Tissue memory CD4+ T cells expressing IL-7 receptor-alpha (CD127) preferentially support latent HIV-1 infection. [PDF]
, 2020 The primary reservoir for HIV is within memory CD4+ T cells residing within tissues, yet the features that make some of these cells more susceptible than others to infection by HIV is not well understood.

The Kidneys Are Not All Normal: Investigating the Speckle Distributions of Transplanted Kidneys [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Modelling ultrasound speckle has generated considerable interest for its ability to characterize tissue properties. As speckle is dependent on the underlying tissue architecture, modelling it may aid in tasks like segmentation or disease detection. However, for the transplanted kidney where ultrasound is commonly used to investigate dysfunction, it is ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

A New Skin Graft Donor Site Using the Abdominal Dog-Ear Deformity in Mastectomy Flap Necrosis [PDF]
Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2018 Background Mastectomy flap necrosis is a common complication after mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. After abdominal free flap breast reconstruction, the most common secondary procedure is dog-

High sensitivity electrochemical DNA sensors for detection of somatic mutations in FFPE samples [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We offer new high-performance label-free electrochemical impedimetric DNA sensors of non-faradaic type. The DNA sensors based on a platform of crystalline carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays are fabricated by the Langmuir--Blodgett (LB) deposition technique. The CNT arrays are suspended on a nanoporous anodic alumina (aluminium oxide, AOA) support.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/
