Advanced materials—ranging from semiconductors and quantum materials to biomaterials and high-performance nanocomposites provide active functionalities for critical technologies in sectors such as energy, healthcare and ICT. By enabling atomic-level engineering, fundamental materials breakthroughs will be achieved, that will pave the way for more efficient devices, less resource-intensive industrial processes, and products with a lower environmental impact.

Abstract Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a keystone pathogen in chronic periodontal disease, primarily colonizing the oral mucosa. Current therapeutic strategies are limited in efficacy, emphasizing the need for preventive vaccination approaches capable of eliciting both systemic and mucosal immunity. This study evaluated the immunogenicity of an intranasal protein-based vaccine targeting P. gingivalis.

Human adenovirus (HAdV) is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus [1] primarily transmitted through the respiratory tract [2]. It is highly contagious and can cause significant outbreaks [3]. The population, particularly children and immunocompromised individuals [4], generally lacks immunity to HAdV, increasing the risk of severe adenoviral pneumonia and potential fatalities [5].
