Endogenous lipid antigens for invariant Natural Killer T cells hold the reins in adipose tissue homeostasis

open access: yes, 2017
The global obesity epidemic and its associated co-morbidities, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers, have drawn attention to the pivotal role of adipocytes in health and disease.

Turning Unpredictable Biomolecule Adsorption to Controlled Corona Formation: Focus on Carbon Nanomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling the protein corona formation onto carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) enhances their functionalities as platforms for cancer theranostics. Here, we reviewed the effects of the intrinsic and acquired properties of CNMs on protein corona formation, the consequent biological and toxicological outcomes, and the strategies to reshape corona formation ...

Lipid antigens in adipose tissue : A CD1d centered view on adipocyte - iNKT cell communication

open access: yes, 2022
Fat tissue is more than just fat cells that store lipids. It is a highly complex tissue with a large variety of different cells that have different functions both locally and throughout the whole body.

Super‐Resolution Ultrasound Based Cell Tracking With Polymeric Nanobubbles

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a super‐resolution ultrasound platform for tracking cells in vivo. Biocompatible polymeric nanobubbles are used as highly echogenic intracellular labels. Following the injection of cells and microbubbles, ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) can dynamically match the microvascular architecture and individual cell trajectories ...

Unlocking the Potential of MXene‐Based Electrochemical Biosensors: A Review of Biofunctionalization Strategies and Biosensing Principles

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electrochemical biosensors enable the accurate and timely detection of clinical biomarkers, improving healthcare and precision medicine. MXene nanosheets, a class of 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, are promising materials for developing next‐generation electrochemical biosensors due to their unique physicochemical ...

Studies on in vitro human T cell reactivity to antigens of mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yes, 2010
Studies on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens are important to improve immunodiagnostics and vaccine efficacy. A novel genome based strategy for antigen discovery is to relate what is highly expressed by bacilli in vivo or in vitro, to what is ...

CD1d-mediated presentation of endogenous lipid antigens by adipocytes requires microsomal triglyceride transfer protein

open access: yes, 2014
Obesity-induced adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction results in a chronic low-grade inflammation that predisposes to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Cell Cycle Control of Nuclear Metabolism Couples Phosphatidylinositol Signaling to Histone Methylation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Nuclear metabolism oscillates during cell cycle progression. Quantitative chromatome proteomics and imaging reveal phase‐specific dynamics of PIP5K1A and nuclear PIP2, linking phosphatidylinositol metabolism to histone methylation. This work identifies nuclear lipid metabolism as a previously unrecognized regulatory axis coordinating chromatin ...

Lipids in immunometabolism: From lipid handling to lipid antigen presentation and back

open access: yes
Within this thesis we utilized and developed several model systems allowing us to strategically address the different levels of complex interactions and mechanisms. In chapter 2 we use a mixture of FFA’s mimicking the lipid-rich microenvironment of obesity in vitro, co-culturing these now insulin resistant (IR) adipocytes with iNKT cells demonstrated ...

The response of human dendritic cells to recombinant adenovirus, recombinant Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette Guerin and biolistic methods of antigen delivery: different induction of contact-dependant and soluble signals.

open access: yes, 2001
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells for inducing T-cell immune responses. The ability to grow human DCs from monocyte precursors provides an abundant source of these cells, which can be modified in vitro to present antigens.
