In this special edition of the Biomedical Journal, we learn about the battle between host and influenza virus at the respiratory epithelium, and how the history of influenza pandemics has driven both major advances in the understanding of immunology and planning for future outbreaks. We also learn of a nanoparticle system that holds promise for photodynamic therapy in breast cancer. Finally, we add evidence to the debate of the safety of a minimally invasive technique for aortic valve replacement in elderly patients.
在本期《生物医学期刊》特刊中，我们了解了宿主与呼吸道上皮的流感病毒之间的斗争，以及流感大流行的历史如何推动了免疫学理解和未来疫情规划的重大进展。我们还了解到一种纳米粒子系统，该系统有望成为乳腺癌光动力疗法的一种新方法。最后，我们为老年患者主动脉瓣置换微创手术的安全性争论提供了新的证据。
