Flow‐based immunomagnetic enrichment of circulating tumor cells from diagnostic leukapheresis product

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The number of circulating tumor cells obtained from prostate cancer patients was increased approximately 5‐fold compared to regular CellSearch when processing 2 mL diagnostic leukapheresis material aliquots and increased by 44‐fold when processing 20 mL DLA aliquots using the flow enrichment target capture Halbach‐array.

Chaperone-mediated MHC-I peptide exchange in antigen presentation

open access: yesIUCrJ
This work focuses on molecules that are encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and that bind self-, foreign- or tumor-derived peptides and display these at the cell surface for recognition by receptors on T lymphocytes (T cell receptors ...

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

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

Towards a Conceptual Framework for Innate Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 4th International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems (ICARIS 2005), Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3627, Banff, Canada, p 112-125, 2010
Innate immunity now occupies a central role in immunology. However, artificial immune system models have largely been inspired by adaptive not innate immunity. This paper reviews the biological principles and properties of innate immunity and, adopting a conceptual framework, asks how these can be incorporated into artificial models.

Aging-induced fragility of the immune system [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The adaptive and innate branches of the vertebrate immune system work in close collaboration to protect organisms from harmful pathogens. As an organism ages its immune system undergoes immunosenescence, characterized by declined performance or malfunction in either immune branch, which can lead to disease and death.

Il-15/il-15rα signalling and synaptic transmission: a crosstalk between the immune and the nervous system? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Immune and nervous system have been traditionally considered separately, but from ‘90s many studies had unraveled the deep interconnection and interdependence between these two systems, enough to coin the term “neuroimmune system” to define this ...

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

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

Small-molecule screening identifies Syk kinase inhibition and rutaecarpine as modulators of macrophage training and SARS-CoV-2 infection

open access: yesCell Reports, 2022
Summary: Biologically active small molecules can impart modulatory effects, in some cases providing extended long-term memory. In a screen of biologically active small molecules for regulators of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induction, we identify several

Chronic wounds alter the proteome profile in skin mucus of farmed gilthead seabream

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Skin and its mucus are known to be the first barrier of defence against any external stressors. In fish, skin wounds frequently appear as a result of intensive culture and also some diseases have skin ulcers as external clinical signs. However,
