Inflammatory macrophages exploit unconventional pro-phagocytic integrins for phagocytosis and anti-tumor immunity

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Blockade of the inhibitory checkpoint SIRPα-CD47 promotes phagocytosis of cancer cells by macrophages and is a promising avenue in anti-cancer therapy.

Lymphatic endothelium stimulates melanoma metastasis and invasion via MMP14-dependent Notch3 and β1-integrin activation

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis correlate with poor clinical outcome in melanoma. However, the mechanisms of lymphatic dissemination in distant metastasis remain incompletely understood.

A Multi-Targeting Approach to Fight SARS-CoV-2 Attachment

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020
The public health has declared an international state of emergency due to the spread of a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) representing a real pandemic threat so that to find potential therapeutic agents is a dire need.

Cellular tango: How extracellular matrix adhesion choreographs Rac-Rho signaling and cell movement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The small GTPases Rac and Rho are known to regulate eukaryotic cell shape, promoting front protrusion (Rac) or rear retraction (Rho) of the cell edge. Such cell deformation changes the contact and adhesion of cell to the extracellular matrix (ECM), while ECM signaling through integrin receptors also affects GTPase activity. We develop and investigate a

Novel functions for integrin-associated proteins revealed by analysis of myofibril attachment in Drosophila

open access: yeseLife, 2018
We use the myotendinous junction of Drosophila flight muscles to explore why many integrin associated proteins (IAPs) are needed and how their function is coordinated.

Integrated Analysis of Prognostic and Immune Associated Integrin Family in Ovarian Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Human integrin receptors are important for cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion in normal epithelial cells. Emerging evidences have indicated integrin members are involved in cancer development and progression as well.

A computational analysis of the dynamic roles of talin, Dok1, and PIPKI for integrin activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Integrin signaling regulates cell migration and plays a pivotal role in developmental processes and cancer metastasis. Integrin signaling has been studied extensively and much data is available on pathway components and interactions. Yet the data is fragmented and an integrated model is missing.

PET/PDT theranostics: Synthesis and biological evaluation of a peptide-targeted gallium porphyrin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The development of novel theranostic agents is an important step in the pathway towards personalised medicine, with the combination of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities into a single treatment agent naturally lending itself to the optimisation and ...

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/
