Tumor-specific cytolytic CD4 T cells mediate immunity against human cancer

Hatice Altug, Alexander Mathis, George Coukos, Xiaokang Li, Yen-Cheng Liu, David Gfeller, Pedro Romero, Alexandre Harari, Amélie Cachot, Margaux Saillard, Georg Alexander Rockinger

CD4 T cells have been implicated in cancer immunity for their helper functions. Moreover, their direct cytotoxic potential has been shown in some patients with cancer. Here, by mining single-cell RNA-seq datasets, we identified CD4 T cell clusters displayi ...

Enhanced Phenotype Definition for Precision Isolation of Precursor Exhausted Tumor-Infiltrating CD8 T Cells

Pedro Romero, Amaia Martinez Usatorre

In the context of adoptive T cell transfer (ACT) for cancer treatment, it is crucial to generate in vitro large amounts of tumor-specific CD8 T cells with high potential to persist in vivo. PD-1, Tim3, and CD39 have been proposed as markers of tumor-specif ...

The NAD-Booster Nicotinamide Riboside Potently Stimulates Hematopoiesis through Increased Mitochondrial Clearance

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Lütolf, Bart Deplancke, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, George Coukos, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Loïc Tauzin, Dongryeol Ryu, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Pedro Romero, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Mukul Girotra, Joanna Ratajczak, Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal, Nicola Vannini, Pernille Yde Rainer, Gennady Nikitin, Federico Sizzano, Simone Ragusa, Vincent Trachsel, Sonja Giger, Shanti Rojas-Sutterlin, Yannick Lionel Yersin, Martin Ehrbar

It has been recently shown that increased oxidative phosphorylation, as reflected by increased mitochondrial activity, together with impairment of the mitochondrial stress response, can severely compromise hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration. Here w ...

Piezoresistive Membrane Surface Stress Sensors for Characterization of Breath Samples of Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Terunobu Akiyama, Frédéric Loizeau, Pedro Romero, Christoph Gerber

For many diseases, where a particular organ is affected, chemical by-products can be found in the patient's exhaled breath. Breath analysis is often done using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, but interpretation of results is difficult and time-co ...

Insights into the thermo-mechanics of orthogonal nanometric machining

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Pedro Romero

The fabrication of high precision miniaturized components in micro- and nano-technologies requires a deep understanding of the physical mechanisms governing the nanomachining process. To aid with this need, the current article employs molecular dynamics to ...

Regulation of Monocyte Functional Heterogeneity by miR-146a and Relb

Etienne Meylan, Pedro Romero, Martin Etzrodt

Monocytes serve as a central defense system against infection and injury but can also promote pathological inflammatory responses. Considering the evidence that monocytes exist in at least two subsets committed to divergent functions, we investigated wheth ...

Friction at the tool-chip interface during orthogonal nanometric machining

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Pedro Romero

Understanding the unfolding of friction between the tool and the generated chip is of fundamental importance to nanometric machining processes. To this end, this paper investigates the influence of tool geometry, lattice orientation, machining velocity and ...

Exhaustion of tumor-specific CD8(+) T cells in metastases from melanoma patients

Bart Deplancke, Pedro Romero, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Nathalie Rufer, Lukas Baitsch

In chronic viral infections, CD8(+) T cells become functionally deficient and display multiple molecular alterations. In contrast, only little is known of self- and tumor-specific CD8(+) T cells from mice and humans. Here we determined molecular profiles o ...

Study of Nanometric Machining in Crystalline Solids Using Molecular Dynamics

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Pedro Romero

Due to the current interest in nanotechnology, there is a strong desire for comprehensive knowledge on the underlying mechanisms governing the nanometric machining process. This article employs molecular dynamics to study nanomachining in ductile crystalli ...
