Cell Stem Cell, 2018 Summary Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) significantly enhance anti-tumor activity of immune effector cells. While most studies have evaluated CAR-expression in T cells, here we evaluate different CAR constructs that improve natural killer (NK) cell ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Haematologica, 2010 Background Natural killer cells have been demonstrated to exert remarkable graft-versus-leukemia effects after haploidentical transplantation. Acquisition of both, inhibiting and activating, receptors on developing natural killer cells is an important ...

Reduced NK cell IFN-γ secretion and psychological stress are independently associated with herpes zoster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The pathogenesis of herpes zoster is closely linked to reduced varicella-zoster virus-specific cell-mediated immunity. However, little is known about the interplay between natural killer cells and psychological stress in the pathogenesis of herpes zoster.

Cytokines impact natural killer cell phenotype and functionality against glioblastoma in vitro
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 ObjectiveNatural killer (NK) cells are a part of the innate immune system and first-line defense against cancer. Since they possess natural mechanisms to recognize and kill tumor cells, NK cells are considered as a potential option for an off-the-shelf ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 One would expect maternal immune cells to attack the invading trophoblast as the placenta is semi-allogenic. However, they appear to cooperate with the trophoblast in disrupting the arterial wall which has been determined in several studies.

Tumor-infiltrating natural killer cells
Cancer Discovery, 2020 Because of their potent antitumor activity and their proinflammatory role, natural killer (NK) cells are at the forefront of efforts to develop immuno-oncologic treatments.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Natural killer cell neoplasms [PDF]
Cancer, 2008 AbstractNatural killer (NK) cell tumors are an uncommon and heterogeneous group of disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified mature NK cell neoplasms into 2 types: 1) extranodal NK cell lymphoma, nasal type and 2) aggressive NK cell leukemia. The mature NK cell tumors are prevalent in Asia and Central and South America.
