Differential Role of Cathepsins S and B In Hepatic APC-Mediated NKT Cell Activation and Cytokine Secretion

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Natural killer T (NKT) cells exhibit a specific tissue distribution, displaying the liver the highest NKT/conventional T cell ratio. Upon antigen stimulation, NKT cells secrete Th1 cytokines, including interferon γ (IFNγ), and Th2 cytokines, including IL-

Galactosylsphingamides : new α-GalCer analogues to probe the F’-pocket of CD1d [PDF]

, 2017
Invariant Natural Killer T-cells (iNKT-cells) are an attractive target for immune response modulation, as upon CD1d-mediated stimulation with KRN7000, a synthetic alpha-galactosylceramide, they produce a vast amount of cytokines.

Laparoscopic Delivery of a MnO2‐P‐ICG Patch for Photodynamic Therapy and NK Cell‐Driven Immunotherapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study proposes a flexible MnO2‐P‐ICG nanofiber patch for laparoscopic treatment of liver tumors. The patch alleviates tumor hypoxia and induces photodynamic therapy (PDT) triggered immunogenic cell death, thereby activating the cGAS‐STING pathway and, in synergy with pachymaran, promoting NK cell–mediated innate immunity. This synergistic strategy

Nutrition, diet and immunosenescence [PDF]

, 2013
Ageing is characterized by immunosenescence and the progressive decline in immunity in association with an increased frequency of infections and chronic disease.

NKT cells reject islets [PDF]

The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2005
Reporting on [page 913][1], Yasunami and colleagues show that activation of natural killer T (NKT) cells triggers rejection of transplanted insulin-producing islet cells in mice. These data suggest a possible way to avoid the early loss of islet cells that has stymied an otherwise promising ...

Robust and Tailored 1D/3D Heterojunction for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study successfully established a robust 1D/3D heterojunction, characterized by a stable 1D phase, favorable lattice matching, strong interface binding, and effective defect passivation. The resulting epitaxial perovskite film demonstrates preferential vertical orientation of (100) facets, thereby facilitating carriers’ transport and stress relief.

α-Lactosylceramide Protects Against iNKT-Mediated Murine Airway Hyperreactivity and Liver Injury Through Competitive Inhibition of Cd1d Binding. [PDF]

, 2019
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, which are activated by T cell receptor (TCR)-dependent recognition of lipid-based antigens presented by the CD1d molecule, have been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including asthma and ...

Regulatory immune cells in transplantation [PDF]

, 2012
Immune regulation is fundamental to any immune response to ensure that it is appropriate for the perceived threat to the host. Following cell and organ transplantation, it is essential to control the innate immune response triggered by the injured ...

Tuning Defects in Ni‐Doped Maghemite for Enhanced Solar Driven Oxygen Evolution: Insights From Operando X‐Ray Spectroscopies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maghemite (γ$\gamma$‐Fe2${\rm Fe}_2$O3${\rm O}_{3}$) is a promising non‐precious‐metal‐containing photocatalyst for water oxidation (OER). Despite being less studied than Hematite, it offers similar corrosion resistance and a favorable band structure, along with higher conductivity and the advantage of an adaptable spinel structure.
