T cell–dendritic cell immunological synapses
Dendritic cells (DCs) are myeloid lineage cells that are imprinted by their environment and that mature in response to microbial products. A crucial role of the DC is to impart this context-specific information to T cells as well as to present self and foreign MHC-peptide complexes through formation of an immunological synapse.

Bridging metabolic syndrome and cognitive dysfunction: role of astrocytes
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cognitive dysfunction pose significant challenges to global health and the economy. Systemic inflammation, endocrine disruption, and autoregulatory impairment drive neurodegeneration and microcirculatory damage in MetS.

Planar supported lipid bilayers (PSLB) presenting T cell receptor (TCR) ligands and ICAM-1 induce budding of extracellular microvesicles enriched in functional TCR, defined here as synaptic ectosomes (SE), from helper T cells.

Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

Bio-communication of Plants [PDF]
Plants communicate with a great variety of symbiotic partners, above and below ground. Constant monitoring of signals of biotic origin as well as abiotic environmental influences allows plants to generate appropriate response behavior.

Synthetic Cell‐Based Tissues for Bottom‐Up Assembly of Artificial Lymphatic Organs
Synthetic cells have emerged as a novel biomimetic approach for fundamental research and therapeutic interventions. T cell activating synthetic cells are able to form 3D tissue‐like structures by self‐assembly into lymphatic bottom‐up tissues (lymphBUT) with tunable biochemical and biomechanical functionalities as well as metabolic activity are ...

Persons Versus Brains: Biological Intelligence in Human Organisms [PDF]
I go deep into the biology of the human organism to argue that the psychological features and functions of persons are realized by cellular and molecular parallel distributed processing networks dispersed throughout the whole body.

Extracellular Vesicles: Biology, Intercellular Communication and Therapeutic Potential in Diabetes
Exosome packaging in diabetes mellitus is depicted. Induced expression levels of RBP4, WNT related proteins, TGFB1, BMPs, VEGFs, STAT3, Calpain2 and altered expression levels of microRNAs in the exosomes are responsible for the inflammatory actions, defective central metabolism, myofibroblasts proliferation, dysregulated cell migration, cell ...
