The C-type Lectin Receptors Dectin-1, MR, and SIGNR3 Contribute Both Positively and Negatively to the Macrophage Response to Leishmania infantum

Macrophages act as the primary effector cells during Leishmania infection through production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). However, how macrophage-killing mechanisms are activated during Leishmania-macrophage interact ...

Interaction of inflammation and hyperoxia in a rat model of neonatal white matter damage

Yohan Van de Looij

Intrauterine infection and inflammation are major reasons for preterm birth. The switch from placenta-mediated to lung-mediated oxygen supply during birth is associated with a sudden rise of tissue oxygen tension that amounts to relative hyperoxia in prete ...

A distinct set of synaptic-like microvesicles in atroglial cells contain VGLUT3

Mats Julius Stensrud

There is increasing evidence for vesicular release of glutamate from astrocytes. We have previously demonstrated existence of VGLUT1 on astrocytic synaptic-like microvesicles (SMLVs) in several brain regions indicating a role in astroglial glutamate releas ...

Transplanted neural stem/precursor cells instruct phagocytes and reduce secondary tissue damage in the injured spinal cord

Michele De Palma, Ferdinando Pucci, Daniela Biziato

Transplanted neural stem/precursor cells possess peculiar therapeutic plasticity and can simultaneously instruct several therapeutic mechanisms in addition to cell replacement. Here, we interrogated the therapeutic plasticity of neural stem/precursor cells ...

Learning Context Cues for Synapse Segmentation in EM Volumes

Pascal Fua, Graham Knott, Carlos Joaquin Becker, Karim Ali

We present a new approach for the automated segmentation of excitatory synapses in image stacks acquired by electron microscopy. We rely on a large set of image features specifically designed to take spatial context into account and train a classifier that ...

MiR-511-3p Modulates Genetic Programs of Tumor-Associated Macrophages

Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Ferdinando Pucci

Expression of the mannose receptor (MRC1/CD206) identifies macrophage subtypes, such as alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) and M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which are endowed with tissue-remodeling, proangiogenic, and protumoral ...

Role of the Glyoxalase System in Astrocyte-Mediated Neuroprotection

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Thierry Laroche, Jean-Marie Petit, Jiangyan Yang

The glyoxalase system is the most important pathway for the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound mainly formed as a by-product of glycolysis. MG is a major precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which ar ...

Targeting of multiple metabolites in neural cells monitored by using protein-based carbon nanotubes

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Cristina Boero, Giovanna Del Vecchio

Microdevices dedicated to monitor metabolite levels have recently enabled many applications in the field of cell analysis, to monitor cell growth and development of numerous cell lines. By combining the traditional technology used for electrochemical biose ...

Establishment of polarized microglial cells derived from mouse embryonic stem cells

Céline Ruegsegger

Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia undergo rapid activation in response to even minor pathological changes in the CNS. The activation state of microglia and tissue macrophages is characterized by two extr ...

Formation and maintenance of Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid plaques in the absence of microglia

Tristan Bolmont

In Alzheimer's disease, microglia cluster around beta-amyloid deposits, suggesting that these cells are important for amyloid plaque formation, maintenance and/or clearance. We crossed two distinct APP transgenic mouse strains with CD11b-HSVTK mice, in whi ...
