The Quest for a Truly Universal Influenza Vaccine

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
There is an unmet public health need for a universal influenza vaccine (UIV) to provide broad and durable protection from influenza virus infections. The identification of broadly protective antibodies and cross-reactive T cells directed to influenza ...

Fibronectin Fibers Progressively Lose Their Tension in Invasive Human Breast Carcinoma while Being Tensed in DCIS and Healthy Breast Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Extracellular matrix remodeling is crucial in cancer progression. Using a peptide to probe the tension of ECM fibers, it was found that Fibronectin fibers gradually lose tension as human breast carcinoma progresses, while their tension is maintained in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the non‐invasive precursor of breast cancer. This loss of tension is

Universal influenza vaccines: from viruses to nanoparticles

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2018
Introduction: The current seasonal influenza vaccine confers only limited protection due to waning antibodies or the antigenic shift and drift of major influenza surface antigens. A universal influenza vaccine which induces broad cross-protection against

Influenza vaccine: a travelers’ vaccine?

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2008
Seasonal influenza affects 5-15% of the world's population annually and is considered to be the second most frequent vaccine-preventable infection in travelers. Despite increasing travel volume worldwide, guidelines on influenza vaccination for international travel are scarce.

Tumor‐Associated Glycan Exploits Adenosine Receptor 2A Signaling to Facilitate Immune Evasion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies Globo H ceramide (GHCer) as a novel immune checkpoint molecule that suppresses the activation of conventional T lymphocytes while promoting the differentiation and function of regulatory T cells. The immunosuppressive effects of GHCer are mediated through the activation of the A2AR/cAMP/PKA pathway, which involves its interactions
