Exploring the role of cGAS-STING-mediated inflammation in age-associated neurodegeneration and antitumor immunity
Inflammation stands as a dynamic and intricate biological process, promoting vital defence mechanisms against harmful stimuli, including infections and injuries, to drive pathogen clearance and healing. On one hand, these responses can manifest acutely and ...
EPFL2024High-affinity peptides developed against calprotectin and their application as synthetic ligands in diagnostic assays
Christian Heinis, Florence Pojer, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Lluc Farrera Soler, Cristina Diaz Perlas
A peptide was developed that binds to calprotectin, a marker of major inflammatory disorders, and found to be suited for diagnostic tests. The use of synthetic peptides in assays is of great interest due to their high precision, robustness and low price. C ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Investigating the effect of inflammation on the progression of B-cell lymphoma dissemination in the sentinel lymph node
Lymphomas are a group of heterogeneous blood cancers that arise from lymphocytes. The two primary clinical classifications of lymphomas are Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In particular, B-cell lymphoma refers to the malignancies ...
EPFL2023Type I IFNs link skin-associated dysbiotic commensal bacteria to pathogenic inflammation and angiogenesis in rosacea
Alessio Mylonas, Yichen Wang, Jiaqi Chen
Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with a fluctuating course of excessive inflammation and apparent neovascularization. Microbial dysbiosis with a high density of Bacillus oleronius and increased activity of kallikrein 5, which cleaves c ...
AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC2023The combined impact of persistent infections and human genetic variation on C-reactive protein levels
Jacques Fellay, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Clara Bonnet
Multiple human pathogens establish chronic, sometimes life-long infections. Even if they are often latent, these infections can trigger some degree of local or systemic immune response, resulting in chronic low-grade inflammation. There remains an incomple ...
BMC2022The interplay between human genetic variation, chronic inflammation and persistent infection: relevance for cardiovascular morbidity
Contemporary genomic approaches allow us to seek answers to biological questions that were previously out of reach. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic polymorphisms associated with human diseases, providing new insight ...
EPFL2022FOXC2 controls adult lymphatic endothelial specialization, function, and gut lymphatic barrier preventing multiorgan failure
Mauro Delorenzi, Alexis Rapin, Dominique Velin, Esther Bovay, François Renevey
The mechanisms maintaining adult lymphatic vascular specialization throughout life and their role in coordinating inter-organ communication to sustain homeostasis remain elusive. We report that inactivation of the mechanosensitive transcription factor Foxc ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2021Neonatal-Onset Familial Mediterranean Fever in an Infant with Human Parainfluenza Virus-4 Infection
Unusual, severe infections or inflammatory episodes in newborns and infants are largely unexplained and often attributed to immature immune responses. Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are increasingly recognized as the etiology of life-threatening inflammat ...
KARGER2021Growth differentiation factor 15 protects against the aging-mediated systemic inflammatory response in humans and mice
Johan Auwerx, Jun Yong Kim, Dongryeol Ryu, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne
Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging-mediated inflammatory responses, leading to metabolic deterioration, development of insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an important mitokine generated in r ...
2020Identification and characterisation of small-molecule inhibitors targeting STING
The recognition of pathogen-derived nucleic acids is a critical mechanism by which the innate immune system detects viral infection. Upon activation, nucleic acid sensors initiate the expression of type I interferons and other inflammatory mediators, subse ...
