Boosting subdominant neutralizing antibody responses with a computationally designed epitope-focused immunogen

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Sai Reddy, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Fabian Sesterhenn, Stéphane Rosset, Che Yang, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Sabrina Susan Vollers

Throughout the last several decades, vaccination has been key to prevent and eradicate infectious diseases. However, many pathogens (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], influenza, dengue, and others) have resisted vaccine development efforts, largely ...

On machine learning force fields for metallic nanoparticles

Kevin Rossi

Machine learning algorithms have recently emerged as a tool to generate force fields which display accuracies approaching the ones of the ab-initio calculations they are trained on, but are much faster to compute. The enhanced computational speed of machin ...

Broad-spectrum non-toxic antiviral nanoparticles with a virucidal inhibition mechanism

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Ahmet Bekdemir, Valeria Cagno, Emma-Rose Janecek, Samuel Thomas Jones, Marie Mueller

Viral infections kill millions yearly. Available antiviral drugs are virus-specific and active against a limited panel of human pathogens. There are broad-spectrum substances that prevent the first step of virus–cell interaction by mimicking heparan sulfat ...

Oxidation-sensitive polymersomes as vaccine nanocarriers enhance humoral responses against Lassa virus envelope glycoprotein

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Clara Galan Navarro, Stefan Kunz

Lassa virus (LASV) causes severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality, yet no vaccine currently exists. Antibodies targeting viral attachment proteins are crucial for protection against many viral infections. However, the envelope glycoprotein (GP) 1 of L ...

Evaluation of oxidation-sensitive polymersomes as vaccine nanocarriers to enhance humoral responses against arenavirus envelope glycoproteins

Clara Galan Navarro

Vaccines currently represent one of the most effective means to control and prevent infectious diseases affecting humans and animals and have dramatically improved public health, quality of life, and life expectancy. Over the last years several conceptual ...

Critical dynamics in population vaccinating behavior

Marcel Salathé, Sharada Prasanna Mohanty

Vaccine refusal can lead to renewed outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases and even delay global eradication. Vaccinating decisions exemplify a complex, coupled system where vaccinating behavior and disease dynamics influence one another. Such systems ...

Broad-spectrum Antiviral Nanoparticles : a morphological CryoEM Study on the Interaction of Nanoparticles and Viruses

Marie Müller

Viral infections affect millions of people every year, yet broad-spectrum virucidal therapies are not available. Antiviral substances in current use act on specific viral mechanisms against only a small number of viruses. Virustatic materials interfere wit ...

Engineering nanoparticle-based vaccines: Implications for the quality of humoral and cellular immunity

Marcela Rincón-Restrepo

Vaccination is undoubtedly a major success in modern medicine. Yet, today there are pathogens for which no licensed or fully protective vaccines have been created. Development of vaccines based on subunit components has proven to be a safe and cost effecti ...

Contact angle and adsorption energies of nanoparticles at the air-liquid interface determined by neutron reflectivity and molecular dynamics

Francesco Stellacci, Javier Reguera Gomez, Mauro Moglianetti, Evgeniy Ponomarev

Understanding how nanomaterials interact with interfaces is essential to control their self-assembly as well as their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. We present here an experimental approach based on neutron reflectivity (NR) that allows the ...
