Exploring the interplay of molecular pattern and valency for selective interactions at the bio-interface

Cell-cell communication is fundamental for immune balance. Multivalent interactions of surface receptors at immune interfaces drive specific communication, with stimulatory and inhibitory signals guiding the immune outcome. Notably, the valency, affinity, ...

Acetate, a metabolic product of Heligmosomoides polygyrus, facilitates intestinal epithelial barrier breakdown in a FFAR2-dependent manner

Nicola Harris, Mario Michael Zaiss, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Luc Xavier Marie Lebon

Approximately 2 billion people worldwide and a significant part of the domestic livestock are infected with soil-transmitted helminths, of which many establish chronic infections causing substantial eco-nomic and welfare burdens. Beside intensive research ...

Biotechnology Applications of Nanocarbons in Plant and Algal Systems

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci

The unique combination of structural, optical, and electronic properties of nanocarbons (NCs) has made these materials particularly attractive for various applications in biotechnology and biomedicine, ranging from sensing, gene-delivery, bioimaging and th ...

Cathepsin S Regulates Antigen Processing and T Cell Activity in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, George Coukos, Elisa Oricchio, Jessica Sordet, Natalya Katanayeva, Julien Racle, Sarah Wehrle, Elena Battistello, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Elie Charles Eugène Dheilly, Giovanni Ciriello, Marco Mina

Genomic alterations in cancer cells can influence the immune system to favor tumor growth. In non-Hodgkin lymphoma, physiological interactions between B cells and the germinal center microenvironment are coopted to sustain cancer cell proliferation. We fou ...

HLA tapasin independence: broader peptide repertoire and HIV control

Jacques Fellay

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I allotypes vary in their ability to present peptides in the absence of tapasin, an essential component of the peptide loading complex. We quantified tapasin dependence of all allotypes that are common in European and Af ...

The orphan nuclear receptor LRH-1/NR5a2 critically regulates T cell functions

Kristina Schoonjans

LRH-1 (liver receptor homolog-1/NR5a2) is an orphan nuclear receptor, which regulates glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as intestinal inflammation via the transcriptional control of intestinal glucocorticoid synthesis. Predominantly expressed in epithe ...

Development of a nano-adjuvant cancer vaccine and its evaluation for melanoma in combination with radiotherapy

Sylvie Hauert

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world and melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer. Although surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still standard treatments, the discovery of the role played by the immune system in cancer has a ...

Vaccine nanocarriers: Coupling intracellular pathways and cellular biodistribution to control CD4 vs CD8 T cell responses

Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Edward Allen Phelps, Sylvie Hauert, Daniel Kenneth Bonner, Aaron Mayer

Nanoparticle delivery systems are known to enhance the immune response to soluble antigens (Ags) and are thus a promising tool for the development of new vaccines. Our laboratory has engineered two different nanoparticulate systems in which Ag is either en ...

Targeting cancer stem cells by T cell engineering

Nicolas Pierre Desbaillets

The identification of cancer stem cells (CSCs) has fundamentally changed the understanding of tumor biology. CSCs drive tumor initiation and long term tumor growth, can cause relapse and are essential for metastatic colonization. These features place cance ...
