    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano to-micrometer-sized sacs that are released by almost all animal and plant cells and act as intercellular communicators by transferring their cargos between the source and target cells. As a safe and scalable alternative to conditioned medium-derived EVs, milk-derived EVs (miEVs) have recently gained a great deal of popularity. Numerous studies have shown that miEVs have intrinsic therapeutic actions that can treat diseases and enhance human health. Additionally, they can be used as natural drug carriers and novel classes of biomarkers. However, due to the complexity of the milk, the successful translation of miEVs from benchtop to bedside still faces several unfilled gaps, especially a lack of standardized protocols for the isolation of high-purity miEVs. In this work, by comprehensively reviewing the bovine miEVs studies, we provide an overview of current knowledge and research on miEVs while highlighting their challenges and enormous promise as a novel class of theranostics. It is hoped that this study will pave the way for clinical applications of miEVs by addressing their challenges and opportunities.

    Abstract Regulatory T (Treg) cells are heterogeneous immune cell populations residing in the thymus and peripheral lymphatic tissues. This immune cell plays a central and critical role in maintaining immune tolerance against undesirable immune responses. Treg cells' phenotypic heterogeneity caused by different pathological conditions makes their identification and differentiation from non-suppressive T cells difficult. On the other hand, using nonspecific markers and variable isolation panels leads to undesirable outcomes. There are a variety of markers to identify functional Treg cells, including CD25, FOXP3, and CTLA-4, as well as the epigenetic signature of forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), which can be used for both natural and induced Treg cells. Phenotypic heterogeneity is a major concern in Treg purification when using nonspecific markers, which can be addressed by utilizing suitable isolation panels designed for different purposes. This review presents a clinical framework for Treg detection and isolation, focusing on Treg markers such as CD25, FOXP3, CTLA-4, CD127, GPA-33, and TSDR demethylation to design Treg isolation panels suitable for different Treg therapy purposes. The current review also highlights new reliable Treg markers applicable for different purposes.

    Abstract As an interesting cancer immunotherapy approach, cancer vaccines have been developed to deliver tumor antigens and adjuvants to antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Although the safety and easy production shifted the vaccine designing platforms toward the subunit vaccines, their efficacy is limited due to inefficient vaccine delivery. Nanotechnology-based vaccines, called nanovaccines, address the delivery limitations through co-delivery of antigens and adjuvants into lymphoid organs and APCs and their intracellular release, leading to cross-presentation of antigens and induction of potent anti-tumor immune responses. Although the nanovaccines, either as encapsulating agents or biomimetic nanoparticles, exert the desired anti-tumor activities, there is evidence that the mixing formulation to form nanocomplexes between antigens and adjuvants based on the electrostatic interactions provokes high levels of immune responses owing to Ags' availability and faster release. Here, we summarized the various platforms for developing cancer vaccines and the advantages of using delivery systems. The cancer nanovaccines, including nanoparticle-based and biomimetic-based nanovaccines, are discussed in detail. Finally, we focused on the nanocomplexes formation between antigens and adjuvants as promising cancer nanovaccine platforms.

    Abstract Breast cancer, as a heterogeneous disease, includes a wide range of pathological and clinical behaviors. Current treatment protocols, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone replacement therapy, are mainly associated with poor response and high rate of recurrence. Therefore, more efforts are needed to develop alternative therapies for this type of cancer. Immunotherapy, as a novel strategy in cancer treatment, has a potential in treating breast cancer patients. Although breast cancer has long been considered problematic to treat with immunotherapy, as it is immunologically "cold," numerous newer preclinical and clinical reports now recommend that immunotherapy has the capability to treat breast cancer patients. In this review, we highlight the different immunotherapy strategies in breast cancer treatment.

    Abstract The number of viral particles required for oncolytic activity of measles virus (MV) can be more than a million times greater than the reported amount for vaccination. The aim of the current study is to find potential genes and signaling pathways that may be involved in the high-titer production of MV. In this study, a systems biology approach was considered including collection of gene expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, obtaining differentially expressed genes (DEGs), performing gene ontology, functional enrichment analyses, and topological analyses on the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Then, to validate the in-silico data, total RNA was isolated from five cell lines, and full-length cDNA from template RNA was synthesized. Subsequently, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR) was employed. We identified five hub genes, including RAC1, HSP90AA1, DNM1, LTBP1, and FSTL1 associated with the enhancement in MV titer. Pathway analysis indicated enrichment in PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, axon guidance, proteoglycans in cancer, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesion, and calcium signaling pathways. Upon verification by RT-qPCR, the relative expression of candidate genes was generally consistent with our bioinformatics analysis. Hub genes and signaling pathways may be involved in understanding the pathological mechanisms by which measles virus manipulates host factors in order to facilitate its replication. RAC1, HSP90AA1, DNM1, LTBP1, and FSTL1 genes, in combination with genetic engineering techniques, will allow the direct design of high-throughput cell lines to answer the required amounts for the oncolytic activity of MV.

    Abstract Introduction: A variety of key human physiological processes rely on angiogenesis, ranging from reproduction and fetal growth to wound healing and tissue repair. Furthermore, this process significantly contributes to tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis. As the strongest inducer of angiogenesis, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR) are targets of therapeutic research for blocking pathological angiogenesis.
    Objective: Preventing the interaction between VEGF and VEGFR2 by a peptide is a promising strategy for developing antiangiogenic drug candidates. This study was aimed at designing and evaluating VEGF-targeting peptides using
    Methods: The VEGF binding site of VEGFR2 was considered a basis for peptide design. The interaction of VEGF and all three peptides derived from VEGFR2 were analyzed using ClusPro tools. In a complex with VEGF, the peptide with a higher docking score was evaluated to confirm its stability using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The gene coding for the selected peptide was cloned and expressed in
    Results: Among three peptides, the peptide with the best docking pose and the highest affinity for VEGF was selected for further studies. Then the stability of the peptide was confirmed over the 100 ns MD simulation. After
    Conclusion: In summary, the selected peptide demonstrated a promising inhibitory effect on human umbilical vein endothelial cells that could be a valuable anti-angiogenic candidate for further assessment. Additionally, these

    Abstract Background: Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) is an integral component of supra- and subgingival biofilms, especially more prevalent in subgingival areas during both periodontal health and disease.
    Aims: In this review, we explore the physical, metabolic, and genetic interactions that influence the role of F. nucleatum in the formation of mixed oral biofilms. The role of F. nucleatum in antibiotic resistance in oral biofilms was discussed and some therapeutic strategies were proposed.
    Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Web of Science were extensively searched for English-language reports.
    Results: F. nucleatum-derived proteins such as RadD, Fap2, FomA, and CmpA are involved in direct interactions contributing to biofilm formation, while autoinducer-2 and putrescine are involved in metabolic interactions. Both groups are essential for the formation and persistence of oral biofilms. This study highlights the clinical relevance of targeted interactions of F. nucleatum in supra- and subgingival oral biofilms.
    Conclusions: By focusing on these interactions, researchers and clinicians can develop more effective strategies to prevent biofilm-related disease and reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance. Further research in this area is warranted to explore the potential therapeutic interventions that can be derived from understanding the interactions of F. nucleatum in oral biofilm dynamics.

    Abstract Oncolytic adenoviruses (OAds), engineered Ads preferentially infect and lyse tumor cells, have attracted remarkable attention as immunotherapy weapons for the treatment of various malignancies. Despite hopeful successes in preclinical investigations and translation into clinical phases, they face some challenges that thwart their therapeutic effectiveness, including low infectivity of cancer cells, liver sequestration, pre-existing neutralizing antibodies, physical barriers to the spread of Ads, and immunosuppressive TME. Nanotechnology and nano-sized tools provide several advantages to overcome these limitations of OAds. Nano-sized tools could improve the therapeutic efficacy of OAds by enhancing infectivity and cellular uptake, targeting and protecting from pre-existing immune responses, masking and preventing liver tropism, and co-delivery with other therapeutic agents. Herein, we reviewed the constructs of various OAds and their application in clinical trials, as well as the limitations they have faced. Furthermore, we emphasized the potential applications of nanotechnology to solve the constraints of OAds to improve their anti-tumor activities.
