Abstract: Provided herein are pH-responsive nanovaccines (NVs) that stimulate the immune system. The NVs comprise nano- or micro-particles to which CDN-modified i-motif DNA is attached. When endocytosed within a subject to whom they are delivered, the change in pH to an acidic environment cause the CDNs to be released from the NVs. The CDNs are STING (stimulator of interferon genes) agonists and after their release, they bind to and activate STING, a critical step in stimulating the immune system. The NVs are used e.g. for cancer immunotherapy, to treat viral infections and/or as vaccine adjuvants.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods for a research organization compute interests of clients in research work product, and, using deep learning and embedding techniques, digitalize client interest profiles and research content entities. A first machine learning model is trained to compute client-interest scores from, at least in part, client engagement data. The computer system is also configured to compute embeddings for each of the clients and embeddings for each of certain research topics. The embeddings are computed using a second machine learning model, such as deep artificial neural network, such that embeddings for clients with similar interests are close, distance-wise, in a client embedding space, and such that embeddings for certain research topics with similar client engagements are close, distance-wise, in a research topic embedding space. The second machine learning model can be trained with both positive and negative training samples generated from the client-interest scores.
