Pathological conditions associated with dysfunctional wound healing are characterized by impaired remodelling of extracellular matrix (ECM), increased macrophage infiltration, and chronic inflammation. Macrophages also play an important role in as they drive closure secretion molecules like transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β). As the functions macrophages regulated their metabolism, local administration small that alter this might be a novel approach for treatment wound-healing...

To mount an adaptive immune response, dendritic cells must migrate to lymph nodes present antigens T cells. Critical 3D migration is the nucleus, which size-limiting barrier for through extracellular matrix. Here, we show that inflammatory activation of leads nucleus becoming spherically deformed and enables overcome typical 2- 3-μm diameter limit gaps in We nuclear shape change partially attained reduced cell adhesion, whereas improved achieved reprogramming actin cytoskeleton....

Free radical generation plays a key role in many biological processes including cell communication, maturation, and aging. In addition, free is usually elevated cells under stress as the case for different pathological conditions. liver tissue, produce radicals when exposed to toxic substances but also, instance, cancer, alcoholic disease cirrhosis. However, are small, short-lived, occur low abundance making them challenging detect especially time resolve, leading lack of nanoscale...

Abstract Autoreactive T lymphocytes crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) into central nervous system (CNS) play a crucial role in initiation of demyelination and neurodegeneration multiple sclerosis (MS). Recently, extracellular vesicles (EV) secreted by BBB endothelial cells (BBB-EC) have emerged as unique form cell-to-cell communication that contributes to cerebrovascular dysfunction. However, precise impact different size-based subpopulations BBB-EC-derived EV (BBB-EV) on early stages...

Abstract To mount an adaptive immune response, dendritic cells must process antigens, migrate to lymph nodes and form synapses with T cells. Critical 3D migration mechano-sensing is the nucleus, which size-limiting barrier for navigation through gaps in extracellular matrix. Here, we show that inflammatory activation of leads nucleus becoming spherically deformed, adopting a raison-like shape enables overcome typical 2 – 3-micron pore limit 3D-migration. We nuclear shape-change partially...

The identification of pseudo- and N1 -methylpseudo-uridine (Ψ mΨ, respectively) as immunosilent uridine analogues has propelled the development mRNA-based vaccines therapeutics. Here, we have characterised another analogue, 5-ethynyluridine (EU), which an ethynyl moiety. We show that this analogue does not cause immune activation in human macrophages, it induce interleukin-6 secretion or expression inflammatory antiviral genes MX1, PKR, TAP2. Moreover, EU allows for prolonged expression,...
