Introducing tolerance to foreign and partly foreign proteins by erythrocyte binding and artificial glycosylations

Kym Lorenz Brünggel

Over the last few years, protein drugs have steadily gained importance in the clinic. Compared to small molecule drugs, protein drugs are taken up by antigen presenting cells, which degrade the proteins into peptides that are then presented on major histoc ...

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 ...

Glycotargeting therapeutics

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, David Scott Wilson

Several embodiments of the present disclosure relate to glycotargeting therapeutics that are useful in the treatment of transplant rejection, autoimmune disease, food allergy, and immune response against a therapeutic agent. In several embodiments, the com ...

Exploiting lymphatic vessels for immunomodulation: Rationale, opportunities, and challenges

Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin

Lymphatic vessels are the primary route of communication from peripheral tissues to the immune system; as such, they represent an important component of local immunity. In addition to their transport functions, new immunomodulatory roles for lymphatic vess ...

Recent Advances in Type-2-Cell-Mediated Immunity: Insights from Helminth Infection

Nicola Harris

Type-2-cell-mediated immune responses play a critical role in mediating both host-resistance and disease-tolerance mechanisms during helminth infections. Recently, type 2 cell responses have emerged as major regulators of tissue repair and metabolic homeos ...

Mechanisms of tolerance induction by erythrocyte-targeted antigens

Alizée Jéléna Grimm

Immune-mediated disorders such as autoimmune diseases, graft-versus-host disease or allergies, are a major contemporary burden. Despite significant advances in the field of immunological tolerance, immunosuppressive drugs are still the current hallmark for ...

New immunomodulatory roles of lymphatic endothelium and implications for immunotherapy

Efthymia Vokali

The lymphatic system serves a critical role in fluid homeostasis, lipid metabolism and immune surveillance. The growing appreciation of its implication in various diseases challenges the conventional view of lymphatics as a passive transport system. Tradit ...

Bioengineering approaches in immunotherapy : from basic to translational applications

Martina Damo

Vaccination has been regarded to as the most attractive immunotherapy for cancer because of its ability to instruct immune cells to recognize and kill tumor cells. Exosomes are one of the most recent discoveries translated from basic biology into experimen ...

Phage selection of chemically stabilized alpha-helical peptide ligands

Christian Heinis, Jörg Hülsken, Pierre Vincent Dessen, Philippe Diderich, Davide Bertoldo, Maola Khan Mohammad Golam

Short alpha-helical peptides stabilized by linkages between constituent amino acids offer an attractive format for ligand development. In recent years, a range of excellent ligands based on stabilized alpha-helices were generated by rational design using a ...

Specification of haematopoietic stem cell fate via modulation of mitochondrial activity

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Lütolf, Aline Roch, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Mukul Girotra, Nicola Vannini, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Gennady Nikitin, Sonja Giger

Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from their committed progeny by relying primarily on anaerobic glycolysis rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. However, whether this change in the metabolic program is the cause ...
