Nano-Granulated Zoledronate Reprograms Innate Immunity
2026-08-24
Chen et al. develop nano-granulated zoledronate (Nano-ZD) to redirect mevalonate-pathway modulation toward innate immune cells in draining lymph nodes. The study links CoQ depletion to altered oxidative phosphorylation and pyrimidine metabolism, showing that Nano-ZD can strengthen vaccine-induced and antitumor immunity, particularly when combined with MPLA and αPD-L1.

Cy7 NHS Ester (A8109): Practical Labeling Guide
2026-08-23
Cy7 NHS ester (SKU A8109) provides a water-soluble near-infrared dye for bioimaging workflows that require amine labeling of proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules with limited organic solvent exposure. It is appropriate for controlled in vitro conjugation and exploratory imaging, but reaction conditions, labeling density, purification, and live-animal or live-cell performance must be validated for each target.
