SEM and STEM images highlighting the spherical morphology of photopolymerization times >12 h. The panel on the left shows an SEM image of a film before it was removed for STEM imaging. The STEM EDX image on the right introduces a green highlight to the presence of sulfur suggesting PSI. Read More

a, Scheme depicting the concept of an albumin-hitchhiking nanobody–STING agonist conjugate for cancer immunotherapy. Anti-albumin nanobodies conjugated to STING agonists bind to circulating albumin in situ, resulting in improved pharmacokinetics and increased biodistribution to tumour sites that stimulates antitumour innate and adaptive immune responses. b, Computational model of the anti-albumin… Read More
