Two Nimrod receptors, NimC1 and Eater, synergistically contribute to bacterial phagocytosis in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Jan Paul Dudzic, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Claudia Melcarne

Eater and NimC1 are transmembrane receptors of the Drosophila Nimrod family, specifically expressed in haemocytes, the insect blood cells. Previous ex vivo and in vivoRNAi studies have pointed to their role in the phagocytosis of bacteria. Here, we have cr ...

Deciphering the subcapsular epithelial cells in human fetal and postnatal thymus

Diane Sophie Elodie Hemon

Most papers related to thymus focus on the cortical and medullary epithelial cells whereas the subcapsular layer is ignored. In this thesis, we are providing new informations about the subcapsular thymic epithelial cells (TECs) by comparing them to cortica ...

Amino Acid Variation in HLA Class II Proteins Is a Major Determinant of Humoral Response to Common Viruses

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Istvan Bartha, Christian Hammer

The magnitude of the human antibody response to viral antigens is highly variable. To explore the human genetic contribution to this variability, we performed genome-wide association studies of the immunoglobulin G response to 14 pathogenic viruses in 2,36 ...

Intravital Immunofluorescence for Visualizing the Microcirculatory and Immune Microenvironments in the Mouse Ear Dermis

Melody Swartz

Visualizing the dynamic behaviors of immune cells in living tissue has dramatically increased our understanding of how cells interact with their surroundings, contributing important insights into mechanisms of leukocyte trafficking, tumor cell invasion, an ...

Macrophage regulation of tumor angiogenesis: implications for cancer therapy

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

This article reviews the evidence for macrophages playing an important role in the regulation of tumor angiogenesis. Findings in mouse models show that macrophages promote angiogenesis in tumors both by producing excessive amounts of proangiogenic factors ...

Surface antigen phenotypes of hematopoietic stem cells from embryos and murine embryonic stem cells

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga

Surface antigens on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) enable prospective isolation and characterization. Here, we compare the cell-surface phenotype of hematopoietic repopulating cells from murine yolk sac, aorta-gonad-mesonephros, placenta, fetal liver, and ...

Secondary lymphedema in the mouse tail: Lymphatic hyperplasia, VEGF-C upregulation, and the protective role of MMP-9

Melody Swartz

Disturbances in the microcirculation can lead to secondary lymphedema, a common pathological condition that, despite its frequency, still lacks a cure. Lymphedema is clinically well described, but while the genetic underpinnings that cause lymphatic malfor ...

Development of a novel drug delivery system based on polymeric, thermoresponsive, hydrogel nanoparticles

Carrier-mediated drug delivery has emerged as a powerful methodology for the treatment of various pathologies. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel drugs is enhanced via the increase of specificity due to targeting of drugs to a particular tissue ...
