Lymphatic vessel density is associated with CD8(+) T cell infiltration and immunosuppressive factors in human melanoma

Melody Swartz, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Timothy Murray

Increased density of tumor-associated lymphatic vessels correlates with poor patient survival in melanoma and other cancers, yet lymphatic drainage is essential for initiating an immune response. Here we asked whether and how lymphatic vessel density (LVD) ...

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 ...

Improving Efficacy and Safety of Agonistic Anti-CD40 Antibody Through Extracellular Matrix Affinity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Martina Damo, Lambert Charles François Potin

CD40 is an immune costimulatory receptor expressed by antigen-presenting cells. Agonistic anti-CD40 antibodies have demonstrated considerable antitumor effects yet can also elicit serious treatment-related adverse events, such as liver toxicity, including ...

New roles of the lymphatic endothelium in modulating adaptive immunity: implications for immune tolerance and cancer immunotherapy

Lambert Charles François Potin

Lymphatic vessels have traditionally been considered as passive conduits for interstitial fluid drainage and for immune cell trafficking to lymph nodes. In the last two decades, many studies have challenged this classical dogma: lymphatic endothelial cells ...

Multiple roles of lymphatic vessels in peripheral lymph node development

The mammalian lymphatic system consists of strategically located lymph nodes (LNs) embedded into a lymphatic vascular network. Mechanisms underlying development of this highly organized system are not fully understood. Using highresolution imaging, we show ...

Characterization of a B16-F10 melanoma model locally implanted into the ear pinnae of C57BL/6 mice

Esra Güç

The common experimental use of B16-F10 melanoma cells focuses on exploring their metastatic potential following intravenous injection into mice. In this study, B16-F10 cells are used to develop a primary tumor model by implanting them directly into the ear ...

Perivascular macrophages in health and disease

Michele De Palma

Macrophages are a heterogeneous group of cells that are capable of carrying out distinct functions in different tissues, as well as in different locations within a given tissue. Some of these tissue macrophages lie on, or close to, the outer (abluminal) su ...

Podosomes, But not the Maturation status, Determine the Protease-Dependent 3D Migration in human Dendritic cells

Romain Guiet

Dendritic cells (DC) are professional Antigen-Presenting Cells scattered throughout antigen-exposed tissues and draining lymph nodes, and survey the body for pathogens. Their ability to migrate through tissues, a 3D environment, is essential for an effecti ...

Advancing immunotherapy for HPV-related cancers: Improving therapeutic vaccination approaches and understanding the immunosuppressive role of myeloid cells

Gabriele Galliverti

Human Papilloma Viruses (HPVs) are the most common sexually transmitted agents worldwide, and chronic infection with oncogenic HPVs can lead to the development of lesions in the cervix, the vulva, and the head and neck region. In some patients, these lesio ...

Interactions between fibroblastic reticular cells and B cells promote mesenteric lymph node lymphangiogenesis

Nicola Harris, Lalit Kumar Dubey

Lymphatic growth (lymphangiogenesis) within lymph nodes functions to promote dendritic cell entry and effector lymphocyte egress in response to infection or inflammation. Here we demonstrate a crucial role for lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LT beta R) signalin ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles for diagnosis and therapy of lymph node metastases

Débora Bonvin

This thesis presents the synthesis, coating and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with properties especially designed for the ultimate simultaneous MRI detection and hyperthermia treatment of lymph node metastases, a combination called t ...
