Lipid antigens in intestinal inflammation and tumor development (IBDlipids)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

Lipids play crucial roles in metabolism, immunity and cancer. In addition to their function as inflammatory mediators, lipids serve as antigens presented by CD1d and activate a subset of T cells called natural killer T (NKT) cells. While NKT cells are critical for human immunity, their uncontrolled activation contributes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a group of diseases characterized by chr ...

Emergent Active Mechanical Behaviour of the Actomyosin Cell Cortex (ACTMECH)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,

The cell cortex is a highly dynamic layer of crosslinked actin filaments and myosin molecular motors beneath the cell membrane. It plays a central role in large scale rearrangements that occur inside cells. Many molecular mechanisms contribute to cortex structure and dynamics. However, cell scale physical properties of the cortex are difficult to grasp. This is problematic because for large scale ...
