A mathematical model to study the impact of intra-tumour heterogeneity on anti-tumour CD8+ T cell immune response [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH) has a strong impact on the efficacy of the immune response against solid tumours. The number of sub-populations of cancer cells expressing different antigens and the percentage of immunogenic cells (i.e. tumour cells that are effectively targeted by immune cells) in a tumour are both expressions of ITH. Here, we present

Cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2013 In this year's annual ASCB Meeting Minisymposium on Cell–Cell and Cell–Matrix Interactions, new data were presented on several aspects of the biology of cell adhesions. The role of cell adhesions in cancer was the topic of three of the talks, two of which were focused on identifying how invasion is affected by cell–matrix and cell–cell adhesions ...

The cell secretome, a mediator of cell-to-cell communication [PDF]
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2015 We are witnessing the emergence of a novel type of biological regulation, namely, the communication between cells via their secreted substances, the secretome. This brief overview is based on the available published data and our own experience. We discuss three vignettes illustrating the importance of communication via the secretome: (1) the secretome ...

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Confirmation that T cell receptor activation is digital, not analog. Hence individual T cell cytolytic capacity is independent of initial stimulation strength [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Whether a sub-optimum lymphocyte stimulus is achieved by lowering ligand concentration, or decreasing its affinity, initial TCR activation responses are likely to be digital. We now know for cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), when activated by plant lectins such as concanavalin-A (Con-A), that the responding cells are T cells, and ...

Cell-cell interactions in synovitis. Endothelial cells and immune cell migration.
Arthritis research, 2000 Leukocyte ingress into the synovium is a key process in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. In this review, the role of endothelial cells in leukocyte extravasation will be discussed, including the role of the most relevant cellular adhesion molecules. These molecules play an important role in mediating leukocyte-

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

A screen of Crohn's disease-associated microbial metabolites identifies ascorbate as a novel metabolic inhibitor of activated human T cells. [PDF]
, 2019 Microbial metabolites are an emerging class of mediators influencing CD4+ T-cell function. To advance the understanding of direct causal microbial factors contributing to Crohn's disease, we screened 139 predicted Crohn's disease-associated microbial ...
