Transcription factor ROR alpha is critical for nuocyte development

Nuocytes are essential in innate type 2 immunity and contribute to the exacerbation of asthma responses. Here we found that nuocytes arose in the bone marrow and differentiated from common lymphoid progenitors, which indicates they are distinct, previously ...

Advances in helminth immunology: optimism for future vaccine design?

Nicola Harris

Intestinal helminths infect approximately 2 billion people worldwide. Worm burdens correlate with disease morbidity and children generally harbor the largest numbers. The majority of intestinal helminths do not replicate within their host, and worm burdens ...

Gyrotron parasitic-effects studies using the time-dependent self-consistent monomode code TWANG

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Trach-Minh Tran, Fengping Li

Parasitic effects have recently appeared to be a potential limiting factor for reliable operation of high-power high-frequency gyrotrons. Within the domain of validity of a self-consistent monomode model, the time-dependent code TWANG has been developed wi ...

Fate of the pathogen indicators phage phiX174 and Ascaris suum eggs during the production of struvite fertilizer from source-separated urine

Tamar Kohn, Brian Pecson, Loïc Decrey, Kai Udert

Human urine has the potential to be a sustainable, locally and continuously available source of nutrients for agriculture. Phosphate can be efficiently recovered from human urine in the form of the mineral struvite (MgNH4PO4•6H2O). However, struvite format ...

To B or not to B: B cells and the Th2-type immune response to helminths

Nicola Harris

Similar T helper (Th)2-type immune responses are generated against different helminth parasites, but the mechanisms that initiate Th2 immunity, and the specific immune components that mediate protection against these parasites, can vary greatly. B cells ar ...

Polyclonal and specific antibodies mediate protective immunity against enteric helminth infection

Nicola Harris, Andrew J. Macpherson

Anti-helminth immunity involves CD4+ T cells, yet the precise effector mechanisms responsible for parasite killing or expulsion remain elusive. We now report an essential role for antibodies in mediating immunity against the enteric helminth Heligmosomoide ...

Medicinal properties of organometallic compounds

Paul Joseph Dyson, Claire Samantha Allardyce

Although organometallic compds. are ubiquitous in nature, synthetic organometallic compds. are generally considered to be toxic or non-compatible with biol. systems. Despite this perception the medicinal properties of organometallic compds., in particular ...

Protein kinases as targets for antimalarial intervention: Kinomics, structure-based design, transmission-blockade, and targeting host cell enzymes

The surge of interest in protein kinases as targets for chemotherapeutic intervention in a number of diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders has stimulated research aimed at determining whether enzymes of this class might also be considered ...

Protein kinases as targets for anti-parasitic chemotherapy

Parasitic protozoa infecting humans have a staggering impact on public health, especially in the developing world. Furthermore, several protozoan species are major pathogens of domestic animals and have a considerable impact on food production. In many ins ...

Solar blind (Al,Ga)N metal-semiconductor-metal devices for high performance flame detection

Nicolas Grandjean, Mauro Mosca

In this work we report on solar blind (Al,Ga)N photovoltaic metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) detectors with a cutoff wavelength as short as similar to270 nm. (Al,Ga)N heterostructures, that allow backside illumination, were grown on sapphire substrates by b ...
