Cell mechanics, environmental geometry, and cell polarity control cell-cell collision outcomes [PDF]
arXivInteractions between crawling cells, which are essential for many biological processes, can be quantified by measuring cell-cell collisions. Conventionally, experiments of cell-cell collisions are conducted on two-dimensional flat substrates, where colliding cells repolarize and move away upon contact with one another in "contact inhibition of ...

Janus particles as artificial antigen-presenting cells for T cell activation.
ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2014 Here we show that the multifunctionality of Janus particles can be exploited for in vitro T cell activation. We engineer bifunctional Janus particles on which the spatial distribution of two ligands, anti-CD3 and fibronectin, mimics the "bull's eye ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Prostate cancer is a leading malignancy with significant clinical heterogeneity in men. An 11‐gene signature derived from dysregulated epithelial cell markers effectively predicted biochemical recurrence‐free survival in patients who underwent radical surgery or radiotherapy.

Immunohistochemical analysis of Langerhans cells in chronic gingivitis using anti-CD1a antibody
Dental Research Journal, 2014 Background: The Langerhans cells (LCs) are dendritic cells (DCs) which belong to the group of antigen presenting cells (APCs). Their function is to recognize the antigen, capture it, and present it to the T lymphocytes; thus initiating an early immune ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are associated with early breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). This study evaluated EMT and TIL shifts, with immunofluorescence and RNA sequencing, at diagnosis and in residual tumors as potential biomarkers associated with treatment response.

Exploration of ImmunologyAim: Antigen (Ag) presentation by Ag-presenting cells (APCs) is the first step in the generation of adaptive humoral and cellular immune responses. However, there have been few studies on the effects of flavonoids on APC function.

Molecular and functional profiling unravels targetable vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We used whole exome and RNA‐sequencing to profile divergent genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of microsatellite stable (MSS) and microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer. Alterations were classified using a computational score for integrative cancer variant annotation and prioritization.

Adhesion and volume constraints via nonlocal interactions lead to cell sorting [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We demonstrate how concepts of statistical mechanics of interacting particles can have important implications in the choice of interaction potentials to model qualitative properties of cell aggregates in theoretical biology. We illustrate this by showing cell sorting phenomena for cell groups with different adhesiveness parameters: ranging from well ...
