New insights in the immunobiology of IL 1 family members
The interleukin-1 (IL 1) family of ligands is associated with acute and chronic inflammation, and plays an essential role in the non-specific innate response to infection.

Facetted patchy particles through entropy-driven patterning of mixed ligand SAMS
We present a microscopic theory that describes the ordering of two distinct ligands on the surface of a faceted nanoparticle. The theory predicts that when one type of ligand is significantly bulkier than all others, the larger ligands preferentially ...

Coordination chemistry of amide-functionalised tetraazamacrocycles: structural, relaxometric and cytotoxicity studies [PDF]
Three different tetraazamacrocyclic ligands containing four amide substituents that feature groups (namely allyl, styryl and propargyl groups) suitable for polymerisation have been synthesised.

A genome-wide shRNA screen uncovers a novel potential ligand for NK cell activating receptors
IntroductionNatural Killer (NK) cells play a key role in both innate and adaptive immune responses against viruses and tumor cells. Their function relies on the dynamic balance between activating and inhibitory signals, which are mediated by receptors ...

Role of PPAR Receptor and Ligands in the Pathogenesis and Therapy of Hematologic Malignancies
The Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play vital roles in regulating cellular differentiation, proliferation, and caspase-mediated cell death pathways. They are regarded as promising targets for anti-tumor drug development, particularly

Comparative study of gp130 cytokine effects on corticotroph AtT-20 cells - Redundancy or specificity of neuroimmunoendocrine modulators? [PDF]
Objective: This comparative in vitro study examined the effects of all known gp130 cytokines on murine corticotroph AtT-20 cell function. Methods: Cytokines were tested at equimolar concentrations from 0.078 to 10 nM.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
