Biological therapy in the treatment of melanoma [PDF]

, 2018
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive tumors and its incidence is on the rise. The low rates of survival in metastatic melanoma has led to the development of new drugs for this type of patient, such as biological therapy which has shown remarkable ...

Blood-brain barrier transport kinetics of NOTA-modified proteins : the somatropin case [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Chemical modifications such as PEG, polyamine and radiolabeling on proteins can alter their pharmacokinetic behaviour and their blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport characteristics. NOTA, i.e. 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid, is a

Interferon in the CNS

Neurosignals, 2019
While the role of interferon during systemic disease is well known and its immune modulating functions and its role in antiviral activity were extensively studied, the role of IFN-I in the brain is less clear. Here we summarize the most important literature on IFN in homeostasis of the CNS and induction of an IFN response during viral infection in the ...

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

Cigarette Smoke Suppresses Type I Interferon-Mediated Antiviral Immunity in Lung Fibroblast and Epithelial Cells [PDF]

, 2008
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of cigarette smoke on innate antiviral defense mechanisms; specifically, we examined the effects of cigarette smoke on the induction of type I interferon (IFN).

Performance of Composite Endpoints Defining Progression Independent of Relapse Activity in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The characteristics and utility of composite progression independent of relapse activity (cPIRA; worsening on the Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS], or 9‐Hole Peg Test, or Timed 25‐Foot Walk Test) were evaluated as an endpoint in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) trials using the ENSEMBLE (NCT03085810) and pooled OPERA I/II ...

STING-dependent recognition of cyclic di-AMP mediates type I interferon responses during Chlamydia trachomatis infection. [PDF]

, 2013
UnlabelledSTING (stimulator of interferon [IFN] genes) initiates type I IFN responses in mammalian cells through the detection of microbial nucleic acids. The membrane-bound obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis induces a STING-dependent

In vivo imaging of Zika virus reveals dynamics of viral invasion in immune-sheltered tissues and vertical propagation during pregnancy [PDF]

, 2020
Rationale: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a pathogenic virus known to cause a wide range of congenital abnormalities, including microcephaly, Guillain-Barre syndrome, meningoencephalitis, and other neurological complications, in humans. This study investigated the

The Comparative Effectiveness and Tolerability of Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Receptor Modulators in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate receptor modulators (S1PRM) are used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Each drug has a different S1PR‐subtype selectivity. They target the G‐protein coupled S1P receptors and exert significant immunomodulatory effects, such as preventing the formation of new CNS lesions and the reactivation of pre ...

The Senegalese Sole Mx gene promoter contains a variable microsatellite region involved in the transcriptional [PDF]

, 2015
Interferons (IFNs) play a key role against viral infections by stimulating the expression of IFN stimulated genes, such as Mx. The transcriptional regulation of these genes in fish are poorly understood.
