Alpha1-antitrypsin improves survival in murine abdominal sepsis model by decreasing inflammation and sequestration of free heme

Background Excessive inflammation, hemolysis, and accumulation of labile heme play an essential role in the pathophysiology of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in sepsis. Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), an acute phase protein with heme binding capacity, i ...

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

Michele De Palma

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 ...

Induction of a strong and long-lasting neutralizing immune response by dPreS1-TLR2 agonist nanovaccine against hepatitis B virus

Myriam Isabelle Lamrayah

Hepatitis B virus remains a major medical burden with more than 250 million chronically infected patients worldwide and 900,000 deaths each year, due to the disease progression towards severe complications (cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma). Despite the ...

Human PBMCs Form Lipid Droplets in Response to Spike Proteins

Florian Maria Wurm, Guillaume Raussin

Intracellular lipid droplets (LDs) can accumulate in response to inflammation, metabolic stresses, and other physiological/pathological processes. Herein, we investigated whether spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 induce LDs in human peripheral blood mononuclear ...

Live-seq enables temporal transcriptomic recording of single cells

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Orane Josiane Guillaume-Gentil, Riccardo Dainese, Wanze Chen, Pernille Yde Rainer, Magda Zachara, Wouter Saelens

Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has greatly advanced our ability to characterize cellular heterogeneity(1). However, scRNA-seq requires lysing cells, which impedes further molecular or functional analyses on the same cells. Here, we established Liv ...

Type 1 piliated uropathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response by binding to CD14

Kathrin Tomasek

A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability of the pathogen to evade the host's immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express type 1 pili, a pre-adapted virulence trait, to invade host epithelial cells and establish pe ...

Identification of N-glycan positional isomers by combining IMS and vibrational fingerprinting of structurally determinant CID fragments

Thomas Rizzo, Ahmed Ben Faleh, Stephan Warnke, Priyanka Bansal

While glycans are present on the surface of cells in all living organisms and play key roles in most biological processes, their isomeric complexity makes their structural characterization challenging. Of particular importance are positional isomers, for w ...

Soft cancer cells squeeze through T cell's grip

Li Tang, Armand Kurum, Yi Wang

Immune cells are exquisitely sensitive to the mechanical properties of cancer cells. Soft cancer cells can avoid immune-mediated destruction. Therapeutically targeting this mechanical immune checkpoint may enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. ...

Cryo-EM structures of a LptDE transporter in complex with Pro-macrobodies offer insight into lipopolysaccharide translocation

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni, Iwan Zimmermann, Denis Bucher

Lipopolysaccharides are major constituents of the extracellular leaflet in the bacterial outer membrane and form an effective physical barrier for environmental threats and for antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria. The last step of LPS insertion via the L ...

Role of Nimrod receptors in the Drosophila melanogaster cellular immune response

Claudia Melcarne

The use of modern molecular biology tools and simple but powerful tractable model organisms such as Drosophila has contributed significantly to our recent advances in the innate immunity field, notably phagocytosis. Since 2001, many phagocytic transmembran ...
