Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tolerogenic dendritic cell population (Tr-DC) capable of generating a population of T cells having regulatory activity, method of production and uses thereof. Furthermore, soluble HLA-G promotes the differentiation of a population of T cells with regulatory activity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to at least one glycosylation inhibitor for use in combination with CAR cell therapy. Preferably the glycosylation inhibitor improves the therapeutic potential of the CAR cell therapy. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical composition and to population or subpopulation of CAR cell that has been contacted with at least one glycosylation inhibitor.
Abstract:
The invention provides targeting RNA, single guide RNA, tracrRNA, crisprRNA and expression vectors for use in CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) methods for the treatment of neurological disorders and diseases, in particular epilepsy and pain. In some preferred embodiments, a combinatorial gene therapy approach is used, wherein expression of multiple endogenous human genes are increased in a subject, in order to achieve a greater rescue of seizures and/or behavioural deficits, and restore physiological brain function.
Abstract:
Use of one or more inhibitor(s) of senescence for increasing the survival and/or engraftment of haematopoietic cells, haematopoietic stem cells, haematopoietic progenitor cells and/or T cells in gene therapy.
Abstract:
An image capturing method (100) using an image capturing apparatus (1) that comprises an imaging device (2) having an image catcher (3) for generating image data, the method (100) comprising displaying (S101), using an image reproducing device (4), images based on the image data, generating (S102) attribute data from a plurality of biological signals measured by a plurality of biological sensors (6), the attribute data being at least an information extracted by one or more biological signals through a computational processing and being indicative of attributes of a user at a time that the user is viewing the images displayed by the image reproducing device (4), generating (S103) significance data based on the attribute data, and associating the attribute data from which the significance data is generated with each displayed image, wherein the significance data are generated by comparing the attribute data with predetermined significance threshold values in order to identify a significance state for each attribute data, controlling (S104)
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a molecule for use in the treatment and/or prevention of viral infections caused by highly pathogenic coronaviruses, including Severe Acute Respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), or variants thereof, Severe Acute Respiratory syndrome Coronavirus ((SARS)-COV) and sarbecoviruses, said molecule being a mannose binding lectin (MBL) polypeptide, or a functional fragment, derivative, mutein or variant thereof, or an homologue having a percentage of identity with MBL polypeptide of at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%, preferably for use in the treatment and/or prevention of 2019 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of a neurological disease or disorder of the central nervous system (e.g., a storage disorder, lysosomal storage disorder, neurodegenerative disease, etc.) by reconstitution of brain myeloid cell and microglia upon transplantation of hematopoietic cells enriched in microglia reconstitution potential. The invention also provides compositions and methods for ablating and reconstituting microglia.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method to produce a T cell with advantageous properties. The invention also refers to a T cell or an engineered T cell produced by the method and its use in therapy.
Abstract:
A method for analysing insertion sites of an exogenous nucleotide sequence in a subject's genome, wherein the method comprises: (a) providing a sample from the subject comprising cell-free double-stranded DNA polynucleotides; (b) blunting the ends of the polynucleotides; (c) ligating an oligonucleotide to both ends of the polynucleotides; (d) amplifying polynucleotides comprising an insertion site; and (e) sequencing the product of step (d).
Abstract:
TCR AND PEPTIDES A T-cell receptor (TCR), which binds to a Wilms tumour 1 protein (WT1) peptide when presented by a major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
