Immunization with peptide encapsulated within synthetic spores activates T cell responses and reduces tumor growth | mBio Effective delivery of antigens to the immune system is essential for activating the adaptive immune system. Synthetic Spore Husk-Encased Lipids (SSHELs) are synthetic bacterial spore-like particles, w...

Immunization with peptides can elicit antigen-specific T cell responses, but they're not widely used because they are poorly immunogenic and are rapidly cleared. Domenico D'Atri solves this by using our "SSHEL" platform (synthetic bacterial spores) .

This is one of my fav bac cell div papers. It's remarkable how much we've learned about cytokinesis in the past decade, and how much we still don't know. This paper harmonizes many of the disagreements in the field, like what limits construction rates (1/4)
