Immunological tolerance is essential in preventing autoimmunity. The establishment of T-cell tolerance is induced in the thymus mainly by the deletion of hazardous autoreactive T cells. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) are critical in this process because they express a diverse repertoire of peripheral tissue-restricted self-antigens (TRAs). Hazardous developing T-cells recognizing these ...

"Background: Altered high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol homeostasis has been observed in hematologic malignancies but genetic evidences proving causality have been lacking. The ability of HDL to promote cholesterol efflux depends on two ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1, which exhibit anti-myeloproliferative activity in preclinical mouse models.Hypothesis: Somatic mutations ...

"""Integrated study of skin resident Memory T cells and dermal mononuclear phagocytes in the fight against PATHogens""Control of pathogen infection requires the generation of a tightly regulated immune response that recognizes the invading pathogen and that limits a potentially harmful host response. Recent work highlighted that resident memory T cells (TRM) form a very potent means of establishin ...

TARGETING TUMOUR ASSOCIATED MACROPHAGES IN CANCER (TMAC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

There is increasing evidence that the body s ability to mount an immune response to cancer cells may dictate which patients are cured of cancer by conventional therapy. Macrophages have a central role in both innate and adaptive immunity; both human and experimental cancers become infiltrated by macrophages, however tumour-associated macrophages (TAM) are corrupted by the tumour microenvironment t ...

Membrane sensors in the Arf orbit (ARFMEMBRANESENSORS)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Cellular organelles are continuously remodelled by numerous cytosolic proteins that associate transiently with their lipid membrane. Some distort the bilayer, others change its composition, extract lipids or bridge membranes at distance. Previous works from my laboratory have underlined the importance of membrane sensors, i.e. elements within proteins that help to organize membrane-remodelling eve ...

Inherited Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD) form a large group of diseases including Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMD), Congenital Muscular Dystrophies (CMD), Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies (DMD/BMD), or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). Within a given disease group genetic and clinical heterogeneity is the hallmark. The precise diagnostic of neuromuscular diseases thus requires extens ...
