1. Immune dysregulation in HIV-1 infected lymphoid tissue
Abstract : Lymphoid compartments are major sites for HIV-1 replication. We evaluated cytokines, chemokines and immunological effector function at the single cell level in lymphoid tissues in chronically HIV-1 infected patients. READ MORE

2. Tertiary lymphoid structures in glioblastoma : Discovery, Characterization and Therapeutic Induction
Abstract : Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable brain cancer with a median survival of less than two years from diagnosis. The tumor microenvironment plays a major role in GBM progression through sustaining immunosuppression and poor lymphocytic infiltration. READ MORE

3. Immune cells in pregnant uterine mucosa : functional properties, cellular composition and tissue organization
Abstract : The pregnant uterus mucosa - decidua - is an "immunologically privileged" site. A semiallogeneic embryo is allowed to survive, develop, and grow while the same tissue implanted outside the uterus will be rejected. The decidua basalis, which participates in the placenta formation, is a tissue rich in lymphoid cells. READ MORE

4. Evolution of HIV-1 coreceptor use in relation to pathogenesis
Abstract : HIV-1 uses the coreceptors CCR5 and/or CXCR4 in addition to CD4 to enter the host cell. CCR5-using HIV-1 (R5 phenotype) appears to transmit infection and usually dominates the early stages of disease. READ MORE

5. Effect of IL-1beta secretion on lymphoid tissue and on antitumor immune responses
Abstract : Interleukin (IL)-1beta is one of the most pleiotropic and potent cytokines, produced predominantly by activated monocytes and macrophages. IL-1 plays an important role in normal immunoregulatory processes but also in pathophysiological inflammatory responses. In the present study, we developed a model for active IL-1beta secretion.
