Lymphatic vessels regulate immune microenvironments in human and murine melanoma

Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi

Lymphatic remodeling in tumor microenvironments correlates with progression and metastasis, and local lymphatic vessels play complex and poorly understood roles in tumor immunity. Tumor lymphangiogenesis is associated with increased immune suppression, yet ...

Microfluidic staining technology and automated image processing for fast and accurate tissue-based diagnostics

Diego Gabriel Dupouy

The development of microfluidics has led to significant improvements in many areas of in vitro diagnostics. This thesis proposes the use of microfluidic device technology in the field of anatomic pathology, leading to faster and more accurate tissue-based ...

Time-resolved imaging system for fluorescence-guided surgery with lifetime imaging capability

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Douglas Hanahan, François Eric Powolny, Harald Arjan Robert Homulle, Krisztian Homicsko, Riccardo Sinisi

We present a single-photon camera for fluorescence imaging, with a time resolution better than 100ps, capable of providing both intensity and lifetime images. the camera was fabricated in standard CMOS technology. With this FluoCam we show the possibility ...

Enhancing Efficacy of Anticancer Vaccines by Targeted Delivery to Tumor-Draining Lymph Nodes

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Alexandre de Titta, Pedro Romero, Marie Ballester, Laura Jeanbart, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud

The sentinel or tumor-draining lymph node (tdLN) serves as a metastatic niche for many solid tumors and is altered via tumor-derived factors that support tumor progression and metastasis. tdLNs are often removed surgically, and therapeutic vaccines against ...

Targeting the tumor-draining lymph node with adjuvanted nanoparticles reshapes the anti-tumor immune response

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Efthymia Vokali, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Susan Thomas

Accumulating evidence implicates the tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) in tumor-induced immune escape, as it drains regulatory molecules and leukocytes from the tumor microenvironment. We asked whether targeted delivery of adjuvant to the TDLN, presumably a ...

Immunomodulatory Roles of Lymphatic Vessels in Cancer Progression

Melody Swartz

Lymphatic vessels in the tumor microenvironment are known to foster tumor metastasis in many cancers, and they can undergo activation, hyperplasia, and lymphangiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment and in the tumor-draining lymph node. The mechanism unde ...

Optimization and regeneration kinetics of lymphatic-specific photodynamic therapy in the mouse dermis

Melody Swartz, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Renata Katarzyna Mezyk-Kopec

Lymphatic vessels transport fluid, antigens, and immune cells to the lymph nodes to orchestrate adaptive immunity and maintain peripheral tolerance. Lymphangiogenesis has been associated with inflammation, cancer metastasis, autoimmunity, tolerance and tra ...

Targeting and Modulating Tumor-Associated Sites with Novel Nanoparticle-Based Immunotherapies

Laura Jeanbart

Cancer is a global disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. While surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy comprise the classical tools to eradicate tumors, they do not cure cancer, cannot prevent metastases, lead to side effects, and most importantly ...

Cooperative Roles of SDF-1 alpha and EGF Gradients on Tumor Cell Migration Revealed by a Robust 3D Microfluidic Model

Melody Swartz, Mingming Wu

Chemokine-mediated directed tumor cell migration within a three dimensional (3D) matrix, or chemoinvasion, is an important early step in cancer metastasis. Despite its clinical importance, it is largely unknown how cytokine and growth factor gradients with ...
