Book ChapterDOI
Environmental Signals Regulating Mesenchymal Progenitor Cell Growth and Differentiation
TL;DR: Some of the conditions that modulate the biological functions of mesenchymal progenitors, particularly during inflammation and stress are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mouse dendritic cells pulsed with capsular polysaccharide induce resistance to lethal pneumococcal challenge: roles of T cells and B cells.
Noam Cohen,Raanan Margalit,Meirav Pevsner-Fischer,Simon Yona,Steffen Jung,Lea Eisenbach,Irun R. Cohen +6 more
TL;DR: A single injection of PS antigen associated with intact BMDC is a more effective vaccine than the soluble PS alone and provides a platform for studying novel aspects of PS-targeted vaccination.
Patent
Use of akt phosphorylation as a biomarker for prognosing neurodegenerative diseases and treating same
TL;DR: In this paper, a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQID NO: 2, analogues and derivatives thereof, for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultured Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stimulate an Immune Response by Providing Immune Cells with Toll-Like Receptor 2 Ligand
TL;DR: It is demonstrated herein that a TLR2 ligand bound to MSCs also through aTLR2 independent mechanism, and it is suggested that during bacterial infection, stromal cells may retain a reservoir of the TLR1 ligands and release them slowly to maintain an immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
