The Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Antimelanoma Immunity Depend on the Timing of Their Administration by Dragana Miloradovic, Dragica Miloradovic, Bojana Simovic Markovic, Aleksandar Acovic, Carl Randall Harrell, Valentin Djonov, Nebojsa Arsenijevic, Vladislav Volarevic

“…Significantly higher plasma levels of TGF-β and IL-10, remarkably lower plasma levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ, and significantly reduced number of tumor-infiltrating, I-A-expressing, and IL-12-producing macrophages, CD80- and I-A-expressing DCs, granzyme B-expressing CTLs and NK cells, IFN-γ- and IL-17-producing CTLs, CD4+Th1, and Th17 cells were observed in B16F10+MSC14d-treated animals. In summing up, the timing of MSC administration into the tumor microenvironment was crucially important for MSC-dependent modulation of antimelanoma immunity. …”

La part oubliée de l’étude des pharmacopées traditionnelles africaines by Claudie Haxaire

“…It is a matter of going beyond the thoroughly discussed aporias by Tim Ingold (1992-2013) between cultural ecology and ecological anthropology, to attempt the alternative ecological anthropology he proposes, and working on the medicinal (pharmacological) properties of items as so many affordances selected in a given environment by a community of humans beings or animals. This article thus follows my own path from pharmacy to anthropology, and points out the deadlocks I have encountered.…”
