Prediction of occult lymph node metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and the oropharynx using peritumoral Prospero homeobox protein 1 lymphatic nuclear quantification

Background. The use of lymphatic vessel density as a predictor of occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has never been reported. Methods. Staining of the specific lymphatic endothelial cells nuclear marker, PR ...

Th17 cells play critical roles in host defense and autoimmunity. Emerging data support a role for Notch signaling in Th17 cell differentiation but whether it is a positive or negative regulator remains unclear. We report here that T cell-specific deletion ...

Collecting Lymphatic Vessel Permeability Facilitates Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Distribution of Antigen to Lymph Node-Homing Adipose Tissue Dendritic Cells

Melody Swartz, Wei Wang

Collecting lymphatic vessels (CLVs), surrounded by fat and endowed with contractile muscle and valves, transport lymph from tissues after it is absorbed into lymphatic capillaries. CLVs are not known to participate in immune responses. In this study, we ob ...

Capacity Scaling of Cognitive Networks: Beyond Interference-Limited Communication

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The capacity scaling laws of two overlaid networks are investigated, which are located in the same area sharing the same wireless resources with different priorities. The primary network can be regarded as an existing communication system operated in a lic ...

Lymphatic vessels in the tumor microenvironment are known to foster tumor metastasis in many cancers, and they can undergo activation, hyperplasia, and lymphangiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment and in the tumor-draining lymph node. The mechanism unde ...

The sentinel or tumor-draining lymph node (tdLN) serves as a metastatic niche for many solid tumors and is altered via tumor-derived factors that support tumor progression and metastasis. tdLNs are often removed surgically, and therapeutic vaccines against ...

Targeting the tumor-draining lymph node with adjuvanted nanoparticles reshapes the anti-tumor immune response

Efthymia Vokali, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Susan Thomas

Accumulating evidence implicates the tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) in tumor-induced immune escape, as it drains regulatory molecules and leukocytes from the tumor microenvironment. We asked whether targeted delivery of adjuvant to the TDLN, presumably a ...

Notch Signaling Regulates Follicular Helper T Cell Differentiation

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Anne Wilson, Nicolas Fasnacht, Floriane Auderset

Follicular helper T (TFH) cells are specialized in providing help for B cell differentiation and Ab secretion. Several positive and negative regulators of TFH cell differentiation have been described but their control is not fully understood. In this study ...

Carcinogen treatment in mouse selectively expressing activated N-Ras(Q61K) in melanocytes recapitulates metastatic cutaneous melanoma development

Friedrich Beermann

The incidence of melanoma has significantly increased and a better understanding its pathogenesis and development of new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Here we describe a murine model of metastatic cutaneous melanoma using C57BL/6 mice express ...

Lack of IL-2 in PPAR-alpha deficient mice triggers allergic contact dermatitis by affecting regulatory T cells

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

The aim of the present work was to decipher the cellular basis of the immuno-regulatory role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha in cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions. After challenge with a contact allergen, we observed augmented ...
