Metabolic Syndrome Modulates Protein Import into the Mitochondria of Porcine Mesenchymal Stem CellsAbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently being tested in several clinical trials. Mitochondria regulate many aspects of MSC function. Mitochondrial preproteins are rapidly translated and trafficked into the mitochondrion for assembly in their final destination, but whether coexisting cardiovascular risk factors modulate this process is unknown. We hypothesized that metabolic syndrome (MetS)...

The Therapeutic Potential of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in the Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Tissue DamageAbstractChemotherapy constitutes one of the key treatment modalities for solid and hematological malignancies. Albeit being an effective treatment, chemotherapy application is often limited by its damage to healthy tissues, and curative treatment options for chemotherapy-related side effects are largely missing. As mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are known to exhibit regenerative capacity...

The Nlrp3 Inflammasome Orchestrates Mobilization of Bone Marrow-Residing Stem Cells into Peripheral BloodAbstractMobilization of stem cells from bone marrow (BM) into peripheral blood (PB) in response to tissue or organ injury, infections, strenuous exercise, or mobilization-inducing drugs is as we postulated result of a "sterile inflammation" in the BM microenvironment that triggers activation of the Complement Cascade (ComC). Therefore, we became interested in the role of the Nlrp3 inflammasome...

Targeting T Cell Malignancies Using CD4CAR T-Cells and Implementing a Natural Safety SwitchAbstractT cell malignancies are aggressive diseases with no standard treatment available, often resulting in poor patient outcomes. Lately, the recent FDA approval of a CD19 CAR T cell therapy for B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia has earned nationwide attention, leading to the possibility that success of CD19 CAR therapy can be extended to T cell malignancies. However, the impact of T cell depletion due...

Wnt Signaling Mediates the Aging-Induced Differentiation Impairment of Intestinal Stem CellsAbstractStem cell aging underlies aging-associated disorders, such as steeply increased incidences of tumors and impaired regeneration capacity upon stress. However, whether and how the intestinal stem cells age remains largely unknown. Here we show that intestinal stem cells derived from 24-month-old mice hardly form typical organoids with crypt-villus structures, but rather mainly form big, rounded cysts...

Rendiconti Lincei. Scienze Fisiche e Naturali
Accademia dei Lincei was founded in 1603 by Marchese Federico Cesi. The Linceo (lynx) was chosen as the symbol of the institution, because of the presumed keenness of its eye. The aim of the Accademia  was, and still is, the study of scientific disciplines from a global point of view, and the fostering of cooperation among researchers in any field all over the world. Some 540 members, both Italian and non-Italian, belong to the Accademia, and are grouped into two classes: Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche...

On Why Mathematics Can Not be OntologyAbstractThe formalism of mathematics has always inspired ontological theorization based on it. As is evident from his magnum opus Being and Event, Alain Badiou remains one of the most important contemporary contributors to this enterprise. His famous maxim—"mathematics is ontology" has its basis in the ingenuity that he has shown in capitalizing on Gödel's and Cohen's work in the field of set theory. Their work jointly establish the independence of the continuum...

A Note on Carnap's Result and the ConnectivesAbstractCarnap's result about classical proof-theories not ruling out non-normal valuations of propositional logic formulae has seen renewed philosophical interest in recent years. In this note I contribute some considerations which may be helpful in its philosophical assessment. I suggest a vantage point from which to see the way in which classical proof-theories do, at least to a considerable extent, encode the meanings of the connectives (not by determining...

Analysis of induced error by susceptibility effect in low-density gel dosimetersFarideh Pak, Vahid Vaezzadeh, Ehsan Eqlimi, Mona MirheydariJournal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics 2019 15(3):498-503Purpose: In low-density (LD) gel dosimeter, diffusive spin–spin relaxation rate (R2)-dispersion caused by susceptibility-induced internal gradient leads to a significant deviation in the measured R2 from the real value. In this study, the effect of induced internal gradient on R2 was visualized and...

Radioprotective effect of grape seed extract against gamma irradiation in mouse bone marrow cellsReza Ghasemnezhad Targhi, Amin Banaei, Valiallah SabaJournal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics 2019 15(3):512-516Introduction: Ionizing radiations produce free radicals which are often responsible for DNA damage or cell death. Grape seed extract (GSE) is a natural compound having an antioxidant that protects DNA, lipids, and proteins from free radical damages. In this study, radioprotective effect of...

Radiochemotherapie des ZervixkarzinomsZusammenfassungDie primäre kombinierte Radiochemotherapie ist Standard beim lokal fortgeschrittenen und nodal positivem Zervixkarzinom. Eine Kombination aus radikaler Hysterektomie und Radiochemotherapie sollte vermieden werden. Bei histologisch gesicherten Lymphknotenmetastasen paraaortal wird mit EFRT („extended field radiation therapy") eine exzellente lokale Kontrolle erzielt, die Hälfte der Betroffenen erreicht ein Langzeitüberleben. Die neoadjuvante Chemotherapie...

Neue Therapieansätze beim metastasierten NierenzellkarzinomZusammenfassungHintergrundDie medikamentöse Therapie des metastasierten Nierenzellkarzinoms (mNZK) basiert derzeit auf Tyrosinkinaseinhibitoren (TKI), „mechanistic target of rapamycin"(mTOR)-Inhibitoren und Immun-Checkpoint-Inhibitoren (ICI). Aktuell belegen Phase-III-Daten eine überlegene Wirksamkeit der Kombination von TKI + ICI bzw. von verschiedenen ICI im Vergleich zu bisherigen Monotherapien in der Erstlinie.Ziel der ArbeitIm Rahmen...

Bildgebung bei NierenzellkarzinomZusammenfassungHintergrundDurch die Zunahme der Ultraschalluntersuchungen und der gleichzeitigen Verbesserung von Labortests (Blutnachweis im Urin) werden heute weiterführende bildgebende Verfahren angewandt, um unklare Läsionen der Nieren weiter abzuklären. Auf der anderen Seite führen bessere Ultraschallgeräte und die Einführung von Ultraschallkontrastmitteln (Ultraschall-KMl) zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung der Ultraschalluntersuchungen mit einer Zunahme an Nachweisraten...
