Journal ArticleDOI

Neutralization of macrophage migration inhibitory factor improves host survival after Clostridium difficile infection.

TL;DR: Patients with CDI had significantly higher circulating MIF compared to patients who had diarrhea but tested negative for C. difficile, and use of anti-MIF antibodies may represent a therapeutic strategy to curb host inflammatory responses and improve disease outcomes in CDI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystallographic and Receptor Binding Characterization of Plasmodium falciparum Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Complexed to Two Potent Inhibitors.

TL;DR: This study reports the crystal structures of two inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum macrophage migration inhibitory factor with nanomolar Ki’s and provides explanations regarding their selectivity of PfMIF versus human MIF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) Drives Murine Psoriasiform Dermatitis

TL;DR: The role of MIF is addressed in two mouse models of psoriasis, namely in the imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis (IIPD) and the IL-23-induced dermatitis model, to lend support to a possible disease-promoting role of the immunomodulator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular MRI of the Immuno-Metabolic Interplay in a Rabbit Liver Tumor Model: A Biomarker for Resistance Mechanisms in Tumor-targeted Therapy?

TL;DR: MRI in a rabbit liver tumor model was used to visualize resistance mechanisms mediated by the immunosuppressive tumor micro-environments that inform susceptibility and response to immuno-oncologic therapies, providing a therapeutic strategy to restore immune permissiveness in liver cancer.
