  • Publication number: 20220184604
    Abstract: The systems, devices, and methods utilize devices configured to (i) control the loading of each channel layer and/or (ii) prevent formation of bubbles within the channels. A device may include two or more stacked layers. The two or more stacked layers may include a first layer and a second layer. The first entry region diameter of the first layer and the second entry region diameter of the second layer may be different; and/or the first exit region diameter of the first layer and the second exit region diameter of the second layer may be different; and/or one or more of the first channel dimensions (e.g., length and/or width) of the first layer and the one or more of the second channel dimensions (e.g., length and/or width) of the second layer may be different.

  • Publication number: 20210163989
    Abstract: Provided herein are recombinant AAV (rAAV) serotypes that are useful for targeting innate immune cells. In some embodiments, the rAAV are used to deliver genes encoding one or more receptors that can target the innate immune cells to diseased tissue of interest. In some aspects, the rAAV particle is a rAAV particle having a mutation in a surface-exposed amino acid, such as tyrosine, threonine, or serine, that enhances transduction of dendritic cells.
