Let mRNA Produce the Antigen First, Then Sound the Alarm: Delayed STING Adjuvant Strengthens Cancer Vaccines in Mice

The research team packaged antigen mRNA, STING protein mRNA, and a delayed-release activator into the same lipid nanoparticle, seeking to resolve the paradox in which premature activation of innate immunity instead reduces antigen production; the benefits in tumor control and survival currently remain limited to mouse experiments.

Unlocking a Toxic Payload Inside Cancer Cells Without Antibodies: Immunoproteasome-Activated Prodrug Shrinks Lung Tumors in Mice

The research team used the more active immunoproteasome inside cancer cells as a switch to selectively release the potent cytotoxic molecule MMAE. Tumors in mice shrank markedly, with good short-term tolerability, but hurdles involving drug distribution, immune safety, and the therapeutic window remain before human trials can begin.
