Systemic and targeted delivery of semaphorin 3A inhibits tumor angiogenesis and progression in mouse tumor models

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

The role of semaphorins in tumor progression is still poorly understood. In this study, we aimed at elucidating the regulatory role of semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A) in primary tumor growth and metastatic dissemination. ...

miR-511-3p, embedded in the macrophage mannose receptor gene, contributes to intestinal inflammation

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

MiR-511-3p is embedded in intron 5 of the CD206/MRC1 gene Mrc1, expressed by macrophage and dendritic cell populations. CD206 and miR-511-3p expression are co-regulated, and their contribution to intestinal inflammation is unclear. We investigated their ro ...

Origins of brain tumor macrophages

Michele De Palma

The ontogeny of brain-tumor-associated macrophages is poorly understood. New findings indicate that both resident microglia and blood-derived monocytes generate the pool of macrophages that infiltrate brain tumors of either primary or metastatic origin. ...

Imaging-based spectrometer-less optofluidic biosensors based on dielectric metasurfaces for detecting extracellular vesicles

Michele De Palma, Hatice Altug, Filiz Yesilköy, Chiara Cianciaruso, Yasaman Jahani, Eduardo Romero Arvelo

Biosensors are indispensable tools for public, global, and personalized healthcare as they provide tests that can be used from early disease detection and treatment monitoring to preventing pandemics. We introduce single-wavelength imaging biosensors capab ...

A New Twist on Radiation Oncology: Low-Dose Irradiation Elicits Immunostimulatory Macrophages that Unlock Barriers to Tumor Immunotherapy

Michele De Palma, Douglas Hanahan, George Coukos

Tumor-infiltrating macrophages typically promote angiogenesis while suppressing antitumoral T cell responses. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Klug and colleagues report that clinically-feasible, low-dose irradiation redirects macrophage differentiation from ...

Engineered antigen presenting cells and uses thereof

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

The present invention relates to engineered extra-cellular vesicle internalizing receptors that have the ability to enhance uptake, processing, and presentation to T-cells of tumor-associated antigens by an antigen-presenting cell. It further relates to ve ...

Reprogramming tumor blood vessels for enhancing immunotherapy

Michele De Palma

Angiogenic blood vessels contribute to generating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, in part by limiting the extravasation of T cells. Functional reprogramming of angiogenic blood vessels, for example through angiopoietin-2 blockade, may improve ...

A niche role for periostin and macrophages in glioblastoma

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

Macrophages facilitate tumour progression, but it is unclear whether this capability is influenced by tumour-initiating cells. Glioblastoma stem cells are now shown to secrete periostin, a matrix protein that recruits protumoral macrophages and enhances gl ...

A LIGHTning Strike to the Metastatic Niche

Michele De Palma, Amaia Martinez Usatorre

Tumor-induced vascular alterations in distant organs have been linked to the spreading of cancer. In this issue of Cell Reports, He et al. (2019) show that targeting the cytokine LIGHT to the pulmonary vasculature prevents the establishment of lung metasta ...

Tie2-expressing monocytes: regulation of tumor angiogenesis and therapeutic implications

Michele De Palma

Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells are involved in crucial processes during tumor development. A subset of monocytes that express the angiopoietin receptor Tie2 play an important role in tumor angiogenesis. Selective depletion of these Tie2-expressing monocy ...

A new Analleucosma Antoine, 1989 from West Africa (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The genus Analleucosma Antoine, 1989 is known from northeastern and southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo and a few localities in East Africa; it currently comprises three similar species, all very scarce in collections. Here I describe a new species, ...

Macrophage regulation of tumor responses to anticancer therapies

Michele De Palma

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote key processes in tumor progression, like angiogenesis, immunosuppression, invasion, and metastasis. Increasing studies have also shown that TAMs can either enhance or antagonize the antitumor efficacy of cytotoxi ...

We here review the taxonomic standing of several generic names in the African Cetoniinae and re-establish Coelorrhina Burmeister, 1842 (= Cyprolais Thomson 1880 syn. nov.) as the first available name for Cetonia quadrimaculata Fabricius, 1781. ...

Antiangiogenic immunotherapy suppresses desmoplastic and chemoresistant intestinal tumors in mice

Matthias Lütolf, Michele De Palma, Mauro Delorenzi, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Sina Nassiri, Nikolche Gjorevski, Alan Nicolas Thierry Guichard

Mutations in APC promote colorectal cancer (CRC) progression through uncontrolled WNT signaling. Patients with desmoplastic CRC have a significantly worse prognosis and do not benefit from chemotherapy, but the mechanisms underlying the differential respon ...

Lymphoma Chemotherapy: Hungry Macrophages Strike the Final Blow

Michele De Palma, Florent Philippe Maurice Duval

Macrophages modulate tumor response to chemotherapy; in this issue, Lossos and colleagues show that high-dose alkylating agents instigate a synthetic lethal program in lymphoma cells that is independent of DNA damage and involves recruitment and priming of ...
