De novo designed proteins: a study in engineering novel folds and functions

Proteins control nearly every facet of life on a molecular level. Proteins are formed from linear strings of amino acids, which fold into three-dimensional structures that can enact functions. Evolution has created highly efficient proteins in diverse fold ...

The role of eosinophils in breast cancer

Luisa Spisak

Eosinophils are granulocytes and belong to the innate arm of immunity. Eosinophils can be in different basal or activation states and depending on which type of activation is applied, they exert different effector functions. These multi-functional cells ha ...

Eosinophils regulate adipose tissue inflammation and sustain physical and immunological fitness in old age

Johan Auwerx, Norman Lionel Moullan

Adipose tissue eosinophils (ATEs) are important in the control of obesity-associated inflammation and metabolic disease. However, the way in which ageing impacts the regulatory role of ATEs remains unknown. Here, we show that ATEs undergo major age-related ...

Exploiting Old Pathogens to Create New Therapeutics

Nicola Harris, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery

Intestinal worms are well known for their potent immuno-modulatory capacity. In a recent study, Navarro et al. (2016) identify a secreted hookworm protein that can suppress allergic responses in both mice and humans. This represents an exciting strategy fo ...

Microbiological characterization of 3193 French dwellings of Elfe cohort children

François Gillet

Although exposure to indoor microorganisms in early life has already been associated with respiratory illness or allergy protection, only a few studies have performed standardized samplings and specific microbial analysis. Moreover, most do not target the ...

Gut Reactions: Eosinophils Add another String to Their Bow

Duncan-Bruce Sutherland

Eosinophils are found in abundance in the gut. In this issue of Immunity, Chu et al. (2014) report that eosinophil-deficient mice have impaired intestinal immunoglobulin A production, accompanied by a disrupted mucosal layer and alterations in microbiota d ...

Component-resolved diagnostic of cow’s milk allergy by immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis – matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Natalia Gasilova

Component-resolved diagnostic (CRD) of cow’s milk allergy has been performed using immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (IACE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). First, total IgE quantification in the ...

PAR2 absence completely rescues inflammation and ichthyosis caused by altered CAP1/Prss8 expression in mouse skin

Simona Frateschi, Friedrich Beermann, Anne Wilson, Roch-Philippe Charles

Altered serine protease activity is associated with skin disorders in humans and in mice. The serine protease channel-activating protease-1 (CAP1; also termed protease serine S1 family member 8 (Prss8)) is important for epidermal homeostasis and is thus in ...

Differential Expression of NLRP3 among Hematopoietic Cells

Manuel Raphael Zenger

Although the importance of the NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in health and disease is well appreciated, a precise characterization of NLRP3 expression is yet undetermined. To this purpose, we generated a knock-in ...

Attenuation of colon inflammation through activators of the retinoid X receptor (RXR)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) heterodimer: A basis for new therapeutic strategies

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Walter Wahli

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is highly expressed in the colon mucosa and its activation has been reported to protect against colitis. We studied the involvement of PPARgamma and its heterodimeric partner, the retinoid X ...
