Molecular Mechanism of VSV-Vectored ASFV Vaccine Activating Immune Response in DCs by Yunyun Ma, Junjun Shao, Wei Liu, Shandian Gao, Guangqing Zhou, Xuefeng Qi, Huiyun Chang

“…The results showed that surface-marked molecules (CD80, CD86, CD40, and MHC-II) and secreted cytokines (IL-4, TNF-α, IFN-γ) were highly expressed in the recombinant virus-infected DCs. In addition, the co-culture results of recombinant virus-treated DCs with naive T cells showed that the Th1- and Th17-type responses were effectively activated. …”

The Visualization of Biofilms in Chronic Diabetic Foot Wounds Using Routine Diagnostic Microscopy Methods by Angela Oates, Frank L. Bowling, Andrew J. M. Boulton, Philip G. Bowler, Daniel G. Metcalf, Andrew J. McBain

“…Diabetic foot wounds are commonly colonised by taxonomically diverse microbial communities and may additionally be infected with specific pathogens. Since biofilms are demonstrably less susceptible to antimicrobial agents than are planktonic bacteria, and may be present in chronic wounds, there is increasing interest in their aetiological role. …”

Autophagy in Stem Cell Biology: A Perspective on Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Differentiation by Xihang Chen, Yunfan He, Feng Lu

“…Impairment of this process has been implicated in various diseases, in the pathogenic response to bacterial and viral infections, and in aging. Pluripotent stem cells, with their ability to self-replicate and to give rise to any specialized cell type, are very valuable resources for cell-based medical therapies and open a number of promising avenues for studying human development and disease. …”
