Systemic Administration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Increases Neuron Survival after Global Cerebral Ischemia In Vivo (2VO) by Luisa Perasso, Carla Emilia Cogo, Debora Giunti, Carlo Gandolfo, Piero Ruggeri, Antonio Uccelli, Maurizio Balestrino

“…MSC did not fully protect against ischemic damage, as the number of viable neurons in this group was lower than in normal (sham-operated) rats. However, in MSC-treated rats the number of viable CA1 pyramidal neurons was significally higher than in rats that had been subjected to ischemia but not treated with MSC. …”

In-vitro antifungal potential of myco versus bacteria synthesized ZnO NPs against chickpea and apricot pathogen by Junaid Ahmed, Farhana, Ghulam Ali Manzoor, Abdul Rasheed Kaleri, Bilal Zulfiqar, Abdul Waheed, Rashid Iqbal, Mehdi Rahimi

“…Evaluated for their antifungal effectiveness against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in chickpea and Alternaria solani, myco-synthesized ZnO NPs generated from Trichoderma harzianum and bacteria-synthesized ZnO NPs were using a poisoned food approach, the study evaluated minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), and inhibition zone diameter. At lower concentrations, myco-synthesized ZnO NPs shown better antifungal activity than their bacteria-synthesized counterparts, according to results. …”

Remodelling of the immune landscape by IFNγ counteracts IFNγ-dependent tumour escape in mouse tumour models by Vivian W. C. Lau, Gracie J. Mead, Zofia Varyova, Julie M. Mazet, Anagha Krishnan, Edward W. Roberts, Gennaro Prota, Uzi Gileadi, Kim S. Midwood, Vincenzo Cerundolo, Audrey Gérard

“…Here, we show that IFNγ receptor-deficient B16-F10 mouse melanoma tumours are controlled as efficiently as WT tumours despite their lower MHC class I expression. Mechanistically, IFNγ receptor deletion in B16-F10 tumours increases IFNγ availability, triggering a remodelling of the immune landscape characterised by inflammatory monocyte infiltration and the generation of ‘mono-macs’. …”
