An autologous antigen-agnostic dendritic cell therapy that forgoes antigen loading

We developed a method for generating dendritic cell progenitors (DCPs) from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells isolated from bone marrow or blood. When engineered to express IL-12 and FLT3L, these DCPs reprogram the tumor microenvironment and elicit a ...

Cellularization across eukaryotes: Conserved mechanisms and novel strategies

Omaya Pierre Dudin

Many eukaryotes form multinucleated cells during their devel-opment. Some cells persist as such during their lifetime, others choose to cleave each nucleus individually using a specialized cytokinetic process known as cellularization. What is cellula-rizat ...

Prevention of the foreign body response to implantable medical devices by inflammasome inhibition

Stéphanie Lacour

Fibrotic scarring secondary to the foreign body reaction (FBR) generates a physical barrier obstructing the functional interaction of implantable medical devices with the host tissue. The mechanistic basis of the FBR is poorly understood, restricting the c ...

Cell-autonomous inflammation of BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancers drives both tumor-intrinsic immunoreactivity and immune resistance via STING

George Coukos, Julien Dorier, Christian Iseli, Mauro Delorenzi, Alizée Jéléna Grimm, Giovanni Ciriello, Alexandre Harari, Marco Mina

In this study, we investigate mechanisms leading to inflammation and immunoreactivity in ovarian tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). BRCA1 loss is found to lead to transcriptional reprogramming in tumor cells and cell-intrinsic inflammat ...

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

Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri, Özgün Kocabiyik

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, Dongryeol Ryu, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne

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. ...
