Nanoparticle Immunoadjuvant Complexes Augment Germinal Center Responses to Vaccination
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Scaffolding IL‐21 on the surface of a self‐assembling nanoparticle immunogen drives improved germinal center and humoral immune responses. These nanoparticle immunoadjuvant complexes (NICs) functionally modulate the germinal center driving improved somatic hypermutation and antibody maturation, suggesting this platform has potential utility as a ...

Targeting self-renewal pathways in myeloid malignancies [PDF]
, 2013 A fundamental property of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is the ability to self-renew. This is a complex process involving multiple signal transduction cascades which control the fine balance between self-renewal and differentiation through ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Senescent synovial intimal fibroblasts (SIF) are identified as key drivers of osteoarthritis. They promote M1 macrophage polarization and cartilage degeneration via the ANGPTL4–α5β1 axis, regulated by transcription factors EGR1 and ATF3. Pharmacological inhibition of this pathway alleviates disease, revealing SIF senescence as a promising therapeutic ...

MicroRNA 139-5p coordinates APLNR-CXCR4 crosstalk during vascular maturation
Nature Communications, 2016 G protein-coupled receptors APLNR and CXCR4 are crucial for vascular development. Here, the authors show that these two signaling pathways communicate and that in response to blood flow APLNR signaling induces a decrease in CXCR4 expression via miR-139 ...

The role of CXC receptors signaling in early stages of mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation
Stem Cell Research, 2019 Interplay between CXCR7 and other CXC receptors, namely CXCR4 or CXCR3, binding such ligands as SDF-1 or ITAC, was shown to regulate multiple cellular processes.

Resilient Calvarial Bone Marrow Supports Retinal Repair in Type 2 Diabetes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Skull bone (calvarium) marrow in diabetic mice stay structurally intact and keeps making blood cells, unlike the bone marrow of the leg bones. The skull marrow is exposed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which contains protective molecules called oxysterols.

Mineralized Cryogel/Hydrogel Constructs to Recapitulate Early Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis In Vitro
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A new biphasic in vitro cryogel/hydrogel model of early breast cancer bone metastasis provides precise control over microenvironmental cues and microscopic access to the spatiotemporal cancer cell distribution. Deposited bone‐like mineral is observed to strongly impede the effects of biomolecular signals, as evidenced by both colonization profiles and ...

The complex nature of CXCR4 mutations in WHIM syndrome
Frontiers in ImmunologyHeterozygous autosomal dominant mutations in the CXCR4 gene cause WHIM syndrome, a severe combined immunodeficiency disorder. The mutations primarily affect the C-terminal region of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor, specifically several potential ...
