Human alveolar lining fl uid from the elderly promotes Mycobacterium tuberculosis intracellular growth and translocation into the cytosol of alveolar epithelial cells
Vivek Vijay Thacker, Richa Mishra
The elderly population is highly susceptible to developing respiratory diseases, including tuberculosis, a devastating disease caused by the airborne pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M.tb ) that kills one person every 18 seconds. Once M.tb reaches the ...
Elsevier Science Inc2024Exploration and modulation of mechanical cues for enhanced cancer immunotherapy
The advent of immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and adoptive transfer of cytotoxic lymphocytes, has transformed the clinical care of cancer. However, a significant proportion of patients are resistant to immunotherapy or experience re ...
EPFL2024Establishment of Reference Intervals of Blood Parameters Among the Healthy Afghan Population
Purpose: This study was designed and conducted to validate the reference values of hematological parameters for healthy adult male and female residents of Kabul city, Afghanistan. Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, the samples were collected accor ...
Albany2024Leukocyte Count and Coronary Artery Disease Events in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Longitudinal Study
Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball
Leukocyte count is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) events in the general population. Here we show that leukocytes are independently associated with CAD events in people with HIV in Switzerland, after adjusting for traditional and HIVrelated r ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC2023Biofilm formation on human immune cells is a multicellular predation strategy of Vibrio cholerae
Alexandre Louis André Persat, Sofya Mikhaleva
Biofilm formation is generally recognized as a bacterial defense mechanism against environmental threats, including antibiotics, bacteriophages, and leukocytes of the human immune system. Here, we show that for the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae, biofilm f ...
CELL PRESS2023Development of a novel Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) for its use in Natural Killer (NK) cells for cancer treatment and beyond
The use of CAR technologies has revolutionized cancer treatment. Their unprecedented efficacy against B cell malignancies has opened the doors for a lot of excitement and research in the field. These synthetic receptors are composed of an antigen recogniti ...
EPFL2023Label-free plasmonic microarray for multiplexed analysis of cells and tumor organoids
Investigating the dynamic activities of protein expression and signaling in living organisms is a crucial focus of intense research aimed at elucidating the processes that underlie disease progression and improving treatments and drug development. Resolvin ...
EPFL2023Non-invasive investigation of the morphology and optical properties of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea with optical coherence tomography
Anders Meibom, Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Sandrine Denise Françoise Bessette, Michael Kühl
The jellyfish Cassiopea largely cover their carbon demand via photosynthates produced by microalgal endosymbionts, but how holobiont morphology and tissue optical properties affect the light microclimate and symbiont photosynthesis in Cassiopea remain unex ...
ROYAL SOC2023Exploring the interplay of molecular pattern and valency for selective interactions at the bio-interface
Cell-cell communication is fundamental for immune balance. Multivalent interactions of surface receptors at immune interfaces drive specific communication, with stimulatory and inhibitory signals guiding the immune outcome. Notably, the valency, affinity, ...
