Tumor‐Regional Immune Microenvironment: A Critical Factor in the Design of Radiotherapy–Immunotherapy Combination Trials

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clinical trials combining radiotherapy (RT) with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have shown improved outcomes in only a fraction of patients, and optimal strategies for integrating these modalities remain under intense investigation. With a few exceptions, phase III combination trials have yielded disappointing results.

HIV gp120 induces mucus formation in human bronchial epithelial cells through CXCR4/α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and lung infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality among HIV-infected patients even in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Single‐Cell Profiling Identifies CLEC5A+ Macrophages as Key Drivers of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Via CCL5‐Mediated M1 Polarization

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a life‐threatening cardiovascular disease with limited therapeutic options. Through single‐cell RNA sequencing of aortic tissues from healthy individuals and TAA patients (105,541 cells), we identified CLEC5A+macrophages as the predominant pathogenic cell population exhibiting the highest M1 polarization score.

Expression of mammalian GPCRs in C. elegans generates novel behavioural responses to human ligands

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2006
Background G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in many biological processes and represent a major class of drug targets. However, purification of GPCRs for biochemical study is difficult and current methods of studying receptor-ligand

From cytokine storm to renal scarring in diabetic kidney disease: Biomarkers, risk stratification, and precision therapeutics

open access: yesPrecision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Hyperglycemia‐driven cytokine activation initiates a sustained inflammatory cascade in diabetic kidney disease, promoting cellular injury and fibrogenic signaling. Integrating cytokine‐based biomarkers with risk stratification enables precision therapeutics that target inflammation and fibrosis, ultimately aiming to halt progression from early renal ...

Discovery of a Novel CCR5 Antagonist Lead Compound Through Fragment Assembly

open access: yesMolecules, 2008
CCR5, as the major co-receptor for HIV-1 entry, is an attractive novel target for the pharmaceutical industry in the HIV-1 therapeutic area. In this study, based on the structures of maraviroc and 1,4-bis(4-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)butane-1 ...

Clinical impact of tropism testing in a real-life cohort of HIV infected patients: a retrospective observational study

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background The circumstances of prescription of tropism tests clinically relevant in treatment-experienced patients are unclear. Methods We performed a monocentric retrospective analysis of all tropism tests performed between 2006 and 2015 in HIV ...

A randomized, placebo controlled, double masked phase IB study evaluating the safety and antiviral activity of aprepitant, a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist in HIV-1 infected adults. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) antagonists have anti-HIV activity in monocyte-derived macrophages, decrease CCR5 expression and improve natural killer cell function ex vivo.

Human Blood‐Brain Tumor Barrier on a Chip to Investigate Personalized Treatment for Glioblastoma Patients

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A microfluidic model of the glioblastoma (GBM) margin was developed to mimic patient‐specific blood‐brain tumor barrier (BBTB) function and drug response. The platform revealed inter‐patient variability in barrier integrity and drug sensitivity, offering a tool for personalized therapy evaluation in GBM.
