Multivalent presentation of MPL by porous silicon microparticles favors T helper 1 polarization increasing the anti-tumor efficacy of doxorubicin nanoliposomes
(2014)Porous silicon (pSi) microparticles, in diverse sizes and shapes, can be functionalized to present pathogen-associated molecular patterns that activate dendritic cells. Intraperitoneal injection of MPL-adsorbed pSi ... -
A novel immunomodulatory hemocyanin from the limpet Fissurella latimarginata exhibits outstanding anti-tumor activity in melanoma.
(2014)Hemocyanins, the huge oxygen-transporting glycoproteins of some mollusks, are used as immunomodulatory proteins with proven anti-cancer properties. The biodiversity of hemocyanins has promoted interest in identifying new ... -
A role for TLR4 in Clostridium difficile infection and the recognition of surface layer proteins.
(2011)Clostridium difficile is the etiological agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) and pseudomembranous colitis in humans. The role of the surface layer proteins (SLPs) in this disease has not yet been fully explored. ... -
Suppression of Natural Killer cell NKG2D and CD226 anti-tumour cascades by platelet cloaked cancer cells: Implications for the metastatic cascade
(2019)Tumour cell immune evasion is a principal hallmark of successful metastasis. Tumour cells in the vasculature adopt a platelet cloak that efficiently suppresses the innate immune system by directly inhibiting Natural Killer ...
