A Unified Approach to Evaluating Cellular Immunotherapy in Solid Organ Transplantation (THE ONE STUDY)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,

Preventing immunological rejection of transplanted organs without the need for long-term use of pharmacological immunosuppression is a primary objective in transplantation medicine. Reducing the need for immunosuppression would dramatically improve the outcome for transplant recipients and reduce health costs for society. The means to achieve this goal has not been realised with pharmacological or ...

Beta Cell Therapy in Diabetes (BETACELLTHERAPY)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,

Type 1 diabetes is a serious chronic disease with major health risks and heavy burden on patients and society. It is caused by massive immune-mediated loss of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas that can so far not be locally corrected. A cellular allotransplant in the liver can install a new beta cell mass but the size is insufficient and the procedure faces limitations of donor shortage ...

Tie2-expressing monocytes: Role in tumor angiogenesis and therapeutic targeting (Tie2+Monocytes)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,

Recent data indicated that tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells promote tumor angiogenesis. We contributed to this concept by showing that Tie2-expressing monocytes (TEMs) have a requisite role in this process. Indeed, the specific elimination of TEMs inhibits tumor angiogenesis and growth in several models. Yet, little is known of the biological bases of TEMs activity in tumors. Building upon my prev ...

The development of glial cells, oligodendrocytes (OL) in CNS and Schwann cells (SC) in PNS, critically depends on axonal contact. Gliogenesis and the phenotype of myelinating glia are regulated by axons. Glial cells promote neuronal survival, regulate the organization of myelinated axons and promote axonal differentiation and myelin sheath production.We recently showed that type III NRG1, a member ...

Transcription factors (TFs) are capable to identify their target sites on DNA in a extremely efficient fashion. The observation that a simple 3D diffusion search cannot account for such efficient targeting has led to different mechanisms to be proposed in the last decades, including compact exploration induced by facilitated diffusion (i.e. combination of 1D sliding and 3D diffusion) or by fracta ...
