Role of Dendritic Cells in Pathology of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection in Neonates
… Dendritic cells (DCs) including myeloid DCs (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) play important roles in driving host responses to RSV infection. mDCs present antigens to help Th cells differentiate, and pDCs protect against viral infection through type I interferons (IFNs). Despite data …

Quantitative, Photocurrent Multidimensional Coherent Spectroscopy
<p>Multidimensional coherent spectroscopy (MDCS) is a quickly growing field that has a lot of advantages over more conventional forms of spectroscopy. These advantages all come from the fact that MDCS allows us to get time resolved correlated emission and absorption spectra using very precisely …

RESTORING CONNECTIVITY IN PARTITIONED WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
… by employing RNs as Mobile Data Collectors (MDCs). A mixed solution where some of the RNs are employed as MDCs and some as stationary RNs raises the challenge of determining the number of stationary RNs and identifying their locations, assigning MDCs to serve partitions uniformly in such a …

Hormonal factors in rheumatoid arthritis – Their impact on disease risk and severity
… and 1991-1996 (Malmö diet and cancer study (MDCS), respectively). Participants answered a questionnaire and blood samples were collected. We identified incident cases of RA by linking the cohorts to four different RA registers. In nested case-control studies, we studied hormonal predictors in …

Characterisation of the immune modulatory effect of wild type Rift Valley fever virus strains
… humanen myeloiden und plasmacytoiden DCs (mDCs/pDCs) ergaben, dass der Wildtyp-Stamm RVFV ZH548 nur in mDCs replizieren kann, dass es aber sowohl in pDCs als auch mDCs nur zu einer unvollständigen Aktivierung nach RVFV-Infektion kommt. Die Produktion von proinflammatorischem Interleukin 6 …

Immunological Mechanisms of Extracorporeal Photopheresis In Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma and Graft Versus Host Disease
… after 6 months in 3/3 GVHD patients. Myeloid (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) were also low at baseline in L-CTCL and GVHD patients confirming the DC defect. After 6 months of ECP, numbers and percentages of mDCs and pDCs increased in L-CTCL and GVHD. MDCs were favorably increased in 8/12 …

DEVELOPMENT OF A TISSUE ENGINEERED SKELETAL MUSCLE REPAIR CONSTRUCT FEATURING BIOMIMETIC PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND MECHANICAL CUES
… expanded primary rodent muscle derived cells (MDCs). Incorporation of agrin-presenting microparticles in 3D fibrin constructs with surface-seeded rat MDCs resulted in little or no expression of AChR clusters. However, cyclic stretch of an agrin-presenting 3D fibrin scaffold seeded with MDCs …

Genetic Determinants of Obesity in Relation to Diet, Weight Gain and Mortality
… based prospective Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS; N= ~30,000) and the Gene-Lifestyle interactions And Complex traits Involved in Elevated disease Risk (GLACIER; N= ~5000) cohorts. In paper I, we did not observe any evidence for macronutrient, fiber or total energy intake in modifying the …

Genetic Variations in Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: A Focus on Gene-Lifestyle Interactions and Mendelian Randomization
… disease (CHD). The Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS), a population-based prospective study, was used and included around 30,000 individuals with comprehensive baseline dietary and lifestyle assessment between the years 1991-1996. The TCF7L2 genotype modified the association between fiber intake …

Dendritic Cells Mediate the Dual Effects of IFN alpha/beta in HCV Immunity
… immune enhancing effect of IFNα/β on mature DCs (mDCs) that potentiated CD8+ T cell activation. In order to evaluate this latter effect in vivo, we monitored the ability of pDC IFNα/β production to substitute for CD4+ T cells in CD8+ T cell priming. The results revealed that pDC activation …

Optimisation of a flow cytometry antibody panel to detect BCG-induced innate responses in infants
… expression by neutrophils, monocytes, pDCs, mDCs and T cells in response to BCG stimulation. Expression of cytokines (IFNg, IL-6, TNF) and maturation markers (CD40, PD-L1) by these cell subsets to BCG stimulation were quantified, allowing identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms that …
