Nanocarrier delivery has huge potential in agriculture; however, there are significant scientific and societal barriers to overcome. In this Review, the authors explore the state of the field, what lessons can be learned from nanomedicine, and discuss what scientific and societal issues need to be ...
Innate or nonspecific defenses (generalized defenses that provide resistance without recognizing specific pathogens) include anatomical barriers such as skin and mucosal membranes, antimicrobial soluble proteins (e.g., complement, lysozyme), and phagocytic cells that scavenge extracellular macromolecules. The ...

The immune response includes two stages, innate immunity and adaptive immunity. The first one comprises physical and chemical barriers and the action of cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer cells (NKs), neutrophils and molecules such as cytokines, interleukins (ILs), ...

regulation of blood pressure and fluid homeostasis [85], it performs as an immune system modulator as well. Ang II can initiate inflammation by indirect promotion of vascular permeability and the recruitment of inflammatory cells [86]. Ang II may also activate both innate and adaptive immunity [...
Recent work using advancedin vivoimaging, computational modelling and animal models has identified barriers in the TME that hinder therapy and promote tumour progression. Under pathological conditions, remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) leads to fibre alignment, bundling and stiffening, which ...
