Significance Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has produced promising results in clinical trials but been challenged by the inability to control engineered cells once infused into patient. Here we present a generalizable method of controlling CAR-T using peptide-engrafted antibody-based molecular switches that act as bridge between target and cell. We show specific for CD19 govern activity, tissue-homing, cytokine release, phenotype switchable dose-titratable manner xenograft...

Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR‐T) cells have demonstrated promising results against hematological malignancies, but encountered significant challenges in translation to solid tumors. To overcome these hurdles, we developed a switchable CAR‐T cell platform which the activity of engineered is controlled by dosage an antibody‐based switch.

Targeted protein delivery with nanocarriers holds significant potential to enhance therapeutic outcomes by precisely directing proteins specific organs or tissues. However, the complex interactions between and biological environment pose considerable challenges in designing effective targeted vehicles. In this study, we address challenge leveraging DNA-barcoded high-throughput screening. We construct a nanocapsule library via in-situ polymerization, incorporating various monomers create...
Enzyme-responsive protein nanocapsules are synthesized to release their cargoes in response specific enzymes secreted certain cellular events with both specificity and a controlled rate by composition tuning. The unique nanocapsule structures protect the encapsulated proteins during hydrogel synthesis, providing new direction for responsive delivery according or local environment.

As service to our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by authors....
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an inherited dominant muscular caused by expanded CTG·CAG triplet repeats in the 3' untranslated region of DMPK1 gene, which produces a toxic gain-of-function CUG RNA. It has been shown that severity disease symptoms, age onset and progression are related to length repeats. However, mechanism(s) triplet-repeat instability not fully understood. Herein, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from DM1 Huntington's patient fibroblasts. We...
Antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) offer promising approaches for cancer treatment. Here, we describe an ADC constructed by conjugating anti-PD-L1 THIOMAB with a bifunctional immunomodulator D18 via redox-cleavable linker. The resulting HE-S2 not only triggers potent antitumor response blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction activating Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) signaling pathway but also upregulates its targeted PD-L1 expression epigenetic regulation and/or...
Currently, the clinical application of protein/peptide therapeutics is mainly limited to modulation diseases in extracellular spaces. Intracellular targets are hardly accessed, owing largely endosomal entrapment internalized proteins/peptides. Here, we report a strategy design and construct peptides that enable endosome-to-cytosol delivery based on an extension "histidine switch" principle. By substituting Arg/Lys residues cationic cell-penetrating (CPPs) with histidine, obtained...

Abstract A hypoxia‐responsive fluorescence probe of amphiphilic PEGylated azobenzene caged tetraphenylethene (TPE) for tumor cell imaging is reported; it possesses excellent solubility in aqueous medium due to the easy formation micelles by self‐assembly. The resonance energy transfer (FRET) process ensures that azobenene AIE fluorogen quenched efficiently. When cultured with cells, azo‐bond reduced under hypoxia conditions and recovers dramatically. Besides using UV light, NIR light can...
Photoirradiation of the PC4AP linker generates an active intermediate that reacts intramolecularly with a primary amine on carrier peptide/protein, leading to rapid release drug without generating any toxic side products.
Intracellular delivery of biologicals such as peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids presents a great opportunity for innovative therapeutics. However, the endosome entrapment remains major bottleneck in intracellular biomacromolecules, largely limiting their therapeutic potential. Here, we converted cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), low molecular weight protamine (LMWP), to endosomal escape peptides (EEPs) by masking LMWP with pH-responsive counter-ionic peptide. The resulting masked CPPs...
