3D structures of avian defensins

, 2012
PosterNational audienceVertebrate defensins play a major role in both innate and adaptive immunity. They display wide range of microbicidal or microbistatic activities against Gram-negative and Gram positive bacteria, fungi and viruses. Three subclasses (

Art v 1 and Amb a 4 Co‐Sensitization Identifies Italian Patients at Risk for Mugwort‐Celery‐Spice Syndrome

Allergy, EarlyView.
Three molecular profiles identified among Art v 1/Amb a 4‐sensitized patients: Art v 1 monosensitization, Amb a 4 monosensitization, and dual sensitization to both allergens. Art v 1 monosensitization was predominantly associated with allergic rhinitis, reflecting a classical airborne allergy pattern.

Serum‐Proteomic Profiling Reveals Distinct Atopic Dermatitis Severity‐Linked Signatures

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study aimed to identify a set of serum biomarkers that robustly distinguish prespecified severe from mild atopic dermatitis groups. Serum proteomic profiling distinguishes severe from mild atopic dermatitis, revealing an epithelial enriched severity footprint linked to LDH‐associated tissue injury and Th2/Th22 inflammation.

T Cell Microenvironmental Impacts and Therapeutic Opportunities: Application to Human Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐

Updates in acute graft‐versus‐host disease: From novel pathogenic mechanisms to emerging therapeutic targets

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract provides a view on selected aspects of the pathogenesis, risk stratification and treatment of acute GVHD. Summary Acute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGVHD) remains a major complication following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT), representing a leading cause of non‐relapse mortality (NRM) and ...

The fight of innate immunity and abnormal cannabinoids against Candida infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Candida species represent the most clinically significant fungal pathogens in humans, with invasive candidiasis carrying a mortality of 30%–40% in critically ill patients despite modern antifungal therapy. The innate immune system – through the coordinated and specific activities of neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, mast cells and eosinophils ...

Exploring the therapeutic potential of recombinant bovine β-defensins for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory functions in sepsis management

Veterinary Research
β-defensins are multifunctional peptides of the host immune system involved in responses to infectious diseases. We investigated the potential of five recombinant proteins based on bovine β-defensins (bovine neutrophil β-defensins (BNBD) 1, 2, 3, and 4 ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.
