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

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.

Differential inhibitory and activating NK cell receptor levels and NK/NKT-like cell functionality in chronic and recovered stages of chikungunya. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The role of natural killer (NK; CD3-CD56+)/NKT (CD3+CD56+)-like cells in chikungunya virus (CHIKV) disease progression/recovery remains unclear.

An in silico approach for modelling T-helper polarizing iNKT cell agonists [PDF]

, 2014
Many analogues of the glycolipid alpha-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) are known to activate iNKT cells through their interaction with CD1d-expressing antigen-presenting cells, inducing the release of Th1 and Th2 cytokines. Because of iNKT cell involvement

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.

Efficacy, safety and cost‐effectiveness of CAR‐T therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
CAR T‐cells demonstrate high efficacy in blood cancers, including ALL, MM and DLBCL. Innovations target solid tumours despite challenges such as antigen escape. Combination therapies enhance the delivery and infiltration of CAR T cells. Toxicity, cost and resistance remain major barriers to clinical use.

Development of a deep learning-based 1D convolutional neural network model for cross-species natural killer T cell identification using peripheral blood mononuclear cell single-cell RNA sequencing data [PDF]

Veterinary World
Background and Aim: Natural killer T (NKT) cells exhibit the traits of both T and NK cells. Although their roles have been well studied in humans and mice, limited knowledge is available regarding their roles in dogs and pigs, which serve as models for ...
