Biomimetic and bioinspired nano‐platforms for cancer vaccine development

Development of Nanoplatforms for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy

Cancer remains one of the world's most deadly diseases; with about 12 million new cases and 7.6 million cancer death every year worldwide. Despite rapid advances in diagnostic procedures and treatments, the overall survival rate fflom cancer has not improved substantially over the past 30 years. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel approaches for the accurate detection of cancer at ari e...

Lumazine synthase protein cage nanoparticles as antigen delivery nanoplatforms for dendritic cell-based vaccine development

PURPOSE Protein cages are promising nanoplatform candidates for efficient delivery systems due to their homogenous size and structure with high biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this study, we investigate the potential of lumazine synthase protein cage as an antigen delivery system to dendritic cells (DCs), which induce antigen-specific T cell proliferation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Oval...

Biomimetic and bioinspired materials for applications in biophotonics.

Assessment of bioinspired models for pattern recognition in biomimetic systems.

The increasing complexity of the artificial implementations of biological systems, such as the so-called electronic noses (e-noses) and tongues (e-tongues), poses issues in sensory feature extraction and fusion, drift compensation and pattern recognition, especially when high reliability is required. In particular, in order to achieve effective results, the pattern recognition system must be ca...
