Countering T cell exhaustion and senescence for enhanced adoptive T cell therapies against solid tumors

CAR-T cell therapy has shown remarkable success in treating hematopoietic malignancies, but its efficacy in solid tumors is limited by T cell dysfunction, including exhaustion and senescence. In this study, we designed metabolically armored CAR-T cells to ...

cGAS regulation and activity during genotoxic stress

Sélène-Véronique Glück

The innate immune system has evolved to detect pathogens through germlineencoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Nucleic acid sensors, a defined class of PRRs, bind to microbial and viral nucleic acids and trigger the production of type I interferons ...

The chromatin remodeling factor ISW-1 integrates organismal responses against nuclear and mitochondrial stress

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman

Age-associated changes in chromatin structure have a major impact on organismal longevity. Despite being a central part of the ageing process, the organismal responses to the changes in chromatin organization remain unclear. Here we show that moderate dist ...

NAD+ repletion improves mitochondrial and stem cell function and enhances life span in mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Lütolf, Davide D'Amico, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Hongbo Zhang, Peiling Luan, Keir Joe Menzies, Karim Laurent Gariani, Ruedi Aebersold

Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to senescence during aging. We demonstrate the importance of the amount of the oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) and its imp ...

Combined CSL and p53 downregulation promotes cancer-associated fibroblast activation

Cathrin Brisken, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Csaba Ferenc László, Elena Menietti, Dania Al Labban

Stromal fibroblast senescence has been linked to ageing-associated cancer risk. However, density and proliferation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are frequently increased. Loss or downmodulation of the Notch effector CSL (also known as RBP-Jκ) in ...

The effect of warmer or cooler winters on European beech phenology carries over the phenophases of next growing season

Constant Signarbieux

Phenology of trees of temperate regions has become an important research topic for global change issues over the last two decades because of its major role in regulating ecosystems processes such as carbon cycle and species interactions. While spring pheno ...

Genome-Wide Evaluation of Histone Methylation Changes Associated with Leaf Senescence in Arabidopsis

Nishanth Ulhas Nair

Leaf senescence is the orderly dismantling of older tissue that allows recycling of nutrients to developing portions of the plant and is accompanied by major changes in gene expression. Histone modifications correlate to levels of gene expression, and this ...
