Improving Efficacy and Safety of Agonistic Anti-CD40 Antibody Through Extracellular Matrix Affinity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin, Martina Damo, Jun Ishihara, Kazuto Fukunaga

CD40 is an immune costimulatory receptor expressed by antigen-presenting cells. Agonistic anti-CD40 antibodies have demonstrated considerable antitumor effects yet can also elicit serious treatment-related adverse events, such as liver toxicity, including ...

Podosomes, But not the Maturation status, Determine the Protease-Dependent 3D Migration in human Dendritic cells

Romain Guiet

Dendritic cells (DC) are professional Antigen-Presenting Cells scattered throughout antigen-exposed tissues and draining lymph nodes, and survey the body for pathogens. Their ability to migrate through tissues, a 3D environment, is essential for an effecti ...

Multiple roles of lymphatic vessels in peripheral lymph node development

Borja Prat Luri, Esther Bovay, Ann-Helen Willrodt

The mammalian lymphatic system consists of strategically located lymph nodes (LNs) embedded into a lymphatic vascular network. Mechanisms underlying development of this highly organized system are not fully understood. Using highresolution imaging, we show ...

Soft probes for bio-electrochemical imaging

Tzu-En Lin

The aim of bioimaging is to visualize properties and processes of living objects or biological samples and extracts image-related information for revealing important physical structures or map the distribution of specific biomolecules in tissues for clinic ...

Paracrine Activin-A Signaling Promotes Melanoma Growth and Metastasis through Immune Evasion

Daniel Constam, Susanna Eveliina Kallioinen, Olivier Andreas Dubey, Patrick Mueller

The secreted growth factor Activin-A of the transforming growth factor beta family and its receptors can promote or inhibit several cancer hallmarks including tumor cell proliferation and differentiation, vascularization, lymphangiogenesis and inflammation ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles for diagnosis and therapy of lymph node metastases

Débora Bonvin

This thesis presents the synthesis, coating and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with properties especially designed for the ultimate simultaneous MRI detection and hyperthermia treatment of lymph node metastases, a combination called t ...

Precision targeting of tumor macrophages with a CD206 binding peptide

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) expressing the multi-ligand endocytic receptor mannose receptor (CD206/MRC1) contribute to tumor immunosuppression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and relapse. Here, we describe a peptide that selectively targets MRC1-express ...

Tumor lymphangiogenesis promotes T cell infiltration and potentiates immunotherapy in melanoma

Douglas Hanahan, Krisztian Homicsko, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Christopher Claude Giuseppe Tremblay, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Laura Jeanbart, Lambert Charles François Potin, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Sylvie Hauert, Natacha Anne-Sophie Bordry, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi, Elodie Da Costa, Olivier Michielin

In melanoma, vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) expression and consequent lymphangiogenesis correlate with metastasis and poor prognosis. VEGF-C also promotes tumor immunosuppression, suggesting that lymphangiogenesis inhibitors may be clinicall ...

Overexpression of the human antigen R suppresses the immediate paradoxical proliferation of melanoma cell subpopulations in response to suboptimal BRAF inhibition

Christoph Schwärzler

Tumor plasticity and the heterogeneous response of melanoma cells to targeted therapies are major limits for the long-term efficacy of this line of therapy. Targeting tumor plasticity is theoretically possible through the modulation of the expression of RN ...

Miniaturized single-cell analyses for biomedical applications

Loïc Arvind Roger Arm

Numerous diseases affecting living beings have as a cause a modification of gene expression resulting in anomalous expression of proteins in up- or down-regulated fashion, with altered functions or expression of proteins that are not present in the cell in ...
