biodegradable platform for genome editing in the brain and underscore the power of combinatorial lipid chemistry and high-throughput in vivo screening to accelerate the development of next-generation LNPs for CNS-targeted mRNA therapeutics.",

While previous studies have implicated HLA variation in COVID-19 vaccine reactogenicity, the mechanisms linking immunogenetic variation, inflammatory side effects, and protection remain poorly understood. Here, using a large deeply genotyped and phenotyped cohort, together with functional immunological analyses, we investigated the determinants of vaccine reactogenicity. In 50,535 vaccinated individuals, with replication in an independent cohort of 4,575 individuals, we confirmed a remarkably strong association between HLA-A*03:01 and systemic side effects following COVID-19 vaccination (OR = 1.36, CI = 1.31-1.41, p = 6.79 \u00d7 10-57). In contrast, HLA-B*08:01 was associated with reduced vaccine reactogenicity, that extended across both COVID-19 and influenza vaccines, suggesting separable antigen-specific and generalized determinants of vaccine reactogenicity. HLA-A*03:01 carriage was additionally associated with fewer breakthrough and recurrent SARS-CoV-2 infections, while individuals reporting stronger vaccine side effects exhibited reduced infection risk and milder disease course independent of HLA genotype. History of allergy was likewise associated with increased vaccine reactogenicity, consistent with a broader host predisposition to inflammatory responsiveness. Unexpectedly, despite the strong HLA association, we did not observe evidence of enhanced antigen-specific T-cell activation in HLA-A*03:01 + individuals. Instead, our immunological analyses pointed toward a prominent role for early inflammatory cytokine responses from monocytes, with inflammatory signatures correlating with vaccine side-effect severity selectively among HLA-A*03:01 + donors. Together, these findings support a model in which vaccine reactogenicity reflects the interaction of antigen-specific immunogenetic effects and broader innate inflammatory responsiveness. More broadly, our results suggest that transient vaccine side effects may represent a clinically observable correlate of protective immune activation.",

Polysaccharides are known for their microbiota-modulating and immunomodulatory activities; however, the anti-influenza efficacy of homogeneous Abrus cantoniensis polysaccharides (ACP) remains unexplored. The present study seeks to clarify the protective role of ACP in influenza and explore its underlying molecular mechanisms. Initially, crude polysaccharides were extracted via ethanol precipitation and subsequently purified by gel chromatography. Systematic structural characterization of ACP was then performed using carbohydrate chemistry techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The therapeutic efficacy of ACP was assessed by monitoring various indicators such as body weight, survival rate, viral load, and pulmonary pathological changes in mouse models. Furthermore, to elucidate the biological mechanism underlying ACP's anti-influenza activity via regulation of pulmonary interferon-beta (IFN-\u03b2) immune networks by intestinal acetate-producing microbiota, multi-omics analyses integrating metagenomics, metabolomics, gene knockout, immunofluorescence, and Western blot were conducted. Finally, the potential anti-influenza effects of ACP via the gut-lung axis were evaluated based on in vivo and in vitro detection of protein expression of IFN-\u03b2, free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFAR2), and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS), as well as antiviral interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). In this study, we purified a novel polysaccharide, ACP-A1, with a backbone of\u21924)-\u03b1-D-Glcp-(1\u2192,\u21924)-\u03b2-D-Galp-(1\u2192, and \u21924,6)-\u03b1-D-Glcp-(1\u2192 linkages and \u03b1-D-Glcp-(1\u2192 branches at O-6. In H1N1-infected mice, oral ACP-A1 alleviated weight loss, increased survival, and reduced lung inflammation and viral load. Metagenomic and targeted metabolomic analyses showed that ACP-A1 enriched Limosilactobacillus reuteri and elevated acetate levels. Fecal microbiota transplantation, FFAR2 inhibition, and MAVS knockout experiments demonstrated that ACP-A1 enhances the FFAR2/MAVS/IFN-\u03b2 antiviral pathway via microbial-derived acetate. Collectively, our findings elucidate that ACP mitigates influenza virus-induced lung dysfunction by promoting the proliferation of acetate-producing gut microbiota, particularly Limosilactobacillus reuteri, and activating the FFAR2/MAVS/IFN-\u03b2 antiviral axis in pulmonary immune cells. These findings establish ACP-A1 as a natural polysaccharide regulating IFN-\u03b2 homeostasis, highlighting its potential for influenza prevention.",
"42401241": "ID: 42401241\nTitle: Endogenous-metabolite-inspired polyamine-oleic acid lipids for safe mRNA delivery and PCSK9 gene editing.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for nucleic acid delivery but often rely on synthetic ionizable cationic lipids that pose concerns regarding immunogenicity, metabolic compatibility, and tolerability. Here, we report an endogenous-metabolite-inspired lipid design strategy in which biogenic polyamines, including agmatine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine, were conjugated with oleic acid to generate polyamine-oleic acid lipids for mRNA delivery. Among these candidates, agmatine-oleic acid (Agm-oa) showed the best overall performance, forming LNPs with high mRNA encapsulation efficiency, uniform particle size distribution and robust in vitro transfection activity. Agm-oa displayed behavior distinct from that of classical ionizable lipids, with strong mRNA association likely mediated by its guanidinium-containing headgroup through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Beyond its delivery function, Agm-oa retained bioactivity associated with its agmatine-derived headgroup. Notably, agmatine and other bioactive metabolites released during Agm-oa degradation may suppress nitric oxide (NO) generation in macrophages while enhancing NO production in endothelial cells, suggesting that Agm-oa LNPs may confer anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effects following LNP decomposition. Moreover, Agm-oa LNPs-mediated adenine base editor delivery achieved efficient on-target editing at the PCSK9 locus. In hypercholesterolemic mice, Agm-oa LNPs enabled effective in vivo mRNA delivery and significant reduction of circulating LDL-C. Importantly, Agm-oa LNPs demonstrated a highly favorable safety profile compared to the benchmark formulations, with significantly lower serum LDH and IL-6 levels and minimal immunogenicity, alongside no detectable hepatotoxicity after repeated administration. Therefore, Agm-oa LNPs represent a safe, well-tolerated platform for nucleic acid delivery, with intrinsic bioactivity that may synergistically enhance therapeutic performance.",

We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses in 25 JN.1 mRNA vaccinees against eight variants, stratified by anti-nucleocapsid antibody serostatus. Postvaccination titers increased significantly against all variants in both N antibody-negative and -positive groups. Cross-neutralization against BA.3.2.2 was detected in both groups despite lower titers compared to JN.1. Antigenic cartography revealed that BA.3.2.2 was antigenically isolated from all JN.1-descendant variants. AZD3152/sipavibart retained potent neutralization against BA.3.2.2 but completely lost activity against all F456L-harboring JN.1-descendant variants, while VYD222/pemivibart and SA55 maintained broad activity. Retention of wild-type F456 in BA.3.2.2 preserves class 1/2 antibody epitopes, providing a mechanistic basis for cross-neutralization and suggesting a potential therapeutic window for sipavibart should BA.3.2.2 expand globally, pending clinical confirmation.",

These vaccines may be administered on the same day or sequentially, yet data on the immunogenicity of consecutive vaccinations in patients on dialysis remain limited. In this real-world observational study, we assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in dialysis patients receiving the monovalent XBB.1.5-vaccine followed by a quadrivalent influenza vaccine 14 days later, or either vaccine alone. Antigen-specific antibodies and T cells were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry. Baseline analyses showed that most patients had detectable SARS-CoV-2- and influenza-specific immunity prior to the vaccination season. Both vaccines substantially boosted pre-existing humoral and cellular responses. Among XBB.1.5-vaccinated patients, subsequent influenza vaccination did not alter the magnitude of spike-specific antibody or T-cell responses. Likewise, influenza vaccination had no non-specific effect on SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity. Spike-specific responses remained stable for six months and persisted at levels exceeding those of unvaccinated patients assessed during the same period. Sequential administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in patients on dialysis is feasible and was not associated with compromised immunogenicity of either vaccine. These findings support the use of booster vaccination in these patients and inform future deployment of additional mRNA-based vaccines.",

Since the FDA's first approval of patisiran in 2018, the field has expanded rapidly, with eight approved drugs and numerous clinical candidates. However, the atypical pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) profile of siRNAs, characterized by rapid plasma elimination, prolonged tissue retention, and temporal dissociation between exposure and effect, has created distinct obstacles for conventional dose-finding strategies. This review examines how model-informed drug development, particularly pharmacometric modeling, has emerged as an essential tool in the advancement of siRNA therapeutics. Population PK-PD models for all FDA-approved siRNA drugs are systematically described, demonstrating that mechanistic and semi-mechanistic approaches inform preclinical-to-clinical translation, optimize dosing regimens, and support regulatory decisions. Key modeling frameworks include: (1) mechanistic models incorporating asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR)-mediated uptake, RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) loading, and mRNA degradation kinetics; (2) minimal physiologically-based PK-PD models for interspecies scaling; and (3) exposure-response models addressing the disconnect between plasma PK and pharmacological activity. This review also discusses how quantitative pharmacology addresses developmental challenges, including first-in-human dose selection, optimal dosing intervals, organ impairment effects, and interindividual variability. This pharmacometric perspective provides a quantitative framework for rational development of safe and effective siRNA therapeutics across diverse patient populations.",

While \"naked\" RNA delivery could in principle solve these issues, studies have suggested that it is infeasible due to rapid degradation by RNases and poor cellular entry, thereby necessitating formulations that enhance intracellular delivery and RNA stability. Now, we challenge this paradigm by showing that a simple and inexpensive (<$1), lighter-derived electroporator with microneedle electrodes (Piezopen) can augment gene expression and immunogenicity to naked mRNA leading to comparable responses to LNPs at low doses. We achieve robust responses in the absence of systemic inflammation and reactogenicity using skin-targeted delivery, administer diverse construct types (i.e., mRNA, self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), circular RNA (circRNA)), and demonstrate cross-species validation in live human skin to derisk subsequent clinical application.

Using an extended activation-induced marker (AIM) assay based on OX40 (CD134) and CD25 coexpression, we quantified antigen-specific circulating memory Tfh and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells following in vitro stimulation with influenza, SARS-CoV-2, or measles antigens. Responses were assessed longitudinally in recipients of inactivated influenza (n\u2009=\u200920) and mRNA COVID-19 (n\u2009=\u200913) vaccines and cross-sectionally in individuals vaccinated with the live-attenuated measles vaccine (n\u2009=\u20098). All three vaccines elicited humoral responses. Functional assays, performed when sufficient cell numbers were available, showed that sorted influenza-specific Tfh cells (OX40+CD25+CXCR5+), cocultured with autologous CD27+CD19+ memory B cells, promoted B-cell expansion and antibody secretion. This was accompanied by increased CXCL13, IL-21, soluble CD40L, and APRIL, consistent with effective T-cell help and B-cell activation. Comparative analyses revealed distinct patterns of follicular immune responses: influenza vaccination induced coordinated Tfh and Tfr responses, whereas mRNA COVID-19 vaccination generated increased Tfh but minimal Tfr cells. At peak response, measles and influenza vaccinees exhibited comparable Tfh and Tfr frequencies, while COVID-19 vaccinees showed similar Tfh but reduced Tfr proportions. Overall, the extended AIM assay represents a practical and minimally invasive approach for simultaneous monitoring of Tfh and Tfr populations in humans, providing a scalable framework to investigate follicular immune balance across vaccination settings. Beyond enabling sensitive detection of antigen-specific memory responses, this approach highlights the importance of assessing both helper and regulatory follicular compartments to better understand vaccine-induced immunity.",

This study aims to systematically review the progress of research on the treatment of influenza with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from 2005 to 2025, identify current research hotspots, and forecast future development trends, in order to provide a clear and systematic reference framework for subsequent research. A bibliometric and scientometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), PubMed, and Scopus databases. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, the retrieved records underwent a comprehensive deduplication process and stringent quality control checks. By comprehensively applying CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R-based Bibliometrix package, metrics and visualization were performed across multiple dimensions, including publication volume, geographical contribution, annual trends, national/regional influence, core authors and institutions, and keywords. A total of 1,527 publications were included in this study. Since 2014, publication output in this field has shown significant growth, with a rapid upward trend emerging after 2020. At the national and institutional level, China ranked first globally in both the number of publications and total citation frequency. Research institutions in China not only serve as the dominant force in this field but also act as hubs for international collaboration. Notable contributions were made by institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Journal analysis revealed that the Journal of Ethnopharmacology is the most influential journal in this domain. In terms of scholarly impact, Yang Zifeng ranked first in both h-index and publication output, establishing them as the most prolific and influential core scholar in the field. Keyword analysis indicated that research focuses on core themes such as \"herbal medicine\" and \"antiviral activity.\" The evolutionary trajectory demonstrates a shift from traditional clinical practice toward modern mechanistic investigation. Driven by emerging public health events such as COVID-19, the field has rapidly integrated cutting-edge methodologies like network pharmacology, reflecting distinct characteristics of contemporary responsiveness and interdisciplinary convergence. This analysis confirms that TCM for influenza has matured into a structured and interdisciplinary research field. Substantial evidence supports its multi-component and multi-target therapeutic model as a clinically effective strategy against influenza.

"42424000": "ID: 42424000\nTitle: Immunotherapeutic modalities for combating multidrug-resistant bacteria: therapeutic promises of antibodies and next-generation vaccines.\nAbstract: There is a global rise of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains because of the use, misuse, and overuse of antibiotics, which is further causing major challenges in treating infections in clinical settings. Since 2000, only a few new antibiotics have been approved, and some of them have already been undermined because of the emergence of resistant bacteria. Pathogen-specific antibodies have the potential to serve as an alternative to antibiotics. These antibodies can bind to targets that are specific to the invading pathogens. Nonetheless, current advances in antibody engineering and molecular biology have allowed the generation of homogenous, defined, fully human and/or humanized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with a single antigen-specificity to target pathogens. Furthermore, the generation of mAbs only needs an antigen and an immunized or immune individual or an immunization platform. The emergence of MDR bacteria has greatly decreased the effectiveness of currently available antimicrobials, which has motivated the development of next-generation vaccines that are carefully designed to fight antibiotic resistance. Unlike traditional vaccines, vaccine platforms like recombinant protein, mRNA, and DNA vaccines are more innovative and effective in combating MDR-associated infections. In this review, the roles of both mAbs and next-generation vaccines against antibiotic-resistant infections, their mechanisms, preclinical and clinical trial-associated findings, and the advantages of using next-generation vaccines over traditional vaccines have been discussed. Moreover, the use of innovative tools like immunoinformatics and reverse vaccinology in developing next-generation vaccines against MDR bacteria has also been discussed in this review.",
"42424678": "ID: 42424678\nTitle: Shashen Maidong decoction alleviates influenza A virus-induced lung injury by modulating ZBP1-mediated PANoptosome assembly.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) infection characteristically induces lung injury through acute inflammation and epithelial barrier breakdown. Among the pathogenic mechanisms involved, Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1)-dependent PANoptosis plays a central role. While Shashen Maidong decoction (SMD) demonstrates clinical efficacy in respiratory conditions, the molecular mechanisms by which it modulates this particular mode of cell death require further elucidation. This study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of SMD against IAV-induced lung injury and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms, with particular emphasis on the ZBP1-PANoptosis pathway. The protective effects of SMD were evaluated in an IAV-induced lung injury mouse model. The chemical profile and absorbed constituents of SMD were identified using UPLC-MS/MS. Key signaling pathways were predicted through an integrated analysis of network pharmacology and transcriptomics, followed by in silico assessment of the binding potential to ZBP1 using molecular docking and dynamics simulations. To systematically examine the mechanism, specifically the modulation of ZBP1-PANoptosome complex formation and cell death markers, we utilized a series of molecular assays including Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP). SMD treatment significantly ameliorated multiple IAV-induced pathologies, including body weight loss, pulmonary edema, histological injury, and pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Unlike oseltamivir, which significantly reduced infectious viral titers, SMD did not markedly alter viral NP and M mRNA levels or viral titers under these experimental conditions. Nevertheless, SMD substantially improved alveolar barrier function, as demonstrated by reduced BALF protein content and enhanced expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins. Integrated analysis of network pharmacology and transcriptomics revealed significant enrichment of inflammation-, programmed cell death-, apoptosis-, and necroptosis-related pathways, while ZBP1 emerged as a convergent candidate target. Based on the established role of ZBP1 in IAV-induced PANoptosis, ZBP1-mediated PANoptosis signaling was therefore selected as a candidate mechanistic axis for subsequent experimental assessment. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suggested a potential interaction between ZBP1 and 18\u03b2-glycyrrhetinic acid, a representative serum-absorbed candidate constituent of SMD. Mechanistic investigations revealed that SMD suppressed ZBP1 expression and attenuated downstream activation of pyroptotic, apoptotic, and necroptotic markers. Furthermore, Co-IP and triple-immunofluorescence analyses showed reduced association and colocalization among ZBP1, RIPK3, and Caspase-8, consistent with reduced PANoptosome assembly. SMD exerted protective effects against IAV-induced lung injury in association with ZBP1 downregulation, reduced association of PANoptosome-related components, preserved alveolar epithelial barrier function, and dampened inflammatory cascades. This study provides preliminary evidence for the molecular basis of SMD in modulating the ZBP1-PANoptosis pathway, providing scientific rationale for host-directed traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) strategies in severe influenza management.",
"42424692": "ID: 42424692\nTitle: Lymph node-targeted mRNA delivery of fine-tuned peptide-nanocomplexes for SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines require efficient delivery systems to reach antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a standard delivery carrier. However, LNPs often accumulate in the liver and exhibit transient protein expression. These limitations can restrict their safety and immunogenic potential. Here, we developed a modular, peptide-based nanocomplex to overcome the current limitations. The system comprises three functional peptides: an RNA-binding peptide (RBP) for condensation, l-polyglutamic acid (PGA) for charge modulation, and an APC-targeting cell-penetrating peptide (A-CPP). This A-CPP features a newly discovered 7-mer immune cell-binding motif identified in this study. We optimized the physicochemical properties by systematically fine-tuning the ratios of these peptide modules. The optimized nanocomplex formed stable particles under 200\u202fnm. Unlike LNPs, which showed significant liver accumulation, the peptide-nanocomplexes remained localized at the injection site and effectively drained to the lymph nodes. Furthermore, the peptide-nanocomplex retained mRNA expression for up to 7 days in vivo, whereas LNP-mediated expression diminished within 48\u202fh. In mice immunized with SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA, this prolonged antigen exposure elicited robust neutralizing antibody titers comparable to LNPs. Notably, the peptide-nanocomplex induced significantly higher CD8+ T cell responses than LNPs. Moreover, the peptide-nanocomplex demonstrated an excellent safety profile in vivo with no toxicity observed even after daily injections for two weeks at doses up to 200 times higher. This study establishes a data-driven fine-tuning strategy for peptide-based mRNA delivery. The resulting peptide-nanocomplex offers a safer, lymph node-targeted, and longer-lasting efficacy alternative to lipid-based carriers for next-generation vaccines.",
"42427150": "ID: 42427150\nTitle: Self-Cooperative RNA Vaccine Mitigates Dendritic Cell-Mediated Acquired Immune Resistance to Potentiate Cell Therapy for Solid Tumors.\nAbstract: Conventional mRNA cancer vaccines are designed to maximize antigen potency but often overlook vaccination-induced immune resistance. In this study, we identified a negative immune regulatory mechanism, whereby mRNA vaccination induces programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in dendritic cells (DCs) through type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. Elevated PD-L1 expression impairs T-cell priming in lymph nodes through engagement of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) on T lymphocytes. To address this challenge, we developed a self-cooperative RNA vaccine (SCORV) strategy by co-delivering antigen-encoding RNA and small interfering RNA against PD-L1 (siPD-L1) within a single lipid nanoparticle (LNP). Through iterative screening of >300 ionizable lipids, we optimized a DC-targeted LNP formulation with high RNA delivery efficiency and minimal immunotoxicity. SCORV simultaneously suppresses PD-L1-mediated immune resistance during antigen presentation and enhances T cell priming while alleviating T cell exhaustion. Importantly, SCORV potentiates the tumor reactivity of adoptively transferred tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and elicits robust antitumor immunity in murine melanoma and hepatocellular carcinoma models. This work highlights a rational design principle for mRNA vaccines that self-correct vaccination-induced immune resistance.",
"42428244": "ID: 42428244\nTitle: The application of CRISPR gene-editing technology in influenza prevention and control.\nAbstract: Influenza A virus (IAV) and influenza B virus (IBV) remain major global public health threats because of their rapid antigenic evolution and efficient human-to-human transmission. In contrast, influenza C virus (ICV) and influenza D virus (IDV) generally exhibit narrower host ranges and milder pathogenicity, yet their potential for interspecies transmission and zoonotic spillover still warrants attention. Conventional prevention strategies, such as inactivated and live-attenuated vaccines, suffer from prolonged development timelines and diminished efficacy against rapidly evolving viral strains. However, antiviral drugs are increasingly limited by the rapid emergence of drug-resistant variants. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) gene-editing technology has emerged as a promising platform for influenza prevention and control owing to its programmability and precise targeting capability. In this paper, we summarize recent advances in CRISPR-based strategies for influenza prevention and control. The RNA-targeting CRISPR-associated protein 13 (Cas13) system can recognize conserved viral RNA sequences and suppress replication across influenza subtypes, whereas the DNA-targeting CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system can edit host susceptibility genes and thereby reduce cellular permissiveness to infection. In addition, lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based delivery systems have become important tools for improving the in vivo delivery and expression of CRISPR components by enhancing targeting efficiency and reducing immunogenicity. CRISPR-based diagnostics, such as Specific High-sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter unLOCKing (SHERLOCK), further expand the clinical utility of this technology by enabling rapid and sensitive detection of influenza viruses. Despite these advances, substantial challenges remain, including delivery inefficiency, off-target activity, long-term safety concerns, and the risk of viral escape. With continued technological refinement and careful translational development, CRISPR may become a versatile tool for influenza prevention, diagnosis, and therapy.",

This study aimed to determine the overall incidence and types of\u00a0AEFIs, as well as the factors associated with their occurrence, during COVI-19 mass vaccination campaigns in Democratic Republic of Congo. From December 1-29, 2023, a prospective safety surveillance study was conducted in Kinshasa Province. Participants were surveyed through phone calls from day 1-28 following COVID-19 vaccine administration. AEFI incidence rates were calculated by type of vaccine, sex, number of dose and age group. Factors associated with\u00a0AEFIs\u00a0were identified using multivariable logistic regression models, expressed by adjusted odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval. The study included 4766 participants. Their median [IQR] age was 36 [27-48] years and 2503 (53%) were males, 94.63% received the J&J vaccine while 256 (5.37%) received the BNT162b2 vaccine. Incidence of AEFIs was 23.75% (95%CI: 22.54%-24.99%). AEFIs mostly reported were fever (9.61%, 95%CI: 8.88%-10.48%), injection site pain (9.00%, 95%CI: 8.20%-9.85%), headache (4.11%, 95%CI: 3.57%-4.72%), stiffness (1.51%, 95%CI: 1.18%-1.89%) and myalgia (1.15%, 95%CI: 0.87%-1.49%). The incidence of AEFIs was higher for the BNT162b2 vaccine at 34.48% (95% CI: 28.57%-40.54%) vs. 23.15% (95% CI: 21.92%-24.41%) for the J&J vaccine. Compared to participants aged 18-59 years, those under 18 years old were associated with decreased odds of reporting any AEFI (aOR= 0.26, 95%CI: 0.13-0.88) and injection site pain (aOR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.05-0.75). Those aged 60 years and older were associated with decreased odds of reporting any AEFI (aOR= 0.78, 95%CI: 0.62-0.99) and fever (aOR=0. 63, 95%CI: 0.43-0.92). Approximately one-quarter of participants reported AEFI. The observed association with vaccine type and age underscores the need for systematic vaccine safety monitoring in the population. This is critical for guiding future vaccination strategies tailored to individuals who may be more susceptible to AEFIs.",

Five authorized vaccines were included in the analysis: tozinameran (Comirnaty\u00ae), elasomeran (Spikevax\u00ae), ChAdOx1-S (Vaxzevria\u00ae), Ad26.COV2-S (Jcovden\u00ae), and the SARS-CoV-2-S protein with Matrix-M (Nuvaxovid\u00ae). Among the four adverse events recognized by the European Medicines Agency the following were analysed: reactogenicity in response to vaccines, myocarditis associated with mRNA vaccines, and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) associated with viral vector vaccines. A reactogenicity score was developed from PV data, based on reported symptoms and their intensity showing higher reactogenicity with viral vector vaccines. A parallel score was developed from non-clinical data (biomarkers and histopathological analysis). No correlation was evidenced between clinical outcomes and non-clinical parameters. For rare adverse events, the analysis identified clinical biomarkers such as troponin in the case of myocarditis. These rare events were not predicted by non-clinical studies as expected. While non-clinical studies currently meet regulatory safety requirements, their predictive capacity could be enhanced by integrating a reactogenicity scoring system, harmonizing biomarker monitoring, and adding targeted parameters based on clinical evidence.",
"42440506": "ID: 42440506\nTitle: CD4 T cell phenotype after AS01-adjuvanted immunization is shaped by prior antigen or pathogen exposure.\nAbstract: CD4 T-cell responses are important for the protection conferred by many infectious disease vaccines and can be quantitatively and qualitatively improved by adjuvants. The AS01 adjuvant is present in critical licensed or candidate vaccines against, amongst others, zoster, respiratory syncytial virus, malaria and tuberculosis. During their clinical development, these vaccines have been evaluated in populations ranging from immunologically na\u00efve to strongly pathogen-primed individuals. We dissected the vaccine-induced CD4 T-cell responses across these studies, to elucidate how pre-existing immune memory in the host drives the polyfunctional phenotype of the vaccine-induced CD4 T cells. Across the investigated vaccines, a consistent pattern emerged, in which the capacity of antigen-specific vaccine-induced CD4 T cells to produce interferon-\u03b3 appeared to depend on increased levels of prior exposure, leading to pre-existing memory T cells. As the dominant origin of a vaccine-induced CD4 T-cell response (i.e., memory cells with a pre-existing T-cell receptor repertoire, or newly recruited na\u00efve cells) remains to be clarified, this observation helps to guide future research into efficacious next-generation vaccines tailored to the specific immune priming status of the target population.",

Vaccination remains a key influenza prevention strategy; however, current seasonal influenza vaccines based on traditional platforms provide inconsistent protection. Messenger RNA - based vaccines may offer several key advantages over other vaccines, including the flexibility to optimize antigen expression to enhance immunogenicity without the need for adjuvants. mRNA-1010 is an investigational seasonal influenza vaccine candidate that encodes hemagglutinins (HAs) from WHO-recommended influenza strains. In this randomized, phase 2 study, safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 y in the United States (NCT05868382). Eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of one of the mRNA-1010 compositions at several dose levels. The primary objective was the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1010 vaccine candidate compositions against vaccine-matched strains; secondary and exploratory objectives included humoral and cellular immunogenicity at evaluable timepoints, respectively. Two hundred and seventy participants received study vaccination between May and December 2023. All mRNA-1010 vaccine compositions were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified; all compositions induced HA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses against all influenza strains evaluated, with the optimized compositions exhibiting higher immune responses against influenza B strains compared with the original mRNA-1010 composition. These results, together with findings from other mRNA-1010 clinical studies, support continued evaluation of mRNA-1010 for enhanced protection against seasonal influenza.Clinical Trials Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05868382.",

A spleen-homing LNP formulation, CL15H6 LNPs, was used to deliver mRNAs encoding for the epitopes of HCC-specific neoantigens; Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and Glypican 3 (GPC3), to splenic dendritic cells (DCs) via intravenous administration. The mRNA delivery efficiency and subsequent cellular immune responses were assessed post-administration. The prophylactic and therapeutic activities were then evaluated against HCC challenges in mice, and the biosafety of the developed vaccine was evaluated through histo-pathological, serological, and cytokine examinations. CL15H6 LNPs demonstrated functional mRNA delivery efficiency, antigen presentation efficiency, and expression of co-stimulatory molecules on splenic DCs that proved superior to that of clinically relevant formulations, and also elicited a higher proportion of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Pre-immunization with two doses of the developed bivalent vaccine completely protected mice from HCC challenge, unlike the corresponding monovalent vaccines. Moreover, treatment of HCC-bearing mice with two doses of the bivalent vaccine successfully eliminated HCC. Characterization of the immune microenvironment in the spleen post-treatment revealed a high upregulation of CTL-related genes, immunostimulatory cytokines, and memory function markers. Furthermore, repeated administrations of the developed vaccine induced less pro-inflammatory cytokines than a clinically relevant counterpart, and neither damaged tissues nor impaired organ functions. The novel neoantigen vaccine and the versatile mRNA delivery platform reported herein are promising for use in clinical applications.",
"42444941": "ID: 42444941\nTitle: Transmembrane mucin 21 drives lung adenocarcinoma growth by suppressing retinoic acid receptor \u03b2 signaling.\nAbstract: Lung cancer remains the most prevalent and lethal malignancy worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer accounting for >85% of cases and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) representing a predominant histological subtype. LUAD exhibits marked molecular heterogeneity, early dissemination, and a strong tendency for distant metastasis, but the key molecular circuits driving its progression remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate molecular markers governing the growth of LUAD, along with their underlying mechanisms. Mucin (MUC)21 expression was examined in LUAD patient tissues (16 paired fresh samples and 35 paraffin\u2011embedded cases) and cell lines (BEAS-2B, A549, NCI\u2011H838, NCI\u2011H1395) by qPCR, western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Stable knockdown (KD) and overexpression (OE) of MUC21 were established in LUAD cells to assess proliferation (CCK\u20118, EdU), migration (wound healing), and invasion (Matrigel Transwell) in vitro. Xenograft models in nude mice were used to evaluate tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistic involvement of retinoic acid receptor \u03b2 (RAR\u03b2) was tested via rescue experiments with RAR\u03b2 co\u2011silencing. MUC21 was significantly upregulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines, with membrane\u2011localized enrichment in tumors. High MUC21 expression correlated with poorer progression\u2011free survival in patients. Functionally, MUC21 OE promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while MUC21 KD suppressed these malignant traits. In the xenograft model, MUC21 OE accelerated tumor growth and increased the Ki-67 proliferation index, whereas its silencing restrained tumor growth and enhanced apoptosis. Mechanistically, dysregulated MUC21 influenced gene pathways associated with retinoic acid signaling. MUC21 negatively correlated with the nuclear receptor RAR\u03b2, with MUC21 KD increasing RAR\u03b2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein levels, coinciding with reduced proliferation and invasiveness, and MUC21 OE repressing RAR\u03b2 expression. Notably, RAR\u03b2 co-silencing partially rescued MUC21-KD-induced suppression of LUAD proliferation, migration, and invasion, positioning RAR\u03b2 as a key downstream mediator. These findings present the MUC21-RAR\u03b2 regulatory axis as a critical regulator of LUAD malignant progression and highlight the therapeutic potential of MUC21, offering novel insights and linking MUC-driven membrane signaling with RAR\u03b2-associated nuclear differentiation programs.",

This study aims to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for COVID-19 booster doses and identify determinants of demand among Vietnamese adults during the transition to a user-fee mechanism. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2024 in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, involving 405 adult participants recruited through convenience sampling from a single hospital setting. Data were collected through direct interviews using a structured questionnaire. The Contingent Valuation Method utilizing a double-bounded dichotomous choice format was employed to elicit WTP. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to determine factors associated with willingness to pay, while linear regression analysis was applied to examine determinants of the payment amount. Among 405 participants, the estimated mean WTP for a COVID-19 booster dose was VND 410,046 (approx. US$ 15.7), whereas the median WTP was significantly lower at VND 201,307 (approx. US$ 7.7), indicating a right-skewed distribution. Multivariable logistic regression showed that married participants and those in higher income groups were more likely to report willingness to pay, whereas poor self-rated health and prior adverse events following vaccination were associated with lower willingness to pay. Linear regression analysis indicated that female participants and older individuals reported lower payment amounts, while those with a prior history of COVID-19 infection reported higher payment amounts. Notably, the median WTP was substantially lower than the estimated market price of imported mRNA vaccines, indicating a potential affordability gap between stated valuation and prevailing market prices for COVID-19 booster vaccination. These findings emphasize the necessity of flexible financing approaches to maintain vaccine uptake and prevent widening disparities during the transition to paid vaccination. As the study was conducted using convenience sampling at a single hospital, the findings should be interpreted with consideration of limited generalizability.",

In August 2019, the first confirmed outbreak of LSD was documented in the Xinjiang region of China. In response to this emerging threat, our study established primary, basic, and working seed banks utilizing the LSDV/MZGD/2020 strain, which was isolated from Meizhou, Guangdong. These seed banks underwent rigorous validation via sterility assays and evaluation of proliferation characteristics. Optimal inactivation parameters for the virus were identified through systematic screening of different concentrations of \u03b2-propiolactone. Based on these optimized conditions, we developed two inactivated vaccine formulations: one employing the 201VG adjuvant and the other utilizing aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Safety assessments demonstrated that both vaccines induced no significant irritation or adverse reactions in New Zealand rabbits and dairy cows, and that pathological examinations revealed no abnormal lesions. Immunogenicity analysis showed that the LSDV-201VG inactivated vaccine elicited robust and sustained serum neutralizing and specific antibody responses in cattle, with elevated antibody titers detected from weeks 4-5 and persisting for up to 8 weeks. In contrast, the vaccine formulated with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant generated relatively low antibody levels and failed to achieve requisite immunogenicity thresholds. Collectively, these results indicate that the LSDV-201VG inactivated vaccine exhibits high safety and immunogenic efficacy, providing a robust technical strategy for the prevention and control of LSD in China and Southeast Asia.",

Although several promising WNV vaccines have been developed, none have been approved for human use. Studies were conducted to evaluate the immunogenicity, protective efficacy, and safety of a recombinant subunit WNV candidate vaccine (WN-80E) formulated with aluminum hydroxide (Alhydrogel\u2122) adjuvant and/or in combination with a semi-synthetic saponin (GPI-0100) adjuvant in mice and hamsters, and for toxicology, immunogenicity and safety in rabbits. Adult mice and hamsters were immunized twice via the intramuscular (IM) route 3 to 4 weeks apart with escalating doses of WN-80E adsorbed to Alhydrogel\u2122. Mice were also immunized with WN-80E in combination with the GPI-0100 adjuvant. All animals were subsequently challenged with a lethal dose of virulent WNV. The rabbits received four IM immunizations 3 weeks apart with WN-80E/Alhydrogel\u2122 that was compared to WN-80E/Alhydrogel\u2122 plus various amounts of GPI-0100. The results of immunogenicity and challenge experiments demonstrated that all WN-80E vaccine formulations with Alhydrogel\u2122 with or without GPI-0100 were immunogenic and afforded complete protection to mice and hamsters against morbidity and mortality following challenge with WNV. Also, the WN-80E/Alhydrogel formulations with or without GPI-0100 were well tolerated and elicited high neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers in rabbits. Cumulatively, because these findings demonstrated that the WN-80E formulated with Alhydrogel\u2122 alone elicited robust antibody responses and protection against viral challenge, this formulation was selected for further evaluation in clinical trials for the prevention of WNV disease in humans.",

The outcomes of these infections are largely determined by how the host innate immune system detects pathogen-derived nucleic acids and regulates subsequent inflammatory responses. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) located in endosomal and cytosolic compartments, including toll-like receptors, RIG-I-like receptors, absent in melanoma 2, and Z-DNA-binding protein 1, as well as the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathway, recognize viral and bacterial nucleic acids and initiate signaling cascades that promote cytokine production and antimicrobial defense. However, dysregulated PRR activation can trigger inflammatory programmed cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, and PANoptosis. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding how nucleic acid sensing orchestrates inflammatory cell death during respiratory infections, with particular emphasis on pathogen- and cell type-specific mechanisms that shape disease outcomes. We further highlight the dual nature of these pathways, which are essential for pathogen clearance but can drive immunopathology when excessively activated. Defining how nucleic acid-sensing pathways shape inflammatory cell death in respiratory infections may guide host-directed therapies that enhance pathogen clearance while preserving lung function. Overall, the field remains constrained by the predominance of virus-focused and murine preclinical studies, whereas bacterial nucleic acid sensing during respiratory infections remains poorly defined. Future studies should integrate major bacterial infection models with human-relevant respiratory epithelial systems to better translate PRR-mediated immune mechanisms into host-directed therapeutic strategies.",

Improving clinical outcomes will require innovative therapeutic approaches that target unique molecular vulnerabilities. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway drives tumor progression across multiple cancers, including GBM. MAPK-interacting kinases (MNK1/2) represent MAPK downstream effectors that phosphorylate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), a regulator of oncogenic and anti-apoptotic mRNA translation. We previously identified pharmacological MNK inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for GBM, but most available MNK inhibitors lack specificity. Methods: Novel MNK inhibitor compounds were developed using medicinal chemistry optimization and evaluated through molecular docking and kinome profiling analyses. Antineoplastic activity was assessed in established GBM cell lines and patient-derived glioma stem cell models cultured as 3-D neurospheres under stem cell-permissive conditions. Effects on MNK signaling, cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were analyzed using immunoblotting, flow cytometry, viability assays, wound healing assays, and 3-D invasion assays. In addition, a compound screen was performed to identify therapeutic agents that enhance MNK-targeted therapy, followed by validation using pharmacological inhibition and siRNA-mediated knockdown approaches. Results: Our next-generation MNK inhibitor NUCC-201893 exhibited high target specificity and greater potency than the lead compound NU808, effectively suppressing eIF4E phosphorylation, GBM cell viability, neurosphere growth, migration, and invasion. Compound screening identified DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibition as a potent enhancer of MNK blockade. Pharmacological DNMT inhibition enhanced the cytotoxic effects of siRNA-mediated MNK1 knockdown, while concurrent pharmacological inhibition of MNKs and DNMT resulted in greater suppression of neurosphere growth and robust induction of apoptotic responses in GSCs. Conclusions: These findings identify dual MNK and DNMT inhibition as a promising combinatorial strategy that effectively triggers antineoplastic effects in GBM cells and GSCs.",

This narrative review provides a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art in herpesvirus-vectored vaccines for veterinary applications, focusing on five well-characterized alphaherpesviruses: Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1), Pseudorabies virus (PRV), Marek's disease virus (MDV), Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), and Duck enteritis virus (DEV). The intrinsic characteristics of herpesviruses, including large, stable genomes; the capacity for foreign gene insertion; broad host tropism; and the ability to elicit robust humoral and cellular immunity, are examined, and their performance is compared with that of traditional vaccine platforms. Key advances in vectored vaccine development are highlighted, from proof-of-concept studies to the creation of advanced multivalent constructs. These approaches demonstrate protective efficacy against a range of significant animal pathogens, including foot-and-mouth disease virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, avian influenza virus, infectious bursal disease virus, and West Nile virus. The literature was identified through systematic searches of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science (1990-2026), followed by title/abstract screening and reference chaining.

Dihydroceramide desaturase 1 (DES1) catalyses the conversion of dihydroceramide (dhCer) into Cer in the de novo sphingolipid pathway. While pharmacological inhibition of DES1 has shown therapeutic benefits in metabolic disease and cancer models, its role in cardiac remodelling remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether pharmacological inhibition of DES1 using the novel compound, CIN038, attenuates cardiac remodelling following ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Three-month-old male C57Bl/6 mice underwent I/R or sham surgery (n = 8) and were treated with vehicle or CIN038 (50 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for 28 days. Cardiac function, molecular changes, and lipid profiles in circulation and liver were assessed at the endpoint. CIN038 reduced infarct size and cardiac myocyte hypertrophy compared to the I/R + vehicle group. Profibrotic signalling was reduced in the infarcted hearts, as evidenced by reduced expression of Col1a1, Col3a1, and Tgfb mRNA and decreased levels of \u03b1-SMA and TGF\u03b21 protein expression. Inflammatory signalling was attenuated with reduced ERK and NFkB phosphorylation and suppression of Il-6-STAT axis. Despite these structural and molecular improvements, no changes were observed in cardiac function. Lipidomic analysis revealed selective alterations in circulating and hepatic lipid species, including plasmalogen phosphatidylethanolamines and ether-linked triglycerides, suggesting modulation of lipid metabolism. Collectively, these findings indicate that CIN038 attenuates post-ischemic cardiac remodelling by suppressing inflammatory and profibrotic signalling, highlighting DES1 as a potential therapeutic target following MI.",

It aimed to compare serum Galectin-3 levels among NSTEMI patients according to COVID-19 vaccination status and vaccine type. Methods: A total of 75 patients with NSTEMI were prospectively enrolled and categorized into three groups: inactivated vaccine recipients (n = 25), mRNA vaccine recipients (n = 25), and unvaccinated controls (n = 25). Serum Galectin-3 levels were measured to assess chronic inflammatory status. Additionally, markers of acute myocardial injury and inflammatory response were analyzed. Results: Galectin-3 levels were similar across the inactivated vaccine, mRNA vaccine, and unvaccinated NSTEMI group, with no statistically significant difference observed (p = 0.481). Although troponin I levels and acute inflammatory cell burden were higher in vaccinated patients compared with the unvaccinated NSTEMI group, Galectin-3 levels remained comparable among all groups. No significant differences in Galectin-3 levels were observed according to vaccination status or vaccine type. Conclusions: In this exploratory cohort of NSTEMI patients, serum Galectin-3 levels did not differ significantly according to COVID-19 vaccination status or vaccine type. These findings suggest no detectable association between vaccination history and Galectin-3 levels in the study population. Larger prospective studies with longitudinal follow-up are needed to confirm these observations.",

To identify and evaluate molecular-based risk prediction models for recurrence and survival following curative treatment of early-stage NSCLC. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and a published PROSPERO protocol. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies published between January 2000 and December 2023. Eligible studies reported performance metrics of molecular-based models predicting recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival, or overall survival following curative treatment for NSCLC. Data extraction was performed using the CHARMS framework, risk of bias was assessed using PROBAST, and model performance metrics were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Of 2447 records identified, five studies met the inclusion criteria. All models used Cox proportional hazards regression. Molecular predictors included mRNA expression profiles (n\u2009=\u20093), long noncoding RNAs (n\u2009=\u20091), and DNA methylation biomarkers (n\u2009=\u20091). Internal validation studies reported AUC values ranging from 0.66 to 0.89, with a pooled AUC of 0.77 (95% CI\u2009=\u20090.66-0.90; I2\u2009=\u200988.4%).

These epitopes were fused in series with the cholera toxin B subunit to develop a multivalent fusion vaccine. The immunogenicity of the recombinant vaccine was systematically evaluated after it was administered to C57BL/6 mice. The serum titers of UCVH-specific IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a antibodies and the mucosal sIgA concentration increased significantly. The splenic lymphocytes also increased their secretion of key cytokines, including IFN-\u03b3, IL-4, and IL-17\u00a0A. These findings demonstrate the excellent immunogenicity of the cholera toxin B subunit-adjuvanted UCVH multi-epitope vaccine and its ability to induce potent humoral immunity and comprehensive cellular immune responses. They provide a crucial experimental foundation for further optimization of Helicobacter pylori vaccines and subsequent studies on anti-infective protection.",

Updated COVID-19 vaccines, including bivalent formulations (wild type [WT]/BA.1 or WT/BA.5) and more recent monovalent versions targeting emerging variants such as XBB.1.5, JN.1, KP.2 or LP.8.1, were developed to broaden protection. However, immune imprinting may limit the induction of neutralizing antibodies against strains that differ significantly, even after receiving several variant-specific boosters. A deeper understanding of how booster vaccination reshapes antibody specificity remains essential for rational vaccine design. We examined the antibody response to a bivalent WT/BA.5 booster, focusing on antibody levels and neutralization. Serum samples collected before and after a fourth dose of monovalent WT or bivalent (WT/BA.5) mRNA vaccines were compared with sera from individuals after primary WT infections and Omicron BA.1, BA.2, or BA.5 breakthrough infections. We found that both monovalent and bivalent boosters significantly increased IgG and neutralizing antibodies, but breakthrough infections induced broader cross-reactive responses. Depletion experiments revealed that booster-induced immunity was predominantly mediated by cross-reactive antibodies, with the highest levels after breakthrough infections and the lowest after a primary WT infection. These findings provide functional insights into the antibody specificities associated with imprinting effects following variant-adapted booster vaccination.",

However, head smut-infected sorghum and maize have been traditionally utilized for edible and medicinal purposes in some regions. In this study, the structure and immunostimulatory potency of a new slightly branched \u03b2-glucan WM-0.25(P) obtained from the S. reilianum-infected sorghum head smut were explored. WM-0.25(P) was a \u03b2-glucan with a molecular weight of 69.67\u00a0kDa and was composed of \u03b2-1,6-D-Glcp as the main chain and \u03b2-1,3-D-Glcp as the side chain. There was approximately one branch for every 11 sugars on the main chain. WM-0.25(P) triggered morphological alterations, enhanced phagocytic activity, and upregulated the expression of surface molecules, while promoting the production of ROS, NO, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2) in RAW264.7 macrophages. The function blocking antibodies to toll-like receptor revealed that TLR4 mainly participated in the recognition and immunostimulatory function of WM-0.25(P). Simultaneously, WM-0.25(P) modulated macrophage inflammatory response mainly through activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. The results indicated that WM-0.25(P), with a low branching degree derived from S. reilianum-infected sorghum head smut, exerted moderate immunomodulatory effects on macrophages. Further in vivo studies are warranted to evaluate its translational potential.",

Retrospective epidemiological data have revealed a lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and a reduced fatality rate among pwCF than in the general population, possibly from the stringent infection control measures and early adoption of protective behaviors. Despite several reports of adequate binding and neutralizing titers after vaccination, the molecular features of vaccine-elicited serum antibody repertoires in pwCF remain unknown. We performed high-resolution proteomic analysis of serum IgG, combined with next-generation sequencing of B cells, to quantitatively profile Spike (S)-reactive serological repertoires from nine infection-na\u00efve pwCF after two doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. We recombinantly expressed 20 IgG clonotypes from 6 pwCF as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and measured their binding and neutralization against vaccine-strain and variant viruses. All donors mounted strong binding and neutralizing titers to vaccine-strain virus. Ig-Seq revealed diverse serum repertoires in all vaccinees, with antibodies targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD) comprising 64% of each circulating repertoire by abundance. Several serum IgG clonotypes identified across our cohort shared identical or similar IGHV and CDRH3 amino acid sequences with serum IgG from other pwCF or S-reactive mAbs isolated from non-CF individuals. These 'convergent' antibodies made up 14.6% of the anti-S repertoires in our cohort, reaching 24.8% in one pwCF. Convergent antibodies tended to be RBD-reactive and enriched in specific IGHV ; surprisingly, a higher abundance of convergent antibodies in serum correlated with a lower breadth of serum neutralization. All 20 mAbs bound Wuhan S with high affinity (EC 50 < 10 nM), and only RBD-reactive mAbs conferred neutralization to vaccine or variant pseudovirus. While most mAbs bound both the B.1.617.2 (Delta, 17/20) and B.1.1.529 (Omicron, 12/20) strains, convergent mAbs were less likely to bind either variant. Post-vaccine serum IgG repertoires in pwCF are dominated by RBD-focused, high-affinity antibodies and include a substantial convergent component shared with non-CF vaccinees. These findings demonstrate that pwCF mount antibody responses comparable to the general population, and a large group of convergent antibodies may contribute to strain-specific rather than cross-variant immunity.",
"42465772": "ID: 42465772\nTitle: Molecular signaling in coinfection: how M. tuberculosis and respiratory viruses rewire host immunity and alter TB outcomes.\nAbstract: Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) and respiratory viral infections remain major, intersecting global health challenges, and their co-occurrence imposes a disproportionate burden in high-HIV/high-TB regions such as sub-Saharan Africa. Coinfection biology is heterogeneous and dynamic, driven by viral diversity including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A/B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), parainfluenza, metapneumovirus, rhinovirus, adenovirus, and bocavirus, and by the underlying TB stage, from latent and subclinical to active and reactivation disease. Innate sensing pathways, such as Toll-like receptors (TLR), retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING), converge during coinfection, reshaping type I interferon (IFN-I), Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-\u03baB), and AP-1-driven responses and triggering a network of autocrine and paracrine signaling that reprograms macrophages, dendritic cells, and T-cell subsets. This immune rewiring alters granuloma equilibrium through suppressed Th1/IFN-\u03b3 coordination, exaggerated Th17/IL-17-driven neutrophilia, and regulatory T-cell or IL-10-mediated dampening, which together destabilize macrophage activation and tissue architecture. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP)-driven matrix remodeling further integrate with these pathways, converting inflammatory signals into epithelial damage, cavitation, and fibrosis. Consequently, disease outcomes depend critically on timing, viral burden, pathogen order, host immune endotype, and TB stage, such that the same virus can either preserve containment or drive progression depending on the local immunological context. Importantly, the effects of respiratory viral coinfection vary across the TB disease continuum, influencing early granuloma formation, latent infection, reactivation risk, and established disease through distinct immunological mechanisms. Host-directed therapies (HDT) targeting interferon, IL-1, TNF, inflammasome, or metabolic checkpoints hold mechanistic promise but exhibit variable clinical translation, underscoring the need for precision approaches that integrate stage- and endotype-specific biomarkers. This narrative review proposes an integrated systems framework that links viral sensing, immune rewiring, granuloma biology, and tissue-remodeling to TB-respiratory virus coinfection, and emphasizes how timing-aware, biomarker-guided strategies can refine diagnosis, clinical management, prognosis, and vaccine design in vulnerable populations.",

To address this problem, a large longitudinal cohort study was conducted using National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) data. While COVID-19 infection was associated with increased GBS occurrence, COVID-19 vaccination was associated with significantly reduced GBS risk relative to unexposed (unvaccinated and uninfected) control, corresponding to a 61% lower 30-day risk (incidence risk ratio: IRR = 0.39, P < 0.01), consistent with multivariable Cox regression showing a similar reduction (adjusted hazard ratio: aHR = 0.41, P < 0.01). This protective association was observed only among recipients of mRNA vaccines (BNT162b2: IRR = 0.38, P < 0.01; mRNA-1273: IRR = 0.24, P < 0.01), but not among recipients of adenoviral-vector vaccines (IRR = 1.38, P > 0.05). Prior COVID-19 vaccination also reduced infection-associated GBS risk. Additional factors associated with GBS risk included sex, vaccine dose, and pre-existing comorbidities such as stroke, neurological disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Overall, our N3C large-scale study provides evidence that COVID-19 mRNA vaccination reduces GBS risk, supporting the safety profile of mRNA vaccines and warranting further mechanistic investigation.",

Despite its high immunogenicity, the cellular mechanisms by which mRNA-LNP induces such unusual immune responses remain largely unclear. Here, we show that mRNA-LNP induces potent and long-lasting CD8 T cell expansion through an antigen presentation mechanism that differs from that of conventional adjuvants. In mice immunized with mRNA-LNP, the number of antigen-specific CD8 T cells was one order of magnitude higher than that induced by combining antigen proteins with immunostimulants such as lipopolysaccharide or polyinosinic:polycytidinic acid. Intramuscularly administered mRNA-LNPs were mainly taken up by migratory type 2 conventional dendritic cells in draining lymph nodes, resulting in notably strong and persistent antigen presentation through major histocompatibility complex class I. Furthermore, CD8 T cell induction by mRNA-LNP required migratory dendritic cells but not the traditional cross-presentation pathway that is otherwise essential for antiviral and antitumor immunity. Thus, the mRNA-LNP formulation exerts unconventional immune responses through a different antigen-presentation pathway from conventional component vaccines.",

Herein, QS-21, an FDA-approved saponin with membrane-disruptive capability was loaded onto an aluminum-based adjuvant (denoted as QS-NanoAlum) to induce LMP effects and trigger tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD) through a \"self-lysis\" mechanism. Leveraging its positive surface charge, intratumorally administered QS-NanoAlum could be easily adhered to tumor cell membranes, facilitating efficient cellular internalization. Within the acidic lysosomal environment, QS-NanoAlum underwent degradation and subsequently released QS-21, leading to LMP effect and the cytosolic leakage of hydrolytic enzymes. The released hydrolases and QS-21 would further inflict collateral damage to cellular structures and organelles, including the plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, which ultimately culminated in ICD. Notably, excess QS-NanoAlum could efficiently adsorb the released tumor-associated protein antigens (TAAs) during ICD, forming an antigen depot at the injection site that sustained long-term immune stimulation. Our in vivo studies also demonstrated that QS-NanoAlum significantly suppressed tumor growth and enhanced immune cell infiltration into tumor tissues. Finally, this strategy that physically disrupting the cellular \"recycling center\" to provoke cell disintegration and elicit robust ICD, offering a promising paradigm for cancer immunotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Conventional cancer therapies target specific mutations but are limited by tumor heterogeneity and resistance. We introduce a new paradigm that physically disrupts tumor cells via lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), bypassing molecular targets. Our system, QS-NanoAlum (QS-21 loaded to an aluminum adjuvant), triggers immunogenic cell death through a \"self-lysis\" mechanism. Positively charged QS-NanoAlum is internalized and degrades in acidic lysosomes, releasing QS-21 to induce LMP. Released hydrolases cause widespread organelle damage, leading to robust immunogenic cell death. Excess QS-NanoAlum adsorbs tumor-associated antigens, forming a sustained immune depot. In vivo, QS-NanoAlum suppresses tumor growth and enhances immune infiltration, validating its potential for cancer immunotherapy.",

In the present study, using human neuroblastoma H4 cells exposed to cobalt chloride (CoCl\u2082) as an in vitro model, we demonstrate for the first time that CoCl\u2082 induces widespread alterations in m7G modification in genes associated with neurodegenerative disease. MeRIP-sequencing (MeRIP-seq) analysis revealed significant remodeling of m7G modification features, including sequence motifs, genomic distribution, and peak densities following CoCl\u2082 exposure. Differentially methylated genes were enriched in pathways governing nervous system function, neurotransmitter transport, neuronal projection guidance, axonogenesis, and axonal guidance. Integration of MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq data further demonstrated that CoCl\u2082 concurrently induced differential m7G methylation and expression of genes implicated in central nervous system function and neurodegenerative disease pathways. Mechanistically, CoCl\u2082 suppressed m7G modification levels by downregulating the methyltransferase complex components methyltransferase-like 1 (METTL1) and WD repeat domain 4 (WDR4). More importantly, METTL1 overexpression attenuated CoCl\u2082-induced downregulation of neurodegenerative disease-associated genes runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMA), and unc-5 netrin receptor C (UNC5C) by modulating mRNA decay. Moreover, MeRIP-qPCR further confirmed that cobalt exposure significantly reduced m7G modification on these transcripts, and this reduction was restored by METTL1 overexpression, thereby supporting a regulatory role of m7G modification in target mRNA expression. These findings establish a pivotal role for m7G modification in environmental neurotoxicant-induced neurodegeneration and reveal cobalt-related RNA regulatory paradigm that expands our understanding of heavy metal-driven epitranscriptomic dysregulation, and hence offering novel therapeutic targets.",

This so-called 'vaccine gap' disproportionately burdens low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), exacerbating health inequities and threatening global pandemic preparedness. This review comprehensively examines scientific and technological advances that are actively bridging the vaccine gap, with emphasis on novel platform technologies, immunological innovations, and translational strategies. We conducted a systematic narrative review of literature published between 2015 and 2024, encompassing peer-reviewed articles, WHO reports, clinical trial registries, and regulatory agency databases. Six transformative technology clusters were identified: (1) mRNA and self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) platforms enabling rapid antigen production; (2) viral-vectored vaccines with improved immune breadth; (3) structure-guided antigen design using cryo-electron microscopy and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven protein engineering; (4) broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies as surrogate vaccine benchmarks; (5) mucosal and inhalable delivery systems targeting tissue-resident immunity; and (6) combination adjuvant systems amplifying magnitude and durability of protective responses. Clinical translation is exemplified by candidates against HIV-1, tuberculosis (TB), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants, and Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Convergence of AI-assisted rational antigen design, next-generation mRNA platforms, and innovative adjuvant-delivery pairings represents a paradigm shift toward vaccinatable diseases previously considered intractable.

Influenza activity was analyzed using patient- and pathogen-based surveillance data, medical costs data, vaccination coverage, and vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates. Data were obtained from the KDCA sentinel surveillance system, the National Immunization Program, and the NHIS national health information databases. VE was estimated using both a target trial emulation (TTE)-based retrospective cohort design to assess age-specific outcomes and an interrupted time series (ITS) method with dynamic cohort to evaluate time-varying protection. During the 2024-2025 season, influenza-like illness peaked at 99.8 cases per 1,000 outpatients in the first week of 2025, the highest level recorded since 2016. The overall influenza virus detection rate was 15.2%, with a winter wave dominated by influenza A and a spring wave of influenza B. NHIS claims identified approximately 3.86 million influenza cases, indicating a decline from the previous season. Despite this decrease in case numbers, total medical costs continued to increase in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 period, reaching 629.5 billion KRW, with hospitalization accounting for 77.3% of the total costs. Vaccination coverage was 70.0% among children aged 6 months to 13 years and 81.6% among adults aged 65 years and older. The TTE analysis showed that VE against severe outcomes ranged from 63.7% to 74.6%, whereas VE against mortality ranged from 52.2% to 81.1%, depending on the age group. The ITS method demonstrated that protection against hospitalization (VE 41.8%) persisted for up to 2 months after vaccination, whereas protection against mortality (VE 38.1%) persisted for up to 6 months. Overall, influenza vaccination was estimated to have prevented 143,868 influenza cases, including outpatient and inpatient cases, as well as 3,506 deaths. The findings presented in this annual report provide scientific evidence for optimizing national influenza prevention and response strategies and advancing immunization policy.",

A better understanding of LNP composition-immunogenicity relationships is therefore critical for rational vaccine design. Here, we profiled a panel of clinically relevant LNP formulations across complementary in vitro and in vivo models to define mechanisms underlying innate immune activation and adaptive responses. We identified three distinct cytokine programs: (i) a monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-dominated inflammatory response associated with cytotoxic stress; (ii) inflammasome-dependent interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2) secretion requiring pro-inflammatory priming; and (iii) type I and II interferon-dependent responses in which LNPs synergize with interferon gamma (IFN\u03b3) to amplify interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) production. Using a design of experiments (DoE) framework\u00a0with formulation feature analysis, we found that polyethylene glycol-conjugated (PEGylated) lipid content and ionizable lipid identity are key modulators of the IFN\u03b3/IP-10 axis, previously implicated in vaccine-associated myocarditis. In vivo validation showed that innate cytokine responses are strongly influenced by lipid composition, whereas adaptive humoral and cellular responses correlate with transgene expression rather than cytokine magnitude. Collectively, these findings define relationships among LNP composition, cytokine induction, and vaccine efficacy, and provide a framework for rational design and screening of LNP-based vaccines that maximize immunogenicity while minimizing reactogenicity.",
"42475333": "ID: 42475333\nTitle: Adjuvants MPLA and SMNP induce antiviral immunity and indirectly revert HIV-1 latency.\nAbstract: Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and the saponin-MPLA nanoparticle adjuvant (SMNP) are known immunostimulants used as adjuvants in vaccines to boost immunity. These adjuvants are under investigation for use in prophylactic and therapeutic HIV-1 vaccines. However, their effects in ART-treated people with HIV-1 (PWH) remain unclear, as chronic immune activation may reduce responses and potentially reactivate latent virus reservoirs. Here we observed that both adjuvants, MPLA and SMNP, triggered TLR4\u2011dependent cytokine production in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs), but SMNP elicited a stronger response than MPLA based on costimulatory receptor expression and cytokine production. Cytokines produced by adjuvant stimulated dendritic cells were able to induce HIV-1 transcription in a J-Lat cell model. Notably, SMNP, but not MPLA, also induced a cytokine response in PBMC from PWH, albeit lower as compared to in healthy donor PBMC. Importantly, SMNP substantially reduced the size of the inducible HIV\u20111 reservoir in PWH ex vivo. The effect on the viral reservoir was likely caused by the cytokine production induced by SMNP, as supernatants from SMNP stimulated DCs showed a similar viral reservoir reduction. Our findings demonstrate that TLR4-targeted adjuvants, especially SMNP, can effectively induce immune activation, supporting their potential use in therapeutic vaccination.",

We conducted a longitudinal analysis of SARS-CoV-2 immunity at 1, 6 and 12 months after a primary Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine series in 27 children aged 5-11 years with primary or secondary antibody deficiencies and 48 matched healthy controls. Functional T-cell responses were quantified by IFN-\u03b3 and IL-2 ELISpot, and SARS-CoV-2-specific B-cells and T-cells were assessed by spectral cytometry. Systemic and mucosal antibody responses were measured in serum and saliva, and neutralizing activity against ancestral and Omicron BA.5 strains was evaluated through microneutralization. Children with humoral immunodeficiency exhibited impaired systemic antibody responses after two mRNA doses, even after SARS-CoV-2 infection. A third dose improved humoral immunity in children with preserved B-cell compartments but did not rescue neutralizing antibody responses in those with severe B-cell lymphopenia. In contrast, preserved, polyfunctional SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses were observed in children with humoral immunodeficiency, including those with severe B-cell lymphopenia, and were higher in asymptomatic immunocompromised children. These findings reveal a dissociation between humoral failure and preserved cellular immunity in B-cell-deficient children, supporting timely vaccination and integration of T-cell responses into vaccine-response assessment when neutralizing antibodies are absent.",

This study assesses the presence of anti-PEG antibodies in human serum following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and if these antibodies could interfere with drug level assessment of PEG containing drugs. Elevated anti-PEG antibody titers with prolonged prevalence were detected in individuals who received the mRNA-1273 vaccine as compared to control samples. Anti-PEG antibody levels were approximately 10-fold higher post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination in approximately 33% of assessed mRNA-1273 vaccine recipients. Elevated anti-PEG antibody levels persisted for over 6\u2009months. Serum from those who received the BNT162b2 or Ad26.COV2.S vaccines had anti-PEG antibody levels similar to control samples. Serum from individuals with elevated anti-PEG antibodies, regardless of study group, typically showed decreased detection of the pegylated drug, pegfilgrastim. This study demonstrates that anti-PEG antibodies have the potential to interfere with bioanalytical assays used for pharmacokinetic drug measurement during the development of pegylated pharmaceutical products, as well as during the establishment of comparability to pegylated reference products during development of biosimilar drug products.",
"42478210": "ID: 42478210\nTitle: Toll-like receptor responses are shaped by distinct MAPK activation profiles.\nAbstract: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key sensors of infection and injury, and are critical inducers of inflammation. TLR-induced activation of the NF-\u03baB and MAPK pathways promotes the secretion of mediators of inflammation such as cytokines and chemokines. Control of cytokine production is critically important, as unnecessary inflammatory responses can lead to tissue damage, while insufficient inflammatory responses can lead to susceptibility to infection. Previous studies showed that TLR4 uses distinct NF-\u03baB and MAPK activation properties to discriminate between low and high concentrations of ligand, triggering cytokine production only at ligand concentrations that activate both pathways. The switch-like activation of MAPKs by TLR4 establishes an inflammatory threshold for ligand concentrations that facilitates threat discrimination. Using murine macrophages, we reveal that MAPK activation properties are TLR-specific, and that switch-like MAPK activation is not a general feature of all TLRs. Consequently, certain TLRs do not have an inflammatory threshold of ligand concentration and may not effectively filter signal from noise. The activation properties of the ERK pathway, rather than messenger RNA levels, dictate the patterns of TNF\u03b1 cytokine secretion for all TLRs examined. We demonstrate that the TLR4 inflammatory threshold can be modulated by costimulation with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in an ERK-dependent manner. We show that deletion of BCL-3 changes the TLR4-induced ERK pathway activation properties from switch-like to gradual and lowers the activation threshold. We reveal that different TLRs have different capacities to discriminate threats based on ligand concentration, and that ERK pathway activation properties can be altered to change the cellular decision to initiate inflammation.",

However, compared to ionizable lipids, sterols remain a relatively underexplored design axis. This study discusses the engineering of a library of nine bile acid-derived sterols with different hydroxylation patterns and alkyl tail lengths, and systematically maps how sterol structure governs formulation-level properties and organ-level expression profiles. After integrating physicochemical characterization with all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the experimentally observed formulation behaviors correlate with MD-derived membrane structural descriptors. These descriptors provide a quantitative evaluation framework for prioritizing sterol chemotypes based on their predicted encapsulation performance and membrane organization, supporting the notion that sterol-dependent membrane organization provides a structural basis for formulation properties, including mRNA encapsulation. Moreover, substituting cholesterol with bile acid-derived sterols consistently attenuated hepatic expression and shifted organ-level expression toward spleen-dominant profiles, which is central to immune priming and adaptive immune activation. Among bile acid-derived sterols, CA-20 LNPs functionally enhance antigen-specific humoral immunity and elicit antigen-specific cellular immune responses, including improved memory-associated immune features, while maintaining an acute safety profile. Collectively, these results establish sterol engineering as a powerful design strategy for modulating LNP formulation properties, in vivo fate, and immunological function.",

To date, no licensed vaccine exists for the prevention of invasive S. aureus infections in humans. In the present study, a comprehensive multi-method pipeline was employed to design a bivalent self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) vaccine cocktail targeting the ClfA, Hly, and SraP virulence antigens of S. aureus. An integrated framework combining immunoinformatics, structural bioinformatics, molecular simulations, and repository-curated experimental benchmark data was applied to delineate the immunodominant epitopic regions of each antigen, culminating in the rational design of two saRNA candidate vaccines, SaBVax807 and SaTVax876. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were subsequently performed to characterize and validate the binding interactions of both constructs with anti-S. aureus Fab fragment antibodies and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. Population coverage analysis for SaTVax876 was conducted across sixteen geographically diverse regions to evaluate global applicability. Each candidate vaccine was subjected to codon optimization to maximize translational efficiency in human host cells and rigorously evaluated for safety, stability, and immunogenic potential through a comprehensive assessment of allergenicity, antigenicity, autoimmune risk, physicochemical properties, toxicity profiles, and molecular interaction dynamics. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that the saRNA vaccine cocktail exhibits favorable safety, structural stability, and computationally predicted immunogenic profiles against S. aureus. This study establishes a comprehensive computational and in silico foundation supporting the capacity of these candidate vaccines to elicit broad anti-S. aureus immune responses, and provides a validated evidence base to guide subsequent preclinical and clinical investigations.",

This non-canonically phosphorylated form of EphA2 has been observed in mesenchymal cells and reported to maintain the functional properties of mesenchymal cells; however, the mechanism of this phosphorylation during EMT remains unclear. We herein demonstrated that level of Ser-897-phosphorylated EphA2 was increased during EMT through the FGFR1-ERK-RSK pathway. EphA2 mRNA expression was also induced, suggesting its modulation by Snail, Slug, and ZEB1. Furthermore, the FGFR1-EphA2 axis promoted cell motility and contributed to poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma. Collectively, these results suggest the importance of FGFR1 as a regulator of non-canonical EphA2 activation during EMT.",

However, recent advances in personalized mRNA vaccines, such as Moderna's mRNA-4157 and BioNTech's autogene cevumeran, have demonstrated significant reductions in recurrence risk and improved survival across several cancer types, renewing optimism in the field. Personalized cancer vaccines leverage patient-specific tumor antigens to initiate potent and targeted immune responses. This review outlines various classes of personalized vaccines, including DNA-, mRNA-, peptide-, dendritic cell-, and whole-cell-based platforms, and examines the immunological challenges they face, such as tumor heterogeneity, immunosuppressive microenvironments, and inadequate immune memory. To address these limitations, both conventional and nanotechnology-enhanced delivery systems have been developed. Notably, nanovaccines constructed from lipid-polymer hybrids, biomimetic membranes, and stimulus-responsive materials enable codelivery of neoantigens and immunostimulatory agonists, promoting enhanced lymph node targeting, dendritic cell activation, and antigen cross-presentation. Furthermore, biomimetic formulations incorporating autologous tumor membranes preserve native antigenic diversity and allow dynamic adaptation to evolving tumors. When integrated with artificial intelligence for antigen selection and multiomics for patient stratification, these platforms accelerate vaccine design and improve precision. Combination regimens with immune checkpoint inhibitors or other agents further potentiate efficacy and promote durable antitumor immunity. Increasing clinical evidence, especially in melanoma and pancreatic cancer, underscores the potential of these strategies to induce long-term protection and reduce recurrence. Overall, next-generation personalized cancer vaccines are advancing the transition from reactive treatment to proactive, precision-controlled cancer immunotherapy.",

Among dsRNA analogues, polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] and polyadenylic:polyuridylic acid [poly(A:U)] have been extensively studied for their immunostimulatory properties and potential as vaccine adjuvants. This review examines how host pattern-recognition receptors sense synthetic dsRNA and explains the rationale for using poly(I:C) and poly(A:U) as representative dsRNA analogues with distinct structural and signaling properties. We compare their antiviral and adjuvant activities, emphasizing differences and commonalities in receptor engagement, downstream signaling, immunogenicity, and safety. Finally, we address emerging applications, translational challenges, and future directions for the rational design and clinical development of dsRNA-based immunomodulators in antiviral immunity and vaccine strategies.",
"42485602": "ID: 42485602\nTitle: An Orthogonal Nanoadjuvant-Based RSV Subunit Vaccine Unlocks Potent Immunity through a High-Entropy-like Immunostimulatory Effect.\nAbstract: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the primary contributors to lower respiratory tract infections, especially in infants, children, and the elderly. The quest for a clinically acceptable and potent RSV vaccine constitutes a long-standing hurdle in clinical practice. Herein, we propose an orthogonal nanoadjuvant-based nanovaccine platform that addresses the long-standing challenge of insufficient cellular immunity in RSV F subunit vaccination. The vaccine is constructed based on Mn/Al-layered double hydroxide (Mn/Al-LDH) nanosheet functionalized with RSV F antigen and poly-CpG motifs. In this system, Al acts as a humoral immunity adjuvant promoting potent antibody responses, while Mn and CpG can enhance cellular immunity through activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and Toll-like receptor (TLR), respectively. The orchestrated activation of multiple immune pathways synergistically produces a \"high-entropy\" immunostimulatory effect, which facilitates the recruitment and subsequent activation of potent CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, thus leading to more rapid antigen-specific immune activation and fostering the establishment of robust long-term T cell memory. Furthermore, an expanded CD134-positive subset within central memory T cells (TCM) is observed, demonstrating that the immune system is primed for robust clonal proliferation and differentiation into effector and memory cell lineages. This immunological setup ensures that any subsequent encounter with the specific antigen will trigger an immediate and vigorous secondary response. In murine challenge models, the nanovaccine outperforms traditional aluminum (Al)-based vaccines by significantly reducing viral load and mitigating lung pathology. This study establishes a new paradigm for developing efficacious RSV vaccines, and the underlying strategy is broadly applicable to vaccine development against other intractable pathogens.",

The viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is essential for viral replication and represents a promising target for new therapeutics. We screened our in-house chemical library of 103 compounds against two domains of the IAV RdRp complex using molecular docking. Based on computational findings, we selected eleven coumarin-phenolic acid hybrids and one thiazolidinone compounds for in vitro evaluation against H1N1 and H5N1. LMed 93 and LMed 99 exhibited potent antiviral activity, with EC50 values of 5.66 and 1.21\u202f\u03bcM against H1N1 respectively, and high selectivity indices. Mechanistic studies showed that LMed 99 acts throughout early to late stages of infection, while LMed 93 impacts early and intermediate stages. Both compounds significantly inhibited viral RNA synthesis, with LMed 99 achieving 82% inhibition at 1- and 3-h post-infection (hpi) and 80% at 6 hpi, and LMed 93 achieving 82% (1 hpi), 78% (3 hpi), and 60% (6 hpi). LMed 99 reduced viral proteins and mRNA in a time-dependent manner, indicating interference with viral transcription. A mini-replicon assay showed that LMed 93, at 70 and 35\u202f\u03bcM, reduces polymerase activity by 53.7% and 38.7%, while LMed 99\u202fat 9 and 4.5\u202f\u03bcM increased expression by 108.97% and 61.37%, respectively. Structure-activity relationship analysis highlighted that catechol groups and halogenation enhance antiviral potency. These findings suggest that LMed 93 and LMed 99 are promising coumarin-based scaffolds for developing new anti-Influenza A agents, also offering potential strategies for combating other RNA viruses.",
"42486020": "ID: 42486020\nTitle: Salmonella vaccines in poultry: An update on the current status.\nAbstract: Salmonella can cause significant infections in poultry, including fowl typhoid and pullorum disease, while Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) causes mild to severe diarrheal diseases and is potentially zoonotic. NTS, a significant cause of gastroenteritis in humans, is often underestimated in developing countries, where contaminated chicken or poultry products are the main drivers of its spread. Various whole-cell killed, live-attenuated, or subunit vaccines are available for poultry salmonellosis. Poultry producers prefer killed vaccines owing to their safety and minimal public health risks. However, killed vaccines do not eliminate the carrier status and require parenteral administration. Live-attenuated vaccines are supposed to elicit strong mucosal and cell-mediated immune responses, which may enhance protection; however, their use requires additional biosafety considerations. In addition, certain subunit vaccines, including OMV-based vaccines and nanoparticle vaccines, can also elicit strong mucosal, humoral, and cell-mediated immune responses. Vaccine platforms, including mRNA vaccines and multi-epitope-based vaccines, have not been extensively studied against poultry salmonellosis, though they can be evaluated to develop effective vaccine formulations. Challenges, including spatiotemporal variation in serovar distribution, operational difficulties in implementing vaccination programs, and limited awareness among poultry producers and the public, need to be addressed alongside considerations of vaccine efficacy and longevity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the available Salmonella vaccines for poultry, including their merits and demerits, recent advancements in vaccine development, and the challenges associated with implementing immunization programs, particularly in developing countries.",
"42486049": "ID: 42486049\nTitle: Dengue vaccines: The role of a correlate of protection in evaluating vaccine safety and risk.\nAbstract: Dengue remains a significant global health challenge, with incidence rising and over half the world's population at risk. Vaccines could play an important role in controlling dengue, but without a validated correlate of protection (CoP), vaccine development relies on large, costly, and complex phase 3 field efficacy trials that are often underpowered for evaluating efficacy and safety by individual DENV serotypes in individuals who have never been infected with a dengue virus (i.e., DENV-na\u00efve individuals). A validated CoP would help developers make informed decisions about the best vaccine candidates for testing in costly phase 3 field trials. A CoP might enable licensure of dengue vaccines based on efficacy endpoint trials of shorter duration and use of immunogenicity data to bridge efficacy data to other populations, which could accelerate the pathway from vaccine trials to operational dengue vaccination programs. Recognizing the urgent need for vaccine development and licensure, a group of experts in dengue vaccinology convened in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from March 14-15, 2024, to define a research agenda for establishing a CoP. The meeting brought together experts from academia, government, U.S. regulatory agencies, and public health organizations who identified key barriers to CoP validation, discussed lack of assay standardization and limited regulatory consensus, and identified the most promising CoP candidates. Experts agreed that neutralizing antibodies to unique epitopes on each serotype (i.e., type-specific antibodies) are the most promising biomarker for DENV-na\u00efve individuals (the most challenging subgroup for establishing safety and efficacy) and emphasized the need for harmonized assays and validation studies using clinical trial samples. The group also discussed the role of alternative trial modalities, such as human challenge studies and nonhuman primate models, in supplementing regulatory submissions where phase 3 efficacy data may be incomplete. This article outlines the key research priorities identified at the meeting and provides a framework for advancing CoP validation to accelerate dengue vaccine development, licensure, and implementation. By aligning scientific, regulatory, and industry efforts around these priorities, the field can move more quickly toward broad access to safe and effective dengue vaccines.",
"42486052": "ID: 42486052\nTitle: Real-world effectiveness and safety of protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (BEEHIVE trial).\nAbstract: Real-world vaccine effectiveness (VE) and relative VE (rVE) data of protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections inform policy recommendations and reinforce public confidence. The study aim was to assess the safety and VE of the 2023-2024 protein-based and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5) in a real-world setting. The single-site, pragmatic BEEHIVE clinical trial was conducted among participants aged \u226518\u00a0years from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area, who had previously received \u22652 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, from November 17, 2023, through September 9, 2024. Randomized participants received a protein-based or mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a double-blind manner. An unblinded, nonrandomized comparator control group that did not receive a study vaccine was also enrolled. The primary aim measured VE between the randomized and comparator groups. The secondary aim was to measure rVE between the 2 vaccine platforms. In the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, VE and rVE were estimated using a proportional-hazards model for symptomatic infections confirmed by weekly self-administered rapid antigen tests (RATs) over 24\u00a0weeks, adjusted for covariates. Reactogenicity and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded. Randomized cohorts (N\u00a0=\u00a0909; protein-based, n\u00a0=\u00a0452; mRNA, n\u00a0=\u00a0457) were largely well-balanced with some differences in baseline covariates versus the comparator group (n\u00a0=\u00a0279), mostly age-related. The mITT population had 142 RAT-confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases with an adjusted VE of 43.6% (95% CI, 18.3-61.0); rVE (protein-based vs mRNA) was -26.7% (90% CI, -78.6% to 10.1%) and did not reach statistical significance. Safety and reactogenicity were comparable to previously reported findings, with no serious study vaccine-related TEAEs, myocarditis/pericarditis, hospitalization, or death. This is one of the earliest real-world trials evaluating the VE of the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines (XBB.1.5). These results suggest that both protein-based and mRNA vaccines are well-tolerated and significantly reduce the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.",
"42486137": "ID: 42486137\nTitle: mRNA vaccines for multidrug-resistant bacteria: promise, challenges, and microbiome-informed strategies.\nAbstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has made multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), particularly ESKAPE-E pathogens (including Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp, and Escherichia coli), a major threat to modern medicine. Although novel antibiotics, antimicrobial stewardship, and infection prevention remain essential, such interventions are unlikely to offset projected AMR trends on their own. Vaccines can help to mitigate AMR by preventing infections and reducing antibiotic exposure. WHO estimates that vaccines targeting 23 pathogens (excluding Neisseria gonorrhoea) could reduce global antibiotic need by 22%, equivalent to 2\u00b75 billion defined daily doses annually. In the mRNA era, modular vaccine platforms enable rapid design of protein antigens and multivalent constructs, with emerging preclinical proof of concept against selected bacterial pathogens. In this Personal View, we argue that mRNA vaccines should be considered enabling platforms for selected protein-based MDRO targets rather than universal solutions for antibacterial vaccine development. We propose a microbiome-informed framework that distinguishes systemic protection from mucosal decolonisation and aligns antigen selection, delivery route, and trial endpoints with colonisation dynamics, microbiome resilience, and AMR reduction goals.",

Among 6606 pregnant individuals who received an mRNA COVID-19 primary series, 4302 provided pregnancy status in follow-up surveys. Within seven months of vaccination, live birth was the most reported outcome, followed by ongoing pregnancy. Our descriptive analysis indicated pregnancy loss among those vaccinated in first trimester (8.9%) appears to be lower than expected and lower than the rates observed before the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings support the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, including early gestation, and current public health recommendations.",

In Mongolia, LSD outbreaks were first reported in 2021, with a few additional cases later that year. The situation has since alleviated due to effective control measures, including the use of live-attenuated vaccines. However, unlike the inactivated vaccine, live-attenuated vaccines carry risks, including genetic recombination and vaccine-associated clinical symptoms and outbreaks. Our research group previously isolated a field strain of LSDV, designated DO-21, from the first outbreak in Mongolia in 2021. Using this laboratory-adapted strain, we developed an inactivated vaccine by treating it with binary ethylenimine and formulating it with Montanide ISA 206, a water-in-oil-water adjuvant. Safety was confirmed in mice and cattle using administrations of 3- and 7-fold higher doses of the inactivated vaccine, respectively. In the challenge experiments, all rabbits and cattle were fully protected by day 14 post-booster vaccination following a severe homologous challenge with same field strain (DO-21) without any clinical signs. On the same day, all five vaccinated rabbits showed seroconversion, while all five immunised calves exhibited seroconversion and neutralising antibodies, with interferon-gamma release detected in their blood samples following viral exposure. In addition, seroconversion persisted in all three vaccinated rabbits for at least 120 days post-prime vaccination, while both seroconversion and neutralising antibodies were maintained in approximately 90% cattle for 120 days post-prime vaccination. In conclusion, inactivated vaccines are alternatives to live-attenuated vaccines, particularly in countries with sporadic cases of LSD or in non-endemic countries bordering endemic regions.",
"42491063": "ID: 42491063\nTitle: Dendritic cells in cancer immunotherapy: functional barriers, reprogramming strategies and translational challenges.\nAbstract: Cancer immunotherapy depends on effective antigen presentation and T cell activation. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs), especially dendritic cells (DCs), play a central role in this process by capturing tumor antigens, processing them, and presenting antigenic peptides to T cells through major histocompatibility complex molecules. However, APC function is often impaired within the tumor microenvironment. Reduced antigen presentation, weak co-stimulatory signaling, suppressive cytokines, metabolic stress, and inhibition by myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells all limit effective antitumor immunity. These defects contribute to immune escape and reduce the efficacy of current immunotherapies. In this mini review, we summarize the key roles of APCs in antitumor immune responses and discuss major APC-based therapeutic strategies, including dendritic cell vaccines, nanoparticle-based antigen delivery, mRNA vaccine platforms, DC-targeted delivery systems, and oncolytic virus-based combinations. We also highlight functional reprogramming approaches that aim to restore APC activity through innate immune activation, blockade of immunosuppressive cytokines, and metabolic regulation. Although these strategies have shown strong potential, their clinical translation remains limited by tumor antigen heterogeneity, complex manufacturing, poor immune infiltration, and persistent immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Future APC-based immunotherapy should move beyond single antigen presentation enhancement and focus on integrated immune remodeling. Rational combinations with immune checkpoint blockade, innate immune agonists, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biomarker-guided patient selection may help generate stronger and more durable antitumor responses.",

However, their functional roles and regulatory mechanisms during influenza A virus (IAV) infection remain incompletely defined. circZFYVE1 expression was profiled in A549 cells infected with the WSN strain of IAV using RT qPCR under time course and dose response conditions. The mechanistic function of circZFYVE1 was investigated through miRNA target prediction, luciferase reporter assays, and functional assays assessing its role as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and its impact on innate antiviral signaling. circZFYVE1 expression was induced in a time and dose dependent manner following WSN infection. Mechanistically, circZFYVE1 acts as a ceRNA by sponging hsa miR 4435, thereby relieving miRNA mediated suppression of the processing body associated protein LSM14A and enhancing innate antiviral signaling during infection. These findings define a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory axis that links IAV infection to innate antiviral responses, providing new insights into circRNA mediated host defenses.

"42500712": "ID: 42500712\nTitle: Endocytosis-independent cytosolic entry of messenger RNA via fluorous bilayer zippering attenuating Toll-like receptor signaling and enables ischemic tissue salvage.\nAbstract: A fundamental constraint of conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery systems is their obligatory trafficking through endosomal-lysosomal compartments, wherein cargo degradation and activation of endosomal Toll-like receptors precipitate substantial translational attrition and deleterious inflammatory cascades. We herein report a chemically engineered platform that circumvents these limitations ab initio. Through strategic perfluoro-acylation of branched polyethyleneimine (PEI, 25\u00a0kDa) with pentafluoropropionic anhydride, we install approximately 26 fluoro-amide \"zipper\" moieties per polymer chain that orchestrate direct, energy-independent trans-bilayer translocation without recruitment of clathrin, caveolae, or lipid raft microdomains-thereby precluding lysosomal entrapment and catabolism. Bio-orthogonal copper-free click chemistry between azide- and dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)-terminated PEI-F derivatives, coupled with redox-labile disulfide crosslinkers, engenders polyplexes of exceptional extracellular stability that undergo quantitative glutathione-triggered disassembly within the cytosolic milieu. This endosome-evasive entry mechanism effectively sequesters single-stranded mRNA from Toll-like receptor 3, TLR7, and TLR8 surveillance, establishing a \"TLR-attenuated\" delivery paradigm characterized by undetectable interferon-\u03b1, interferon-\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6 induction. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, GFP-mRNA transfection exceeds 90% fluorescent positivity with 4.8-fold superior luciferase expression relative to Lipofectamine\u2122 3000, whilst maintaining >95% viability. Therapeutic translatability is demonstrated in a murine hindlimb ischemia model, wherein a single 10\u00a0\u03bcg intramuscular dose of mVEGF-A polyplexes restores blood perfusion to 118% of baseline within 28 days-representing marked superiority over the commercial gold standard and effectuating complete tissue salvage without necrosis. Comprehensive hematological and immunological profiling corroborates the absence of hematotoxicity, systemic inflammation, or innate immune activation. This modular, purely synthetic platform resolves the classical stability-availability paradox whilst eliminating the immunogenic liabilities inherent to endocytic delivery, furnishing a readily translatable scaffold for precision regenerative medicine.",
"42500975": "ID: 42500975\nTitle: Innate immune responses underlying local and systemic adverse reactions to mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccines.\nAbstract: Vaccine reactogenicity refers to the capacity of a vaccine to induce transient local and systemic adverse reactions (ARs). Although these ARs are often attributed to vaccine-induced innate inflammation, accumulating evidence indicates that the inflammatory pathways causing symptoms are not necessarily identical to those required for protective immunity. mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines provide a valuable framework for examining this relationship, because both the mRNA cargo and the LNP delivery system can contribute to innate immune activation. Early inflammatory responses following mRNA-LNP vaccination appear to reflect the interplay of multiple signals, including ionizable lipid-driven signaling, mRNA-associated interferon (IFN) responses, endosomal membrane perturbation, and tissue-derived danger signals. These upstream events can be amplified through cytokine networks that promote systemic symptoms. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has emerged as a major contributor to this process, although IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1), type I IFN, and prostaglandin-related pathways also contribute, depending on the experimental model and context. In this review, we summarize recent evidence linking upstream sensing pathways to local and systemic ARs, and discuss how these pathways intersect with vaccine-induced adaptive immunity. We also consider booster-associated amplification of ARs as an example in which immune memory may reshape innate cytokine responses after repeated vaccination. Understanding these relationships will help delineate the shared and distinct inflammatory circuits underlying ARs and protective immunity. These mechanistic insights may also inform the rational design of low-reactogenic mRNA-LNP formulations that retain sufficient immunogenicity.",

This study aimed to investigate its therapeutic potential for atopic dermatitis (AD) and to identify its key target genes and active components. We performed mRNA transcriptome sequencing on blood samples collected from 15 adult patients with AD and 15 adult healthy controls. Potential targets were identified by intersecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with known YQP target genes. Key genes were pinpointed using protein-protein interaction networks and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. We estimated immune cell proportions, constructed regulatory networks, and used molecular docking to predict active ingredients. Single-cell RNA sequencing data (GSE180885) was also analyzed to identify key cell types and track gene expression. Fifty-two potential target genes were identified. From these, four key genes-CTNNB1, ERBB2, TP53, and HIF1A-were highlighted, potentially involved in carbon metabolism and organelle biosynthesis. A nomogram model based on these genes showed strong predictive power for AD. Immune analysis linked resting CD4+ memory T cells with TP53 and HIF1A. Molecular docking suggested beta-carotene, aloe-emodin, and quercetin as potential active ingredients binding to these key targets. Single-cell analysis identified keratinocytes as a key population, with key gene expression varying during their differentiation. This study indicates that CTNNB1, ERBB2, TP53, and HIF1A are key targets of YQP in AD treatment, with beta-carotene, aloe-emodin, and quercetin as likely active components. These findings provide a theoretical basis for using YQP in AD therapy.",

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) may provide new options for modulating the immune response to allografts. This study aimed to determine whether miR-146a-enriched EVs could prolong corneal allograft survival by modulating local and systemic immune responses. After corneal allografting from C57BL/6 to BALB/c mice, recipients received subconjunctival injections of PBS, miR-NC-EVs, or miR-146a-EVs isolated from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCSCs). Local inflammatory and regulatory factors in ocular tissues were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to quantify the expression of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-\u03b1, and forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3). Systemic cytokine profiles were assessed in recipient sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure interferon (IFN)-\u03b3, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-10, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-\u03b2. Clinical rejection scores were markedly reduced, with significant improvements in opacity, edema, and neovascularization. RT-PCR analysis of corneal tissue showed miR-146a overexpression, downregulation of IRAK1 and TRAF6, a significant reduction in TNF-\u03b1 mRNA, and increased Foxp3 expression. ELISA analysis of systemic IFN-\u03b3 and IL-17 showed that treatment with miR-146a-EVs resulted in lower systemic IFN-\u03b3 and IL-17 levels and significantly higher levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-10 and TGF-\u03b2. This study identifies miR-146a-EVs as a novel cell-free therapy that effectively prolongs corneal transplant survival. The treatment exerts dual immunomodulatory effects by regulating local inflammatory pathways and shifting systemic cytokine profiles toward an anti-inflammatory state, thereby offering a targeted strategy to prevent transplant rejection.",

In total, 75 PLWH and 28 healthy donors were followed at baseline (T0), at the second dose (T1), after the second dose (T2), and more than 1 year later (T3). Anti-S Abs were assessed by chemiluminescence and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-based pseudo virus-neutralization assay, while IFN-\u03b12, IFN-\u03b2, and IFN-\u03c9 mRNA levels were measured by RT-Real Time PCR. PLWH showed an increase in anti-S Immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels comparable to healthy donors (p\u2009<\u20090.001) and an induction of anti-S neutralizing Abs (p\u2009<\u20090.014 for T2 vs. T3). Age, gender, CD4+ T cell count, exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) and IFN-I levels at T0 did not affect the anti-S IgG production. IFN-I gene expression showed temporal changes, with a decrease at T2 (p\u2009<\u20090.01) and a subsequent increase at T3 (p\u2009<\u20090.001, for IFN-\u03b12 and IFN-\u03c9). A multivariable model revealed no overall change in the IFN-I response over time, except for IFN-\u03b2, which was lower at T3 than at T1 (p\u2009=\u20090.032). CD4+ T cell count was positively correlated with the IFN-I response (p\u2009<\u20090.05). These results suggest that mRNA vaccination can elicit an effective anti-S response and modulate the IFN-\u03b2 gene expression in PLWH, with CD4+ T cell count being a key determinant of vaccine-induced changes in IFN.",

The copolymer consists of a stealth PEG block and a cationic binding block, with precisely engineered 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide (DMAPMA) units. Following optimization of the PEG chain length, the structure PEG45-b-P(AAPBA21-co-DMAPMA18) achieved a critical balance of delivery properties, leading to enhanced cellular uptake, facilitated endosomal escape, and enabled mRNA release for protein translation. When further functionalized with folic acid (FA), the copolymer successfully restored PTEN expression and inhibited tumor growth (81.0% relative to the PBS control group) in vivo, with no significant toxicity observed under the tested conditions. We anticipate that this block copolymer-based PTEN mRNA delivery platform could provide a promising new approach for the treatment of NSCLC.",

While METTL14 is crucial in innate immunity, its specific role in HBV-related liver disease progression is unclear. We analyzed METTL14 expression in patient tissues and bioinformatics datasets. Mouse models of HBV-related cirrhosis and HCC were established to evaluate liver injury, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis. Mechanistic studies utilized MeRIPqPCR, RIP, and Actinomycin D assays, and hepatocyte-stellate cell co-cultures to investigate METTL14's impact on cGAS mRNA stability, the cGAS-STING pathway, and IFNB1 secretion. METTL14 was downregulated in HBV infection, cirrhosis, and HCC. METTL14 knockdown aggravated liver injury, fibrosis, and tumor formation in mice. Mechanistic studies revealed that METTL14 overexpression in HBV-infected hepatocytes promoted the degradation of cGAS mRNA by increasing its m6A modification, thereby suppressing the cGAS-STING pathway activation and IFNB1 release. Consequently, METTL14 overexpression inhibited stellate cell activation, which was reversed by cGAS-STING agonists. Downregulation of METTL14 reduces the degradation of cGAS mRNA through m6A modification, facilitates the cGAS-STING pathway activation and IFNB1 release, thereby accelerating HBV-related cirrhosis and HCC progressions.",
"42505558": "ID: 42505558\nTitle: From Pandemic Innovation to Platform Diversification: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Preclinical Development of Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccines.\nAbstract: Background: Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as a versatile platform beyond SARS-CoV-2, with expanding applications in infectious diseases and oncology. However, comprehensive evidence synthesis of non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines remains limited. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261323500). MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP were systematically searched for studies published between 1 January 2000 and 28 February 2026. Eligible studies included phase I-III clinical trials and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and SYRCLE tools. Findings were synthesized narratively because of substantial heterogeneity. Results: A total of 40 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, comprising 20 clinical studies and 20 preclinical studies. Advanced clinical programs targeted influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with phase III trials displaying seroconversion rates above 70% with good safety profiles. Preliminary phase I studies for HIV, cytomegalovirus, rabies, and personalized cancer mRNA vaccines showed promising humoral and cellular immune responses. Preclinical studies showed strong antibody and T-cell responses against malaria, tuberculosis, Group B Streptococcus, and Zika virus. Most adverse events were mild to moderate, while serious vaccine-related adverse events were uncommon. Conclusions: Non-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines demonstrate substantial translational potential across infectious disease and oncology applications. Although the vaccine candidates have demonstrated promising immunogenicity and safety, most are in the early stages of development. This highlights the need for large trials, long-term safety follow-up and better global representation.",

However, its precise quantification remains challenging due to complex impurity profiles and the high physicochemical similarity between the target cap and related impurities. Although liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is widely employed for this purpose, current methodologies still face significant limitations, including labor-intensive sample preparation, low analytical throughput, poor reproducibility in quantifying low-level impurities, and a lack of universally applicable strategies across diverse mRNA vaccine platforms. Methods: We systematically optimized sample preparation and LC-MS detection workflows. RNase H-mediated cleavage was compared with DNAzymes, guide DNA probes were rationally designed, and thermostable RNase H was introduced for one-step denaturation and cleavage. To establish an accurate, efficient, and universal sample preparation workflow. Chromatographic conditions were optimized using an ion-pairing reagent system to suppress ESI-MS metal adducts. Eliminating sample purification improves recovery, reduces manual handling errors, and boosts assay efficiency. Results: Through optimally designed guide DNA probes, RNase H cleavage specificity reached \u226598% with high cleavage efficiency, offering higher efficiency than DNAzyme. Furthermore, the incorporation of thermostable RNase H enabled a single-step workflow combining high-temperature denaturation and site-specific cleavage, substantially streamlining sample preparation. On the chromatographic side, optimization of the ion-pairing reagent system effectively suppressed metal adduct formation in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This advancement enabled direct injection of the 5' cap fragments without purification, achieving high-recovery quantification while demonstrating broad compatibility across mainstream LC-MS platforms. The optimized assay reduces the total analytical workflow from 4~6 h to under 1.5 h. Conclusions: Combining high accuracy, robustness, and broad platform compatibility, this method offers a universal, high-throughput analytical solution for mRNA vaccine quality control and continuous process development.",

Since its discovery in 1998, recurrent epidemics have occurred in South and Southeast Asia, with a case fatality rate ranging from 40% to 100%. The outbreak in West Bengal, India in early 2026 has once again highlighted its severe threat to public health. To date, no licensed human vaccines or specific therapeutics against NiV are available worldwide. This review systematically summarizes the breakthroughs in antigen design for NiV vaccines, with a focus on conformational stabilization of prefusion F (pre-F) protein, chimeric G/F antigens, and multivalent nanoparticle strategies. In addition, we comparatively analyze the clinical progress of mainstream vaccine platforms, including viral vectors, mRNA and subunit vaccines. Given the sporadic nature and high mortality of NiV infection, the conventional licensing pathway relying on large-scale phase III clinical trials faces substantial practical obstacles. Accordingly, this article discusses adaptive adjustments in regulatory science. We propose several strategies to accelerate the clinical translation and emergency stockpiling of NiV vaccine candidates, including establishing unified correlates of protection thresholds, coordinating multinational regulatory resources, and optimizing the implementation of Animal Rule.",

However, frequent antigenic drift and occasional antigenic shift, along with the lead time required for vaccine development and regional differences in the evolution of circulating strains, may lead to mismatches between WHO-recommended vaccine strains and circulating viruses. In addition, antiviral resistance further complicates precise influenza prevention and control. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the concordance of vaccine strains with circulating influenza viruses and the emergence of neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) resistance in China. Methods: Data on antigenic characterization and antiviral susceptibility testing were extracted from weekly influenza surveillance reports published by the Chinese National Influenza Center from 2015 to 2025. Viral evolution, substitutions at key antigenic sites, and resistance-associated mutations were further examined based on sequences of circulating influenza viruses in China. Results: The overall vaccine match rates were 95.72% (95% CI: 94.02-97.43%) for A(H1N1)pdm09, 58.96% (95% CI: 54.93-62.96%) for A(H3N2), 64.45% (95% CI: 59.49-69.41%) for B/Victoria, and 95.19% (95% CI: 91.32-99.05%) for B/Yamagata in China during the 2015-2025 influenza seasons, with marked year-to-year fluctuations observed particularly for A(H3N2) and B/Victoria. The vaccine matching for cell-based A(H3N2) (70.41%, 95% CI: 65.04-75.77%) vaccine reference strains was significantly higher than that for egg-based A(H3N2) (48.09%, 95% CI: 42.63-53.55%) vaccine reference strains. Sequence analysis indicated that circulating A(H3N2) viruses showed the greatest genetic divergence from the matched egg-based vaccine strains (2.71%, 95% CI: 2.66-2.75%). Phenotypic NAI resistance was detected only in A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses, with resistance rates of 0.18% (95% CI: 0.07-0.45%) in 2023, 3.47% (95% CI: 2.63-4.57%) in 2024, and 3.01% (95% CI: 2.46-3.68%) in 2025. Neuraminidase (NA) sequence analysis showed that the key NAI resistance-associated substitution H274Y has been detected in A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses since 2015, at relatively high frequencies observed during 2015-2018. The mutation re-emerged in 2023 and presented increase trends thereafter, although no A(H1N1) pdm09 circulated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Antigenic concordance between vaccine strains and circulating A(H3N2) or B/Victoria viruses showed marked year-to-year fluctuations in China. Cell-based A(H3N2) vaccine reference strains showed higher antigenic concordance than egg-based strains, supporting further consideration of vaccine production platforms in A(H3N2)-predominant seasons. Phenotypic NAI resistance in circulating A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses was detected from 2023 onward in China, whereas resistance-associated NA substitutions had been detected earlier at the sequence level.",

Among current vaccine technologies, mRNA vaccines offer unique advantages, including rapid development, flexible antigen design, and potent immunogenicity. However, efficient mucosal delivery of mRNA remains challenging due to biological barriers within the respiratory tract, including mucus clearance, limited cellular uptake, and instability during aerosolization. Furthermore, mRNA formulations intended for respiratory mucosal delivery require more stringent safety and tolerability profiles. Recent advances in nanoparticle engineering have accelerated the development of mRNA delivery systems optimized for respiratory mucosal immunization. This review aims to evaluate how nanoparticle engineering strategies can overcome respiratory mucosal barriers and improve the safety, stability, delivery efficiency, extrahepatic expression, and immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. We summarize recent progress in engineered mRNA nanoparticle platforms for respiratory mucosal immunity, encompassing modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), polymer-based mRNA nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticle systems, including lipid-inorganic, polymeric hybrid, and lipid-extracellular vesicle (EV) nanoparticles. We further discuss optimization strategies for mucosal mRNA delivery, including the incorporation of appropriate adjuvants, the development of polyethylene glycol (PEG) alternatives, and advanced delivery approaches. Finally, we highlight current challenges and future directions for the rational design of next-generation mRNA nanoparticle platforms that can induce durable and broadly protective mucosal immunity against respiratory viral infections.",

We conducted a PRISMA-ScR-guided scoping review of human CHIKV vaccine evidence indexed in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from January 2000 to June 2026. After screening 890 records, we included 77 sources of evidence and mapped them at both the record level and the candidate/product level. The included evidence clustered around a limited number of vaccine programs, including TSI-GSD-218, VRC-CHKVLP059-00-VP/PXVX0317/Vimkunya, MV-CHIK/V184, VLA1553/IXCHIQ, ChAdOx1 Chik, and mRNA-1388/VAL-181388. Late-stage and post-authorization evidence was concentrated mainly in VLA1553/IXCHIQ and PXVX0317/Vimkunya, whereas viral-vector and mRNA candidates remained largely restricted to early-phase adult studies. Evidence has expanded to adolescents and adults aged \u226565 years for selected products but remains limited or product-specific for children, pregnant individuals, immunocompromised populations, and medically complex older adults. Short-term trial safety data were characterized primarily by mild or moderate local and systemic reactogenicity, while post-authorization safety evidence remains recent and concentrated in licensed products. This scoping review provides a structured evidence map for CHIKV vaccine development and highlights priorities for standardized immunogenicity assessment, longer-term durability data, broader population representation, endemic-region effectiveness studies, and continued post-marketing surveillance.",
"42506641": "ID: 42506641\nTitle: Evaluating Memory B Cell Cross-Reactivity Between Ancestral and Future SARS-CoV-2 Variants-Evidence for Original Antigenic Sin.\nAbstract: Background: Despite the circulation of evolutionarily related cold-causing coronaviruses (CCCs) in the pre-COVID era, most individuals lacked pre-existing serum IgG and/or class-switched memory B cell (Bmem) reactivity for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) glycoprotein expressed by the ancestral Wuhan-Hu-1 (WH1) strain. Subsequent priming of the immune system through natural infection or prophylactic COVID-19 mRNA vaccination successfully generated robust Bmem responses against the WH1-S antigen, along with eliciting cross-reactivity for the future Omicron (BA.1) variant responsible for breakthrough infections (BTIs). However, to what extent immunological imprinting of Bmem towards the WH1-S antigen detrimentally constrains the elicitation of variant-specific antibody responses following subsequent booster vaccinations or BTIs-a phenomena referred to as \"original antigenic sin\"-remains an unresolved and open question. Methods: Using ImmunoSpot\u00ae, we evaluated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from defined human cohorts for IgG+ ASC reactivity against Spike proteins representing CCCs and SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, we developed a novel dual-label inverted FluoroSpot assay to distinguish between strain-specific and cross-reactive IgG+ ASCs recognizing epitopes in the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants. Results: Our data demonstrate a lack of appreciable back-boosting of IgG+ Bmem recognizing structurally conserved epitopes shared between CCCs and SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, we found evidence for immunological imprinting and the preferential expansion of Bmem recognizing cross-reactive epitopes in the RBD following BTI. Nevertheless, Omicron strain-specific Bmem were detected in PBMC donors collected in 2025. Conclusions: Our novel inverted dual-label FluoroSpot methodology evidenced preferential expansion of cross-reactive Bmem following breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection and supports the influence of original antigenic sin shaping the recall response. Moreover, the inverted dual-label assay provides a highly flexible and easily implementable technique for distinguishing between strain-specific and cross-reactive B cell responses and has broad applications in translational vaccine research against pathogens that undergo antigenic drift.",

However, their limited stability poses significant challenges for storage and global distribution. The instability of mRNA-LNP products makes them dependent on ultra-cold chain systems. This instability is driven by various physicochemical factors, including temperature, pH, light exposure, oxidation, aggregation, shear stress, and humidity. These factors destabilize the physical and chemical integrity of both mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) components, leading to reduced vaccine potency and potentially increasing the risk of adverse safety outcomes. Understanding these factors and their mechanisms is crucial for retaining mRNA-LNP efficacy. This review discusses the key physicochemical instability factors and molecular degradation mechanisms responsible for the structural and functional deterioration of mRNA-LNP formulations. Further, we summarize the stabilization strategies and analytical methods used to detect and quantify the degradation of mRNA-LNP products. Addressing these challenges is critical for advancing next-generation nucleic acid-based drug products and LNP-based delivery systems.",

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including Shuangyu Granule (SYKL), has demonstrated efficacy in managing influenza. This study aimed to systematically identify the chemical components of SYKL in vitro and its absorbed constituents in vivo, and to preliminarily explore its potential mechanism in regulating influenza-related immune inflammation. UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS and GC-MS were used to characterize SYKL's chemical profile, identifying 148 in vitro components and 21 prototype absorbed blood components. Network target analysis, integrated with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from influenza patients, predicted that the absorbed components may target multiple immune-inflammatory regulatory genes across various immune cell types. Molecular docking suggested favorable predicted binding potential between these components and target proteins. Experimental validation using poly(I:C)-induced inflammatory models in both RAW264.7 macrophages and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) showed that the absorbed components-loganic acid, 8-epiloganic acid, calycosin, atractylodin, eucalyptol, secoxyloganin, and paeoniflorin-significantly reduced mRNA expression of immune-inflammatory genes (DUSP6, MAPKAPK2, NOD2) and inhibited secretion of TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IL-8, and NO. These findings suggest that SYKL may alleviate influenza-associated inflammation through multi-component, multi-cell, and multi-target pathways, highlighting its potential in modulating excessive immune responses in influenza.",

Insufficient BKPyV-specific immunity underlies the onset and duration of BKPyV-DNAemia and nephropathy. BKPyV-specific T-cells have been correlated with protection and include cytotoxic CD8 T-cells targeting immunodominant 9mer-epitopes encoded in the viral large tumor-antigen (LTag). To develop vaccines increasing LTag-specific T-cells, we reduced the 695 amino acid-long LTag to 143 residues or less, comprising four clusters of immunodominant 9mers presented by 54 HLA-alleles. Prediction algorithms allowed to improve global coverage, AAY-linker placement, proteasomal processing, and solubility. Using a human cell culture vaccination model, transfection of adherent monocytes with LTAG1-mRNA and LTAG2-mRNA demonstrated the expected 13.9kD and 15.2kD immunogens, respectively. LTAG2-mRNA induced higher CD8 T-cell responses than LTAG1-mRNA, with an interferon-\u03b3-positive CD62L-CD45RA-effector memory phenotype and cytotoxicity for BKPyV-replicating primary human renal tubular epithelial cells. We tested three additional candidates (LTAG3-mRNA, LTAG4-mRNA, LTAG5-mRNA) by changing AAY-linkers and extending immunogenic regions. The encoded immunogens were expressed and increased upon proteasome inhibitor treatment. LTag5-expanded T-cells showed BKPyV-specific interferon-\u03b3 expression and cytotoxicity. Our results demonstrate novel approaches to design modular mRNA-based vaccine candidates for clinical development of non-secreted antigens using BKPyV as a paradigm of non-enveloped DNA viruses.",
"42509561": "ID: 42509561\nTitle: The current landscape of mRNA therapy and the strategies for mRNA purification and dsRNA removal.\nAbstract: Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology has emerged as a cornerstone in vaccine development and therapeutic applications, offering key benefits such as high potency, rapid scalability, and cost-effectiveness. The success of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has underscored their efficacy and safety. However, residual byproducts generated during mRNA synthesis, such as unincorporated caps, nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), DNA templates, enzymes, abortive transcripts, and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), pose significant challenges to the clinical application of the RNA therapy. Among these, dsRNA is particularly problematic as it can activate various innate immune responses, suppress mRNA translation and potentially compromise the therapeutic efficacy of mRNA. Therefore, effectively removing dsRNA from in vitro synthesized mRNA is essential before its used in preclinical or clinical settings. In this review article, we provide a comprehensive overview of current mRNA development pipelines and ongoing clinical trials, and recent advances in mRNA purification techniques. Specifically, we focus on strategies for dsRNA removal, which can be broadly categorized into two approaches: (1) separating or removing dsRNA from in vitro transcription (IVT) mRNA products using methods such as RP-HPLC chromatography and cellulose-based purification; and (2) minimizing dsRNA formation during IVT by employing engineered RNA polymerase mutants, chaotropic agents, and magnetic beads, as well as modifying/optimizing DNA templates or RNA molecules to reduce dsRNA generation. We also discuss the advantages and limitations of these purification methods, the factors influencing the selection of purification strategies, and explore potential future directions for improving dsRNA purification technologies and their applications in mRNA-based therapeutics.",

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the dysregulation of proinflammatory signaling in microglial cells remain largely elusive. A prominent role has been ascribed to the TLR4 receptor and its downstream targets, among which the transcription factor IRF5 has recently gained attention. Furthermore, the enzyme HO-1 is known to play a crucial role in mediating an anti-inflammatory phenotype in microglia. This study aims to investigate whether IRF5 is a target of the anti-inflammatory activity of HO-1. Using the human microglial cell line HMC3 and validating the results in RAW264.7 macrophage-like cells, via RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence, we demonstrated that HO-1 contributes to the resolution of LPS-induced proinflammatory activation. Notably, cell exposure to a pharmacological inhibitor of HO-1 increases IRF5 mRNA expression, while treatment with Hemin, able to increase HO-1 expression, significantly reduces IRF5 phosphorylation. This work suggests a possible crosstalk between HO-1 and IRF5, proposing new druggable molecular targets to counteract neuroinflammation.",

This study aimed to integrate bulk transcriptomic cohorts with the gene-expression component of a single-nucleus multimodal dataset to identify reproducible SASP-related candidate biomarkers and prioritize fibroblast-associated signals in RA. SASP-score correlation analysis, differential expression analysis, cross-cohort evaluation, logistic regression, gene set enrichment analysis, single-nucleus transcriptomic characterization, predicted regulatory network analysis, and RT-qPCR assessment were performed. GSE89408 was used as the discovery bulk transcriptomic cohort, GSE77298 as the external evaluation cohort, and GSE243917 as the single-nucleus gene-expression dataset. Fibroblasts showed relatively high SASP-related transcriptional scores within the RA single-nucleus dataset. The cross-cohort evaluation retained RCAN1, IRF1, CFB, and TIMP1 as reproducibly elevated candidates. Among all 15 non-empty panels derived from these four genes, the RCAN1/IRF1/CFB panel achieved the highest five-fold cross-validated AUC in GSE89408 and tied for the highest external AUC in GSE77298. Adding TIMP1 did not improve the external AUC or the 95% confidence interval. Among the retained genes, CFB showed the strongest fibroblast-associated expression pattern and SASP-score correlation. The RT-qPCR analysis provided preliminary mRNA-level support for the increased expression of RCAN1, IRF1, and CFB in the RA-related cell samples. RCAN1, IRF1, and CFB form a reproducible SASP-related candidate panel in RA, with CFB prioritized as a fibroblast-associated marker. Further protein-level, functional, and controlled single-cell validation studies are required.",

Toll-like receptor signaling via MYD88- and TRIF-dependent pathways plays a central role in this process; however, its temporal and tissue-specific dynamics remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate time-dependent transcriptional changes in MYD88- and TRIF-dependent signaling pathways across multiple organs in a murine model of sepsis. mRNA expression of MYD88, IRAK1, IRAK4, NF-kB, CCL4, CCL20, CCR2, IFN-\u03b2, IFN-\u03b3, TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-2, IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, Klotho, KLF4, HOXA5, NANOG and HIF1\u03b1 was quantified using qRT-PCR in intestinal, kidney, liver and lung tissues at 24, 48, and 72 h following cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis in male C57BL/6J mice. Significant upregulation of innate immune signaling molecules, cytokines, chemokines, and interferon-related genes was observed in all tissues compared with controls. Genes associated with hypoxia and cellular regulation were also increased. These responses were tissue-specific and progressively intensified over time. Sepsis represents a dynamic, time-dependent, and tissue-specific process characterized by sustained activation of immune and hypoxic pathways, providing potential targets for time-stratified therapeutic strategies.",
"42511481": "ID: 42511481\nTitle: Evolution of MUC1 During Retrotransposon Expansion as a Potential Adaptation Exploited in Human Cancer.\nAbstract: The MUCIN 1 (MUC1) gene evolved in eutherian mammals in association with the marked expansion of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). MUC1 encodes the MUC1-C/M1C protein that protects barrier epithelia from exogenous viruses. Activation of M1C in response to loss of homeostasis induces STAT1 and the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway. Studies in cancer cells have found that M1C regulates human ERV (HERV) expression by a STAT1-mediated mechanism. These discoveries have uncovered new insights into M1C-induced regulation of HERVs and other retrotransposons, such as LINE-1 (L1) and Alu. M1C signaling integrates retrotransposon transcription with induction of the counteracting apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic 3 (APOBEC3) genes that, like MUC1, first appeared in placental mammals. Activation of retrotransposons induces viral mimicry characterized as an IFN-I response that promotes innate anti-tumor immunity. Conversely, M1C protects cancer cells by sustained induction of the IFN-I pathway and immune evasion. This review posits that M1C-dependent regulation of retrotransposon and APOBEC3 expression represents an adaptive response exploited by cancer cells that promotes malignant progression.",

However, patients with solid tumors receiving active anticancer treatment were largely underrepresented in pivotal vaccination trials, limiting understanding of vaccine-induced immunity in this population. In this prospective exploratory study, we assessed humoral and cellular immune responses after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in 39 patients with solid tumors undergoing active treatment. Blood samples were collected before vaccination and approximately two months after the second vaccine dose, prior to the next treatment cycle. Anti-spike IgG, neutralizing antibodies, receptor-binding domain (RBD) levels, interleukin-6 (IL-6), hematological parameters, immune cell subsets, T-cell differentiation, and early apoptosis in \u03b1\u03b2 and \u03b3\u03b4 T-cell subsets were analyzed. Vaccination induced a robust humoral response, with high post-vaccination anti-spike IgG levels (median 988.69 BAU/mL), 97.44% seropositivity, 96.88% true seroconversion among baseline IgG-/NAb- patients, and strong neutralizing antibody activity (median 85.73%). Hematological parameters and IL-6 levels remained broadly stable, suggesting no detectable increase in systemic inflammation during the study period. Cellular analyses identified a reduction in peripheral CD19+ B-cell frequencies and decreased early apoptosis, particularly in CD8+ T cells and CD3+CD56+ NKT-like cells. Although changes in T-cell frequencies and differentiation profiles were also observed, these findings were attenuated after exclusion of participants with possible prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure and should be interpreted as exploratory. Overall, these results show that patients with solid tumors receiving active treatment can mount robust humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination and suggest measurable post-vaccination changes in lymphocyte dynamics, including reduced early T-cell apoptosis.",

MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) is a well-recognized negative regulator of inflammatory signaling, primarily through suppression of the NF-\u03baB pathway; however, its broader proteomic impact under inflammatory conditions remains incompletely defined. In this study, we overexpressed an miR-146a mimic in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and applied quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize global protein abundance changes. Functional overexpression was supported by reduced mRNA abundance of the established miR-146a targets TRAF6 and IRAK1 under LPS-stimulated conditions. Proteomic analysis identified 1232 proteins showing differential abundance under the predefined exploratory criteria, including proteins related to NF-\u03baB activity, inflammasome components, nitric oxide synthesis, and IL-6-associated pathways. Proteins linked to interferon-related signaling were also altered. Targeted validation by quantitative RT-PCR and parallel reaction monitoring supported changes in selected inflammatory mediators, including PTGS2, NOS2, MAPKAPK2, and IRF3. Functionally, miR-146a overexpression was associated with reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide and IL-6 production. Together, these findings provide an exploratory proteomic overview of pathways associated with miR-146a overexpression in activated macrophages and suggest that miR-146a is associated with modulation of multiple inflammatory signaling networks under inflammatory conditions.",

However, their direct impact on pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of budesonide on immune responses and the expression of coronavirus entry receptors in human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L). Materials and Methods: HMVEC-L cells were exposed to budesonide (1 ng/mL), a non-cytotoxic concentration selected based on cell viability assays. The mRNA expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), aminopeptidase N (AP-N), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), interferon beta (IFN-\u03b2), RANTES/CCL5, and interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8) was analyzed using quantitative RT-PCR. The surface expression of ACE2, DPP4, AP-N, and ICAM-1 was assessed using flow cytometry. Secreted IL-8 concentration was measured using ELISA. Results: Budesonide significantly reduced AP-N and DPP4 mRNA expression, accompanied by a decrease in the surface expression of both receptors. ACE2 mRNA expression was transiently reduced, whereas ACE2 surface expression was modestly increased by approximately 5% at 72 h. Budesonide also reduced early ICAM-1 mRNA expression but increased its surface expression at the later time point. Budesonide significantly reduced RANTES/CCL5 and IL-8/CXCL8 mRNA expression, with a corresponding decrease in secreted IL-8 concentration, whereas IFN-\u03b2 mRNA expression showed a non-significant statistical decrease. Conclusions: Budesonide directly modulates pulmonary endothelial immune responses and coronavirus-associated receptor expression. These findings indicate that budesonide modulates the expression of coronavirus-associated receptors and basal antiviral and inflammatory mediators in HMVEC-L cells. Because viral binding, entry, replication, and infection were not assessed, these results should be interpreted as evidence of receptor and immune-mediator modulation rather than as demonstrating altered coronavirus susceptibility.",

Although these next-generation vaccines offer improved safety, rapid adaptability, and manufacturing flexibility, their relatively low intrinsic immunogenicity often requires efficient adjuvants and delivery systems. Nanoparticle-based vaccine platforms have therefore emerged as versatile tools capable of protecting antigens, improving targeted delivery, and modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. This review summarizes the major classes of nanovaccine platforms, including lipid and polymeric nanoparticles, self-assembling protein nanostructures such as virus-like particles and ferritin nanocages, saponin-based self-assembling complexes, and inorganic nanomaterials. Particular attention is given to how vaccine performance is determined not only by material composition but also by nanoparticle physicochemical properties, biodistribution, cellular uptake, and mechanisms of immune activation. We further discuss the major challenges limiting clinical translation, including scalable manufacturing, safety evaluation, quality control, regulatory requirements, and long-term biocompatibility. Finally, emerging strategies involving hybrid and personalized nanovaccine platforms are highlighted, illustrating how nanotechnology and immunoengineering are transforming vaccine development for both prophylactic and therapeutic applications.",
"42514871": "ID: 42514871\nTitle: Analytical Characterization and Stability Assessment of RNA-Based Vaccines.\nAbstract: Ribonucleic acid-based vaccines have emerged as one of the most significant advances in modern vaccine development, demonstrating remarkable clinical success and enabling rapid responses to emerging infectious diseases. Despite their therapeutic potential, the development of these vaccines remains challenging because of the inherent instability of ribonucleic acid molecules, their susceptibility to degradation, and the complexity of formulation design. Ensuring product quality, stability, and biological performance therefore requires comprehensive analytical characterization throughout development, manufacturing, storage, and quality control. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current analytical strategies used to evaluate ribonucleic acid-based vaccine formulations. Key analytical approaches for assessing molecular integrity, purity, encapsulation efficiency, particle morphology, size distribution, surface characteristics, structural attributes, and biological potency are discussed. The review also examines the influence of formulation composition, lipid nanoparticle design, manufacturing processes, and storage conditions on vaccine stability and performance. In addition, major degradation pathways, critical quality attributes, and analytical challenges associated with quality assessment are highlighted. Furthermore, current regulatory considerations and limitations of existing analytical methodologies are discussed, particularly the challenges associated with establishing robust relationships between physicochemical properties and biological efficacy. The review emphasizes the importance of integrated multi-method analytical approaches for comprehensive characterization and quality assurance. Continued advances in analytical technologies and standardization efforts will be essential for supporting the development of safe, effective, and stable ribonucleic acid-based vaccines and for facilitating their broader pharmaceutical applications.",
"42514893": "ID: 42514893\nTitle: Anti-PEG Immunogenicity of mRNA-LNP Vaccines in Humans: Evidence for Population-Level Changes in the Anti-PEG Antibody Repertoire.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used to enhance the stability and pharmacokinetics of nanomedicines, including lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based mRNA vaccines. However, both pre-existing and vaccine-induced anti-PEG antibodies may compromise the efficacy and safety of PEGylated therapeutics. Methods: In this study, we analyzed the specificity and avidity of anti-PEG antibodies in human blood donor samples from Unvaccinated individuals and recipients of PEGylated mRNA-LNP vaccines (Comirnaty and Spikevax), polysorbate-containing vaccines, or vaccines lacking both PEG and polysorbates. Quantitative ELISA was used to characterize anti-PEG and anti-polysorbate IgM and IgG responses in 325 plasma samples, while an equilibrium titration method was applied to assess IgG binding to PEG molecules, micelles, and PEGylated liposomes with defined structural features in 36 plasma samples. Results: Vaccination with PEGylated mRNA-LNPs was associated with increased anti-PEG antibody levels and qualitative changes in antibody binding behavior. Anti-PEG IgG antibodies displayed progressively higher avidity toward larger and structurally more complex PEG-containing antigens, with the strongest binding observed for PEGylated liposomes. Notably, vaccinated individuals, particularly those who received Spikevax, showed increased end-group and backbone-specific avidity, as well as an enhanced ability of antibody paratopes to engage shorter PEG chains. In contrast, polysorbate-containing or PEG-free vaccines did not elicit comparable effects. Conclusions: These findings suggest that vaccination with PEGylated mRNA-LNPs is associated with the emergence of altered antibody populations with increased end-group reactivity and higher avidity toward PEG-directed immune responses, despite PEG being a synthetic, nonprotein polymer. Antibody binding to LNPs, accompanied by the emergence of high-avidity anti-PEG IgG seems to be consistent with an increased risk of adverse events, particularly following repeated vaccinations, including complement activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA) and anaphylaxis. It may also contribute to altered immune protection against the vaccine target, underscoring the need for avidity-aware risk-benefit assessment of PEGylated therapeutics.",
"42514945": "ID: 42514945\nTitle: Optimization of Therapeutic modRNA Delivery to the Lung for Prevention of Pulmonary Fibrosis.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and fatal disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition and irreversible lung remodeling. Although modified mRNA (modRNA) therapeutics offer a promising strategy for regulating disease-driving pathways, effective pulmonary delivery remains challenging due to the inherent liver tropism of conventional lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). This study aimed to establish an optimized platform for lung-selective modRNA delivery and therapeutic screening for pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: A panel of charge-modified LNP formulations was evaluated in vivo for pulmonary tropism following systemic administration of luciferase (Luc) modRNA. Administration routes, biodistribution in healthy and bleomycin (BLM)-induced fibrotic lungs, and endogenous microRNA (miRNA)-mediated de-targeting strategies were assessed. Candidate antifibrotic modRNAs targeting the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2) signaling pathway were subsequently evaluated in normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLFs). Results: Among the formulations tested, 50% DOTAP MC3 LNPs demonstrated the most favorable balance of pulmonary transfection, physicochemical properties, and limited off-target expression. Intravenous (IV) administration achieved robust lung expression with a superior safety profile compared with intratracheal (IT) delivery. Importantly, pulmonary biodistribution was preserved in BLM-induced fibrotic lungs despite extensive tissue remodeling. Incorporation of miR-122 recognition sites further enhanced selectivity, resulting in 94.5% of total transgene expression being localized to the lungs while substantially reducing residual hepatic expression. In vitro screening identified dominant-negative TGF-\u03b2 receptor II (DNTGFBR2) modRNA as a potent inhibitor of TGF-\u03b2-induced fibrotic activation, significantly suppressing \u03b1-SMA and CTGF expression. Conclusions: These findings establish a comprehensive platform for pulmonary modRNA therapeutic development by integrating lung-selective LNP engineering, optimal systemic delivery, miRNA-mediated de-targeting, and therapeutic payload screening. This strategy provides a foundation for the development of targeted RNA therapies for pulmonary fibrosis and other organ-specific diseases.",
"42515093": "ID: 42515093\nTitle: Hiding in Plain Sight: HIV-1 Membraneless Organelles as Nuclear Hubs-Host Hijacking, Replication, Immune Evasion, and Drug-Access Implications.\nAbstract: Theories on the early steps of the HIV-1 life cycle have been radically revised over the past five years. The long-held assumption that the capsid fully disassembles in the cytoplasm has given way to a more nuanced view: Cytoplasmic disassembly does occur and, in several myeloid systems, is increasingly linked to cytosolic cDNA sensing and to abortive infection. However, a substantial fraction of intact or nearly intact capsid cores instead traverse the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and, upon interacting with the host factor CPSF6, induce liquid-liquid phase separation. This leads to the formation of biomolecular condensates, termed HIV-1 membraneless organelles (HIV-1-MLOs), which subsequently merge with nuclear speckles (NSs). In this Perspective we read these condensates along five interlocking axes. First, the virus drives the host phase separation of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (CPSF6), which quickly fuses with another MLO: the NS composed of the speckle scaffold factors, SON and SRRM2. Second, the resulting condensate behaves as a catalytic site that concentrates the reverse-transcription machinery and thereby promotes integration of the viral DNA into speckle-associated chromatin (SPADs). Third, the same compartment is the final layer of a stratified programme of innate immune evasion, shielding nascent double-stranded DNA from cGAS-STING after cytoplasmic restriction factors and sensors have been outmanoeuvred. Fourth, although demonstrated only in vitro, stable HIV-1-MLOs can maintain the viral RNA genome in the presence of a reverse-transcription inhibitor. Upon removal of the inhibitor, reverse transcription resumes, mirroring, to some extent, the situation in individuals undergoing interruption of antiretroviral therapy and suggesting that these structures may act as a pre-integration reservoir. Fifth, and still largely unexplored, the sanctuary has a pharmacological dimension: anatomical lymphoid compartments, and possibly the condensate itself through selective small-molecule partitioning, may limit antiretroviral drug access. We situate HIV-1-MLOs within the convergent condensate strategies of SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses, and we discuss the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and vaccine implications, including capsid inhibitors as \"block-and-expose\" tools.",

Whether viral proteins persist in lesional vessels beyond the acute phase remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in persistent or delayed-onset cutaneous vasculitis temporally associated with COVID-19 infection or vaccination. This retrospective case-control study includes 9 patients with persistent or delayed-onset vasculitic skin lesions following COVID-19 infection (n=4) or mRNA vaccination (n=5). Skin biopsies were analysed using immunofluorescence for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Prepandemic leukocytoclastic vasculitis (n=3) and healthy postinfection/postvaccination skin (n=3) served as controls. Spike protein was detected in vascular endothelial cells of all 9 patients with COVID-19- or vaccine-associated vasculitis. Staining was absent in all prepandemic vasculitis and healthy control samples. Histopathology showed typical features of leukocytoclastic vasculitis without evidence of viral cytopathic changes. We found that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can persist in endothelial cells of vasculitic skin lesions weeks to months after COVID-19 infection or mRNA vaccination. These findings suggest that retained viral proteins may contribute to prolonged or delayed-onset vasculitic skin manifestations. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying spike persistence and its clinical significance.",

ADE has been extensively characterised in flaviviral systems, most notably dengue virus (DENV), and presents a significant challenge for vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutic design. In coronavirus infections, ADE may operate through both classical Fc gamma receptor (Fc\u03b3R)-mediated pathways and an intrinsic signalling mechanism involving inhibitory Fc\u03b3RIIb-mediated suppression of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response. Of critical translational relevance is the functionally demonstrated cooperative Fc\u03b3R-ACE2 entry model for SARS-CoV-2, wherein virus-antibody immune complexes engage Fc\u03b3 receptors and require ACE2 interaction for efficient enhancement. For SARS-CoV-2 specifically, ADE magnitude appears to be determined by an antibody's capacity to block spike-ACE2 interaction rather than its neutralisation potency in vitro-a finding distinct from FIPV and other coronavirus ADE systems where classical Fc\u03b3R-mediated mechanisms predominate without ACE2 co-receptor dependency. Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) represents one of the most rigorously documented biological systems in which antibody-mediated macrophage infection directly determines systemic disease outcome. This comprehensive review integrates current knowledge of Fc\u03b3R biology, IgG subclass dynamics, antibody glycosylation, coronavirus cell entry mechanisms, intracellular signalling cascades, cytokine dysregulation, comparative veterinary immunopathology, and nano-engineered immunomodulatory platforms for ADE-safe vaccine development. No confirmed clinical ADE has been documented to date in mRNA-vaccinated populations, though theoretical risk windows and population-specific vulnerabilities are critically discussed.",

Recent studies demonstrated that, in addition to the ionizable lipids, the type of phospholipids and the ratio of polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipids in LNPs also influence the magnitude and quality of vaccine-induced immune responses. Here we evaluated the cellular and humoral immunity elicited by LNPs with different phospholipids and PEG lipid ratios in cynomolgus macaques. We observed differences in antibody and CD4+ T cell responses across LNP groups, although not all comparisons reached statistical significance, likely due to the limited sample size. While this study was exploratory, the findings differed from those previously obtained with these LNPs in mice, confirming the importance of assessing LNP formulations in non-human primates prior to clinical evaluation.",
"42520014": "ID: 42520014\nTitle: Non-human primate LIBRA-Seq accelerates neutralizing antibody discovery in RM vaccinated against HIV-1.\nAbstract: Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) exhibit protective efficacy against HIV-1 infection making them an ideal archetype for HIV-1 vaccine design. Presently, no vaccine candidate has induced antibody responses capable of meaningful protection against the swathe of circulating, difficult to neutralize tier 2 HIV-1 viruses. However, the development of stabilized, native-like envelope (Env) trimers such as BG505.SOSIP.664.T332N (BG505 SOSIP) has marked a significant advancement in vaccine design, due to their ability to elicit NAbs that neutralize tier 2 viruses in rhesus macaques (RM). NAb development following envelope trimer immunization in RM remains poorly understood, with hypothesized contributions from genetic variation at the IG loci, naive B cell repertoire, and differential gene expression in B cell lineages. To address these knowledge gaps, we have developed a set of BG505 SOSIP probes capable of recovering paired clonotype identity, antigen specificity, and gene expression of B cells in a high throughput fashion. These probes were constructed by conjugating biotinylated BG505 SOSIP to streptavidin covalently linked to both sc-RNA-Seq compatible DNA oligonucleotides and flow cytometry compatible fluorophores. Using these reagents, we isolated and sequenced BG505 SOSIP specific memory B cells from the PBMCs of an RM that developed high titers of neutralizing antibodies. To benchmark the accuracy of our technology, we compared our recovered heavy and light chain sequences to those identified from the same animal using conventional methodology and recovered 100% of previously identified NAbs. We then applied this technology to recover BG505 SOSIP specific memory B cells from five additional vaccinated RMs, cloned 34 antibodies for functional characterization, and identified ten antibodies with autologous neutralizing activity.",

The evidence suggests that probiotics may enhance immune responses when co-administered with influenza vaccination. However, few studies have evaluated the potential benefit of probiotic supplementation in this context in this high-risk population. This study was a randomized controlled trial recruiting adults between 65 and 89 y of age living in Quebec, Canada, who received an mRNA booster (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna). Probiotic supplementation (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Rosell\u00ae-11 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Rosell\u00ae-215, 1x 6 x 109CFU per capsule) versus placebo was administered from 15 d pre- to 15 d post-vaccination. Participants provided dried blood spot samples at baseline, at 3- and 6-month post-vaccination. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants without detectable anti-S1-receptor binding domain (anti-S1-RBD) antibodies at 6 months post-vaccination. Secondary outcomes included longitudinal anti-S1-RBD and anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) antibody responses across the three timepoints. 592 adults were enrolled. At 6 months post-vaccination, anti-S1-RBD antibodies were comparable between groups, and the percentage of participants with undetectable antibody response in the placebo and probiotic groups (1.2% vs 1.6%) was comparable. Anti-N seropositivity was lower in the probiotic group at 6 months (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4-0.9; p\u2009=\u20090.02) and marginally lower at 3 months after adjustment. Self-reported COVID-19 infection incidence was 16.5% overall (19.1% placebo vs 13.9% probiotic; p\u2009=\u20090.134). Probiotic supplementation administered around COVID-19 vaccination did not change the proportion of seronegative participants for anti-S1-RBD antibodies at 6 months. However, in the probiotic group, anti-N antibody levels were lower, while self-reported COVID-19 infections also tended to be reduced, although this difference was not statistically significant. They may be consistent with earlier control of infection and reduced exposure to the nucleocapsid antigen, but this interpretation remains speculative. #NCT05195151.",

We aimed to define the molecular mechanisms responsible for differences in the rate of disease progression among children with BA. We performed spatial transcriptomics (ST) analysis on frozen liver tissue at transplant from 14 children: BA with survival with native liver (SNL) <2 years (BA1, n=3), BA with SNL >2 years (BA2, n=4), non-BA cholestasis (n=4), and non-diseased donors (n=3). Transcriptional signatures were compared between patient groups by tissue region (scar, hepatocyte, cholangiocyte). Findings were validated in larger patient cohorts that included BA samples at diagnosis. ST analysis of patients with BA1 showed the most aggressive disease phenotype, characterized by reduced hepatocyte zonation, low expression of homeostatic metabolic signatures, and increased scar heterogeneity enriched for pathways including extracellular matrix remodeling, interferon response, and leukocyte activation. Notably, genes involved in SOX4 hepatocyte-to-cholangiocyte reprogramming were most enriched in patients with BA1. Liver immunohistochemistry with in situ mRNA hybridization showed that patients with BA at diagnosis had increased SOX4 quantification as compared with patients with BA at transplant. Lastly, previously published liver bulk RNA-sequencing data demonstrated higher SOX4 gene-set expression in patients with BA at diagnosis with SNL <2 years. Children with BA and worse outcomes exhibit increased SOX4 gene-set expression at diagnosis with greater loss of hepatocyte zonation and immune-driven scar heterogeneity at transplant. Further mechanistic studies are needed to determine whether SOX4-associated biliary reprogramming contributes to maladaptive reparative processes in BA.",

Here, we present data for seven different vaccines among three pre-specified participant strata defined by age and primary vaccine schedule: those primed with AZD1222 and aged 50 -\u00a0<\u00a070 or 70+ years old and those primed with BNT162b2 aged 50-\u00a0<\u00a070\u00a0years old until day (D) 365. People who had not received a booster vaccine in the three months prior were eligible. Participants were recruited from January to November 2023 (T1) and from January to September 2024 (T2). Participants recruited during T1 were randomised to receive one of five COVID-19 booster vaccines. Participants recruited during T2 were randomised to receive one of two monovalent XBB.1.5 booster vaccines. Anti-spike Immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses were evaluated in all participants. Anti-spike total Ig was evaluated in participants recruited during T1. Neutralisation responses were evaluated in a pre-defined subset. There were 276 and 260 participants recruited in T1 and T2, respectively. All vaccines boosted humoral immune responses. Immunological responses measures at D28, 180 and 365 found peak total immunoglobulin (Ig), IgG and virus neutralisation (ND50) responses at D28. Responses returned to near-baseline levels by D365. Participants in the 50-\u00a0<\u00a070y-BNT162b2 stratum had higher total Ig, IgG and ND50 compared to those in the strata primed with AZD1222. The proportion who reported at least one severe event following Nvx, Pf BA.1, Mod BA.1, Pf BA.4/5, Mod BA.4/5, Pf XBB.1.5 and Mod XBB.1.5 were 1.1%, 2.9%, 6.7%, 0%, 5.9%, 2.9% and 5.4%, respectively.

Licensed vaccines against avian colibacillosis are available but with limitations, and the immunological basis of protection remains ill-defined. In this study, a bivalent live vaccine based on the APEC O1 and O2 serogroups was developed. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the non-immunized group, the bivalent vaccine immunized group showed a significant decrease in lesion score and colibacillosis positivity rate (p\u202f<\u202f0.05) after being challenged with APEC O1, O2, O78 serogroups. The mortality rate in vaccination/challenge group showed a decreasing trend without statistical significance compared with the challenge-only group. Immunological analysis confirmed that the vaccine induced a mucosal immune response mainly biased towards Th2, manifested by a significant increase in IgA antibody levels in tracheal lavage fluid and IL-6 mRNA expression in both spleen and lungs (p\u202f<\u202f0.01). The IgA antibody levels (measured as the optical density value at 450\u202fnm wavelength) of broilers vaccinated with the bivalent vaccine on the 28th and 29th days after vaccination were approximately 0.5 OD450\u202fnm units higher than those of the unvaccinated group. At the same time, the proportion of CD4+TCR V \u03b2 1+cells in peripheral blood significantly increased in relation to the non-immunized group (p\u202f<\u202f0.05). The safety assessment showed that the bivalent vaccine had no adverse effects on the growth performance and feed conversion rate of broiler chickens, did not cause pathological changes related to avian colibacillosis, and the vaccine strain survived in the body for less than 3 days without the ability of horizontal transmission. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of vaccines targeting avian colibacillosis.",

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor heterogeneity have limited the efficacy of current treatments, driving the exploration of novel immunotherapeutic strategies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have established a role in recurrent/metastatic HNC, yet response rates remain modest and resistance is common. In this context, mRNA vaccines have emerged as a transformative approach due to their flexibility, rapid development, and ability to induce potent, antigen-specific immune responses. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the application of mRNA vaccines in HNC immunotherapy, focusing on three major antigen sources: tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), tumor-specific neoantigens (TSAs), and virus-associated antigens such as HPV E6/E7. We examine the advantages and limitations of different delivery platforms-including lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), and ex vivo dendritic cell (DC)-mRNA vaccines-and discuss their integration with other modalities such as ICIs, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Preclinical and clinical data demonstrate that personalized neoantigen vaccines can elicit robust T-cell responses and improve survival outcomes, particularly in HPV-positive HNSCC. However, challenges such as tumor heterogeneity, inefficient delivery, immunosuppressive TME, manufacturing complexity, and lack of predictive biomarkers hinder widespread translation. Future directions include the development of \"off-the-shelf\" shared-antigen vaccines, next-generation delivery systems with enhanced targeting, combination regimens, and biomarker-guided patient selection. With continued innovation in mRNA technology and translational research, mRNA vaccines hold immense potential to redefine the treatment paradigm for HNC, offering durable immune protection and improved clinical outcomes.",

However, the roles of tRFs in GC are largely unknown. The diagnostic and prognostic significance of tissue tRF-27-87R8WP9N1E5 (tRF-27) was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, survival, and Cox regression analyses. Gain- and loss-of-function studies in vitro and in vivo were performed to investigate its biological effects and regulatory mechanisms. RNA immunoprecipitation, dual-luciferase reporter, and immunohistochemical assays were used to validate WNT family member 4 (WNT4) mRNA as a direct target of tRF-27. Tissue tRF-27 expression progressively decreased from healthy controls to early and advanced GC. tRF-27 showed diagnostic value for GC, with the highest performance in advanced GC (the area under ROC curve = 0.780), and retained discriminatory capacity in patients negative for conventional serum biomarkers. Low tRF-27 expression was associated with poorer overall survival, while multivariate analysis identified tRF-27 as an independent protective prognostic factor (Hazard Ratio = 0.478, P\u2009=\u20090.020). Functionally, tRF-27 suppressed GC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and cell cycle, while promoting apoptosis. Mechanistically, tRF-27 directly bound the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of WNT4 mRNA in an Argonaute 2 (Ago2) dependent manner, inhibiting WNT4/\u03b2-catenin signaling and thereby mediating tumor-suppressive effects. In vivo, tRF-27 overexpression significantly inhibited xenograft tumor growth. tRF-27 functions as a tumor-suppressive regulator of the WNT4/\u03b2-catenin pathway and represents a promising complementary biomarker with diagnostic and prognostic relevance in GC.

We conducted quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunofluorescence experiments with H9c2 cardiomyocytes to examine the effects of Cav\u03b24 overexpression on isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy; the protein abundance of the transcription factors nuclear receptor 4A2 (NR4A2) and forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), which counter agonist-induced hypertrophic growth; and the expression of miR-183-5p, which targets NR4A2 and FOXO1 mRNAs. We found that the Cav\u03b24 subunit prevented the development of H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, down-regulating miR-183-5p expression and increasing the protein abundance of NR4A2 and FOXO1. We also observed a transient decrease in Cav\u03b24 mRNA expression in rat ventricles at 6\u2009h after isoproterenol injection. These results suggest that the Cav\u03b24 subunit plays a channel-independent role in the antihypertrophic response in cardiac muscle cells.",

This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. mRNA vaccines elicit a potent Th1/Tfh1-biased response that generates high-affinity neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) with stem-cell memory properties. However, this strong type I bias may come at the cost of long-term maintenance of humoral memory. Natural infection additionally establishes tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells (CD4 TRMs) at respiratory mucosal surfaces, providing a frontline defense that current intramuscular vaccines fail to recapitulate efficiently. Crucially, this T cell immunity proves far more resilient than neutralizing antibodies against Variants of Concern, as many memory T cell epitopes from the ancestral strain are conserved across successive variants, a robustness further reinforced by pre-existing cross-reactive CD4+ T cells primed through prior seasonal coronavirus exposure or influenza infection. These observations argue for a fundamental shift in vaccine design toward mucosal delivery and conserved-epitope antigens to achieve durable, broadly cross-reactive protection.",

Thymoquinone (TQ), a bioactive component of Nigella sativa, has shown anticancer capabilities by inducing apoptosis. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the impact of TQ on the levels of pro-apoptotic (BAX, CASP3) and anti-apoptotic (BCL2) markers in colorectal cancer cells. An extensive literature search was performed in Scopus, BASE, PubMed, and Web of Science for articles published from 2004 to 2025, adhering to PRISMA guidelines. Eligible in vitro and in vivo studies provided numerical data on gene or protein expression levels for BAX, BCL2, and CASP3, along with standard deviations. Effect sizes (g) were computed using a random-effects model, and heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated. A total of ten qualifying studies were incorporated. The meta-analysis indicated that TQ significantly (p < 0.001) increased BAX mRNA (g = 3.901) and protein levels (g = 4.232), decreased BCL2 mRNA (g = -3.680) and protein levels (g = -3.328), and markedly upregulated CASP3 mRNA (g = 5.669) and protein levels (g = 6.336). Subgroup analyses revealed consistent effects across CRC cell lines (HT29, SW480, SW620, HCT-15, and HCT116). Heterogeneity varied from low to moderate, and publication bias was low or not significant. The findings demonstrate that TQ exerts pro-apoptotic effects in colorectal cancer (CRC) models through the upregulation of BAX and CASP3 and the downregulation of BCL2. This suggests its potential therapeutic relevance rather than definitive biomarker utility. Nevertheless, further in vivo studies and early-phase clinical investigations are required to clarify its translational significance and to explore its possible implications for treatment responsiveness.",

Despite this importance, how closely the inherited antibody repertoire resembles the mother's has not been examined at the clonotypic level. We combined BCR-Seq with proteomic Ig-Seq to track SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody clonotypes across maternal blood, cord blood, and breast milk from six mRNA-immunized pregnant individuals. Vaccination earlier in gestation generated more diverse peak IgG repertoires but greater contraction before delivery, yielding fewer transferred clonotypes. Vaccination later in gestation produced more restricted peak repertoires, but more clonotypes persisted to delivery and transferred to cord. Infant cord was enriched for persistent, highly somatically mutated, and intraclonally diverse IgG clonotypes, consistent with preferential transfer of affinity-matured antibodies. In contrast, breast milk IgA repertoires were largely distinct from systemic repertoires and underwent substantial remodeling despite stable antigen titers. These findings define molecular determinants of passive immunity shaped by vaccination timing relevant to optimizing maternal immunization.",

Although messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have transformed protection against viral diseases, the platform remains in its infancy against pathogenic bacteria. Here, we evaluated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of an mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine encoding the highly conserved outer membrane antigen BamA in the female mouse model of lower genital tract infection. We delivered BamA mRNA-LNPs via intramuscular (IM) or intranasal (IN) routes, with or without CpG ODN 2395, and measured antigen-specific antibody responses in serum and vaginal lavage samples. Both routes elicited robust BamA-specific antibodies that recognized diverse Ng isolates, including ceftriaxone-resistant strains. However, neither route accelerated bacterial clearance nor reduced bioburden, nor did either generate serum bactericidal activity. These findings show that BamA mRNA-LNPs are immunogenic but, as formulated, are not protective, and they pave the way for modifications to the construct, adjuvant, and route. To our knowledge, this is the first evaluation of an mRNA vaccine against Ng, establishing the platform as an amenable approach for gonococcal antigen testing.",

Although the E6 and E7 oncogenes of high-risk HPV types represent attractive therapeutic targets, current vaccine approaches have shown limited clinical efficacy. In this study, we investigated multiple strategies to enhance the therapeutic activity of an HPV16 E6/E7 mRNA vaccine. To leverage pre-existing antiviral immune memory, we engineered an immunodominant CD4+ T-cell epitope derived from herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) into a ubiquitin-tagged mRNA-UB-E6/E7 construct, generating an epitope-enhanced HPV16 therapeutic vaccine. The ubiquitin moiety was incorporated as an additional potentiation strategy to enhance antigen processing and presentation. Antitumor efficacy, antigen-specific T-cell responses, and tumor immune infiltration were assessed following vaccination alone or in combination with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor entinostat or the STING agonist ADU-S100, two immunomodulatory agents known to remodel the tumor microenvironment. Incorporation of ubiquitin and HSV-1 gD CD4+ T-cell epitope significantly enhanced HPV-specific CD8+ T-cell responses and improved antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, combination therapy with either entinostat or ADU-S100 provided additional therapeutic benefit. These findings demonstrate that incorporation of a heterologous HSV-1 gD helper epitope can augment HPV E6/E7-targeted mRNA vaccination by harnessing pre-existing HSV-1-specific immune memory and enhancing CD4+ T-cell help. Together with ubiquitin-mediated enhancement of antigen presentation and modulation of the tumor microenvironment through HDAC inhibition or STING activation, these complementary potentiation strategies may further improve therapeutic outcomes and support the development of combinatorial immunotherapeutic approaches for HPV-associated cancers.",

Little data exist regarding the impact of ABO and Rhesus (Rh[D]) type on breakthrough infections and antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination. This multicenter, population-based cohort study includes individuals \u2265\u200918\u2009years who received a booster vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) and neutralizing antibodies against wild-type (WT) virus and Omicron variant were assessed at baseline, after 4\u2009weeks and after 6 months. At 6\u2009months follow-up, self-reported ABO and Rh(D) type, time to, and severity of breakthrough infections were collected. In total, 3066 participants (mean age 49 [35-59], 62% female) were included in multivariable regression models, showing no association of anti-RBD and neutralizing antibodies against wild-type and Omicron variant with ABO or Rh(D) 4\u2009weeks after booster vaccination. Time-dependent Cox regression analysis showed significantly lower rates of breakthrough infections in patients with AB (hazard ratio [HR] 0.67 [0.50-0.90]; p\u2009=\u20090.008) compared to O, even after adjustment for relevant covariates and a trend for blood group B (HR 0.82 [0.66-1.01]; p\u2009=\u20090.06) compared to O; there were no associations between Rh(D) and breakthrough infection rates or between observed (asymptomatic to moderate) COVID-19 symptom severity and ABO or Rh(D) blood group. ABO or Rh(D) blood group was not associated with COVID-19 severity or antibody responses following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Breakthrough infections were least common in blood groups AB and B. Although our data do not support previously discussed protective effects of anti-A/B/Rh(D) agglutinins, differences in ABO group appear relevant for Omicron transmission.",

Here, we applied integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and T cell receptor (TCR) profiling to characterize immune responses in a PRRSV vaccination-challenge model spanning complete, partial, and non-protection outcomes. We identified distinct CD8+ T cell subsets that were selectively enriched in protected animals vaccinated with modified live vaccine (MLV) and marked by clonal expansion, strong cytotoxic transcriptional programs, and enhanced functional activity, which correlated with rapid control of viremia after challenge. In contrast, non-protected animals accumulated dysfunctional CD8+ T cells expressing exhaustion-associated markers such as CTLA4 despite partial cytotoxic signatures. Mechanistically, the protection-associated responses were primarily driven by viral structural proteins (SP). Replacing the SP-coding region of a heterologous strain reshaped the CD8+ T cell landscape from a mixed cytotoxic/exhausted profile toward a protective program, accompanied by improved clinical outcomes. Further, optimal CD8+ T cell activation required macrophages/monocytes-derived innate signaling, including TLR4 and TLR8 pathways, and was enhanced by CD4+ T cell help. Together, our findings define protection-associated CD8+ T cell states linked to viral control and provide insights for rational PRRSV vaccine design.",

This analysis examined the effectiveness of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac against severe COVID-19-related outcomes in children aged 3 to 4\u00a0years during the Omicron phase of the pandemic in Brazil. This nationwide population-based cohort study assessed incidence rate ratios for hospitalization due to COVID-19-associated severe acute respiratory syndrome, invasive ventilatory support, and death among children aged 3 to 4\u00a0years, according to vaccination status (unvaccinated, 1 dose, or 2 doses), during 2022-2023. The study period spanned epidemiological weeks 31-52 of 2022 and weeks 1-13 of 2023. Data on laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-related hospitalizations, clinical outcomes, and vaccination status were obtained from OpenDATASUS, and vaccination coverage was estimated using data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health COVID-19 vaccination dashboard. Among children aged 3 to 4\u00a0years completion of the primary series increased to 15% for CoronaVac and 2% for BNT162b2 during the study period, corresponding to 797,956 and 79,650 individuals receiving the second dose, respectively. A total of 963 children were hospitalized with COVID-19-associated severe acute respiratory syndrome. Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization was 79.0% (95% CI, 69.9%-85.4%) after partial vaccination and 49.2% (95% CI, 32.5%-61.9%) after completion of the primary series (p\u00a0<\u00a00.01). Effectiveness against invasive mechanical ventilation was 77.6% and 79.1%, respectively; no deaths occurred among fully vaccinated children. Direct comparisons between vaccines were not feasible because of the lower proportion of BNT162b2 recipients. COVID-19 vaccination, predominantly based on the CoronaVac vaccine, was associated with a significant reduction in severe outcomes among children aged 3-4\u00a0years, providing robust evidence to support pediatric immunization strategies and public health efforts.",

Here, we developed a capless samRNA (CLsamRNA) vaccine platform derived from a Coxsackievirus B5 replicon that uses IRES-mediated cap-independent translation. Systematic optimization of key genetic elements enhanced antigen expression from the CLsamRNA backbone. Using reporter RNAs, LNP-formulated CLsamRNA showed rapid early expression and RNA amplification, with expression kinetics distinct from VEEV-based saRNA and nucleoside-modified mRNA comparators. When encoding the hemagglutinin antigen of highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses, CLsamRNA induced potent immune responses after LNP formulation. In mouse models, CLsamRNA induced potent neutralizing antibody responses, cross-reactive activity against clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus, Th1-skewed humoral immunity, and strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses. CLsamRNA also elicited platform-specific early inflammatory and lymph-node immune gene signatures associated with antigen presentation, costimulation, and cellular immune priming. Notably, a minimal 0.01 \u03bcg dose of CLsamRNA conferred complete protection against lethal H5N8 influenza virus challenge in BALB/c mice. These findings support CLsamRNA as a distinct cap-independent RNA vaccine platform with dose-sparing protective efficacy against HPAI H5 viruses.",

Although interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a central mediator of neutrophilic inflammation in the CF airway, the upstream epithelial pathways that regulate cytokine production remain incompletely understood. Interleukin-17C (IL-17C) is an epithelial-derived IL-17 family cytokine that can promote inflammatory signaling in an autocrine/paracrine manner, but its regulation in CF-derived airway epithelial cells remains poorly defined. Here, we examined Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand-induced IL-17C regulation in primary human airway epithelial cells derived from bronchial and small airway compartments, including normal human bronchial epithelial cells, CF-derived human bronchial epithelial cells, small airway epithelial cells (SAEC), and CF-derived SAEC (D-SAEC-CF). Among the ligands tested, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)], a synthetic TLR3 ligand, consistently revealed differences in IL-17C and IL-8 induction between non-CF and CF-derived cells in both epithelial cell systems. Time-course analyses showed that poly(I:C)-induced IL-17C expression increased gradually and exhibited relatively delayed kinetics compared with the rapid interferon-\u03b2 response, resembling IL-8 induction. Pharmacological inhibition indicated that c-Jun N-terminal kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor-\u03baB, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase, were involved in poly(I:C)-induced IL-17C expression. Basal TLR3 and IL-17RE mRNA levels were elevated most clearly in D-SAEC-CF cells; however, IL-17RE knockdown did not significantly reduce poly(I:C)-induced IL-8 production in bronchial epithelial cells. Together, these findings suggest that poly(I:C)-induced IL-17C production may represent a TLR3-dependent epithelial inflammatory response in CF-derived primary airway epithelial cells.",
"42529204": "ID: 42529204\nTitle: Toll-like receptors in infectious myocarditis: pathogen-specific recognition, spatiotemporal dynamic regulation and clinical translation.\nAbstract: Infectious myocarditis is a life-threatening cardiovascular inflammatory disorder characterized by high heterogeneity in clinical onset, progression and prognosis. Large-sample clinical data have demonstrated that the in-hospital mortality of COVID-19-associated myocarditis reaches 19.4%, significantly higher than that of influenza-associated myocarditis (10.5%). Additionally, the incidence of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy-related myocarditis is 6.2%, while the mortality of sepsis-associated myocarditis is as high as 70%-90%. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the core pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity, dominate the entire pathological cascade, ranging from pathogen recognition and acute inflammatory burst to myocardial injury and chronic fibrous remodeling. Nevertheless, most current studies merely focus on the linear correlation between individual TLR activation and myocardial inflammation, failing to systematically clarify pathogen-TLR matching specificity and the spatiotemporal dynamic regulatory mechanisms of TLR signaling throughout disease progression. This review comprehensively combs the latest epidemiological profiles of infectious myocarditis, characterizes the expression patterns and signaling regulatory features of the TLR family within the cardiac immune microenvironment, analyzes pathogen-specific recognition modes mediated by common pathogens, elaborates the spatiotemporal regulatory rules of TLR signaling across acute inflammation, immune deviation and chronic fibrosis stages, and summarizes pathogen-oriented intervention strategies as well as relevant translational bottlenecks. Cumulative clinical evidence confirms that pathogen-TLR matching determines inflammatory phenotypes and severity of infectious myocarditis, and that the spatiotemporal dynamics of TLR signaling directly govern disease progression. Notably, TLR-targeted therapies must adhere to the core principles of pathogen specificity and staged precise regulation. This review provides a systematic theoretical basis for precise immunodiagnosis and individualized immunotherapy of infectious myocarditis.",

However, the mechanisms by which PRRSV subverts adaptive immunity remain incompletely understood. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of bronchial lymph nodes (BLNs) collected from piglets infected with the highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV) wild-type isolate HV or its attenuated derivative N29 to characterize immune cell composition, transcriptional programs, and intercellular communication associated with PRRSV infection. HP-PRRSV HV infection reduced the proportions of multiple T-cell subsets, including naive T cells, proliferating T cells, and central memory T cells (Tcm), while increasing the proportion of B cells in BLNs. The infection also appeared to disrupt T-cell egress, potentially resulting in the accumulation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) within BLNs. In addition, HP-PRRSV HV impaired the crosstalk between T follicular helper cells and germinal center B cells, a key interaction required for antibody maturation, thereby potentially suppressing nAb production. Notably, we identified a previously unrecognized PRRSV-associated RAG1+ CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) T-cell subset with potential roles in lipid antigen recognition. These findings suggest a multifaceted understanding of the PRRSV immune evasion mechanisms and may provide critical clues for vaccine design and antiviral strategies.",

We investigated its immunomodulatory effect as a potential bioactive feed additive by evaluating the expression of immune-related genes and oxidative status in dairy cows. Using a crossover design, six lactating Holstein cows randomized to control and treatment groups received a total mixed ration (TMR) or TMR plus 10\u2009mg 5-ALA/kg of dry matter for 2 weeks. In\u00a0vitro, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from untreated dairy cows were incubated with 5-ALA in the presence of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) mRNA expression significantly decreased in PBMC of dairy cows fed 5-ALA, and interleukin-1\u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2) tended to decrease. 5-ALA had no effect on the cluster of differentiation 3, interferon-\u03b3, and Toll-like receptors in PBMC and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity, relative superoxide dismutase activity, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the blood, milk, and ruminal fluid of dairy cows. In\u00a0vitro, TNF-\u03b1 expression decreased in PBMC treated with 5-ALA (10\u2009\u03bcg/mL) in the presence of LPS compared with LPS alone.

Host antiviral responses, particularly type I interferon (IFN) signaling, are impaired during corneal herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, partly due to viral immune evasion and metabolic reprogramming. This study investigated if topical glycolysis inhibition restores mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS)-associated innate antiviral signaling and improves HSK outcomes. In vitro and in vivo infection models were established using the HSV-1 McKrae strain. A stable hexokinase 2 (HK2)-knockdown human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) line was generated using lentivirus. Protein/mRNA levels were analyzed via western blot (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Protein interactions were confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP). Murine corneal pathology and viral proteins were assessed by slit-lamp imaging, IF, and WB. Elevated HK2 expression was detected in HSK models. HK2 knockdown or 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG)-mediated inhibition reduced HSV-1 replication (lower infected cell protein 0 [ICP0], higher interferon-stimulated gene 56 [ISG56]). Co-IP confirmed the interaction between HK2 and MAVS protein, and HK2 inhibition activated the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)/interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) pathway. Topical application of 2-DG improved murine corneal epithelial integrity, reduced viral proteins (glycoprotein D, ICP0), and showed efficacy comparable to acyclovir. Topical glycolysis inhibition enhances corneal antiviral defenses via MAVS-mediated type I IFN signaling, controlling HSV-1 and alleviating disease. It reveals a novel corneal metabolism-antiviral immunity link, highlights HK2 as a therapeutic target for HSK, and supports metabolic therapies for HSK and ocular herpes virus infections.",

Overall, 2022 participants were randomized, and 2013 received study intervention. At Day 29, mRNA-1083 elicited noninferior immune responses versus active comparators for all evaluated influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. Among high-risk participants (aged \u226565\u00a0years and 60 to <65\u00a0years with \u22651 comorbidity), noninferiority of mRNA-1083 was demonstrated for comparator-matched influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2. In the overall study population, mRNA-1083 demonstrated superiority for the comparator-matched influenza strains and for SARS-CoV-2. At Day 181, immune responses remained above baseline and were comparable to or numerically higher than those elicited by active comparators. Most solicited adverse reactions were grade 1 or 2. There were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis, and no reported serious adverse events or deaths related to study intervention. Overall, mRNA-1083 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile, eliciting noninferior and superior immune responses against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in the high-risk and overall study population, respectively.

However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive this robust cellular immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines in children remains unknown. Here, 37 immunological na\u00efve children underwent primary vaccination (age 6-10) with the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine and did not acquire natural infection before month 3; bulk RNA sequencing was performed at pre-vaccination baseline and day 1 post vaccination, and Spike-reactive T cell responses were measured at 3\u00a0months.

Among these, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 remains a major concern because of its impact on wildlife, livestock, and human health. The widespread circulation of H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, detected in hundreds of bird species and numerous mammals worldwide, highlights important changes in viral ecology and transmission, increasing its zoonotic and pandemic potential. This review summarizes current evidence on cross-reactive and cross-protective immunity to H5N1 in humans, focusing primarily on humoral immune responses. We examine the presence of pre-existing H5N1-reactive antibodies in individuals without known exposure and discuss how previous seasonal influenza infection or vaccination may contribute to their development. Particular attention is given to antibodies targeting conserved regions of hemagglutinin (HA), especially the stalk domain, as well as neuraminidase (NA), which may provide heterosubtypic protection. We also evaluate the ability of seasonal influenza vaccines and infections to induce cross-reactive responses against H5N1 and their potential role in partial protection or immune priming. Finally, we review current and emerging H5N1 vaccination strategies, including adjuvanted and mRNA-based platforms, and identify priorities for surveillance, population immunity assessment, and the development of broadly protective influenza vaccines.",

Currently, reliable non-invasive biomarkers are lacking, and existing treatments remain limited. Targeting autoimmune and inflammatory pathways offers new therapeutic potential. Triptolide (TP), a diterpenoid triepoxide compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii, exhibits potent immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proteinuric effects, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in tumors, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and kidney-related disorders. This study investigates the mechanism by which TP ameliorates LN through the hsa_circ_0001439/ELAVL1 axis to regulate TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) mRNA stability. In vitro (human renal tubular epithelial cell line) and in vivo (MRL/lpr mouse model) experiments were conducted. Renal function was assessed by measuring 24-hour urinary albumin, blood urea nitrogen, and serum creatinine levels. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-gamma, and interleukin-2, were detected by ELISA. Renal histopathological changes were observed via hematoxylin-eosin and periodic acid-Schiff staining. The cytotoxicity of TP was determined using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The expression of hsa_circ_0001439, ELAVL1, and TRAF6 mRNA was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression of TRAF6 and its downstream pathway components (phosphorylated p65/p65, phosphorylated p38/p38) was detected by Western blot. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, and intracellular reactive oxygen species levels were measured to assess oxidative damage. Immunoglobulin G and complement component 3 deposition were evaluated by immunofluorescence. The interactions among hsa_circ_0001439, ELAVL1, and TRAF6 were investigated using RNA pull-down, fluorescence in situ hybridization-immunofluorescence, RNA immunoprecipitation, and dual-luciferase reporter assays. TRAF6 mRNA stability was examined following Actinomycin D treatment. Bioinformatics analysis revealed upregulation of hsa_circ_0001439 in LN (P<0.05). TP improved renal function and histopathology in LN mice (P<0.05). Silencing hsa_circ_0001439 or ELAVL1 alleviated renal injury (P<0.05), while their overexpression reversed TP's therapeutic effects (P<0.05). Hsa_circ_0001439 bound to ELAVL1 to stabilize TRAF6 mRNA (P<0.05). In rescue experiments, TP reduced inflammation (P<0.05), but hsa_circ_0001439/ELAVL1 overexpression counteracted this effect (P<0.05). TRAF6 inhibition further mitigated oxidative damage (P<0.05), confirming TRAF6 as a key target. This study elucidates that TP alleviates LN by inhibiting TRAF6-driven inflammation via the hsa_circ_0001439/ELAVL1 axis, providing a potential therapeutic target for LN treatment.",

It aims to restore normal physiology by replacing deficient molecules such as enzymes, proteins, genes, or other molecules. Here, we discuss different modalities, including protein replacement, gene therapy, messenger RNA (mRNA) replacement, noncoding RNA (ncRNA) therapies, cell replacement, and gene editing, aimed at addressing and treating the fundamental genetic defects underlying a range of diseases. These therapies could have potentially curative and disease-modifying effects when used to directly replace deficient or dysfunctional components, addressing the inherent limitations of conventional therapies, such as off-target effects and control of disease-related symptoms. Some replacement therapies, such as protein therapy, gene therapy, and cell therapy, are already approved for clinical use, while emerging approaches-including mRNA therapy, ncRNA therapy, and gene editing-remain primarily in the preclinical or clinical trial stages. To achieve broad clinical translation of these emerging approaches, key challenges, including delivery, safety, specificity, and ethical concerns, must be addressed. This review provides an overview of the existing modalities of replacement therapies, their mechanisms of action, and future directions for improving clinical translation, efficacy, and accessibility.",

This study aimed to investigate the biological function, clinical significance, and underlying molecular mechanism of the RNA-binding protein YTHDF3 in gastric cancer (GC) progression. YTHDF3 expression was analyzed using public databases (TCGA, GEO), clinical GC specimens (IHC, RT-qPCR), and GC cell lines. Functional roles were assessed through in\u00a0vitro proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis assays following YTHDF3 knockdown or overexpression, and via an in\u00a0vivo subcutaneous tumor model. Mechanistic insights were gained through RNA sequencing, RIP-qPCR, dual-luciferase reporter assay, co-immunofluorescence, rescue experiments, and western blotting to identify downstream targets and signaling pathways. YTHDF3 was significantly upregulated in GC tissues, correlating with lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. In\u00a0vitro, YTHDF3 knockdown inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting apoptosis, whereas its overexpression had the opposite effects. In\u00a0vivo, YTHDF3 knockdown suppressed tumor growth. Mechanistically, YTHDF3 directly bound to and stabilized NEK7 mRNA. NEK7 was highly expressed in GC and crucial for YTHDF3-mediated oncogenic effects. Furthermore, YTHDF3 promoted GC progression by activating the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway via NEK7, which was validated using a pathway inhibitor (IWR-1-endo). This study identifies the YTHDF3/NEK7 axis as a key regulator of GC progression via activation of the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin pathway. YTHDF3 represents a potential prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for GC.",

Conserved epitopes from viral structural proteins (E, M, N, and S) represent promising targets less affected by emerging mutations, while Bacillus Calmette-Gu\u00e9rin (BCG) offers unique adjuvant and delivery properties. This study aimed to validate conserved SARS-CoV-2 epitopes in combination with BCG and to design multiepitope vaccine constructs in silico. Dot blot assays confirmed recognition of five synthetic peptides by sera from convalescent patients. In vitro, BCG-peptide formulations activated the MAPK pathway and induced trained immunity signatures in macrophages. In vivo, immunized mice showed modulation of IgG subclasses and increased IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IFN-\u03b3 production. Splenocytes from vaccinated animals secreted high cytokine levels upon restimulation, suggesting memory responses. In silico modeling indicated stable, antigenic, and non-allergenic multiepitope constructs with favorable immune simulations. Together, these findings highlight BCG-epitope formulations as promising next-generation vaccine candidates against SARS-CoV-2.",

Nonetheless, many next-generation vaccines display suboptimal intrinsic immunogenicity owing to restricted antigenic complexity, resulting in inadequate protective immunity when delivered without adjuvants. Aluminum-containing adjuvants, the most widely deployed clinical adjuvants, primarily potentiate humoral immunity but elicit modest cellular immune responses, thereby failing to satisfy the immunological demands of modern vaccine platforms. Moreover, standard vaccines often fail to confer robust protective immunity in immunocompromised individuals. Accordingly, the rational design and development of next-generation vaccine adjuvants are critical to expanding the clinical translation of innovative vaccines and enhancing immunogenicity in vulnerable populations. In recent years, multiple novel adjuvants have gained clinical approval; of these, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonists-core immunostimulatory components of several licensed adjuvant systems-have exhibited potent immunomodulatory activity across diverse infectious disease indications. This review offers a comprehensive synthesis of contemporary TLR4-targeted adjuvants, emphasizing their evolutionary development, molecular mechanisms of action, and clinical translational landscape. We aim to furnish mechanistic insights and translational guidance for scientists optimizing current adjuvants and discovering new TLR4-based candidates.",

Rational adjuvant selection is critical for the development of recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) subunit vaccines. In this study, we systematically evaluated the immunomodulatory properties of six adjuvants formulated with recombinant VZV gE in a mouse model. Multi-dimensional analyses, including innate and adaptive immunity, transcriptomics, and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire profiling, revealed that distinct adjuvants shape adaptive immune responses through divergent innate immune activation patterns. Traditional aluminum hydroxide and MF59 mainly induced Th2-biased humoral immunity but showed limited cellular immune activation. As TLR agonists, Poly(I:C) displayed a Th2-skewed profile with partial Th1 tendencies and exhibited oligoclonal B-cell expansion, whereas CpG 1018 potently promoted Th1 polarization and cytotoxic T-cell responses. Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations drove chemokine-dependent inflammatory recruitment and facilitated dendritic cell maturation and humoral immune programming. Notably, KA101, a liposomal adjuvant containing MPL and QS-21, exhibited unique synergistic effects by inducing early IFN-\u03b3 production and simultaneously eliciting robust cellular immunity and high-titer neutralizing antibodies. Moreover, KA101 enhanced germinal center reactions, diversified the B-cell repertoire, and supported the establishment of long-term immune memory. Collectively, these findings provide mechanistic insights into adjuvant-antigen interactions and establish a rational framework for developing next-generation herpes zoster subunit vaccines with potent cellular and humoral immunogenicity and durable immune memory.",

Lactylation, a post-translational modification, has been linked to fibrotic progression in hepatocytes. However, the role of E. multilocularis infection in hepatic lactylation remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between hepatic fibrosis and lactylation induced by E. multilocularis infection and fill this knowledge gap. The results showed that lactate concentrations in the livers and sera of AE mice were significantly elevated compared with those in the control group. The relative mRNA expression of hexokinase isoforms in the liver tissue of AE mouse models revealed significant upregulation of hexokinase-3 (HK3), a key enzyme regulating lactate production. Immunofluorescence staining revealed substantial colocalization between HK3 and TGF-\u03b21 in hepatic lesions of AE mice. Western blot analysis using a pan-lactylation antibody showed significantly elevated lactylation levels in the livers of AE mice compared with controls, with a significant increase in histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la). CUT&Tag analysis revealed differential enrichment of H3K18la at multiple fibrosis-associated genes in AE mouse liver. In vitro, AML-12 hepatocytes exposed to E. multilocularis culture supernatant showed significant upregulation of TGF-\u03b21, HK3, and histone lactylation. HK3 knockdown significantly reduced the induction of H3K18la and fibrosis-related proteins, whereas exogenous lactate supplementation significantly increased these responses despite HK3 silencing, confirming that lactate acts downstream of HK3 to drive histone lactylation and fibrogenesis. Corosolic acid, a compound that limits HK3-mediated lactate production, attenuated histone lactylation and fibrosis-related protein expression. These findings indicate that HK3-driven histone lactylation at H3K18 contributes to hepatic fibrosis in AE, and suggest that HK3 may serve as promising therapeutic targets for AE.",
"42536803": "ID: 42536803\nTitle: The Changing Landscape of Hantavirus Infections: A Narrative Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Countermeasures.\nAbstract: Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens of increasing global public health significance. Their epidemiological landscape is rapidly changing due to ecological disruption, climate variability, urbanisation, and evolving human-animal interfaces. This narrative review synthesises current knowledge on hantavirus virology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical management, and emerging countermeasures, with a focus on developments from the past 5\u00a0years. Traditionally classified into Old World viruses causing haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and New World viruses causing hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), this dichotomy has become increasingly blurred, with overlapping renal and pulmonary manifestations now recognized. Among the most consequential recent advances is the consolidated evidence for person-to-person transmission of Andes virus, documented among household contacts and during the prodromal phase, with viral shedding in respiratory secretions. Endothelial dysfunction remains the pathological hallmark of severe disease, driven by VEGF sensitisation, Src kinase and RhoA pathway activation, pericyte infection, and dysregulated inflammatory responses including IL-6 trans-signalling. Concurrently, environmental and ecological studies have linked climate change, rodent population dynamics, land-use modification, and urbanisation to increased human disease risk across multiple continents. Diagnostic strategies continue to rely on serology and molecular testing, while management remains predominantly supportive, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) improving survival in fulminant HCPS. Importantly, recent structural virology advances have enabled the development of broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies targeting conserved quaternary epitopes, as well as next-generation vaccine platforms including DNA, mRNA, and prefusion-stabilised glycoprotein candidates. Hantaviruses represent a paradigmatic One Health challenge at the intersection of environmental change, viral evolution, and global interconnectedness. Despite major progress in understanding transmission dynamics and endothelial pathogenesis, critical gaps remain regarding determinants of person-to-person spread, long-term post-infection sequelae, and the absence of licenced broadly protective vaccines or specific antiviral therapies. Future preparedness will require integrated surveillance frameworks combining ecological monitoring, genomic epidemiology, and clinical readiness within coordinated international public health strategies.",

Many monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed at the HA stem have been isolated from humans, and these mAbs have mediated broad protection in animal models. We describe here HA stem-directed mAbs isolated from rhesus macaques immunized with an \"ordinary\" H1 HA trimer. All immunized rhesus macaques developed high serum titers with broad reactivity to diverse H1N1 and H5N1 viruses, and 7 isolated mAbs strongly blocked canonical stem antibody CR6261 binding to H1. MAb DH726.1 robustly protected mice from lethal challenge with H1N1 and H5N1 viruses, and cryo-EM showed the binding footprint overlapped that of some human mAbs. These findings suggest that vaccination with the standard, trimeric HA immunogens may be sufficient to elicit stem antibodies at titers adequate to protect against zoonotic H5N1 influenza.",

While germinal centers (GCs) contribute to durable B cell memory in many contexts, GC formation is attenuated or completely abrogated during some severe infections. Whether GC-independent responses generate functional memory B cells that may contribute to protective immunity remains unclear. Using mice lacking GCs, we identified a durable class-switched GC-independent memory B cell population that was generated dominantly through a T-cell-dependent response. Vaccine-induced non-GC memory B cells demonstrated greater diversity and provided humoral protection from matched and diverse vaccine-unmatched influenza viral challenges. These results identify a unique, durable, diverse, GC-independent memory B cell population that can mediate rapid protection from severe infections by mutable pathogens.",

Vaccination remains the cornerstone of defense, and combined vaccines offer a strategic advantage by simplifying logistics, reducing costs, and improving coverage. In this set of studies, we evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a novel combined quadrivalent influenza and recombinant COVID\u201119 vaccine (developed by Anhui Zhifei Longcom Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), known as the Flu\u2011CoV2 vaccine, in Sprague\u2011Dawley rats. Three independent studies were conducted in accordance with ICH S6(R1) guidelines for Preclinical Safety Evaluation of Biotechnology\u2011Derived Pharmaceuticals: primary immunization (Study 1) and booster immunization following a prior history of either influenza (Study 2) or COVID\u201119 (Study 3) vaccination. Immunogenicity was determined by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody enzyme\u2011linked immunosorbent assay, plaque reduction neutralization tests for SARS\u2011CoV\u20112, and hemagglutination inhibition assays for influenza viruses. No severe, life\u2011threatening, or fatal adverse reactions occurred during any of the studies. Transient injection\u2011site nodules in adjuvanted groups resolved completely, and all transient post\u2011vaccination shifts in hematologic and biochemical parameters normalized by the end of the recovery period. As a primary regimen, the Flu\u2011CoV2 vaccine effectively induced strong IgG and neutralizing antibody responses against both influenza and SARS\u2011CoV\u20112. Administered as a booster, it markedly augmented specific antibody levels in pre\u2011immune models, demonstrating its potential to broadly enhance recall immune responses. These preclinical data demonstrate a favorable safety profile and potent immunogenicity, supporting the further development of the Flu\u2011CoV2 vaccine as a promising tool to address the dual threat of influenza and COVID\u201119.",

The chemokine CXCL10, an interferon-\u03b3-inducible mediator of T cell trafficking, has been implicated in immune activation and tissue injury. However, it remains unclear whether genetic variation in CXCL10 contributes to T cell dysregulation and clinical outcomes in sepsis. In a prospective cohort of septic patients (n=278), we analyzed CXCL10 rs8878 genotypes, circulating immune cell counts, cytokine concentrations, and CXCL10 protein and mRNA expression in whole blood. Associations between genotype, immune parameters, plasma proteomics and 30-day survival were assessed using group comparisons and Kaplan-Meier analyses. Correlation analyses were performed to evaluate relationships between CXCL10 concentrations, cytokines, and clinical parameters. Variants in the CXCL10 gene were associated with T cell dysregulation. Carriers of the rs8878 AA genotype exhibited higher circulating T cell counts and improved survival compared with G-allele carriers. Higher total and CD8+ T cell counts were significantly associated with improved survival. Among non-survivors, AA-genotype carriers showed increased CXCL10 mRNA expression, indicating genotype-dependent regulation of CXCL10 expression under conditions of fatal disease progression. CXCL10 concentrations on day 1 were positively correlated with multiple inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, MCP-1, IFN-\u03b3, and interferon-\u03b12, and inversely correlated with total T cell counts, supporting a link between CXCL10, systemic inflammation, and T cell depletion. No significant associations were observed between CXCL10 genotype and plasma proteomics and routine clinical parameters. The CXCL10 rs8878 genotype is associated with T cell dynamics and 30-day survival in sepsis, suggesting a genotype-dependent modulation of the adaptive immune response. While the AA genotype is linked to preserved T cell counts and improved outcomes, increased CXCL10 expression in non-survivors points to a context-dependent role in inflammation-driven immune dysregulation. These findings identify CXCL10 as a potential biomarker for risk stratification and a candidate target for immunomodulatory therapies in sepsis.",

In the present study, we found CD71, which corresponds to transferrin receptor (TfR1; encoded by Tfrc), a candidate marker capable of enriching for SSC populations from mouse testes. The immunohistochemistry detected co-localization of CD71 with the undifferentiated spermatogonia marker glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family receptor alpha 1 (GFR\u03b11) on the seminiferous basement membrane, with approximately 81% co-localization. Consistent with this finding, the expression of Tfrc was up-regulated in SSC-enriched germ cell populations relative to mouse germ cell lines (GC-1 and GC-2) and somatic cell lines from testis (TM3 and TM4). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis further showed that GFR\u03b11+ cells exhibited approximately 1.4-fold higher Tfrc mRNA expression than GFR\u03b11- cells. Similarly, CD71+ cells exhibited significantly higher expression of the undifferentiated spermatogonia markers Id4, Lhx1, Gfr\u03b11, Zbtb16, and Etv5. Functional transplantation assays further demonstrate that CD71high cells give rise to approximately 5.5-fold more colonies than freshy isolated, FACS-unsorted donor cells. Moreover, peanut agglutinin (PNA) lectin staining confirmed the normal spermatogenic differentiation within colonies derived from CD71high donor cells. Our findings collectively indicate that CD71high cells represent an SSC-enriched population with enhanced spermatogenic regenerative capacity and support the use of CD71 as a complementary marker for SSC enrichment and fertility restoration.",

Here, we investigated whether Melissa officinalis extract (MOE), a widely used phytomedicine with incompletely defined mechanisms, modulates inflammatory signaling in oral epithelial cells. MOE composition was characterized by HPLC-HRMS, and transcriptomic, RT-qPCR, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and cell-free kinase analyses were employed to define its biological effects in HSC2 and non-transformed epithelial cells. MOE was cytocompatible and selectively attenuated interferon-associated signaling rather than broadly suppressing inflammation. It markedly reduced interferon-stimulated gene expression, including MX1/2, IFIT and OAS family members, STAT1/2, CXCL10, and GBP1, while NF-\u03baB-dependent CXCL8 expression remained unaffected. Mechanistically, MOE reduced JAK2 activity in a cell-free assay and suppressed STAT1 phosphorylation-associated nuclear translocation, supporting modulation of canonical interferon signaling. Consistently, MOE reduced CXCL10 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, and these effects occurred independently of reactive oxygen species modulation. Chemical profiling identified several phenolic acids, among which caffeic acid showed activity in suppressing CXCL10 production. These findings identify MOE as a pathway-selective modulator of interferon-driven inflammatory responses in oral epithelial cells, provide mechanistic insight into its clinical use, and support further investigation of Melissa officinalis-derived preparations as topical strategies for targeted modulation of mucosal inflammation.",

Dysregulation of these processes contributes to a broad spectrum of diseases, including acute viral and bacterial infections, fungal colonization, and chronic inflammatory disorders, highlighting the urgent need for effective preventive strategies targeting the respiratory mucosa. The unprecedented global impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has further highlighted this need and catalyzed rapid advances in vaccines capable of inducing both local and systemic immunity at the respiratory portal of entry, alongside progress in inhalable antibody therapies. This review first summarizes the principal biological functions of the respiratory mucosa and the underlying mechanisms, followed by an overview of immune dysregulation associated with respiratory diseases. It then highlights recent advances in mucosal intervention strategies, with a particular focus on the development of RM vaccine platforms-including live-attenuated, inactivated, viral vector, protein subunit, and mRNA vaccines.

Declines in routine vaccination rates can lead to the increased emergence or reemergence of childhood diseases that are currently not widely circulating in the U.S. This study assessed the rates of required childhood vaccinations at 24 months from 2019 to 2024 by patient demographics and utilization. Electronic health record data from 213 community-based primary care health centers serving underserved and low-income populations in 10 states were used to calculate the routine vaccination metric over 6 years. Up-to-date rates were calculated for children with and without well-child visits. Rates were also calculated with and without the inclusion of the influenza vaccine. Up-to-date vaccination rates at 24 months increased from 2019 to 2020 and declined from 2021 to 2024. The percentage of children who were up to date with all vaccines ranged from 42% in 2020 to a low of 30% in 2024. Rates were higher when the influenza vaccine was excluded and among children who had a well-child visit. Routine childhood vaccination rates at 24 months declined during the COVID-19 public health emergency and have continued to decline since then.

Here, we evaluated the impact of N-terminal fusion length (45-180 bp) from four genes (lacZ, icd, zwf, bfp) on GFP reporter expression driven by 15 different promoter-RBS combinations in E. coli with normalized fluorescence, enzymatic activity assays and transcription analysis for a representative subset of constructs. Our results demonstrate that N-terminal fusion critically determines the reliability of regulatory-sequence characterization in target-gene-specific coding contexts, with strong gene- and length-dependent effects. Fusions as short as 45 bp failed to rescue context-sensitive cases. However, among the tested fusion lengths, fusions of 90 bp or longer achieved strong correlations (mean R2\u202f>\u202f0.75) between reporter fluorescence and target protein activity. Among the factors examined, N-terminal mRNA secondary structure showed a closer association with these fusion-length-dependent effects than transcription or translation initiation changes.

Peptide vaccines provide simplicity and stability though often elicit limited cytotoxic T-cell responses. What is more, mRNA vaccines lead to rapid, multiplexed neoantigen delivery, endogenous antigen processing and eventually improved immunogenic coverage. Dendritic cell-based vaccines have the potency to prime potent T-cells although this technology requires labor-intensive manufacturing and extensive production timelines. Integration with immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, and oncolytic viruses further enhances efficacy, suggesting that rational combinations may be more effective than single modalities. Recent advances in sequencing, computational epitope prediction, and bioinformatics pipelines have facilitated neoantigen prioritization and DC vaccine design, enabling more rapid and precise personalization. Hybrid vaccination strategies, such as ex-vivo mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells and in-vivo DC-targeted platforms, bridge the gap between manufacturing feasibility and potent immune activation. Emerging technologies, including AI-driven neoepitope prediction, receptor-targeted antigen delivery, biomaterial-based modulation, and distributed mRNA manufacturing, seem to be promising approaches to accelerate personalized vaccine development in future. From another point of view, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development, large-scale deployment, and validation of mRNA vaccine platforms for infectious diseases. Host HLA diversity, prior immune history, and viral evolution create heterogeneity in immune responses, highlighting opportunities for semi-personalized or adaptive strategies. In this review, we provide a landscape of personalized vaccines, with a focus on DC-based platforms, and explore translational lessons for viral pathogens. A conceptual framework linking cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease preparedness is proposed, emphasizing hybrid personalization approaches, rapid manufacturing, and AI-enabled epitope selection. This perspective highlights how convergence of immunology, computational biology, and advanced vaccine technologies could expand the scope of personalized vaccination, from oncology to future epidemic and pandemic scenarios as well as the current challenges.",

Although bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are crucial post-transcriptional regulators, their roles in regulating H. pylori factors that influence host cell responses remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized HPnc1470, an H. pylori sRNA of unknown function, and identified HP0499/PldA/CGAT, a lipid-modifying factor implicated in H. pylori-epithelial cell interactions, as a gene negatively regulated by HPnc1470. RNA-seq analysis revealed that hpnc1470 deletion increased HP0499 mRNA expression, and RT-qPCR confirmed this upregulation. HPnc1470 restoration reduced HP0499 mRNA expression to near wild-type levels, supporting negative regulation by HPnc1470. Furthermore, RNA-RNA interaction prediction and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) indicated that HPnc1470 binds the HP0499 5' regulatory region near the ribosome-binding site. In AGS cell infection assays, HPnc1470 loss enhanced H. pylori-induced elongation of AGS gastric epithelial cells and increased IL-8 production, whereas HP0499 deletion decreased both responses. These findings identify HPnc1470 as a negative regulator of HP0499 and suggest that sRNA-mediated regulation of HP0499 modulates gastric epithelial responses during H. pylori infection.",

The high mutation rate of IAV leads to vaccine mismatches and drug-resistant variants, underscoring the need for novel antiviral strategies. This review examines the role of lactylation in IAV-host interactions, focusing on three core questions: how IAV induces lactylation, how lactylation reshapes antiviral immunity, and how IAV exploits lactylation for immune evasion. Key findings include lactylation of viral vRNP components required for efficient replication and the host deacetylase SIRT1, which suppresses IAV replication by removing these lactyl groups.

The GEO dataset GSE183077 was used for bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs) of M1 and M0 macrophages, which was followed by Gene Ontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) enrichment analyses. The M1 macrophage model was established in RAW264.7 macrophages by stimulation with LPS and IFN-\u03b3. Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assays were used to evaluate cell viability and determine the optimal concentration of harpagide for treatment. The Griess assay was performed to measure nitric oxide(NO) levels. The mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-1\u03b2(IL-1\u03b2), and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1) were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR). JC-1, Mito-Tracker, and Mito-SOX fluorescent probes were used to assess mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial function, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels, respectively. Western blot analysis was conducted to detect the protein expression levels of PGC-1\u03b1, NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3), dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), and TNF-\u03b1. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that inflammatory responses and mitochondrial fission-related biological processes were significantly activated during M1 macrophage polarization. In vitro experiments confirmed that, compared with the control group, the model group exhibited an increased NO level in cell culture supernatant, elevated mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, impaired mitochondrial function, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and elevated mitochondrial ROS levels. Meanwhile, PGC-1\u03b1 protein expression was reduced, whereas NLRP3, DRP1, iNOS, and TNF-\u03b1 protein levels were upregulated. Following harpagide treatment, these changes were reversed in a dose-dependent manner, namely decreased NO production and mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, improved mitochondrial function, restored mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial ROS levels, significantly upregulated PGC-1\u03b1 expression, and decreased expression of NLRP3, DRP1, iNOS, and TNF-\u03b1. In conclusion, harpagide alleviates inflammatory responses probably by modulating mitochondrial fission in macrophages and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via activating PGC-1\u03b1.",

C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive control group, P. grandiflorum extract group, S. oleraceus extract group, and combination group. The pulmonary nodule model was established by intratracheal instillation of 1\u00d710~9 CFU Cutibacterium acnes for three consecutive days, followed by seven consecutive days of drug administration. Serum amyloid A(SAA) levels were measured, pathological changes in lung tissue were observed, and changes in interleukin(IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1), IL-1\u03b2, glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX), superoxide dismutase(SOD), total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC), and malondialdehyde(MDA) levels in lung tissue were evaluated. Additionally, macrophage M1/M2 polarization and activation of the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)/nuclear factor-\u03baB p65 subunit(NF-\u03baB p65) signaling pathway were analyzed. The results showed that all treatment groups ameliorated lung injury in mice with pulmonary nodules. Specifically, the combination group alleviated body weight loss, reduced SAA levels, downregulated the expression of IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2, enhanced the activities of GSH-PX, SOD, and T-AOC, decreased MDA accumulation, restored the balance of M1/M2 macrophage phenotypes, upregulated arginase-1(ARG1) levels, suppressed the mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), TLR4, MyD88, and NF-\u03baB, increased the expression of inhibitor of nuclear factor-\u03baB alpha(I\u03baB\u03b1), and downregulated the p-p65/p65 ratio. Meanwhile, compared with the single-herb groups, the combination group demonstrated significant advantages in suppressing inflammatory cytokines and oxidative damage. In conclusion, the combined preparation of P. grandiflorum and S. oleraceus can alleviate pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress injury and improve pulmonary nodules by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway and suppressing macrophage M1 polarization.",

MicroRNAs (miRs) are also involved in MDD through posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. This study investigated whether miR-20a-5p regulates IRF1 in MDD. IRF1 mRNA and miR-20a-5p expression levels were measured by qPCR in postmortem hippocampi from 14 MDD subjects and 14 controls, and in chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) mice. Their regulatory relationship was examined in HEK293 cells using miR-20a-5p overexpression and a dual-luciferase assay. Neuro2a cells treated with DMSO were used to evaluate the effects of cellular stress on Irf1 and miR-20a-5p expression. IRF1 mRNA and miR-20a-5p expression levels were significantly increased in both MDD hippocampi and CSDS mice. Luciferase assays showed that miR-20a-5p directly targeted the conserved seed sequence within the IRF1 3'-UTR and suppressed IRF1 expression. During the early phase of cellular stress, Irf1 mRNA was upregulated, whereas miR-20a-5p was downregulated, suggesting that stress initially induces Irf1 expression, followed by secondary regulation of miR-20a-5p. IRF1 mRNA expression was increased in the hippocampus of both MDD subjects and CSDS mice. Moreover, miR-20a-5p directly targeted the IRF1 3'-UTR, supporting a potential miR-20a-5p-IRF1 regulatory axis involved in inflammatory signaling in MDD. However, its functional significance in vivo remains to be determined.",
"42544042": "ID: 42544042\nTitle: miR-375 Regulates Extracellular Vesicle Secretion From Giardia duodenalis via Targeting Rab1a.\nAbstract: Giardia duodenalis (G. duodenalis) represents a prevalent zoonotic protozoan pathogen responsible for diarrheal disorders across human and animal hosts. To date, no licensed effective vaccines have been developed against giardiasis, and the emergence of drug resistance progressively impairs the efficacy of conventional clinical chemotherapy. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from G. duodenalis (GEVs) exert pivotal functions in mediating parasite immune evasion as well as the initiation of host inflammatory cascades; nevertheless, the molecular regulatory circuits underlying GEV biosynthesis and secretion remain poorly defined. Previous bioinformatic predictions implicate Rab1a in vesicular trafficking within G. duodenalis, whereas its concrete biological contribution to GEV secretion has not been experimentally validated. The present work was designed to screen microRNAs (miRNAs) targeting Rab1a and further elucidate their modulatory effects on GEVs biogenesis. GEVs were purified from G. duodenalis WB-strain trophozoites, and their identity was verified via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA, modal diameter: 164.7\u2009nm), plus Western blot detection of classic extracellular vesicle biomarker proteins. High-throughput miRNA sequencing was subsequently conducted to filter candidate miRNAs capable of interacting with the Rab1a 3' untranslated region (3'UTR), from which miR-375, miR-133, and miR-999 were shortlisted as prospective regulatory molecules. Functional verification revealed that only miR-375 robustly repressed Rab1a expression at both mRNA and protein abundances. Dual-luciferase reporter assays further authenticated the direct physical interaction between miR-375 and the Rab1a 3'UTR. Consistently, ectopic overexpression of miR-375 resulted in a prominent decline in cellular GEV secretion. In summary, our experimental data corroborate that endogenous G. duodenalis miR-375 suppresses Rab1a expression at the post-transcriptional level to constrain downstream GEV release. The newly characterized miR-375-Rab1a-GEVs regulatory axis deepens our mechanistic understanding of post-transcriptional modulation governing vesicle formation in G. duodenalis.",

We first characterized the physical barrier posed by the chorion using TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and established that its removal is prerequisite for effective delivery. A systematic optimization of electroporation parameters for dechorionated embryos identified optimal conditions (e.g., poring pulse: 25\u00a0V, 20 ms; transfer pulse: 5\u00a0V, 50 ms) that ensured high embryo survival and robust eGFP mRNA transfection. Applying this protocol, we achieved targeted gene knockout by electroporation-mediated delivery of Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) against multiple loci. Targeting the tyr locus resulted in a phenotypic albinism rate of (38.6\u2009\u00b1\u20093.30)%. Furthermore, we incorporated polyglutamic acid (PGA) to modify the RNP complexes (target tyr), which inhibited aggregation and enhanced editing efficiency to (44.45\u2009\u00b1\u20091.41)%, outperforming a commercial. electroporation system, while targeting the pigmentation-related gene slc24a5 yielded an albinism or hypopigmentation rate of (38.33\u2009\u00b1\u20092.62)%. In addition, targeting the development-associated gene ddx19b produced developmental defect phenotypes in (38.33\u2009\u00b1\u20091.88)% of embryos. The successful introduction of indels at the target site was confirmed by sequencing. Our work establishes a highly effective electroporation strategy, augmented by nanotechnology, for the delivery of mRNA and RNP complexes, enabling high-efficiency protein expression and gene editing in zebrafish embryos, with broad potential applications in aquatic biotechnology.",

Vaccination constitutes a pivotal strategy for the prevention and control of H9N2 AIVs. However, the ongoing antigenic evolution of the virus poses a persistent challenge to the protective efficacy of existing vaccines. Therefore, the development of a broadly protective H9N2 influenza vaccine capable of eliciting cross-reactive immune responses is crucial for mitigating both the disease burden and the risk of pandemics. Here, we developed a bivalent chimeric inactivated vaccine, designated cHANA, by combining two individually rescued chimeric inactivated viruses, cHANA1 and cHANA2. Each recombinant virus carries one set of Epigraph-designed HA and NA immunogens, and the two sets were computationally optimized from global H9N2 HA and NA sequence datasets to complement each other in epitope coverage across the H9N2 viral population. Compared to the WHO-recommended candidate vaccine virus (CVV), AL/39, cHANA elicited more potent cross-reactive antibody responses and T cell immunity in mice. Furthermore, it elicited effective cross-protection against lethal challenge with heterologous H9N2 virus and significantly reduced pulmonary viral loads of mice. By conferring broad protective immunity, this vaccine represents a promising universal candidate for controlling H9N2 outbreaks.",

A web-based cross-sectional survey targeted mothers with boys aged 11-16\u2009years in Japan. Participants were classified by intention into accepting (strongly/relatively agree), undecided (unknown), and refusing (strongly/relatively disagree) groups. Binary logistic regression compared the accepting versus undecided groups and accepting versus refusing groups. Among 301 mothers, 22.6% were accepting, 57.5% undecided, and 19.9% refusing. Normative beliefs exhibited the strongest association, with the highest odds ratio (OR), when comparing accepting versus undecided (OR\u2009=\u200912.63, 95% CI 6.03-26.47) and accepting versus refusing groups (OR\u2009=\u200926.72, 95% CI 9.69-73.74). This was followed by perceived importance of prevention, best-friend influence, anticipatory regret, and perceived susceptibility. Associations were generally stronger in comparisons between accepting and refusing groups than between accepting and undecided groups. The undecided group reported greater perceived logistical hassle. The refusing group was less likely to have completed children's routine childhood vaccinations before entering elementary school or eldest son's influenza vaccination and was less influenced by municipal notifications or doctors' recommendations. Tailored interventions are needed, including those enhancing subjective norms, perceived prevention value, and risk communication for undecided and refusing mothers; providing logistical support for undecided mothers; and implementing multi\u2011channel, trust\u2011building communication strategies for refusing mothers. Japan should prioritize boys' HPV vaccination through multifaceted strategies addressing these psychosocial barriers.",

This article systematically examines the advantages and limitations of various immunogenicity assessment approaches for influenza vaccines. It draws upon multidimensional evaluation frameworks covering humoral, cellular, and mucosal immunity, incorporating analytical techniques such as hemagglutination inhibition assays, microneutralization assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, mucosal secretory IgA detection, enzyme-linked immunospot assays, and flow cytometry. Furthermore, clinical challenge trials evaluations play an essential role in elucidating the relationship between immunogenicity and protective efficacy.

While defaulting to pre-booked slots may increase uptake, potential rebound effects remain unclear. We examine preferences between appointment types, their effect on vaccination intentions, and whether effects are different for individuals hesitant about this vaccination round. A mixed-methods approach was used to assess vaccination intentions for three groups (<60 with influenza vaccination indication, 60-69 and 70+ years) eligible for pre-booked appointments. In a two-phase formative evaluation study, we examined attitudes around pre-booked appointments in 15 interviews (phase 1) and experimentally tested (phase 2) perceived burden of pre-booked appointments vs self-scheduled appointments and their effect on vaccination intentions in a representative online panel (n\u00a0=\u00a01.886) and those who experience hesitancy about this vaccination. Interviews (phase 1) showed that pre-booked appointments are seen as presumptuous or inconvenient by some, but also as a useful aid in support of vaccination uptake, sometimes by the same people. Participants in the experiment (phase 2) indicated to perceive self-scheduling as less burdensome (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.23) but this perception did not translate to differences in vaccination intentions (Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a01.11) Similar results were observed in the hesitant subgroup (Coefficient\u00a0=\u00a0-0.25; Adjusted OR\u00a0=\u00a00.88).

As pre-booked appointments evoked negative and positive sentiments and self-scheduling was found easier and more pleasant, we conservatively recommend its implementation for older adults who received their COVID-19 vaccination the previous year.",
"42546698": "ID: 42546698\nTitle: Capsid inclusion in a CHIKV mRNA vaccine impairs adaptive immune responses.\nAbstract: Two mRNA vaccines (V1 and V2) from our previous study, encoding different CHIKV structural proteins, exhibit distinct immune effects and protective efficacy. However, the immune mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear. In this study, we use an integrated multi-omics approach (single-cell RNA sequencing, immune repertoire sequencing, and Olink cytokine profiling) to elucidate the differential immune cell activation states induced by the two vaccines and the potential structural basis of the antigens that may account for these differences. We find that V2 induces sustained B cell activation, predominantly IgG-type memory antibodies, and a robust recall response following viral challenge. By contrast, V1 elicits only transient B cell activation and relatively weak T cell responses. These findings delineate a mechanistic pathway linking mRNA antigen structure to immune activation, functional differentiation, immunological memory, and protective efficacy. This work enhances our understanding of the immunological mechanisms underlying CHIKV mRNA vaccination and offers insights for rational vaccine antigen design.",

However, the molecular mechanisms linking CRD to cardiac injury remain incompletely understood. In this study, a chronic light-induced CRD mouse model and an in vitro model were established using norepinephrine (NE)-treated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) to investigate the progression of CRD-induced cardiac remodeling and the underlying mechanisms. CRD disrupted feeding rhythms, reduced cardiac Bmal1 and Clock mRNA expression, and altered body weight gain. Echocardiographic analysis revealed a progressive pattern of cardiac dysfunction characterized by early diastolic impairment, transient compensation, and subsequent pathological remodeling with systolic dysfunction. CRD was associated with sustained myocardial NE elevation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) accumulation, and activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway. Cardiac-specific STING knockdown significantly improved cardiac function and attenuated inflammation and hypertrophic remodeling in CRD mice. Consistently, NE-treated NRCMs exhibited mitochondrial dysfunction, cytosolic mtDNA accumulation, and activation of cGAS-STING signaling. Reducing mtDNA availability or pharmacologically inhibiting cGAS-STING signaling significantly attenuated NE-induced inflammatory and hypertrophic responses in vitro. These results indicate that chronic light-induced CRD promotes cardiac remodeling and dysfunction by inducing mitochondrial injury, activating mtDNA-dependent cGAS-STING signaling, and eliciting subsequent inflammatory responses. Targeting the mtDNA-cGAS-STING pathway may therefore represent a promising therapeutic strategy for CRD-associated cardiac injury.",

"42546945": "ID: 42546945\nTitle: Gene-activated porous scaffolds integrating SOX9 mRNA lipid nanoparticles enable uniformly distributed ectopic chondrogenesis in subcutaneous model.\nAbstract: The clinical translation of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies for cartilage repair is limited by inefficient lineage specification and the frequent formation of mechanically inferior fibrocartilage. Here, we present a gene-activated scaffold strategy that couples transient mRNA delivery with a structurally defined biomaterial to program ectopic chondrogenesis. Lipid nanoparticle-mediated delivery of SOX9 mRNA within a microfluidically engineered porous scaffold induces a transcriptional response in MSCs, initiating a chondrogenic program without the need for sustained growth factor stimulation. In three-dimensional spheroid and scaffold models, SOX9 mRNA drives robust upregulation of cartilage-specific genes, including ACAN and COL2A1, while limiting fibrocartilage- and hypertrophy-associated markers. Transcriptomic analysis reveals that this response is characterized by coordinated activation of extracellular matrix organization and regulatory signaling pathways, consistent with the establishment of a self-reinforcing differentiation trajectory. Importantly, this transcriptional program is preserved within the scaffold microenvironment, enabling efficient ectopic lineage specification. Following subcutaneous implantation, MSC-laden scaffolds exhibit progressive extracellular matrix deposition, sustained expression of chondrogenic markers, and the formation of lacunae-like structures over time, indicative of tissue maturation. While this ectopic model does not recapitulate the native joint environment, the persistence of cartilage-like features supports the durability of the initial transcriptional programming. Together, these findings demonstrate that a transient mRNA-encoded transcriptional cue, when combined with a permissive three-dimensional scaffold, is sufficient to initiate and sustain chondrogenesis across biological scales. This work establishes a framework for mRNA-enabled biomaterials to direct cell fate and provides a foundation for the development of single-stage strategies for cartilage regeneration.",

Thirty goats, in their first lactation period, were allocated into 2 experimental groups: artificial rearing (AR) and mixed rearing (MR). In the AR group, kids were separated from their mothers immediately after birth, whereas in the MR group, the goats suckled their kids until weaning (49 \u00b1 3 d postpartum) while all goats were mechanically milked twice daily throughout the milking period. Commercial milk yield and milk fat, protein, lactose and total solid contents were recorded and milk fatty acid (FA) profile was analyzed. On the 42nd day postpartum, mammary epithelial biopsies were taken from 6 goats per experimental group for transcriptomic analysis by 3'mRNA sequencing. The results showed that while commercial milk yield before weaning was higher (P <0.05) in the AR (116.58L) compared with the MR group (73.16L), total commercial milk yield for the whole lactation period did not differ significantly between AR (351.3L) and MR groups (312.2L). Milk contents did not differ between groups (P >0.05) but total protein, lactose, solid nonfat yields were higher (P <0.05) in the AR group. Analysis of the FA profile revealed lower saturated, higher unsaturated and monosaturated FA contents in the MR group (P <0.05), while no differences were observed in the polyunsaturated FA content. The transcriptomic analysis revealed 9 differentially expressed (DE) genes (RBM8A, Clusterin, PPDPF, LOC108635834, BLMH, PINK1, PIM1, OSBPL7, and SMU1) and 12 genes showing a trend for DE. The genes which were differentially regulated in response to kid suckling are involved in developmental processes, RNA metabolism, nutrient and lipid transport and tissue regeneration. In conclusion, this study showed that kid suckling in Damascus goats does not adversely affect commercial milk production or milk composition, while it yields commercial milk with a nutritionally more favorable fatty acid profile. Furthermore, this is the first transcriptomic study addressing concurrent suckling and machine milking effects in mammary physiology in ruminants.",

This study employed integrated bioinformatics and experimental approaches to investigate KDM1B's function in lung cancer. Pan-cancer analysis using databases such as TIMER revealed notably elevated KDM1B mRNA expression in LUAD datasets, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic biomarker. A strong association was also found between increased KDM1B levels and immune cell infiltration in LUAD datasets. Protein interaction networks constructed using STRING and Cytoscape revealed close associations between KDM1B and key regulatory genes in NSCLC. KEGG enrichment analysis linked KDM1B to the mTOR signaling, which is critical for cell proliferation and survival. RT-PCR and western blotting for experimental validation showed KDM1B expression was significantly increased in A549 and NCI-H460 lung cancer cells. The deletion of KDM1B inhibits cell growth, induces G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, and promotes apoptosis in A54 cells. Moreover, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited by the KDM1B inhibitor, tranylcypromine, and induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, increased apoptosis, ROS, and glycolytic activity in A549 cells.

CD4+ T-cell epitope peptides that are generated by non-ATP-dependent antigen-processing proteases bind with modest specificity to MHC class II molecules in the endo-lysosome. Studies document the influence of antigen-presenting cell type, manner of endocytosis, and antigen conformation on the strength of CD4+ T-cell response. Nevertheless, few studies report changes in epitope dominance due to circumstances of antigen exposure, which could shape proteolytic antigen processing in the class-II pathway because conformational domains limit proteolysis or MHCII binding. Processing of SARS-CoV-2 spike was modeled using limited proteolysis of soluble spike trimer, and the effect of spike conformation on CD4+ T-cell epitope dominance was analyzed using IL-2 Elispots responding to two nine-peptide pools from conformationally stable and unstable regions of spike. Protease-sensitive sites coincided with domain boundaries and other conformationally unstable regions, confirming that structure limits proteolysis. The ratio of CD4+ T-cell response to stable and unstable peptide pools in two non-hospitalized human subjects cohorts distinguished whether exposure was by infection or vaccination. Circumstances of exposure to spike, e.g., spike mRNA vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection, could influence populations of antigen presenting cells and their levels of activation, resulting in different patterns of spike fragmentation, peptide loading, and T-cell response. Circumstances of exposure also affect spike conformational changes that contribute to distinct dominance patterns. Thus, epitope dominance patterns potentially indicate exposure history, immune imprinting, and potentially the protectiveness of the CD4+ T-cell response.",

In mice, we evaluated antibody persistence, B-cell differentiation, splenic cellular immunity, pulmonary CD11b+ myeloid phenotypes, systemic tolerability, protection after lethal challenge and draining lymph-node proteomic profiles. TS-Pm formed a stable oil-in-water submicron emulsion of approximately 300 nm with low polydispersity, negative surface charge and preserved morphology after 6 months at 4\u00a0\u00b0C. In RAW264.7 macrophages, TS-Pm increased antigen uptake, pro-inflammatory cytokine production and CD80, CD86 and MHC-II expression. Compared with alum-adjuvanted vaccine, TS-Pm maintained higher Pm-specific IgG responses, increased both IgG1 and IgG2a, and promoted plasmablast, plasma cell and germinal-center-associated B-cell responses. TS-Pm also enhanced antigen-responsive splenic proliferation, cytokine-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets, and activation-associated phenotypes in pulmonary CD11b+ myeloid cells. After lethal challenge, TS-Pm improved survival to 90%, compared with 60% for Alum-Pm, and reduced pulmonary bacterial burden and lung pathology without evidence of aggravated systemic injury. Draining lymph-node proteomics showed changes associated with antigen processing and presentation, NF-\u03baB-related signaling and immune-cell trafficking. Tea saponin-soybean oil submicron emulsion improved the durability, breadth and protective efficacy of immune responses induced by an inactivated P. multocida vaccine. These findings identify TS-Pm as a practical plant-derived adjuvant formulation for inactivated bacterial vaccines requiring sustained humoral and cellular immunity.",

In this study, the adjuvants AlOH, AlOH+CpG and BFA03 were used to compare the protective effect of HRSV prefusion protein (Pre-F) in BALB/c mice. We divided BALB/c mice into three experimental groups (Pre-F+AlOH+CpG, Pre-F+AlOH, and Pre-F+BFA03) and three adjuvant control groups (AlOH+CpG, AlOH, and BFA03). After two intramuscular immunizations, we measured serum neutralizing antibody titers and quantified the numbers of IFN-\u03b3- and IL-4-secreting lymphocytes. After viral challenge, we monitored body weight changes, determined lung viral loads (Ct values), and scored lung pathological damage. The mice in the experimental groups exhibited high titres of neutralizing antibodies and increased numbers of IFN-\u03b3- and IL-4-secreting lymphocytes. The mice began to regain weight on the third day after challenge, but the mice in the adjuvant groups continued to lose weight. The mice immunized with Pre-F+BFA03 elicited the highest neutralizing antibody titre (1716), the lowest viral load in the lung, and milder pathological damage. The mice immunized with Pre-F+AlOH had the most severe lung pathological injury (score: 2.83) and the highest viral load in the lung (Ct value: 32.2). Compared with the BFA03 adjuvant, the AlOH adjuvant induced a Th2-biased humoral immune response in mice. The Pre-F+AlOH+CpG group had the least pathological damage in the lung (score 2.16), and the ability to induce neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune responses was comparable with that of the BFA03 adjuvant. These findings indicate that Pre-F protein combined with AlOH+CpG or BFA03 adjuvant provided similar protection in mice and both were superior to the AlOH adjuvant, providing a reference for adjuvant selection and formulation strategies in HRSV Pre-F protein vaccine development.",

We investigated the mechanism of action of a novel intranasal vaccine using the human respiratory commensal Haemophilus haemolyticus (Hh), previously shown to protect against nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) otitis media and accelerate clearance of influenza A virus (IAV). Mucosal and systemic cellular immune responses were assessed 2-144 hours after intranasal Hh treatment in mice, compared with placebo or the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR)2-6 agonist Pam2CSK4 using spectral flow cytometry. The impact of treatment on subsequent IAV and NTHi challenge was also evaluated. Hh induced a distinct, tissue-specific immune signature with rapid recruitment of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes to the lungs, peaking at 6 hours, earlier than Pam2CSK4. Hh also generated higher proportions of nasal CD103+CD4+ T cells within 48 hours, which further expanded following sequential IAV and NTHi infection. These findings demonstrate that Hh primes mucosal immune responses to promote heterologous protection.",

However, the reliability of current evidence is moderated by varying degrees of primary study overlap across existing reviews. Five electronic databases-PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Scopus-were systematically searched up to August 2024. Study eligibility and quality were assessed using the ROBIS tool. To ensure the integrity of the findings and address potential primary study overlap, the Corrected Covered Area (CCA) formula was applied. Eleven systematic reviews and meta-analyses were evaluated. Maternal influenza vaccination may reduce the risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza (LCI) in both mothers and infants; however, no clear effect was observed on influenza-like illness (ILI). Vaccination is generally associated with a reduced risk of fetal mortality and no consistent evidence suggests a significant increase in congenital anomalies or spontaneous abortion. Maternal influenza vaccination may modestly reduce preterm birth risk, shows no clear effect on small for gestational age, and is associated with reduced low birth weight (LBW). The studies on influenza vaccination in pregnant women showed high overlap for LCI (0.66), infant LCI (0.50), and varying overlap for stillbirth (0.38), congenital anomalies (0.28), spontaneous abortion (0.23), premature birth (0.13), SGA (0.27), and LBW (0.14). Influenza vaccination during pregnancy effectively reduces LCI in mothers and infants without increasing adverse neonatal outcomes, though its impact on ILI remains inconsistent. Due to high study overlap and variable quality, further large-scale research is required to confirm effects on preterm birth and congenital anomalies.",

Astrocytes secrete soluble inflammatory mediators. Prolonged activation of astrocytes is associated with accelerated aging in the central nervous system. MicroRNAs are increasingly shown to be critical gene regulators during inflammation and gliosis. In this study, we investigated the microRNA changes affected by anandamide (AEA), a dominant endocannabinoid in normal human astrocytes, following exposure to the HIV-1 Tat (Trans-activator of transcription) protein. We performed global human microRNA profiling in Tat-activated astrocytes on exposure to AEA. To delineate the mechanism of action, we utilized the bioinformatic tools miRWalk, KEGG, and Cytoscape to assess the global microarray data for significantly impacted miRNAs and their gene targets at the mRNA level. Tat-induced activation significantly upregulated 122 miRNAs (P < 0.05) in astrocytes. Conversely, the addition of AEA in activated astrocytes significantly downregulated the expression of 57 miRNAs. Out of 122 miRNAs upregulated by Tat treatment, 37 miRNAs that were common to Tat and Tat+AEA cells showed reversed expression, suggesting these might be the critical miRNAs with a key role in the AEA-induced mitigation of neuroinflammation. Reversed expression of a selected group of miRNAs identifies antagonistic pathways that promote an anti-inflammatory environment. Pathway analysis of these 37 key miRNAs showed gene targets that regulate inflammation and senescence.",

Preclinical evidence demonstrates that phytochemicals in the JI017 herbal formulation (2:1:1, Angelica gigas: processed Aconitum carmichaeli: Zingiber officinale) can reinstate erlotinib sensitivity in T790M-positive NSCLC, and relevant molecular mechanisms have been examined.MethodsAnti-proliferative activities were evaluated in A549 (EGFR-WT), HCC827 (EGFR \u039419), and H1975 (EGFR L858R/T790M) cells utilizing MTT assays, colony formation, and Annexin V/7-AAD flow cytometry. Mechanistic analyses included immunoblotting for p-EGFR (Tyr1068/1173), p-JAK2, p-STAT3 (Tyr705), PARP, Bcl-2, survivin, and AXL, complemented by RT-qPCR for BIRC5 and AXL transcripts. Drug interaction effects were determined using the Chou-Talalay combination index (CompuSyn). Anti-tumor efficacy was assessed in H1975 xenografts treated for 14 days with vehicle, JI017, erlotinib, or combination therapy; tumors underwent H&E staining and IHC for p-STAT3, survivin, and Ki-67.ResultsJI017 inhibited proliferation in all NSCLC cell lines tested, showing greatest effectiveness in H1975, where it triggered PARP cleavage and suppression of Bcl-2 and survivin expression. In H1975, co-treatment with JI017 and erlotinib led to synergistic growth inhibition, eradicated colony growth, and significantly elevated apoptotic cell populations compared to single treatments. While erlotinib alone reduced p-EGFR and p-JAK2, it left p-STAT3 largely unaltered, reflecting persistent-STAT3 activity. The combination regimen abrogated p-STAT3, further lowered p-EGFR and p-JAK2 levels, diminished BIRC5 mRNA, and decreased both AXL protein and transcript levels. In vivo, the drug combination achieved sustained tumor stasis relative to controls or monotherapy; combination group tumors displayed widespread necrosis and substantial decreases in p-STAT3, survivin, and Ki-67.DiscussionThese data support the suppression of STAT3-survivin as the primary mechanism by which JI017 sensitizes EGFR-T790M models to erlotinib. The consistent down-regulation of AXL indicates the inhibition of an AXL-mediated bypass that may maintain STAT3 signaling during EGFR blockade, although causality has yet to be confirmed. The marked in-vivo tumor inhibition without observable toxicity underscores the translational promise as a low-toxicity therapeutic adjunct.ConclusionsJI017 restores erlotinib sensitivity in EGFR-T790M NSCLC by inhibiting STAT3-survivin signaling and possibly reducing AXL-mediated resistance, resulting in durable antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo. Additional preclinical studies and early-phase clinical assessment of JI017 in combination with erlotinib are justified.",

Traditional methods have serious limitations such as diagnostic delays, antimicrobial resistance, and non-targeted therapy. Theranostics offers a transformative precision medicine paradigm for pulmonary infections. This review looks closely at how biotechnology and nanotechnology synergistically advance theranostic strategies for infectious lung diseases. We explore biotechnological tools including CRISPR-Cas systems, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for detecting specific pathogens and intervening directly. We also discuss nanotechnological platforms such as nanosensors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and various nanocarriers (lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, metallic nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and biomimetic systems) for drug, gene, and vaccine delivery with better targeting, controlled release, and imaging capabilities. Integrated case studies across major diseases, including COVID-19, influenza, TB, pneumonia, COPD, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, demonstrate effective theranostic applications. We also address associated challenges like safety, manufacturing, regulatory hurdles, and economic feasibility. The combination of biotechnology and nanotechnology represents a paradigm shift toward personalized pulmonary medicine. Future success needs to develop smart, multi-stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms, integrating artificial intelligence for predictive modeling and treatment optimization, and establishing closed-loop theranostic systems that connect real-time diagnostics with adaptive therapies. Key priorities include standardized preclinical models, clear regulations for combination products, and health economic analyses demonstrating cost-effectiveness. Interdisciplinary collaboration among material scientists, molecular biologists, clinicians, and regulatory specialists will be essential to translate these promising platforms from bench to bedside.",

A previous trial found mRNA-1010 demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared to enhanced high-dose influenza vaccination. As no direct evidence exists comparing mRNA-1010 efficacy to currently available enhanced influenza vaccines (EVs), we aimed to indirectly compare the effectiveness of mRNA-1010 and licensed EVs against medically attended influenza infection among adults \u226565\u2009years in the US. We conducted an anchored indirect treatment comparison (ITC) using the Bucher method to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of mRNA-1010 vs EV, with standard-dose egg-based influenza vaccine as the anchor, using individual patient-level data from adults \u226565\u2009years from a real-world Optum claims-based analysis and the pivotal mRNA-1010-P304 clinical trial. Target trial emulation and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were implemented to address potential bias due to cross-population differences. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using alternative outcome definition, alternative weighting approaches and US trial sites only. Assessments of post-IPW supported a comparable common anchor for the ITC. Among adults \u226565\u2009years, the indirect rVE of mRNA-1010 vs. enhanced vaccines against medically attended influenza was 12.82% (95% CI: -36.91%, 44.49%). Sensitivity analyses also supported these findings. mRNA-1010, a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, was shown to be comparable to currently licensed EVs among older adults \u226565\u2009years against medically attended influenza outcomes. Consistency of findings across sensitivity analyses support the robustness of these results. Newer influenza vaccine modalities, including mRNA-based vaccines provide an additional comparable option to existing EVs to help further reduce severe influenza disease burden among older adults \u226565\u2009years for whom enhanced vaccines are recommended.",

Despite lead's oxidative properties, studies on the transgenerational effects of paternal Pb exposure remain inadequate. This study aimed to evaluate these effects on oxidative stress and the expression of specific genes using the D. melanogaster model. Male fruit flies were fed a normal diet supplemented with lead acetate as the Pb source for 20 consecutive days. The Pb-exposed males were mated with unexposed females, producing F1 offspring. F1 flies were fed a normal diet, and then bred to produce F2; F3 was produced from F2. All F1-F3 generations were kept on a normal diet, with no Pb exposure. Antioxidant parameters, including vitamins A, C, and E; reduced glutathione (GSH); catalase; superoxide dismutase (SOD); malondialdehyde (MDA); and the expression of CAT and SOD1 mRNA, were evaluated. There was a significant (p\u2009<\u20090.05) decrease in antioxidant vitamin levels, GSH content, and catalase and SOD activities across F1-F3 due to exposure to the grandparent (F0). Similarly, a significant (p\u2009<\u20090.05) elevation in MDA levels was observed across the F1-F3 generations due to exposure of the F0 generation. Significant down-regulation of the antioxidant genes CAT and SOD1 was also detected. The findings indicate persistent transgenerational alterations in oxidative stress biomarkers and antioxidant gene expression resulting from paternal Pb exposure. This underscores the importance of studying multiple generations to assess the health and environmental risks posed by pollutants.",

Signal peptides, which direct protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), have the potential to significantly enhance protein expression and immunogenicity, highlighting their value as engineering tools for mRNA vaccine design. This study adopts the SARS-CoV-2 RBD as a model antigen to screen a panel of signal peptides derived from common secretory proteins. The signal peptides from C3, IL-12, and IL-20 are identified as candidates capable of significantly promoting antigen expression and secretion. Fluorescence confocal microscopy reveals that these signal peptides enhance the targeting of mRNA to the ER at the subcellular level. In vivo experiments demonstrate that mRNA vaccines incorporating these engineered signal peptides induce stronger humoral and cellular immune responses. This study confirms that signal peptide replacement can enhance antigen expression, offering a potential strategy for improving the efficacy of mRNA vaccines.",

This study evaluated the association between short message service (SMS)-based informational and reminder messages and influenza vaccination uptake among adults aged 65 y and older. In this single-center prospective study, an SMS reminder was sent at the beginning of the 2024-2025 influenza season to 1690 individuals aged\u2009\u226565 y who had attended a family medicine outpatient clinic during the previous season. Demographic characteristics and prior-season influenza vaccination status were obtained from electronic medical records. At the end of the season, participants were contacted by telephone, and 338 individuals who completed follow-up were included in the final analysis. Influenza vaccination uptake increased from 16.9% in the 2023-2024 season to 31.4% in the 2024-2025 season, corresponding to an absolute increase of 14.5% points (p\u2009<\u2009.001). Among individuals vaccinated in the previous season, 52.6% were vaccinated again, while 27.0% of those unvaccinated in the previous season received the vaccine in the current season. In age-stratified analyses, the increase was significant in the young-old group (65-74 y) but not in the older age groups. In binary logistic regression analysis, prior-season influenza vaccination was the only factor significantly associated with current-season vaccination (OR,2.960; 95% CI,1.650-5.309; p\u2009<\u2009.001). Influenza vaccination uptake was significantly higher during the season in which SMS reminders were sent, suggesting that text messaging may support vaccination coverage among older adults, although additional age-tailored strategies may be needed for older subgroups.",

In this study, a series of 2-aminoquinoline derivatives were synthesized via a trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) -catalyzed annulation strategy. Evaluation of their anti-influenza virus activity revealed that derivative 3g exhibited potent antiviral efficacy, low cytotoxicity, and a high selectivity index(SI), making it the most promising candidate in this series. In vitro investigations revealed that 3g primarily acted during the early-to-mid stages of viral replication, significantly suppressing the transcription and translation of viral nucleoprotein (NP) and matrix protein 2 (M2), thereby effectively blocking viral replication and protein synthesis. Furthermore, 3g inhibited virus-induced apoptosis, reduced excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) triggered by viral infection, and markedly attenuated cytokine storm responses by suppressing the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)/Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3)-mediated signaling pathways. In vivo experiments confirmed that 3g significantly reduced viral loads in the lungs of infected mice, alleviated pulmonary histopathological damage, and downregulated inflammatory factor levels, while exhibiting good biosafety. Collectively, these results position derivative 3g as a promising compound for the development of novel anti-influenza therapies.",

Although dysregulated non-coding RNAs have been implicated in oral carcinogenesis, the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)-mediated regulatory mechanisms underlying OSF-to-OSCC progression remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify candidate regulatory molecules and construct a putative lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network associated with malignant transformation. Publicly available microarray datasets (GSE117973 and GSE125866) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes between OSF and OSCC. Differentially expressed transcripts were classified into mRNAs and lncRNAs based on public transcript annotations. Highly correlated lncRNA-mRNA pairs were identified using Pearson correlation analysis and integrated with multiMiR-supported miRNA-mRNA interactions obtained from public databases to construct a putative ceRNA regulatory network. Functional characterization focused on apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and immune checkpoint-related pathways. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate diagnostic performance, and selected biomarkers were externally validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) OSCC cohort. Integrated transcriptomic analysis identified several dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs associated with OSF-to-OSCC progression. Network analysis highlighted TBC1D3B, RREB1, TEAD3, SREBF1, TMEM41B, FOXK2, and KIAA1958 as prominent hub genes within the putative regulatory network. Functional analyses demonstrated significant associations with apoptosis-, EMT-, and immune checkpoint-related genes, suggesting potential involvement in multiple biological processes contributing to malignant transformation. Several hub genes exhibited strong diagnostic performance, with ROC analysis yielding AUC values ranging from 0.891 to 1.000, indicating excellent discrimination between OSF and OSCC samples. External validation using TCGA further supported the relevance of the identified biomarkers in OSCC. This study provides a comprehensive transcriptomic framework describing putative lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory interactions associated with OSF progression to OSCC. The identified hub genes and regulatory networks represent candidate biomarkers for early detection and provide a foundation for future mechanistic and experimental validation. As the proposed ceRNA interactions are computationally inferred, further biological validation is required before clinical application.",

This study aimed to systematically map and analyze the evolution of scientific production at the intersection of vaccination, health literacy, education, and communication in South America between 2015 and 2025, identifying temporal shifts, thematic structures, geographic asymmetries, and collaboration patterns including SARS-CoV-2 pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases. A systematic mapping analysis with an integrated scientometric approach was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published between January 2015 and November 2025. After duplicate removal, 476 records were screened by two independent reviewers, and 80 studies were included for thematic and network analysis using VOSviewer. Scientific production expanded substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic and showed marked shifts in the prominence and co-occurrence of vaccination-related terms. Before 2020, research primarily focused on vaccination coverage, influenza immunization, and educational interventions. During the pandemic, the literature expanded and incorporated a broader range of terms related to COVID-19, fear, information and vaccine hesitancy.

While mRNA-1273 (Spikevax, Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccines are widely used in this population, comparative data on their immunogenicity, particularly after bivalent boosters, remain limited. We conducted a longitudinal immunologic evaluation of U.S. NHRs who received either the mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2 bivalent vaccine. Serum samples were collected 10-30 d post-vaccination. Anti-spike IgG levels were measured using a Luminex bead-based assay, and neutralizing titers were assessed via pseudovirus neutralization. Comparative analyses of the titer distributions were performed using two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Both vaccine groups demonstrated strong humoral responses to the ancestral Wuhan strain and Omicron BA.4/5 subvariants. Spike-binding antibody levels and neutralization titers were comparable between the mRNA -1273 and BNT162b2 vaccine formulations. Conclusions: Both mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccines elicit similarly robust humoral immunity in NHRs, supporting their interchangeable use in booster strategies. Our findings underscore the importance of timely booster administration over exact product selection in protecting this high-risk, immunosenescent population.",

Zearalenone (ZEA), a widespread mycotoxin, is frequently detected in human populations through contaminated food and water. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which environmentally relevant concentrations of ZEA disrupt the blood-testis barrier (BTB) and impair sperm quality. We found that exposure to ZEA disrupted BTB integrity and reduced sperm quality in mice. Mechanistically, ZEA activated the inositol-requiring enzyme 1\u03b1 (IRE1\u03b1), leading to regulated IRE1\u03b1-dependent decay (RIDD) of GA binding protein transcription factor \u03b1 (Gabpa) mRNA. GABPA binds directly to and transcriptionally activates the promoters of genes encoding the tight junction proteins ZO1 and Occludin. This binding was attenuated by ZEA treatment. GABPA overexpression rescued the ZEA-induced downregulation of ZO1 and Occludin and restored barrier function, whereas GABPA knockdown exacerbated these defects. Both Ern1 (encoding IRE1\u03b1) knockdown and pharmacological inhibition of IRE1\u03b1 RNase activity with 4\u03bc8C rescued GABPA expression, restored BTB function, and ameliorated ZEA-induced sperm defects. Our findings unveil a novel IRE1\u03b1-GABPA signaling axis as a central mechanism in ZEA-mediated male reproductive toxicity, highlighting IRE1\u03b1 and GABPA as potential therapeutic targets for intervention against environmental pollutant-induced infertility.",

This review provides an overview of recent advances in the development of computational modelling approaches used to shed light on how host cell chromatin 3D structure is altered following viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2 and avian influenza IAV-H5N1. Given the flexibility of this approach, such models can be adapted to a wide range of pathogens, making them valuable methods for investigating the specificity of distinct infection mechanisms.

Esculin and esculetin, the main coumarins of Cortex Fraxini, have been reported to exhibit anti-tumor activities in various cancer cell lines in preclinical studies. This study systematically elucidated the synergistic anti-CRC mechanisms of esculin and esculetin by integrating network pharmacology, bioinformatics, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and in vitro validation. Network pharmacology predicted 23 overlapping targets, with 10 core proteins significantly enriched in the PI3K-Akt and JAK2-STAT3 pathways, further supported by bioinformatics analysis. Molecular docking and 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the esculin-esculetin complex exhibited stronger binding affinity and stable interaction with EGFR compared with each monomer. In vitro, the natural 5:1 combination synergistically inhibited HCT116 and HT29 cell proliferation, suppressed colony formation, migration, and invasion, downregulated the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt, JAK2 and STAT3, reduced EGFR, TOP1 and CDK2 mRNA, decreased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and increased cleaved caspase-3 levels. Quantitative validation by EdU, TUNEL, and flow cytometry confirmed concentration-dependent inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis. These findings demonstrate that esculin and esculetin co-target EGFR and simultaneously block downstream PI3K-Akt and JAK2-STAT3 dual pathways, providing a multi-component, multi-target, multi-pathway synergistic model for C. fraxini-based combination therapy against CRC.",
"42551810": "ID: 42551810\nTitle: The ELAVL gene family in large yellow croaker: LcELAVL1a is an immune-active member with direct antibacterial and cell-protective functions.\nAbstract: The embryonic lethal abnormal vision-like (ELAVL) gene family encodes a group of conserved RNA-binding proteins involved in post-transcriptional regulation and immune function. In this study, five ELAVL family members (Lcelavl1a, Lcelavl1b, Lcelavl2, Lcelavl3, and Lcelavl4) were identified and characterized in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). The five members exhibited a progressive motif distribution pattern and typical RNA recognition motif (RRM)-fold architectures, and phylogenetic analysis confirmed their orthologous relationships with ELAVL proteins in other vertebrates, indicating that the ELAVL family is highly conserved among teleosts. Among these five members, Lcelavl1a showed significantly higher expression levels during Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida infection, suggesting an important immune-related role. It was therefore selected for further functional investigation. Lcelavl1a was detected in all nine examined tissues, with the highest expression in the gonads. Following Vibrio parahaemolyticus challenge, Lcelavl1a was significantly upregulated in the head kidney, spleen, liver, and gill. Recombinant LcELAVL1a (rELAVL1a) inhibited the growth of V. parahaemolyticus, Edwardsiella tarda, and Staphylococcus aureus in a concentration-dependent manner and bound directly to all three bacterial species, indicating broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. At the cellular level, overexpression of Lcelavl1a in large yellow croaker kidney cells (PCK) elevated the basal mRNA levels of il-1\u03b2, il-6, and tnf-\u03b1, and reduced bacteria-induced cell injury. Moreover, rELAVL1a treatment improved the viability of bacteria-infected PCK cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that LcELAVL1a functions as an immune-active protein in large yellow croaker and provide new insights into the functional diversity of the ELAVL family in teleost fish.",

These developments now enable the integration of histopathological images with non-image data, prediction of treatment response and prognosis, and reduction of the workload for medical professionals. In this review, we provide an overview of representative analytical methods for pathological images, as well as approaches for predicting biomarkers and therapeutic responsiveness directly from histological images. We summarize key studies across major cancer types, pan-cancer investigations, and examples that have been successfully implemented in clinical practice. Additionally, we introduce emerging frameworks such as quantitative analysis of cellular components and tumor microenvironments, pathology foundation models, mRNA expression-based treatment response prediction, integration with spatial transcriptomics data, and applications in clinical trial design. Despite this progress, several challenges remain, such as limited availability of large-scale, high-quality datasets, domain shift across institutions, lack of model interpretability, potential biases, and significant barriers to clinical implementation and regulatory approval. Nevertheless, future developments are expected to enable the simultaneous estimation of multiple biomarkers from a single pathological image, potentially eliminating the need for additional tests. Ultimately, such advances may facilitate rapid, patient-specific drug selection and contribute to more efficient and personalized cancer treatment.",

We aimed to detect and genetically characterize HPAI viruses in wild bird populations in Mongolia and assess their relationship with viruses circulating in East Asia. Active surveillance was conducted at Ganga Lake, Mongolia, in October 2024. A total of 352 wild bird fecal samples were collected and tested for AIVs. Viral isolates were subtyped, whole-genome sequenced, and phylogenetically analyzed. Host species was identified using c oxidase I barcoding. Sixteen AIVs were isolated, including one clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 HPAI virus (M9-3) from whooper swan feces. Genomic analysis revealed M9-3 had > 99% similarity with Korean and Japanese H5N1 isolates reported in late 2024 and undergone recent reassortment and disseminated through migratory flyways. This is the first detection of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 in Eastern Mongolia in a fecal sample during late autumn. These findings underscore Mongolia's importance as a sentinel location for interregional HPAI dissemination.",

We conducted a retrospective study over one year (April 2024-March 2025) on 258 patients with ARTIs, admitted to a tertiary care hospital located in Egypt, to characterize their microbiological profile by Biofire respiratory 2.1 plus panel (RP 2.1). The demographic data and co-morbidities were systematically collected and analyzed from electronic medical records. Of 160 patients testing positive for at least one respiratory pathogen by RP2.1 plus, 147 (91.8%) were positive for viral pathogens, 8(5%) for mixed viral-bacterial detections, and 5(3.2%) for bacterial detections. Detection of a single respiratory pathogen was observed among 71.8% of cases, with a statistically significant difference during autumn (27%, p\u2009=\u20090.03), and co-detections with multiple pathogens were observed among 28.2% of patients. Human rhinovirus (HRV) was the most common detected virus (52.5%), followed by Parainfluenza virus 1-4 (PIV,16.9%), seasonal Coronavirus species (15.6%), severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and Influenza virus (INF) with equal frequency 10% each. Of 84 patients with HRV, 54 (64%) were infected with HRV only, and 30 (36%) had HRV co-detection. Patients with HRV co-detection were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with pneumonia than patients with HRV mono-detection (71.4% vs. 28.6%, p\u2009<\u20090.0001). Children in the age group less than 4 years old were more likely to be diagnosed with HRV co-detection than children with HRV only (60% versus 40% at p\u2009=\u20090.00). The most frequently detected respiratory pathogens with HRV were human coronavirus OC43 (4, 13.3%), followed by INFA (3,10%) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (3,10%). The current surge of respiratory pathogens post-COVID-19 pandemic calls for continuous monitoring of seasonal as well as co-detection patterns to mitigate potential health care burden and guide targeted public health interventions.

"42552681": "ID: 42552681\nTitle: Impact of an Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination Course on Enhancing Pharmacists' Knowledge.\nAbstract: BACKGROUND In Poland, pharmacists have recently been authorized to administer vaccinations to adult patients in pharmacies, including influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. To obtain certification, pharmacists must complete a specialized qualification course organized by the Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education in Warsaw (CPME). This study aimed to evaluate changes in pharmacists' knowledge following completion of a qualification course on administering influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations. MATERIAL AND METHODS This pre-post study was conducted online between February 2024 and July 2025. Participation was limited to pharmacists eligible to enroll in the CPME course. Knowledge was assessed using an original 20-item single-choice test (1 point per correct answer) covering influenza and pneumococcal epidemiology, eligibility criteria, and the legal and financial aspects of vaccination. Analyses examined both the overall score and changes in responses to individual questions. RESULTS The study included only participants who completed both the pre-test and post-test, constituting the matched analytic cohort (n=327). The course significantly improved knowledge relative to the pre-training assessment (t\u208d\u2083\u2082\u2086\u208e=28.02; P<0.001; d=1.55). The effect was substantial, with a mean increase of 4.7 points across the entire test (Mdiff=-4.67; 95% confidence interval, -4.99 to -4.34). Respondents improved their scores by approximately 23% of the maximum possible score. CONCLUSIONS Completion of the qualification course on influenza and pneumococcal vaccination significantly improved pharmacists' knowledge. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess knowledge retention and determine the impact of expanded pharmacy-based vaccination services on public health outcomes in Poland.",
"42552874": "ID: 42552874\nTitle: Genetic and Phylogenetic Characterization of Influenza D Viruses From South Korean Cattle, 2022-2023.\nAbstract: Influenza D virus (IDV) is an emerging orthomyxovirus with cattle as its principal reservoir, and D/Yama2019-lineage viruses have become dominant in East Asia. Although IDV has been detected in Korean cattle, the genomic identity, phylogenetic placement, and regional evolutionary relationships of circulating Korean strains have not been defined. To address these gaps, nasal swabs were collected from 578 cattle with mild respiratory signs on 157 farms across eight provinces in South Korea during 2022-2023 and screened by RT-qPCR targeting the PB1 gene. Positive samples underwent complete genome sequencing of all seven segments, followed by maximum-likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses, discrete phylogeographic inference using a Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS) model, and positive selection analyses. Six samples from three farms were IDV-positive (sample-level positivity: 1.04%; farm-level positivity: 1.9%), all from 8-to-10-month-old calves. Phylogenetic analysis of all seven genomic segments placed all six Korean strains within the D/Yama2019 lineage with strong bootstrap support (99%-100%), forming a monophyletic cluster more closely related to Chinese than to Japanese D/Yama2019 reference strains. No phylogenetic evidence of reassortment was detected. Bayesian time-scaled analysis estimated the most recent common ancestor of the Korean strains at ~2018.1-2020.1 across all seven segments. HEF-based BSSVS analysis suggested a China-to-South Korea transition within the sampled dataset (posterior probability (PP)\u2009=\u20090.982; Bayes factor (BF)\u2009=\u2009163.67), although this result should be interpreted in light of the small number of Korean sequences and the single-segment basis of the phylogeographic analysis. Positive selection analyses revealed limited, method-dependent signals without support from the fixed effects likelihood model, and Korean-associated amino acid substitutions in PB1, P3, NS1, and NS2 were interpreted as lineage-associated molecular signatures rather than evidence of adaptive evolution. These findings provide a whole-genome baseline for IDV surveillance in South Korea and support continued longitudinal monitoring to clarify the persistence and transmission dynamics of D/Yama2019-lineage viruses in the region.",

Cardiovascular events and infections drive mortality in end-stage renal disease via immune dysregulation. The role of T-cell purinergic signaling and its modulation by indoxyl sulfate (IS) in CKD remains unclear. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 5/6 nephrectomy. The CKD\u00a0+\u00a0IS group received daily IS (100\u2009\u03bcg/kg, intraperitoneally) for 24\u00a0weeks; control group received saline. Samples were collected 2-6\u2009h post-injection. Sepsis was induced via cecal ligation and puncture. Splenic T-cell mRNA cluster of differentiation (CD) 73, CD39, A2A receptor (A2AR), P2X purinergic receptor (P2RX7), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-\u03baB) was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Plasma cytokines, vascular injury markers (asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1)), and myocardial markers (cardiac troponin T (cTnT), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Peripheral purine metabolites (adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate, adenosine (ADO)) were analyzed via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Survival was monitored for 72\u2009h. IS exacerbated baseline microinflammation, elevating plasma cytokines (interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1)) and T-cell NF-\u03baB. This coincided with disrupted anti-inflammatory purinergic signaling, characterized by downregulated CD73/A2AR and reduced ADO. Post-infection, the CKD\u00a0+\u00a0IS group showed profound CD73 suppression and ADO depletion. Despite blunted cytokine surges, this group exhibited aggravated vascular and myocardial injury (elevated ADMA, ICAM-1, cTnT, BNP) and significantly higher 72-hour mortality. Indoxyl sulfate disrupts the T-cell CD73/ADO axis, promoting basal microinflammation while impairing anti-infective immunity and exacerbating organ damage during sepsis. Targeting the IS-CD73-ADO pathway offers a therapeutic strategy for restoring immune homeostasis in uremia.",

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) serves as a classic tool for studying infection-related neuroinflammation and behavioral changes. Research indicates that LPS can induce peripheral inflammation and neuroinflammation, leading to synaptic dysfunction and neurobehavioral abnormalities. Furthermore, studies suggest that stress can increase susceptibility to inflammation. Intermittent hypoxia, a core pathological feature of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, induces low-grade chronic inflammation in the central nervous system. This study investigates whether intermittent hypoxia exacerbates LPS-induced cognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety-like behaviors, and explores its potential mechanisms. Adult mice were treated with LPS alone or in combination with daily 8-h intermittent hypoxia via a hypoxia chamber. Depression and anxiety-like behavior were assessed using the tail suspension, forced swim, elevated plus maze, and open field tests. Spatial learning and memory were measured using the Morris water maze test. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and levels of genes and proteins of synaptic-related proteins were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blotting, and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR, respectively. LPS-induced impaired cognitive function, increased depression-like and anxiety-like behaviors, elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, and decreased mRNA and protein levels of synapse-related proteins, synaptosomal-associated protein of 25\u00a0kDa, synaptotagmin-1, synaptophysin, and postsynaptic density protein-95 in adult male mice. Intermittent hypoxia exacerbated these adverse effects. Intermittent hypoxia exacerbates LPS-induced neurobehavioral abnormalities, which are associated with neuroinflammation and alterations in synapse-related proteins.",

Antibody responses correlate with protection but markers of immunity vary across a spectrum of immunocompromise. We compared serologic and cellular responses following Ancestral COVID-19 vaccines in healthy controls (HC), people with HIV (PWH) and lung transplant (LTx) recipients. Anti-spike receptor binding domain (RBD) IgG, neutralising antibodies (nAb) and T-cell responses were assessed one-month post-dose 2 and dose 3 of Ancestral COVID-19 vaccination in HC, PWH and LTx. NAb responses to Ancestral, Delta and Omicron BA.2 and BA.5 variants were assessed. Twenty-nine HC, 21 PWH and 12 LTx recipients were included. PWH demonstrated lower anti-RBD-IgG responses (median post-dose 3: 80.3\u2009\u03bcg mL-1 vs 43.3\u2009\u03bcg mL-1, P\u2009=\u20090.03) to mRNA COVID-19 vaccination than HC, while LTx recipients displayed diminished responses following any vaccine (15.3\u2009\u03bcg mL-1 vs 74.0\u2009\u03bcg mL-1, P\u2009=\u20090.01). Dose 3 increased anti-RBD-IgG concentrations and nAb responses in HC and PWH, though Omicron variant neutralisation was attenuated. LTx recipients mounted limited nAb responses. PWH and HC had no difference in nAb responses for Ancestral (median 1738 vs 486.2, P\u2009>\u20090.99) or BA.5 variants (median 34.0 vs 67.9, P\u2009>\u20090.99). Compared with HC, PWH and LTx demonstrated reduced frequencies of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T\u00a0cells and a reduced functional memory T-cell response in LTx. Although Dose 3 was beneficial, LTx recipients demonstrated lower serological responses than HC, while reductions were modest in PWH. Immunocompromised groups had reduced but detectable SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses, demonstrating the utility of COVID-19 vaccination despite poorer serological responses.",
"42553129": "ID: 42553129\nTitle: Aerosol transmission of infectious diseases in poultry: microbiology, pathogenesis, and control measures.\nAbstract: The expansion of intensive poultry production improves productivity but increases the risk of disease transmission. In poultry houses, infectious disease transmission occurs through direct and indirect routes, including surface contamination and vector-borne transmission. Typically, disease control in poultry mostly focuses on direct contact and management-related practices in poultry houses, but there is growing evidence highlighting the significance of the aerosol transmission route - an indirect route of pathogen spread that can impair production performance in poultry. High stocking density in poultry houses, inadequate ventilation, and poor biosecurity measures increase the risk of aerosolized transmission of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. The efficiency of this route depends on particle size, humidity, temperature, and ventilation, which influence pathogen survival and exposure, and is further compounded by environmental stressors and the site of action within the animal's respiratory system. Given that major pathogens, such as avian influenza virus, infectious bronchitis virus, avian orthoavulavirus 1, and Aspergillus spp., are usually transmitted via the aerosol route, it is essential for poultry farmers to adopt a range of mitigation strategies to achieve effective disease prevention and improve production output. As such, this review highlights the role of aerosol transmission in poultry health and management, focusing on microbiological aspects, pathogenesis, overall impact, and mitigation strategies. Also, this review aims to integrate current knowledge on aerosol characteristics with transmission dynamics and to provide insight into future research opportunities.",

This study aimed to estimate the size of populations eligible for influenza vaccination according to the Mexican Universal Vaccination Program and to evaluate vaccination coverage gaps among populations at risk in Mexico between 2010 and 2021. A retrospective analytical study was conducted using epidemiological and administrative healthcare databases from Mexican public healthcare institutions. Population estimates were constructed using prevalence-based epidemiological projections, healthcare system records, and attended patient data from populations at risk. Descriptive analyses and time-series modeling were performed to evaluate vaccination coverage patterns and healthcare demand over time. Across all analyzed populations at risk, the number of individuals receiving healthcare services was consistently lower than the number of notified cases and substantially lower than prevalence-based epidemiological estimates. Vaccination coverage varied considerably across populations at risk and remained incomplete throughout the study period. In 2021, although approximately 12.5 million influenza vaccine doses were administered among populations at risk, a substantial proportion of potentially eligible individuals remained unvaccinated. Forecasting analyses suggested a progressive increase in healthcare demand among populations at risk over time. Important gaps persist between the estimated population at risk, diagnosed individuals, healthcare utilization, and influenza vaccination coverage in Mexico. The analytical framework proposed in this study integrates epidemiological prevalence estimates, healthcare utilization patterns, and vaccination data to identify unmet vaccination needs and may support improved public health planning, prioritization strategies, and strengthening of influenza vaccination programs in Mexico and similar settings.",

These crises underscore the critical need for high-fidelity and human-relevant infection models. Organoid technology has emerged as a cornerstone platform for pathogen research by faithfully recapitulating the 3-dimensional architecture and physiological microenvironment of native human tissues in\u00a0vitro. This review systematically examines the development and structural refinement of organoid-based infection models with an emphasis on evidence-based strategies for stem cell source selection, extracellular matrix optimization, and dynamic culture system engineering. Such advancements enable the robust generation of multi-organ models including respiratory, intestinal, and neural organoids tailored for investigating viral tropism, spatiotemporal infection kinetics, and host immune responses. Furthermore, we evaluate the translational utility of organoids in high-throughput antiviral drug screening and preclinical vaccine assessment. To further enhance physiological relevance and functional fidelity, organoid platforms are being increasingly combined with advanced engineering strategies, including coculture approaches, CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genetic perturbation, engineered microphysiological systems (such as organ-on-a-chip), and 3D bioprinting. These integrated technologies improve biomimicry while expanding experimental controllability and scalability. In addition, we critically examine the major bottlenecks limiting clinical translation and discuss emerging frontiers driven by artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. Through iterative technological refinement and cross-disciplinary convergence, organoids have evolved beyond reductionist in\u00a0vitro surrogates into physiologically informed and mechanism-driven platforms that advance our understanding of host-pathogen interactions while enhancing global preparedness against emerging pathogens.",
"42553884": "ID: 42553884\nTitle: Nonpharmaceutical interventions and postpandemic resurgence: the shifting epidemiology of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province (2020-2024).\nAbstract: Acute respiratory infections caused by influenza A/B (Flu A/Flu B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and adenovirus (ADV) remain a major global health burden. The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly altered respiratory virus transmission through nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Samples from patients with respiratory tract infections at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to October 2024 were collected. ADV, Flu A, Flu B, and RSV were detected to evaluate the impact of NPIs on viral epidemiology. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software and GraphPad Prism. Multivariable binary logistic regression models, adjusting for age group and sex, were constructed to evaluate the independent effect of NPI relaxation (strict NPI period 2020-2022 vs. post-relaxation period 2023-2024) on virus positivity. Stratified analyses by age group and demographic comparability assessments between periods were also performed. Overall virus positivity declined from 27.4% (2020) to 14.5% (2021) during strict NPIs, then rebounded to 35.1% in 2023 after relaxation. Flu A resurged atypically in summer 2022 and dominated the 2023 winter peak, while Flu B increased annually and peaked in 2024. ADV regained its prepandemic summer seasonality by 2024, whereas RSV showed limited seasonal variation. Higher ADV positivity was observed in males, and higher Flu B positivity in females. By 2024, influenza burden shifted toward adults and geriatric populations, while children under five remained most vulnerable to RSV and ADV. However, after adjusting for demographic shifts-including a significant increase in adult patients (18-60 years: 22.1%-40.0%) and altered sex ratios between periods (both P < 0.001)-the post-relaxation period showed lower adjusted odds of positivity for all four pathogens (Flu A: aOR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.61-0.67; Flu B: aOR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.63-0.70; ADV: aOR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.68-0.76; RSV: aOR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.59-0.65; all P < 0.001), whereas no significant sex differences were observed after multivariable adjustment (all P > 0.05). Stratified analyses further revealed that the magnitude of period-related risk reduction increased with age for all pathogens. This study demonstrates that the postpandemic resurgence of respiratory viruses in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was not a monolithic recrudescence following NPIs relaxation, but a multifaceted shifting epidemiology driven by three convergent forces: expanded school-based and community screening that broadened the tested denominator, demographic case-mix shifts toward higher-risk adult populations, and pathogen-specific alterations in seasonal and age-specific transmission patterns. The consistently lower adjusted odds of positivity during the post-relaxation period indicate that crude resurgence signals must be interpreted through the lens of surveillance structure. This study demonstrates that the postpandemic resurgence of respiratory viruses in Hangzhou (2020-2024) was not a uniform transmission rebound following NPI relaxation, but a shifting epidemiology shaped by surveillance structural changes, pathogen-specific resilience, and altered population immunity. Multivariable models showed lower adjusted odds after restriction easing, while age-stratified analyses revealed heterogeneous period effects superimposed on stable risk hierarchies. In this subtropical Chinese city, influenza reasserted prepandemic seasonality, whereas RSV and ADV exhibited delayed recovery. These insights advocate for adaptive, age-targeted public health strategies-prioritizing adult vaccination for influenza and sustained pediatric prevention for RSV and ADV-that account for both biological transmission dynamics and surveillance artifacts in the post-COVID-19 era.",

Despite standard regression models, critical flaws - uncontrolled confounding, exposure misclassification, unequal follow-up, and outcome multiplicity, invalidate causal inference. An independent group of international experts critically appraises this analysis and contrast its claims with the consistent evidence confirming vaccine safety and effectiveness. We also show how poorly designed studies can distort public discourse, amplify misinformation, and fuel vaccine hesitancy. We outline actions to strengthen research integrity, such as transparent data sharing, labeling of non-peer-reviewed content, and evidence-based communication.

Continuous antigenic variation in influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) is a major driver of influenza pandemics. Therefore, precise identification of B-cell epitopes within HA is essential for developing diagnostic tools and vaccine candidates that can help limit further influenza spread. In the present study, an integrated experimental and bioinformatics strategy was used. A trimeric HA protein was rationally designed to improve antigenicity and immunogenicity, expressed in a mammalian eukaryotic expression system, and purified by Ni-affinity chromatography. After animal immunization, nine HA-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), namely 5D5, 6B8, 9E7, 13F8, 14C3, 15F6, 16B5, 17H7, and 20C5, were generated. These mAbs specifically recognized HA protein in western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFA). B-cell epitopes on HA were subsequently mapped using these mAbs by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dot-blot, western blotting, and IFA. Six previously unreported linear B-cell epitopes were identified: 21GNDNSTATL29, 41IVKTITNDR49, 116YDVPDYASL124, 382DLKSTQAAI390, 458SEMNKLFEK466, and 488KCDNACIGS496. Bioinformatics analysis further revealed the spatial distribution and structural characteristics of these epitope regions on HA. These findings expand the current understanding of HA epitopes and provide a theoretical basis for developing IAV subunit vaccines and highly sensitive detection methods.",

Two intersecting crises drive this gap: vaccine hesitancy, rooted in historical distrust and pervasive misinformation, and vaccine scarcity, driven by supply chain fragility and infrastructural deficits. Sub-Saharan Africa bears approximately 70% of global maternal deaths and 57% of neonatal deaths worldwide, with an estimated 200\u2009000 vaccine-preventable neonatal deaths annually. This narrative review examines the causes and impacts of both crises and reviews the evidence base for key maternal vaccines including tetanus toxoid, Anti-D immunoglobulin, influenza, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), and respiratory syncytial virus. Drawing on a conceptual pathway model, we present a six-pillar framework addressing structural determinants, prenatal care integration, workforce capacity, supply chain modernization, community engagement, and equity-focused monitoring. We conclude with a call to action for concerted, multi-stakeholder intervention to build a resilient and equitable maternal immunization ecosystem across the region.",

Here, we show that importin \u03b24 (IPO4) has a role in inhibiting antiviral innate immunity. Transcriptomics analysis illustrated a downregulation of IPO4 in alveolar macrophages, lung ciliated epithelium, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from severely ill patients with COVID-19 or influenza. We further identified CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB) as the transcription factor for IPO4 reduction during RNA viral infections. Loss-of-function validation demonstrated that IPO4 dampens the innate antiviral and inflammatory responses in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, IPO4 sequesters fatty acid synthase (FASN) to block palmitic acid production, thereby inhibiting mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) activation and the downstream innate immune signaling. Moreover, Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated pulmonary restoration of IPO4 significantly alleviated viral pneumonia in mice. These results indicate that the CEBPB-IPO4-FASN-MAVS axis preserves innate immune homeostasis to avoid inflammatory pathology, highlighting IPO4 as a potential therapeutic target for severe viral pneumonia.",

Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of antiviral immunity and antigen presentation; yet, the direct impact of RSV on these pathways remains poorly understood. In this study, we identify sustained HLA-DM expression as a unique hallmark of RSV infected CD1c+ DCs, a phenotype not observed following influenza infection or poly(I:C) stimulation. Using single cell RNA sequencing, pharmacological inhibition, and complementary controls, we demonstrate that TBK1 dependent Type I Interferon signaling is a key regulator of HLA-DM expression during DC maturation. Co-culture experiments further suggest that HLA-DM-high DCs influence CD4+ T cell differentiation, supporting a model in which sustained HLA-DM expression reshapes antigen presentation and downstream adaptive immunity. Together, these findings uncover a previously unknown link between innate antiviral signaling and antigen presentation machinery in human DCs.",
"42555410": "ID: 42555410\nTitle: Comparative innate immune responses across major RNA and DNA viral infections: Mechanisms, immunopathology, and therapeutic perspectives.\nAbstract: Innate immunity is the first defense against viral infections, limiting viral replication and initiating adaptive immunity. Viral pathogens are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), (RIG-I-like receptors) RLRs, and the (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase) cGAS-STING pathway, which trigger interferon production and antiviral responses. This review compares innate immune responses to major RNA viruses (influenza, SARS-CoV-2, HIV) and DNA viruses (HSV, HBV, CMV). While these viruses activate similar pathways, they differ in interferon dynamics, inflammatory responses, immune cell activation, and immune evasion mechanisms. RNA viruses often induce rapid and strong innate responses, whereas many DNA viruses establish persistence through immune modulation. Dysregulated innate immunity can contribute to cytokine storms, chronic inflammation, and tissue damage. Therapeutic strategies targeting innate immunity, such as interferons, cytokine inhibitors, PRR agonists, and host-directed antivirals, may improve outcomes. Infection severity depends on the timing, magnitude, and regulation of innate immune responses.",

This phase 2 extension study evaluated immunogenicity and safety of MF59-adjuvanted, cell culture-derived H5N6 vaccine (aH5N6c) in adults primed with MF59-adjuvanted, cell culture-derived H5N1 vaccine (aH5N1c) and in unprimed adults. Adults previously primed with two doses of aH5N1c in the parent study V89_18 were randomized to receive two aH5N6c doses (Group 1) or one aH5N6c and one placebo (Group 2) 3\u2009weeks apart. Unprimed adults received two aH5N6c doses (Group 3). Immunogenicity was assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and microneutralization (MN) assays against the priming (H5N1) and booster (H5N6) strains on Days 1, 8, 22, 43, and 202. Among 258 exposed participants, primed subjects (Groups 1 and 2) showed higher HI geometric mean titers against both strains than unprimed (Group 3) subjects, with MN responses similarly enhanced. Heterologous H5N1 responses were robust in primed subjects (Day 43 HI GMTs: 333-343; seroconversion rates >89%) but minimal in unprimed subjects, with responses persisting to Day 202. Solicited adverse events were mild or moderate, comparable between groups, and consistent with other MF59-adjuvanted pandemic vaccines; no vaccine-related serious adverse events occurred. Heterologous H5N6 booster vaccination in H5N1-primed adults elicited strong cross-reactive immunity against the priming strain, demonstrating long-lasting immune memory for at least 6 y and supporting heterologous prime-boost strategies for pandemic preparedness against emerging H5 outbreaks.",

In this study, we explored the generation of probabilistic forecasts of short-term change in influenza-like illness (ILI) and acute respiratory illness (ARI) disease activity for over twenty countries in Europe. Building on publicly available datasets of respiratory disease activity in Europe, we describe a forecasting pipeline that includes: a) a flexible method to define categories of interest, in relation to disease activity seen in past seasons; and b) an approach based on smoothing splines to translate real-time probabilistic forecasts of continuous targets (available in Respicast) to forecasts of categorical targets. We applied the methods to forecast ILI/ARI consultation rates in Europe, and influenza-associated hospitalization in the United States during the 2024/25 season. For forecasts in the US, results suggest that the simple approximation method can match the skill of at least a third of the models with which a direct comparison was possible. Skill of the approximated forecasts of nearly half of the models in Respicast were better than the benchmark's when predicting ILI rate changes. Approximation of the hub-ensemble's continuous forecasts yielded an improvement of 24% over benchmark; further improvement through combining individual model forecasts was noted. ARI rate changes were harder to predict than ILI, and the value of model combination was less clear. Besides forecast skill, heterogeneity in models' calibration was also observed. We believe these categorical forecasts can provide a plausibly more intuitive indicator of predicted change in respiratory disease burden, and a useful addition to routine surveillance reports. The approaches are flexible, computationally inexpensive and can help realize an addon value from extant Respicast infrastructure.",

We performed a retrospective analysis of 73\u00a0925 CB units submitted to a Korean public cord blood bank from 2006 to 2025, encompassing two regulatory transitions in total nucleated cell (TNC) criteria and three major outbreaks (H1N1, MERS, and COVID-19), using interrupted time series, correlation, and multivariable analyses. Of 73\u00a0925 submissions, 27\u00a0684 (37.4%) were banked. The 2011 TNC \u2265 8\u2009\u00d7\u2009108 criterion produced a moderate reduction in banking rate from 37.7% to 33.6%, while the 2021 TNC \u2265 11\u2009\u00d7\u2009108 revision caused an abrupt decline from 52.6% to 24.4%. H1N1 and MERS had minimal effects, whereas the COVID-19 period showed a sustained decline coinciding with the 2021 TNC revision. Birth decline correlated strongly with submissions (R2 = 0.94). Regulatory criteria changes were the primary driver of banking rate fluctuations, while declining births affected submission volume. Among three outbreaks, only the COVID-19 period overlapped with a sustained decline, likely reflecting concurrent regulatory change rather than the pandemic itself. CB quality and safety were maintained throughout all disruptions. These findings have direct translational implications for sustaining the global CB inventory as a critical source of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation.",

Despite substantial progress, the broader clinical translation of mRNA therapeutics requires further optimization of delivery systems to address challenges related to stability, biodistribution, intracellular delivery efficiency, and biosafety. In this review, we discuss the rational design of redox-responsive nanomaterials that exploit physiological intracellular redox compartmentalization or, in selected systems, disease-associated oxidative or reductive dysregulation to improve mRNA delivery. We first summarize the biological basis of redox-responsive delivery by linking disease-associated redox imbalance with the engineering principles of responsive nanomaterials. We then systematically discuss major classes of redox-responsive systems, including oxidation-responsive, reduction-responsive, and dual-responsive platforms across polymeric, lipid-based, and hybrid nanomaterial formulations. Particular emphasis is placed on how distinct chemical architectures and responsive motifs influence intracellular delivery behavior, cargo release, immune compatibility, and therapeutic performance. Finally, we discuss current translational challenges, including long-term biosafety, repeated administration, immunogenicity, and large-scale manufacturing, while highlighting emerging opportunities such as AI-assisted material design and personalized theranostic applications. Collectively, this review provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how redox-responsive nanomaterial engineering may advance the next generation of precise and clinically translatable mRNA therapeutics.",

Despite the availability of effective prophylactic vaccines, therapeutic interventions for established HPV-associated malignancies remain limited. This mini-review synthesizes recent advances (2020-2026) in mRNA-LNP vaccine development targeting the HPV E6 and E7 oncoproteins. We examine the mechanistic basis for targeting E6/E7, technological advantages of mRNA-LNP platforms, and key preclinical evidence demonstrating potent T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity. Recent clinical progress, including BioNTech's BNT113 vaccine which received FDA Fast Track designation for HPV16-positive head and neck cancer, is discussed alongside ongoing challenges in delivery optimization, tumor microenvironment immunosuppression, and manufacturing scalability. The review concludes with future perspectives on combination strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors and the potential for personalized neoantigen approaches.",

A hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional surveillance data analysis using national sentinel SARI surveillance data collected from 2020 to 2024. Nine SARI sentinel hospitals are located across Cambodia. A total of 16 739 hospitalised patients who met the SARI case definition. SARI-confirmed positivity defines all SARI cases with laboratory-confirmed influenza or SARS-CoV-2 infections as the main outcome measure. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed, followed by multivariate logistic regression to identify factors associated with SARI-confirmed positivity. Among 16\u2009739 SARI cases, median age in years was 16 (IQR=59), with 54.6% being male; 13.5% were laboratory-confirmed for influenza or SARS-CoV-2. High mortality rate in 2021. A(H3N2) dominated in 2020, followed by widespread SARS-CoV-2 circulation in 2021. In 2022, SARS-CoV-2 co-circulated with A(H3N2) and influenza B (Victoria). A(H1N1)pdm became the predominant strain in 2023 as SARS-CoV-2 and A(H3N2) declined. In 2024, A(H3N2) again led circulation, with B(Victoria) and SARS-CoV-2 also detected. Sporadic A(H5N1) cases began appearing in late 2023. Multivariable analysis indicated higher odds of SARI-confirmed positivity among children aged 5-14 years (adjusted OR (aOR)=1.85; 95%\u2009CI 1.47 to 2.31)\u2009and adults 50-64 years (aOR=1.36; 95%\u2009CI 1.15 to 1.60) compared with adults 25-49 years, during the rainy season (aOR=2.09; 95%\u2009CI 1.89 to 2.32)\u2009and among patients in Phnom Penh compared with other regions (p<0.001). Influenza detection markedly increased from 2022 to 2024 following the decline observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. These results indicate that there was an increase in SARI trends over the periods and the changing influenza subtypes circulating each year, along with a high mortality rate during the Delta variant COVID-19 pandemic in Cambodia. Age, region, year and season were significant factors associated with SARI-confirmed positivity. Targeted interventions and preventive measures should be prioritised for specific high-risk groups.",

Influenza infection has been shown to increase the virulence of Streptococcus pyogenes, and a global resurgence of iGAS has been reported in the post-COVID-19 era.We report a woman in her early 30s at 32 weeks of gestation who developed fulminant iGAS following influenza A infection. Despite antiviral therapy and repeatedly negative rapid antigen tests for group A streptococcus, her condition rapidly deteriorated, resulting in septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome and intrauterine fetal death. Intensive multidisciplinary management including emergency delivery, continuous haemodiafiltration and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was required.

Particularly the expression of type I hypersensitivity associated with cytokine interleukin (IL) 13 has been shown to be of significance in both, appendicitis and influenza infection. The aim of the current study was to analyze possible associations of respective gene expressions at the level of mathematical correlations. We analyzed messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expressions of IAV-associated markers, hypersensitivity type I-related cytokines and inflammatory markers IL-17A and c-reactive protein (CRP) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 29 children aged 7-17 years, who were operated for histologically confirmed appendicitis at Charit\u00e9-Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin between April and August 2019. Statistical relationships between gene expressions were investigated using Spearman's correlation analysis, with a correlation coefficient r \u2265 0.5 or r \u2264 -\u00a00.5 representing high, and r \u2265 0.7 or r \u2264 - 0.7 very high correlations. Statistical significance was assumed at P < 0.01. A total of 29 patients were involved in this study. Particularly the expression of IL-13 showed highly significant negative correlations with that of IAV-specific antiviral response genes, ranging from -\u00a00.89 (P < 0.0001) to -\u00a00.49 (P = 0.006). A strong inflammatory background was demonstrated by very high correlations of IL-13 with CRP (r = 0.91, P < 0.0001) and IL-17A (r = 0.82, P < 0.0001). These findings suggest a connection between IAV infection and acute appendicitis in children, implicating sequential immune responses, including hypersensitivity type I mechanisms, in appendicitis pathophysiology.",

However, sustained human-to-human transmission has not yet been documented. This report describes the first laboratory-confirmed human infection with the influenza A(H1N2)v virus in China. Whole-genome sequencing showed that all eight gene segments were closely related to influenza viruses of swine origin circulating in China. No secondary human cases were identified among the close contacts, and no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission was detected. This highlights the importance of routine influenza-like illness surveillance, timely whole-genome sequencing, and systematic investigation of unusual influenza A infections. Strengthened surveillance at the human-animal interface and cross-sector collaboration under the One Health framework are essential for early detection and risk assessment of variant influenza viruses.",

A retrospective analysis was conducted on epidemiological and clinical data of children with influenza A virus infection who were hospitalized in Hebei Province from January 2020 to December 2024. Clinical specimens were analyzed using nucleic acid extraction reagents with automatic extraction on the Smart LabAssist-32 nucleic acid extractor. A 13-pathogen multiplex PCR detection kit combined with the GeXP multiplex gene expression analysis system was used for testing. A total of 298,810 specimens from children with upper and lower respiratory tract infections were collected. Among which 60,928 specimens were positive for influenza A virus (detection rate: 20.39%). The infection rate was highest in 2024 (23.03%) and lowest in 2020 (13.57%). The annual positive detection rates of influenza A virus in Hebei from 2020 to 2024 were 13.57%, 16.97%, 19.95%, 20.41%, and 23.03%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P\u2009<\u20090.05).

Mixed infections were detected in 16,049 specimens (26.34%), mainly involving rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP). Pediatric influenza A virus infections in Hebei Province exhibit a clustered age distribution, pronounced seasonal variation, and a high co-infection rate. Enhanced surveillance and protective measures should be targeted toward children aged 1-5 years and prioritized during the winter season.

Consequently, inducing allergen-specific immune tolerance during early life can be a preventive strategy to reduce the development of food allergy. Here, we developed a novel fusion protein cholera toxin B (CTB)-ovalbumin (OVA) expressed on Bacillus subtilis (B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA) spore surface and investigated whether B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA spores prevent OVA-induced food allergy in a mouse model and explored the potential underlying mechanisms. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blot were used to confirm that CTB-OVA was expressed on B. subtilis spores. Female BALB/c mice were orally administered with B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA spores and B. subtilis spore control (B.s-CotC and B.s-CotC-CTB) for 4 weeks. Then, sensitization and challenge with OVA were performed on mice. Fecal OVA-secretory IgA (sIgA) and serum OVA-IgE, IgG1, and IgG2a levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The gut microbiome was analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. After challenge, diarrhea score, anaphylactic reactions score, splenocyte interleukin (IL)-10, IL-4, and interferon-\u03b3 (IFN-\u03b3), and Treg levels were measured. mRNA of IL-10, IL-4, IFN-\u03b3, and Foxp3 were measured. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) was used to explore the mechanisms of microbiome in B. subtilis on food allergy. Recombinant CTB-OVA was successfully expressed on the surface of B. subtilis. Oral administration of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA can increase fecal OVA-sIgA, alleviate food allergy symptoms, and decrease serum OVA-IgE in mice with significance (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Moreover, oral administration of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA can significantly reduce serum OVA-IgG1, OVA-IgG2, IL-4, spleen mast cells, and eosinophil levels and significantly increase serum IL-10 and Treg levels (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Additionally, microbiome analysis shows that oral administration of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA can significantly increase the relative abundance of Muribaculaceae and significantly decrease the relative abundance of Alistipes. FMT partially reproduced the reduction in serum OVA-specific IgE, but did not significantly improve allergic symptom or diarrhea scores, suggesting that gut microbiota alterations may partially contribute to the immunological effects of B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA. These findings suggest that B.s-CotC-CTB-OVA spores may serve as a preventive oral antigen-delivery strategy to promote antigen-specific immune regulation and partially modulate microbiota-associated immune responses in OVA-induced food allergy.",

Rapid and accurate identification of these pathogens is crucial for timely intervention. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic tools, such as the BioFire FilmArray pneumonia panel, have significantly improved early pathogen detection, aiding in prompt and targeted treatment as in the presenting case. We report a case of necrotizing pneumonia in a female adult who presented with severe respiratory distress. Initial testing identified coinfection with influenza and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using the BioFire FilmArray pneumonia panel, which provided rapid and precise pathogen detection before admission. The patient developed worsening respiratory failure, requiring mechanical ventilation and intensive care. Despite the severity of the infection, early diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy tailored to the identified pathogens led to a significant clinical improvement, allowing for a favorable recovery. This case highlights the critical role of rapid molecular diagnostics in the early detection of coinfections in necrotizing pneumonia. The timely identification of influenza and MRSA facilitated targeted antimicrobial therapy, which was instrumental in preventing further complications and improving the patient's prognosis. As PCR-based diagnostics become more widely available, their integration into routine clinical practice can enhance the management of severe pneumonia cases, ultimately leading to better outcomes. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for coinfections in severe pneumonia and leverage rapid diagnostic tools to guide early and effective treatment strategies.",

FGF2 plays important physiological roles and has considerable therapeutic potential; however, its pleiotropic and non-selective activation of FGFRs can lead to adverse effects. Therefore, molecular engineering of FGF ligands with controlled receptor isoform specificity is required. Here, we engineered FGF2 variants with altered FGFR isoform specificity using mRNA display-based deep mutational scanning (DMS), thereby enabling systematic evaluation of residues within the FGFR-binding interface that contribute to FGFR isoform specificity despite limited structural information. We demonstrate for the first time that FGFs with altered FGFR isoform specificity can be generated. Notably, FGFR isoform specificity proved malleable and could be reprogrammed by single-amino acid substitutions. These findings reveal that receptor selectivity in FGF2 is tunable and provide a framework for rationally designing FGF ligands with tailored FGFR isoform specificity, advancing the understanding and control of complex FGF/FGFR signaling networks.",

We describe simultaneous lupus myopericarditis, Class III nephritis, myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) positivity, and a catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS)-like thrombotic syndrome, highlighting the vulnerability of survivors after fulminant SLE. A previously healthy 29-year-old man presented with hypertensive pulmonary oedema, acute hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring intubation, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 36%, and dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury. Work-up showed antinuclear antibody positivity, high-titre anti-dsDNA antibodies, hypocomplementaemia, and triple-positive antiphospholipid antibodies. High-dose corticosteroids and immunosuppression were initiated, and rituximab was selected as adjunctive B-cell-depleting therapy in the setting of severe cardiac and renal SLE, with MPO-ANCA positivity raising concern for a higher-risk renal phenotype. Kidney biopsy confirmed Class III proliferative lupus nephritis, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) supported myopericarditis. Cerebral and splenic infarctions prompted anticoagulation, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and plasma exchange. The course was complicated by cytomegalovirus peritonitis requiring hemicolectomy. After discharge, he was readmitted with influenza A-associated septic and cardiogenic shock, LVEF 17%, recurrent multifocal cerebral infarctions, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, and invasive aspergillosis. Treatment required plasma exchange, IVIG, tracheostomy, and continuous renal replacement therapy. He survived to rehabilitation after 123 cumulative hospital days. This case illustrates convergent life-threatening autoimmune, thrombotic, and infectious complications in SLE. Cardiac MRI and kidney biopsy were essential for diagnosis. Infection-associated recurrent CAPS-like thrombosis during multi-organ failure underscores the need for infection prevention and close surveillance after fulminant lupus.",

We estimated influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) against laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalisation among patients in Northern Ireland (NI) during the 2024/25 influenza season. We used a test-negative design to estimate VE against hospitalisation. Influenza-positive cases and test-negative controls were identified through the national laboratory surveillance system and linked to hospital admission and vaccination records. VE was estimated by influenza type/subtype, age group, sex, vaccine type and time since vaccination. Among 15,133 hospitalised patients, 2024 (13.4%) tested positive for influenza. Among the 2024 patients admitted with laboratory-confirmed influenza, the vast majority tested positive for influenza A (n\u2009=\u20091803; 89.1%), whereas 221 cases (10.9%) were influenza B. Subtyping of influenza A identified 606 A(H1) infections and 93 A(H3) infections; the remaining 1104 influenza A samples were not subtyped. VE against laboratory-confirmed influenza infection was 46.0% (95% CI: 39.7% to 51.8%), with higher VE in children aged 2-17\u2009years (60.8%; 95% CI: 48.3% to 70.5%) than in adults aged 18-64\u2009years (40.5%; 95% CI: 24.9% to 53.2%) and \u2265\u200965\u2009years (42.3%; 95% CI: 33.2% to 50.1%). VE against influenza A across all ages was 41.4% (95% CI: 34.2% to 47.9%). Vaccination reduced the odds of hospitalisation due to influenza A(H1) by 44.3% (95% CI: 33.2% to 53.7%) and A(H3) by 49.9% (95% CI: 20.3% to 69.3%). VE against influenza B was higher at 76.4% (95% CI: 64.9% to 84.7%). For influenza A, VE was highest 2-8\u2009weeks after vaccination at 51.9% (95% CI: 42.1% to 60.1%) and declined with time since vaccination to 44.6% (95% CI: 35.6% to 52.5%) at 9-16\u2009weeks and 41.4% (95% CI: 15.4% to 60.1%) at \u2265\u200916\u2009weeks. VE against influenza B remained high throughout the season. No statistically significant differences in VE by vaccine type were found. Influenza vaccination reduced the risk of hospitalisation with laboratory-confirmed influenza during the 2024/25 season, offering meaningful protection at individual and population levels, with the greatest benefit observed in children.",

Available sequence-flagged and representative viruses were tested with antivirals using in vitro assays. In the US, three oseltamivir-resistant A(H3N2) viruses had treatment-emergent neuraminidase (NA) mutations, either E119V or R292K. Oseltamivir-resistant A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses with NA-H275Y were detected in 15 states, albeit at a low frequency (0.53%). They belonged to several phylogenetic groups, with hemagglutinin (HA) subclade D.3.1 combined with either NA subclade D.1 or D.2 being most common. Based on shared sequence data, nearly all H275Y viruses from Australia, Canada, and Chile also belonged to these HA and NA subclades. Conversely, most H275Y viruses (68/81) from China belonged to HA subclade C.1.9 and NA subclade D and shared the permissive mutation R257K. Influenza polymerase acidic (PA) mutations conferring 4- to 92-fold decreased baloxavir susceptibility were detected in nine influenza A viruses. Viruses with PA-I38T showed mild attenuation of replicative fitness in three cell lines. Based on available data, NA-H275Y and PA-I38T viruses were collected from patients with no exposure to antivirals. Baseline susceptibility to all US-approved influenza antivirals remained largely unchanged compared to previous seasons. All swine-origin viruses detected in the US had adamantane resistance-conferring marker, M2-S31N, but remained susceptible to other approved antivirals. Monitoring antiviral susceptibility has substantially improved with increased sequencing capacities and bioinformatic support at public health laboratories. Information gained through influenza surveillance has been used to guide recommendations on antiviral use. Circulation of influenza viruses with reduced susceptibility to antivirals can diminish the usefulness of medications prescribed for influenza. This study informs on the prevalence of drug-resistant influenza viruses in the US during the high severity season of 2024-25. It provides information on susceptibility profile to all approved antiviral medications and on replicative fitness of representative drug-resistant viruses. Most drug-resistant viruses were collected from patients who were not exposed to antivirals indicating their ability to transmit from human to human. Whole-genome sequence (WGS)-based analysis is the cornerstone for surveillance, and numerous laboratories have been utilizing this approach. However, CDC laboratory is the only laboratory in the US conducting phenotypic testing of circulating viruses needed to confirm the outcomes of sequence-based analysis and to identify new molecular markers of resistance. Data gathered through virologic surveillance give much-needed information on drug susceptibility of influenza viruses which are used to guide recommendations on antiviral use.",
"42560073": "ID: 42560073\nTitle: Neutralizing and protective monoclonal antibodies identify antigenic sites in influenza H7 hemagglutinin and select for amino acid substitutions rarely observed at the global level.\nAbstract: Avian influenza viruses of the H7 subtype infect a variety of avian as well as mammalian species, and a better understanding of H7 virus antigenicity and immunogenicity is vital to the development of effective countermeasures for a potential H7 pandemic threat. We have developed a diverse panel of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the H7 hemagglutinin (HA) and characterized these mAbs for the HA epitope(s) that they bind, their neutralizing activity in vitro against several strains of H7, and their ability to provide protection against virus challenge in vivo. The majority of the isolated mAbs recognized antigenic sites A and B on the globular head of the influenza HA, but mAbs were also isolated to non-canonical sites on HA. Escape viruses generated against the mAbs were used to further define the antigenic sites on the H7 HA, and notably, we find that most amino acid substitutions identified in these escape viruses are rare at the global level. Finally, we used a polyclonal antibody generated by virus infection to assess whether antibody binding and neutralization were impacted by individual amino acid substitutions in the HA of escape viruses generated by the mAbs. The results showed that all of the escape viruses, each of which carried a single amino acid substitution, were still effectively neutralized by polyclonal antibodies, suggesting that the antibody response to H7 infection was broad and redundant.IMPORTANCEInfluenza H7 viruses infect a variety of avian and mammalian species, and present a potential threat to human health. We used a panel of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to facilitate the identification of important protective epitopes on the H7 hemagglutinin (HA). While most of the antibodies bind to antigenic sites A and B on the H7 HA that correspond to well-characterized cognate sites on influenza H3, some antibodies appear to recognize new epitopes in HA distinct from those known antigenic sites. We also identified amino acid substitutions in escape viruses selected by these mAbs and evaluated their impact in the context of polyclonal responses and natural H7 virus evolution over a >60-year period. Taken together, the results add to our understanding of influenza H7 virus antigenicity and immunogenicity, and may have positive implications for successful H7 vaccine development.",
"42560325": "ID: 42560325\nTitle: Blocked transcription-translation complexes are rescued by transcript release followed by trans-translation.\nAbstract: Bacterial ribosomes initiate translation while the nascent transcript is still engaged with RNA polymerase, creating a risk that translating ribosomes will become trapped if RNA polymerase is blocked before transcription of the stop codon. Here we show that DNA-binding proteins block RNA polymerase and translating ribosomes in vitro and in vivo. Translating ribosomes are rescued after they trigger the release of the nascent transcript from RNA polymerase. Following the release of the transcript, ribosomes translate to the 3' end of the mRNA and are rescued by trans-translation. This mechanism allows the rescue of all components of blocked transcription-translation reactions. Co-transcriptional translation in bacteria provides an efficient means to produce proteins but creates a risk that translating ribosomes could become trapped if RNA polymerase is blocked during transcription. We show that when RNA polymerase is blocked, a translating ribosome triggers the release of the nascent mRNA from the polymerase, and the ribosome is rescued by trans-translation. This mechanism for resolving blocked transcription-translation complexes explains how bacteria avoid detrimental accumulation of stalled ribosomes.",
"42560331": "ID: 42560331\nTitle: Expanding the role of pharmacists as vaccinators in New Zealand: a retrospective analysis of influenza vaccination trends following policy change.\nAbstract: Pharmacy-based influenza vaccination became part of New Zealand's public vaccination programme in 2017, eliminating out-of-pocket costs to consumers. This study evaluated trends in pharmacy-based influenza vaccination among adults aged \u226565 in New Zealand following the 2017 funding policy change, with the aim of examining whether the availability of government-funded influenza vaccination increased pharmacy-based vaccination in this population. Data on influenza vaccinations administered between 2015 and 2021 to adults \u226565 were provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Health from the National Immunisation Register. Descriptive analyses were employed to assess the absolute number and percentage of vaccinations given by each provider type from 2015 through 2021 to document trends after the public funding policy change and in the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of influenza vaccinations administered increased from 322\u2009161 in 2015 to 525\u2009769 in 2021. After public funding for influenza vaccination began in pharmacies, annual physician- and nurse-administered vaccinations ranged from 401\u2009840 to 426\u2009005 and 12\u2009590 to 19\u2009586, respectively, between 2018 and 2021, while pharmacist-administered vaccinations steadily increased from 16\u2009042 to 96\u2009343. The percentage of influenza vaccinations administered by pharmacists grew from nearly 0% in 2015 to 3.7% in 2018 and 18.3% in 2021. Research findings suggest that public funding for pharmacist-administered influenza vaccinations contributed to expanding overall influenza vaccine access in New Zealand among adults \u226565. In addition, the increase in pharmacist-delivered vaccinations did not negatively impact vaccinations administered by traditional providers, further demonstrating the value and growing role of pharmacies in advancing national immunization efforts.",
"42560765": "ID: 42560765\nTitle: Interferon regulatory factor 5 in myeloid cells promotes obstructive nephropathy-induced renal fibrosis in vivo.\nAbstract: Obstructive nephropathy is a significant and preventable contributor to chronic kidney disease, yet no disease-modifying anti-fibrotic agents are currently available.We hypothesized that interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) functions as a macrophage transcriptional regulator that directly transactivates matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) to initiate early extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Analysis of 30 human obstructive nephropathy biopsy specimens demonstrated that IRF5+CD68+ macrophage density increased progressively with fibrosis severity and correlated significantly with \u03b1-smooth muscle actin (\u03b1-SMA) positive areas. In the murine unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model, both global and myeloid-specific Irf5 deletion significantly attenuated collagen deposition, immune cell infiltration, and fibrotic gene expression compared with wild-type controls. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) analysis demonstrated that IRF5 directly binds the Mmp9 enhancer region and increases chromatin accessibility. Consequently, myeloid-specific Irf5 knockout significantly reduced Mmp9 mRNA and MMP9 protein levels. Pharmacological inhibition using the IRF5 inhibitor N5-1 mitigated established fibrosis, down-regulated \u03b1-SMA and MMP9 expression, and reduced CD68+ macrophage infiltration. These findings identify the IRF5-MMP9 axis as a therapeutically targetable pathway driving macrophage-mediated ECM expansion and provide pre-clinical evidence supporting IRF5 inhibition as a potential treatment strategy for patients with obstructive nephropathy.",
"42561029": "ID: 42561029\nTitle: Cross-serotype immunity elicited by a consensus dengue NS1 mRNA vaccine in mice.\nAbstract: Dengue virus (DENV) remains a major global health burden, with four antigenically distinct serotypes (DENV-1-4) posing a significant challenge for vaccine development. Dengue non-structural protein 1 (NS1) has been associated with additional protection and reduced disease severity, supporting its inclusion in vaccine design. In this study, we designed a consensus NS1 (cNS1) antigen by integrating sequence elements from all four DENV serotypes (78-89% amino acid identity) to enhance cross-serotype antigenic coverage. The cNS1 sequence was encoded as a nucleoside-modified mRNA and formulated in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA-LNPs). Immunization of BALB/c mice with a low dose (0.2 \u00b5g) of cNS1 mRNA-LNP induced broadly reactive NS1-specific IgG responses that recognized NS1 proteins from all four serotypes. In addition, the vaccine elicited interferon-\u03b3 (IFN-\u03b3)-producing T cell responses against peptide pools derived from multiple DENV serotypes, indicating the activation of cross-reactive cellular immunity. While broad immune recognition was achieved, this was accompanied by lower serotype-specific response magnitudes as a trade-off. In conclusion, the cNS1 mRNA vaccine induces cross-serotype humoral and cellular immune responses in mice, highlighting the potential of consensus antigen design to broaden immune recognition of DENV NS1. These findings support the further development of NS1-based immunogens as complementary components of next-generation dengue vaccines aimed at achieving broad and effective protection.",
"42561218": "ID: 42561218\nTitle: Temporal trend of influenza vaccination coverage among older adults in Brazil.\nAbstract: This study aimed to assess influenza vaccination coverage among older adults and its temporal trends in Brazil, its regions, and federative units from 2000 to 2019. This ecological time series study utilized data from the National Immunization Program Information System (SI-PNI). The sample comprised vaccine doses administered and the target population each study year, stratified by territorial unit. Vaccination coverage was calculated as the proportion of the target population effectively vaccinated, and temporal trends were assessed using the Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression model. Significant fluctuation in vaccination coverage was observed in Brazil, with the lowest coverage recorded in 2000 (72.53%) and the highest in 2018 (97.16%). Amap\u00e1 presented the highest average vaccination coverage over the period (95.51%), while S\u00e3o Paulo had the lowest (79.71%). Santa Catarina and S\u00e3o Paulo stood out for their highest annual variation in vaccination coverage, and increasing vaccination coverage trends were noted in 15 federative units of the country. In summary, influenza vaccination coverage among older adults showed fluctuations over 20 years, with a growing trend towards vaccination adherence in most federative units."
