TL;DR: It is shown that BCG induction of trained immunity in monocytes is accompanied by a strong increase in glycolysis and, to a lesser extent, glutamine metabolism, both in an in-vitro model and after vaccination of mice and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tachykinins and their Receptors in Human Malignancies
TL;DR: The precise involvement of tachykinins in cancer pathologies and the potentiality to become effective pharmacological drug targets remain to be fully defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and characterisation of a monoclonal antibody to a cell-surface, glucomannoprotein constituent of Candida albicans and other pathogenic Candida species.
Antonio Cassone,Antonella Torosantucci,M. Boccanera,Guido Pellegrini,Carla Palma,Fabio Malavasi +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the epitope recognised by MAB AF-1 is carried by the polysaccharide moiety of cell-surface glucomannoprotein molecule(s).
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactoferrin release and interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor production by human polymorphonuclear cells stimulated by various lipopolysaccharides: relationship to growth inhibition of Candida albicans.
TL;DR: The ability of various bacterial LPSs to augment neutrophil function against C. albicans is demonstrated and the release of a candidastatic, iron-binding protein, lactoferrin, may contribute to the antifungal effect of PMN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial coinfections in COVID-19: an underestimated adversary.
TL;DR: The urgency to revise frequent and empiric prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics in COVID-19 patients is highlighted, with more attention to evidence-based studies and respect for the antimicrobial stewardship principles.
