Abstract
Biological membranes play key roles in cell life, but their intrinsic complexity motivated the study and development of artificial lipid membranes with the primary aim to reconstitute and understand the natural functions in vitro. Porous-supported lipid membrane (pSLM) has emerged as a flexible platform for studying the surface chemistry of the cell due to their high stability and fluidity, and their ability to study the transmembrane process of the molecules. In this review, the pSLM, for the first time, to our knowledge, was divided into three types according to the way of the porous materials support the lipid membrane, containing the lipid membrane on the pores of the porous materials, the lipid membrane on both sides of the porous materials, the lipid membrane in the pores of the porous materials. All of these pSLMs were systematically elaborated from several aspects, including the substrates, formation, and characterization. Meanwhile, the advantages and disadvantages of each model membranes were summarized. Finally, suggestions for selecting appropriate pSLM and future directions in this area are discussed.

Abstract
As effective tools for public health, vaccines prevent disease by priming the body's adaptive and innate immune responses against an infection. Due to advances in understanding cancers and their relationship with the immune system, there is a growing interest in priming host immune defenses for a targeted and complete antitumor response. Nanoparticle systems have shown to be promising tools for effective antigen delivery as vaccines and/or for potentiating immune response as adjuvants. Here, we highlight relevant physiological processes involved in vaccine delivery, review recent advances in the use of nanoparticle systems for vaccines and discuss pertinent challenges to viably translate nanoparticle-based vaccines and adjuvants for public use.
