Advances in the development of entry inhibitors for sialic-acid-targeting viruses

Francesco Stellacci, Özgün Kocabiyik, Matteo Gasbarri

Over the past decades, several antiviral drugs have been developed to treat a range of infections. Yet the number of treatable viral infections is still limited, and resistance to current drug regimens is an ever-growing problem. Therefore, additional stra ...

HIV-1 and human genetic variation

Jacques Fellay

Over the past four decades, research on the natural history of HIV infection has described how HIV wreaks havoc on human immunity and causes AIDS. HIV host genomic research, which aims to understand how human genetic variation affects our response to HIV i ...

Extracellular vesicle- and particle-mediated communication shapes innate and adaptive immune responses

Intercellular communication among immune cells is vital for the coordination of proper immune responses. Extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) act as messengers in intercellular communication, with important consequences for target cell and organ phy ...

Growth differentiation factor 15 protects against the aging-mediated systemic inflammatory response in humans and mice

Johan Auwerx, Jun Yong Kim, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Dongryeol Ryu

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging-mediated inflammatory responses, leading to metabolic deterioration, development of insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an important mitokine generated in r ...

Tweaking DNA of myeloid cells curbs cancer spread

Michele De Palma, Ali Ghasemi

Blood cells called myeloid cells can facilitate metastasis - the spread of a tumour to distant organs. Taming these cells with drugs that alter the chemical structure of their DNA limits metastasis in mice. ...

Neutrophils suppress tumor-infiltrating T cells in colon cancer via matrix metalloproteinase-mediated activation of TGF beta

Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, George Coukos, Marc-Olivier Sauvain, Mauro Delorenzi, Amber Dawn Bowler, Markus Germann

High T-cell infiltration in colorectal cancer (CRC) correlates with a favorable disease outcome and immunotherapy response. This, however, is only observed in a small subset of CRC patients. A better understanding of the factors influencing tumor T-cell re ...

Modeling hematopoietic stem cell dynamics in bioengineered niches

Sonja Giger

Bone marrow transplantation is a well-established medical procedure for the treatment of various hematologic diseases. However, the relatively low number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that can be harvested, especially from umbilical cord blood, limits ...

Targeted protein degradation through cytosolic delivery of monobody binders using bacterial toxins

Oliver Hantschel, Nadine Eliane Schmit, Katyayanee Neopane

Monobodies are small engineered binding proteins that, upon expression in cells, can inhibit signaling of cytosolic oncoproteins with outstanding selectivity. Efficacy may be further increased by inducing degradation of monobody targets through fusion to t ...

Antigens reversibly conjugated to a polymeric glyco-adjuvant induce protective humoral and cellular immunity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Xavier Fredy René Quaglia-Thermes, Melody Swartz, Giacomo Olimpio Diaceri, Sachiko Hirosue, Laura Jeanbart, David Scott Wilson, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi, Michal Mateusz Raczy, Ruyi Wang

Fully effective vaccines for complex infections must elicit a diverse repertoire of antibodies (humoral immunity) and CD8+ T-cell responses (cellular immunity). Here, we present a synthetic glyco-adjuvant named p(Man-TLR7), which, when conjugated to antige ...

Targeting small molecule drugs to T cells with antibody-directed cell-penetrating gold nanoparticles

Francesco Stellacci, Ahmet Bekdemir, Ye Yang

We sought to develop a nanoparticle vehicle that could efficiently deliver small molecule drugs to target lymphocyte populations. The synthesized amphiphilic organic ligand-protected gold nanoparticles (amph-NPs) were capable of sequestering large payloads ...
