A Dual‐Bioresponsive and Programmable Microneedle Matrix as a Bioinspired Coupler for Orchestrating Diabetic Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.

Natural killer receptors on CD8 T cells and natural killer cells from different HLA-C phenotypes in melanoma patients

, 2006
Purpose: Because immune mechanisms involved in cutaneous melanoma have not been fully elucidated, efforts have been made to achieve prognosis markers and potential targets for immune therapies, but they have not been entirely fruitful thus far. Therefore,

Non-classic properties of human cytolytic lymphocytes. basic and clinical aspects [PDF]

, 2008
The immune system comprises a complex network of specialized cells and organs that function together to recognize and remove potentially harmful "non-self", i.e. pathogens, malignant cells and –by extension– also transplanted allogeneic cells.

Antibody-targeted T cells and natural killer cells for cancer immunotherapy

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Background Adoptive cell cancer therapies aim to re-engineer a patient’s immune cells to mount an anti-cancer response. Chimeric antigen receptor T and natural killer cells have been engineered and proved successful in treating some cancers; however, the

The two faces of invariant natural killer T cells

Biomedical Journal, 2015
In this issue of the Biomedical Journal, we take a look at some of the immune system's most peculiar cells, invariant natural killer T cells, which have features of both innate and adaptive cells.

Identification of the ancestral killer immunoglobulin-like receptor gene in primates

, 2006
Background: Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) are essential immuno- surveillance molecules. They are expressed on natural killer and T cells, and interact with human leukocyte antigens.

Dual function of the NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) in the regulation of HCV-specific CD8+ T cells

, 2011
The outcome of viral infections is dependent on the function of CD8+ T cells which are tightly regulated by costimulatory molecules. The NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the Ig superfamily which can also be expressed ...
