Cytolysis and Protoplasmic Structure [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1925
ABSTRACT The starfish (Asterias forbesii) egg is unusual in that it is very resistant to cytolysis by Quillaja saponin but possesses little resistance to hypotonic solutions (Page and Clowes1). Inasmuch as the point of attack of saponin and hypotonic solutions is quite unknown, the fact that the effect of hypotonic ...

α-Toxin permeabilized rat pheochromocytoma cells [PDF]

, 1985
The channel forming α-toxin of Staphylococcus aureus (about 50 μg/ml) markedly reduces the Ca2+ requirement for dopamine release by the rat pheochromocytoma cell line (PC 12).

Cationic mRNA Lipid Nanoparticles for Ex Vivo NanoCAR‐T Cell Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study compares charge‑neutral and cationic lipidnanoparticles (LNPs) for ex vivo mRNA delivery to T cells, revealing distinctdependencies on medium composition and T cell activation. Where conventional LNPs benefit from ApoE‐dependent T cell targeting, cationic DOTAP‑modified LNPs mediate unspecific charge‑dependent transfection.

Natural killer cell response to chemotherapy-stressed cancer cells: Role in tumor immunosurveillance. [PDF]

, 2017
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphoid cells that actively prevent neoplastic development, growth, and metastatic dissemination in a process called cancer immunosurveillance.

Extracellular Vesicles in Autoimmune Diseases: From Diagnostic Biomarkers to Engineered Therapeutics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review provides a systematic comparison of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from both mammalian and plant sources in the context of autoimmune diseases. It highlights their emerging roles as precision biomarkers and engineered therapeutic platforms.

Immunological backbone of uveal melanoma: is there a rationale for immunotherapy? [PDF]

, 2019
No standard treatment has been established for metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). Immunotherapy is commonly used for this disease even though UM has not been included in phase III clinical trials with checkpoint inhibitors.

Aptamer‐Engineered Liposomal Platform Enables in Situ cDC1 Vaccination to Potentiate Immunotherapy in Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Prostate cancer is immunologically ‘cold’, with scarce, dysfunctional type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) that limit T cell priming. We introduce an aptamer‐targeted liposomedelivering FMS‐like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) and chlorin e6 (Ce6). Ultrasound induces antigen release and cDC1s recruitment, creating an in situ cDC1 vaccine.

Sex- and species-associated differences in complement-mediated immunity in humans and rhesus macaques

mBio
The complement system can be viewed as a “moderator” of innate immunity, “instructor” of humoral immunity, and “regulator” of adaptive immunity. While sex is known to affect humoral and cellular immune systems, its impact on complement in humans and ...

Anti-Fas mAb-induced apoptosis and cytolysis of airway tissue eosinophils aggravates rather than resolves established inflammation

Respiratory Research, 2005
Background Fas receptor-mediated eosinophil apoptosis is currently forwarded as a mechanism resolving asthma-like inflammation. This view is based on observations in vitro and in airway lumen with unknown translatability to airway tissues in vivo.

Electric foot-shock stress drives TNF-alpha production in the liver of IL-6-deficient mice [PDF]

, 2004
Objectives: Accumulating evidence has shown that interleukin-6 (IL-6) has pleiotropic effects on a variety of biological functions, including its antiapoptotic potential during liver injury.
