Journal ArticleDOI

Low-dose irradiation programs macrophage differentiation to an iNOS⁺/M1 phenotype that orchestrates effective T cell immunotherapy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that neoadjuvant local low-dose gamma irradiation (LDI) causes normalization of aberrant vasculature and efficient recruitment of tumor-specific T cells in human pancreatic carcinomas and T-cell-mediated tumor rejection and prolonged survival in otherwise immune refractory spontaneous and xenotransplant mouse tumor models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psoriasis Pathogenesis and Treatment.

TL;DR: The role of genetics, associated epigenetic mechanisms, and the interaction of the skin flora in the pathophysiology of psoriasis is described, which includes a comprehensive review of well-established widely available therapies and novel targeted drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CD16+ (FcγRIII+) subset of human monocytes preferentially becomes migratory dendritic cells in a model tissue setting

TL;DR: It is proposed that CD16+ monocytes may contribute significantly to precursors for DCs that transiently survey tissues and migrate to lymph nodes via afferent lymphatic vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI
