Deciphering the subcapsular epithelial cells in human fetal and postnatal thymus

Most papers related to thymus focus on the cortical and medullary epithelial cells whereas the subcapsular layer is ignored. In this thesis, we are providing new informations about the subcapsular thymic epithelial cells (TECs) by comparing them to cortica ...

Plasmonic nanohole array biosensor for label-free and real-time analysis of live cell secretion

Hatice Altug, Xiaokang Li, Filiz Yesilköy, Alexander Belushkin, Maria Soler Aznar, Cenk Ibrahim Özdemir

Cell secretion dynamics plays a central role in physiological and disease processes. Due to its various temporal profiles, it is essential to implement a precise detection scheme for continuous monitoring of secretion in real time. The current fluorescent ...

The selective Tie2 inhibitor rebastinib blocks recruitment and function of Tie2Hi macrophages in breast cancer and neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors

Michele De Palma, Ece Kadioglu

Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells promote tumor progression by mediating angiogenesis, tumor cell intravasation and metastasis, which can offset the effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and anti-angiogenic therapy. Here, we show that the kinase switch contro ...

Gene regulatory mechanisms underlying the intestinal innate immune response

Bart Deplancke, Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho

In the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, distinct types of cells, including epithelial cells and macrophages, collaborate to eliminate ingested pathogens while striving to preserve the commensal microbiota. The underlying innate immune response is driven b ...

Association of brain amyloidosis with pro-inflammatory gut bacterial taxa and peripheral inflammation markers in cognitively impaired elderly

Tristan Bolmont, Taoufiq Harach

The pathway leading from amyloid-b deposition to cognitive impairment is believed to be a cornerstone of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, what drives amyloid buildup in sporadic nongenetic cases of AD is still unknown. AD brains featu ...

Recent Advances in Type-2-Cell-Mediated Immunity: Insights from Helminth Infection

Nicola Harris

Type-2-cell-mediated immune responses play a critical role in mediating both host-resistance and disease-tolerance mechanisms during helminth infections. Recently, type 2 cell responses have emerged as major regulators of tissue repair and metabolic homeos ...

Neuronal regulation of type 2 innate lymphoid cells via neuromedin U

Nicola Harris, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Kathleen Shah, Tania Carvalho

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) regulate inflammation, tissue repair and metabolic homeostasis1, and are activated by host-derived cytokines and alarmins1. Discrete subsets of immune cells integrate nervous system cues2, 3, 4, but it remains unclear ...

Biodegradable scaffolds promote tissue remodeling and functional improvement in non-human primates with acute spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Isabel Laura Vollenweider

Tissue loss significantly reduces the potential for functional recovery after spinal cord injury. We previously showed that implantation of porous scaffolds composed of a biodegradable and biocompatible block copolymer of Poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid and P ...

Myeloid DLL4 Does Not Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis in LdIr(-/-) Mice

Freddy Radtke

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by liver steatosis and inflammation. Currently, the underlying mechanisms leading to hepatic inflammation are not fully understood and consequently, therapeutic options are poor. Non-alcoholic steatohep ...

Origins of brain tumor macrophages

Michele De Palma

The ontogeny of brain-tumor-associated macrophages is poorly understood. New findings indicate that both resident microglia and blood-derived monocytes generate the pool of macrophages that infiltrate brain tumors of either primary or metastatic origin. ...
