Thanks for the highlight!

[University of Illinois @UofIllinois]

#ILLINOIS researchers earned a $946K American Cancer Society grant to develop a vaccine for solid tumors like triple-negative breast cancer and glioblastoma.

“It affirms our critical cancer research,” said Carle Cancer Institute's Hau Wang.

@veiseho @profmikeking @RiceUniversity Congrats Omid! So well deserved!

[Hua Wang @WangLabUIUC]

Excited and humbled to receive the 2024 Sontag Distinguished Scientist Award. My group and I are grateful for the tremendous support from the Sontag Foundation and @IllinoisMatSE @CancerCenterIL ! We will continue our quest for therapeutic cancer vaccines and immunotherapies!

[Materials Science & Engineering at Illinois @illinoismatse]

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Hua Wang, whose critical work to fight back against deadly brain cancer by developing vaccines has earned the Distinguished Scientist Award from The Sontag Foundation. His team earned $750K for research support.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Hua Wang, who has earned $946,000 in funding as part of the American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award.

Wang's team is innovating in the medical space by developing mRNA-based cancer vaccines for treating solid tumors.

Han et al. @JHElisseeff find that the signatures of inflammation and interleukin-17 signaling (sign of type-3 immune activation) increase with injury and treatment in aged animals, providing new insight on the immune-regeneration axis.

For Immunomaterials, Park et al. @fischbcl17 @ Paszek Lab report the ability of tumor cells to utilize the mineralization of collagen in the extracellular matrix to evade the attack of natural killer cells.

In this special issue, we highlight four areas – mechanically active biomaterials, materials that actively direct the host immune response (immunomaterials), materials designed to promote tissue repair and regeneration, and dynamic materials.

[Hua Wang @WangLabUIUC]

Bo et al. discuss how immunomaterials have enabled one to skip the lengthy and costly process of identifying tumor-specific antigens, by making use of the in situ generated tumor antigens to provoke potent effector T cell response.

Pirozzi et al. provide a nice review of another class of mechanically active materials - artificial muscles - with a specific use case of cardiac assistance.

Mendez et al. @ellentroche describe a hybrid hydrogel actuator that can elicit tunable mechanoresponsive release of drug from a hydrogel layer through pneumatic actuation. https://t.co/cCmMfw4O1I

Roy et al. @ClaudiaLoebel describe a bilayer hydrogel folding system that can generate folding patterns, similar to the mucosal tissue in the epithelium of the upper respiratory airways.

For mechanically active materials, Nie et al. from the Rogers Group provide a nice review on using such materials for bio-interfaced sensors for continuous monitoring. @ProfJohnARogers
