Microscopic theory for nonequilibrium correlation functions in dense active fluids [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
One of the key hallmarks of dense active matter in the liquid, supercooled, and solid phases is so-called equal-time velocity correlations. Crucially, these correlations can emerge spontaneously, i.e., they require no explicit alignment interactions, and therefore represent a generic feature of dense active matter.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Complement Factor D as a Strategic Target for Regulating the Alternative Complement Pathway

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The complement system is central to first-line defense against invading pathogens. However, excessive complement activation and/or the loss of complement regulation contributes to the development of autoimmune diseases, systemic inflammation, and ...

Unlocking the potential of tumor‐derived DNA in urine for cancer detection: methodological challenges and opportunities

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Plasma samples from mouse strains and humans demonstrate different in vitro susceptibilities to complement activation

Precision Nanomedicine, 2018
Complement activation can be evaluated in vitro using plasma or serum from animals and human donors, and in vivo using animal models. Despite many years of research, there is no harmonized approach for the selection of matrix and animal models. Herein,

Complement Overactivation and Consumption Predicts In-Hospital Mortality in SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
ObjectivesUncontrolled thromboinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Complement was implicated as key contributor to this process, therefore we hypothesized that markers of ...

Improv practices in Mathematics Active Teaching [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
This article explores the parallels between improvisational theater (Improv) and teaching in an Active Learning environment. It presents the notions of Active Teaching as a natural complement to Active Learning, and discusses how unexpected situations give rise to valuable Teaching Moments. These Teaching Moments can be strategically utilized following

Identification of functional and diverse circulating cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Cellular liquid biopsy provides unique chances for disease monitoring, preclinical model generation and therapy adjustment in rare salivary gland cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...
