Precise molecular characterization of circulating polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) is hampered by their mixed composition mature and immature lack specific markers. Here, we focus on CD66b+CD10+CD16+CD11b+ PMN-MDSCs (mPMN-MDSCs) from either cancer patients or healthy donors receiving G-CSF for stem cell mobilization (GDs). By RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments, report the identification a distinct gene signature shared different mPMN-MDSC populations under...

Controversy currently exists about the ability of human neutrophils to produce IL-6. Here, we show that chromatin organization IL-6 genomic locus in is constitutively kept an inactive configuration. However, also upon exposure stimuli trigger remodelling at locus, such as ligands for TLR8 or, less efficiently, TLR4, highly purified express and secrete In TLR8-activated neutrophils, but not monocytes, expression preceded by induction a latent enhancer located 14 kb upstream transcriptional...

Abstract Terminal tissue differentiation and function of slan+ monocytes in cancer is largely unexplored. Our recent studies demonstrated that differentiate into a distinct subset dendritic cells (DC) human tonsils colonize metastatic carcinoma-draining lymph nodes. Herein, we report by retrospective analysis multi-institutional cohorts infiltrate various types non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), particularly the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) group, including most aggressive, nodal...

The use of virtual reality (VR) for industrial training helps minimize risks and costs by allowing more frequent varied experiential learning activities, leading to active improved learning. However, creating VR experiences is costly time-consuming, requiring software development experts. Additionally, current authoring tools lack integration with existing data are desktop-oriented, which detach the pedagogic process immersive experience from experiencing it in a situated context. In this...

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease associated with deregulated activation of immune cells and keratinocytes. In this study, we used the imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model psoriasis to dissect better contribution hematopoietic skin-resident stromal development. The comparison development in mice carrying cell-specific deletion MyD88 (Myd88fl/flVav-cre+ mice) total deficiency (Myd88-/- mice), show that progression systemic inflammation, as well epidermal thickening, was completely dependent...

Abstract Simulation theories predict that the observation of other’s expressions modulates neural activity in same centres controlling their production. This hypothesis has been developed by two models, postulating visual input is directly projected either to motor system for action recognition (motor resonance) or emotional/interoceptive regions emotional contagion and social synchronization (emotional resonance). Here we investigated role frontal/insular processing observed combining...

There is increasing evidence supporting the notion that neutrophils and other leukocytes establish cooperative actions in regulating innate adaptive immune responses. In such a context, we have shown recently human amplify NK cell/slanDC-mediated cytokine production by directly costimulating IFN-γ cells, as well potentiating IL-12p70 release slanDCs via CD18/ICAM-1 interactions. To gain more insights into molecular bases of neutrophil-mediated potentiation cells under coculture conditions,...

Executive function (EF) describes a group of cognitive processes underlying the organization and control goal-directed behaviour. Environmental experience appears to play crucial role in EF development, with early psychosocial deprivation often linked impairment. However, many questions remain concerning developmental trajectories after exposure deprivation, especially specific mechanisms. Accordingly, using an 'A-not-B' paradigm macaque model we investigated how influences development...

The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), for instance, programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) blockers, has greatly improved the outcome patients affected by non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). However, most NSCLC either do not respond to ICI monotherapy or develop resistance it after an initial response. Therefore, identification biomarkers predicting response represents urgent issue. Great efforts are currently dedicated toward identifying blood-based predict responses...
