A large number of prevalent lung diseases is associated with tissue inflammation. Clinically, corticosteroid therapies are applied systemically or via inhalation for the treatment of lung inflammation, and a number of novel therapies are being developed that require preclinical testing. In alveoli, macrophages and dendritic cells play a key role in initiating and diminishing pro-inflammatory...

Innate immune cells and their contribution to T-cell-based immunotherapy

Ginefra, Pierpaolo ; Lorusso, Girieca ; Vannini, Nicola

In: International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020, vol. 21, no. 12, p. 4441

In recent years, immunotherapy has become the most promising therapy for a variety of cancer types. The development of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies, the adoptive transfer of tumor-specific T cells (adoptive cell therapy (ACT)) or the generation of T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) have been successfully applied to elicit durable immunological responses in...

Alimentation et maladies auto-immunes : existe-t-il des nutriments dont les effets sur la modulation de l'inflammation ou l'immunité auraient été démontrés sur plusieurs maladies auto-immunes différentes ? : travail de Bachelor

Grimm, Djamila ; Parel, Nicolas

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de santé Genève, 2019.

Introduction : L’altération de la capacité du système immunitaire à reconnaître le soi du non soi entraîne une réaction auto immune. Les maladies auto immunes sont des pathologies inflammatoires chroniques. Elles détériorent profondément la qualité de vie des personnes qui en sont atteintes. Il n’existe actuellement aucun traitement curatif pour ces pathologies. Les effets...

Are integrins still practicable targets for anti-cancer therapy?

Alday-Parejo, Begoña ; Stupp, Roger ; Rüegg, Curzio

In: Cancers, 2019, vol. 11, no. 7, p. 978

Correlative clinical evidence and experimental observations indicate that integrin adhesion receptors, in particular those of the αV family, are relevant to cancer cell features, including proliferation, survival, migration, invasion, and metastasis. In addition, integrins promote events in the tumor microenvironment that are critical for tumor progression and metastasis, including tumor...
