Antibodies and IL-3 support helminth-induced basophil expansion

Nicola Harris, Mario Michael Zaiss, Manuel Kulagin, Tina Herbst

Basophils are powerful mediators of Th2 immunity and are present in increased numbers during allergic inflammation and helminth infection. Despite their ability to potentiate Th2 immunity the mechanisms regulating basophil development remain largely unknow ...

Functionalization of adhesion sites for cell attachment on a silicon microsystem

Rebekka Anker

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) are multipotent adult stem cells that are predominantly obtained from the bone marrow. MSC have a high ability to differentiate into a multitude of cell types that are very attractive for tissue engineering. To study the effect ...

Micromotion measurement around femoral stem for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty

The primary stability of cementless femoral components is crucial for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. The mechanisms which influence this stability are not yet well understood. However, mechanical environment in peri-implant tissue is know ...

TGR5 Activation Inhibits Atherosclerosis by Reducing Macrophage Inflammation and Lipid Loading

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols, Taoufiq Harach, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 has been identified as an important component of the bile acid signaling network, and its activation has been linked to enhanced energy expenditure and improved glycemic control. Here, we demonstrate that activation of T ...

Mechanisms of T Cell Development and Transformation

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

T cells are the key mediators in cell-mediated immunity. Their development and maturation involve a complex variety of interactions with nonlymphoid cell products and receptors. Highly specialized to defend against bacterial and viral infections, T cells a ...

Enhanced c-Met activity promotes G-CSF-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells via ROS signaling

Mechanisms governing stress-induced hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization are not fully deciphered. We report that during granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-induced mobilization c-Met expression and signaling are up-regulated on immature bone marro ...

Characterization of the paracrine stimulation potential of human CAP cells for cardiac repair

Xavier Adam

According to the last WHO numbers, cardiac diseases remain the first cause of death in the world. Cell therapy represents a promising approach to restore heart function. Cardiac derived adherent proliferation (CAP) cells were shown to support the heart reg ...

Expression of the leptin receptor outside of bone marrow-derived cells regulates tuberculosis control and lung macrophage MHC expression

John McKinney

Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone proposed to link nutritional status to the development of strong Th1 immunity. Because Mycobacterium tuberculosis control is affected by starvation and diabetes, we studied the role of the leptin receptor in regulating disti ...

Laser-Doppler flowmetry at large interoptode spacing in human tibia diaphysis: Monte Carlo simulations and preliminary experimental results

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is an outstanding tool to monitor blood flow in a continuous and non-invasive way. In this work, we study LDF at large interoptode spacing applied to a human bone model (i.e. tibia diaphysis). To that aim, we first performed a ...

The Cell Differentiation Status Influences the Outcome of Notch-Induced Malignancy

Caroline Poisson

The Notch signaling cascade is a well conserved pathway that regulates many aspects of embryonic development and plays a crucial role in the differentiation process and tissue homeostasis in multiple organs of adult species. Several human pathological diso ...
