Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Nuclear factor of activated T (NFAT) cells is a family of transcription factors important for the regulation of cytokine expression by CD4+ T cells. Whilst a number of studies have examined NFAT activity of in vitro generated CD4+ T helper (Th)1 and Th2 ce ...
Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells, including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), have been implicated in tumor progression. We recently described a lineage of mouse monocytes characterized by expression of the Tie2 angiopoietin receptor and required for th ...
In human cutaneous malignant melanoma, a predominance of activated mutations in the N-ras gene has been documented. To obtain a mouse model most closely mimicking the human disease, a transgenic mouse line was generated by targeting expression of dominant- ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) may modify the mucosal immune response and thus serve as a therapy for Crohn’s disease (CD). After evaluating safety in BALB/c mice and establishing an endoscopic index of colitis (EIC), we could demonstrate that a single «low do ...
Recent findings indicate that tumor-associated macrophages are important drivers of tumor angiogenesis. Here, we review the essential role played by Tie2-expressing monocytes (TEM) in this phenomenon. TEMs are present in human blood and tumors and their el ...
To enhance the success rate of antiangiogenic therapies in the clinic, it is crucial to identify parameters for tumour angiogenesis that can predict response to these therapies. In brain tumours, one such parameter is vascular leakage, which is a response ...
In the present study, we have assessed the effect of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) agonist fenofibrate on allergen-induced airway inflammation and immune response. C57BL/6 or PPARalpha knock-out (PPARalpha(-/-)) mice were ...
Tissue morphogenesis and remodeling is often orchestrated by cell-secreted proteins, referred to as morphogens that can trigger cellular responses in addition to modifying the local extracellular matrix (ECM). Of specific interest is the distribution of ce ...
CCR7 is implicated in lymph node metastasis of cancer, but its role is obscure. We report a mechanism explaining how interstitial flow caused by lymphatic drainage directs tumor cell migration by autocrine CCR7 signaling. Under static conditions, lymphatic ...
In this study, we present the development and the characterization of a generic platform for cell culture able to monitor extracellular ionic activities (K+, NH4 +) for real-time monitoring of cell-based responses, such as necrosis, apoptosis, or different ...
