UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

A T-cell receptor escape channel allows broad T-cell response to CD1b and membrane phospholipids

Nature Communications, 2019
CD1 proteins present lipid antigens to T cells via the T cell receptor. Here the authors describe T cell reactivity to human membrane lipid moieties and provide structural data to define a molecular mechanism of promiscuous recognition of self-derived ...

Cutaneous Melanoma Drives Metabolic Changes in the Aged Bone Marrow Immune Microenvironment

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, increasingly affects older adults. Our study reveals that melanoma induces changes in iron and lipid levels in the bone marrow, impacting immune cell populations and increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis.

Differences in the Antigens of Helicobacter pylori Strains Influence on the Innate Immune Response in the In Vitro Experiments

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
The immune response to Helicobacter pylori importantly determines the pathogenesis of infection as well as the success of antibiotic eradication of the bacteria. Strains of H. pylori were gathered from 14 patients who failed to eradicate H.

CD4 and CD8 co-receptors modulate functional avidity of CD1b-restricted T cells

Nature Communications, 2022
CD4 and CD8 co-receptors are routinely used to define distinct functional and phenotypic lineages of T cells. Here the authors show CD4 and CD8 also modulate the functional avidity of the CD1b-restricted response to mycobacterial lipid ...

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...

Electron Microscopic Observations of Lipid Antigens With Special Reference to the Wassermann Antigen [PDF]

Japanese Journal of Microbiology, 1974
ABSTRACTThe Wassermann antigen is a lipid micelle, and the essential component of the hapten is cardiolipin. It requires the addition of lecithin and cholesterol as auxiliary lipids. We conducted a study on the role of auxiliary lipids in the formation of the micelle structure using negative staining and observing with the electron microscope.

Mycoketide: A CD1c-Presented Antigen with Important Implications in Mycobacterial Infection

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and related mycobacteria species are unique in that the acid-fast bacilli possess a highly lipid-rich cell wall that not simply confers resistance to treatment with acid alcohol, but also controls their survival and virulence ...

Air Pollution and the Risk and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Air pollution has been linked to several neurological conditions, including stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence regarding its association with multiple sclerosis (MS) remains conflicting, limited by small sample sizes. Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane controlled register of trials (CENTRAL) were searched on ...
