The Black cells phenotype is caused by a point mutation in the Drosophila pro-phenoloxidase 1 gene that triggers melanization and hematopoietic defects

Bruno Lemaitre, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Olivier Binggeli, Lise Bertin

Melanization contributes to arthropod-specific innate immunity through deposition of melanin at wound sites or around parasites, with concomitant release of microbicidal reactive oxygen species. Melanization requires sequential activation of proteolytic en ...

Modes of antigen presentation by lymph node stromal cells and their immunological implications

Sachiko Hirosue

Antigen presentation is no longer the exclusive domain of cells of hematopoietic origin. Recent works have demonstrated that lymph node stromal cell (LNSC) populations, such as fibroblastic reticular cells, lymphatic and blood endothelial cells, not only p ...

miR-135a Inhibits Cancer Stem Cell-Driven Medulloblastoma Development by Directly Repressing Arhgef6 Expression

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and play crucial roles in relevant biological and pathological processes. Here we investigated the putative role of miRNAs in modulating the tumor-initiatin ...

Overcoming immunological barriers in regenerative medicine

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

Regenerative therapies that use allogeneic cells are likely to encounter immunological barriers similar to those that occur with transplantation of solid organs and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Decades of experience in clinical transplantati ...

Dual-regulated Lentiviral Vector for Gene Therapy of X-linked Chronic Granulomatosis

Didier Trono

Regulated transgene expression may improve the safety and efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy. Clinical trials for X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) employing gammaretroviral vectors were limited by insertional oncogenesis o ...

In vitro Fate Mapping of Single Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Aline Roch

The in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for clinical applications is hampered by a rapid loss of HSC blood reconstitution capability in culture. While these rare cells can be stimulated to massively proliferate, cell divisions mostly resul ...

Genetic engineering of hematopoiesis for targeted IFN-α delivery inhibits breast cancer progression

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment represents a major hurdle to cancer therapy. We developed a gene transfer strategy into hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to target transgene expression to tumor-infiltrating monocytes/macrophages. Using a combina ...

Conditional Deletion of Ferritin H in Mice Reduces B and T Lymphocyte Populations

Liviu Vanoaica, Maike Jaworski

The immune system and iron availability are intimately linked as appropriate iron supply is needed for cell proliferation, while excess iron, as observed in hemochromatosis, may reduce subsets of lymphocytes. We have tested the effects of a ferritin H gene ...

The role of recruited bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in the establishment of the tumor stroma and a growth-supportive environment

Jean-Paul Abbühl

The Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) is a self-renewing multipotent progenitor originally found in the bone marrow. It has drawn strong interest from translational research because of the multipotency of MSCs, their immunosuppression, their intrinsic homing and ...

Innovative strategy of corneal epithelium regeneration using fabricated soft contact lens containing cavities for stem cells transplantation

Julien Graber

Transplantation of donor cornea is widely performed with a high success rate to treat patients with impaired corneal transparency. However the limited number of donors has led scientists to search for new technologies and treatments, including stem cell th ...
