Accurate Diagnosis of Cortical and Infratentorial Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Using Accelerated Fluid and White Matter Suppression Imaging

Objectives: The precise location of multiple sclerosis (MS) cortical lesions can be very challenging at 3 T, yet distinguishing them from subcortical lesions is essential for the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Compressed sensing-accelerated fluid ...

Adjuvant-free immunization with infective filarial larvae as lymphatic homing antigen carriers

Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Sachiko Hirosue, Alexandre de Titta, Esra Güç, David Scott Wilson

Controlled infection with intestinal nematodes has therapeutic potential for preventing the symptoms of allergic and autoimmune diseases. Here, we engineered larvae of the filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis as a vaccine strategy to induce adaptive ...

IL-4R alpha-Expressing B Cells Are Required for CXCL13 Production by Fibroblastic Reticular Cells

Nicola Harris, Lalit Kumar Dubey

Adaptive type 2 immune responses against the intestinal helminth Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Hp) require the interaction of follicle-associated CXCR5(+) dendritic cells with naive T cells in the draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs). However, the source of ...

HIV-1 Vpu is a potent transcriptional suppressor of NF-κB-elicited antiviral immune responses

Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Daniel Sauter

Many viral pathogens target innate sensing cascades and/or cellular transcription factors to suppress antiviral immune responses. Here, we show that the accessory viral protein U (Vpu) of HIV-1 exerts broad immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting activatio ...

Genetic determinants of healthy human immune variance: from humoral response to microbiome diversity

Petar Scepanovic

Identifying the drivers of the observed interindividual variability of the human immune system is crucial to our understanding of infectious and immune-mediated diseases. The contribution of genetic and non-genetic factors to immunological differences betw ...

Activation of the STING-dependent type I interferon response reduces microglial reactivity and neuroinflammation

Hilal Lashuel, Ritwik Burai

Brain aging and neurodegeneration are associated with prominent microglial reactivity and activation of innate immune response pathways, commonly referred to as neuroinflammation. One such pathway, the type I interferon response, recognizes viral or mitoch ...

A Longitudinal Study of Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Elda Fischi Gomez, Alessandro Daducci, Cristina Granziera, Gunnar Krüger, Guillaume Bonnier

We explored the sensitivity of a novel diffusion MRI method i.e. “Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging”, to detect and characterize brain microstructure alterations in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients that we followed up over 2 ...

Type I Interferon Signaling Prevents IL-1 beta-Driven Lethal Systemic Hyperinflammation during Invasive Bacterial Infection of Soft Tissue

Alessandra Piersigilli

Type I interferons (IFN-Is) are fundamental for antiviral immunity, but their role in bacterial infections is contradictory and incompletely described. Streptococcus pyogenes activates IFN-I production in innate immune cells, and IFN-I receptor 1 (Ifnar1)- ...
