Unlocking Hidden Potential: Exploring the Complexities of Signaling in Immune Cell Activation to Optimize CAR Therapy

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are synthetic, transmembrane proteins that trigger immune cell signaling following their engagement. They have been first utilized in T cells and later in natural killer (NK) cells to redirect their cytotoxicity toward a s ...

Sensing serotonin secreted from human serotonergic neurons using aptamer-modified nanopipettes

Nako Nakatsuka, Dmitry Momotenko

The serotonergic system in the human brain modulates several physiological processes, and altered serotonergic neurotransmission has been implicated in the neuropathology of several psychiatric disorders. The study of serotonergic neurotransmission in psyc ...

Estimating the Readily-Releasable Vesicle Pool Size at Synaptic Connections in the Neocortex

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Natali Barros Zulaica, Giuseppe Chindemi

Previous studies based on the 'Quantal Model' for synaptic transmission suggest that neurotransmitter release is mediated by a single release site at individual synaptic contacts in the neocortex. However, recent studies seem to contradict this hypothesis ...

Microfluidics-based immunofluorescence for fast staining of ALK in lung adenocarcinoma

Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Benjamin Pelz, Saska Brajkovic

BackgroundAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a key oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma patients and its fusion proteins are routinely assessed. The microfluidic tissue processor (MTP) device is based on a chip-confined low-volume technology allowing f ...

A preclinical model for identifying rats at risk of alcohol use disorder

Pierre Magistretti, Benjamin Boutrel

Alcohol use is one of the world's leading causes of death and disease, although only a small proportion of individuals develop persistent alcohol use disorder (AUD). The identification of vulnerable individuals prior to their chronic intoxication remains o ...

Role of ERK1/2 activation and nNOS uncoupling on endothelial dysfunction induced by lysophosphatidylcholine

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini

Background and aims: Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) - a main component of oxidized LDL -is involved in endothelial dysfunction that precedes atherosclerosis, with an increased superoxide anions and a reduced NO production via endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) ...

Exploiting lymphatic vessels for immunomodulation: Rationale, opportunities, and challenges

Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin

Lymphatic vessels are the primary route of communication from peripheral tissues to the immune system; as such, they represent an important component of local immunity. In addition to their transport functions, new immunomodulatory roles for lymphatic vess ...

Learning spatio-temporal patterns in the presence of input noise using phase-change memristors

Stanislaw Andrzej Wozniak, Evangelos Eleftheriou, Angeliki Pantazi

Neuromorphic systems increasingly attract research interest owing to their ability to provide biologically inspired methods of computing, alternative to the classic von Neumann architecture. In these systems, computing relies on spike-based communication b ...

Folding and Endocytosis of Anthrax Toxin Receptors

Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of the infectious disease anthrax. The disease is caused after taking up the spores by either inhalation, ingestion or through skin lesion. They then germinate inside the body and start secreting the tripartite ant ...

Lymphatic vessels regulate immune microenvironments in human and murine melanoma

Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi

Lymphatic remodeling in tumor microenvironments correlates with progression and metastasis, and local lymphatic vessels play complex and poorly understood roles in tumor immunity. Tumor lymphangiogenesis is associated with increased immune suppression, yet ...
