Attachment theory and research are drawn upon in many applied settings, including family courts, but misunderstandings are widespread and sometimes result in misapplications. The aim of this consensus statement is, therefore, to enhance understanding, counter misinformation, and steer family-court utilisation of attachment theory in a supportive, evidence-based direction, especially with regard to
Microglia are activated in many neurological diseases and have been suggested to play an important role in the development of affective disorders including major depression. To investigate how microglial signaling regulates mood, we used bidirectional chemogenetic manipulations of microglial activity in mice. Activation of microglia in the dorsal striatum induced local cytokine expression and a ne
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a Gram-negative human pathogen that causes infections mainly in the upper and lower respiratory tract. The bacterium is associated with bronchitis and exacerbations in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and frequently causes acute otitis media in preschool children. We have previously demonstrated that the binding of C4b bindi
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is the major structural component of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), an innate immune response to infection. Antimicrobial proteins and peptides bound to cfDNA play a critical role in the bactericidal property of NETs. Recent studies have shown that NETs have procoagulant activity, wherein cfDNA triggers thrombin generation through activation of the intrinsic pathway o
Galectins are versatile glycan-binding proteins involved in immunomodulation. Evidence suggests that galectins can control the immunoregulatory function of cytokines and chemokines through direct binding. Here, we report on an inverse mechanism in which chemokines control the immunomodulatory functions of galectins. We show the existence of several specific galectin-chemokine binding pairs, includ
Integrin αβ heterodimer cell surface receptors mediate adhesive interactions that provide traction for cell migration. Here, we test whether the integrin, when engaged to an extracellular ligand and the cytoskeleton, adopts a specific orientation dictated by the direction of actin flow on the surface of migrating cells. We insert GFP into the rigid, ligand-binding head of the integrin, model with
Protein L from the bacterial species Peptostreptococcus magnus binds specifically to the variable domain of Ig light chains, without interfering with the antigen-binding site. In this work a genetically engineered fragment of protein L, including four of the repeated Ig-binding repeat units, was employed for the purification of Ig from various sources. Thus, IgG, IgM, and IgA were purified from hu
The antimicrobial effects of Laponite nanoparticles with or without loading of the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 was investigated along with their membrane interactions. The study combines data from ellipsometry, circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, particle size/ζ potential measurements, and confocal microscopy. As a result of the net negative charge of Laponite, loading of net positively
BACKGROUND: The ORBITA and ORBITA-2 trials have provided valuable insights into the effects of coronary revascularization in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). However, uncertainties remain regarding the efficacy of revascularization on symptoms in large real-world populations. To evaluate the efficacy of revascularization, we used dispensed long-acting nitrates as a proxy for the presence of angina
Ischemia-reperfusion injury in transplantation remains a significant clinical challenge with regard to both short-term and long-term complications. In this study, we developed a new amphiphilic construct, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated lipids (PEG-LIPIDs), to be administered ex vivo intra-arterially to procured porcine kidney allografts before reperfusion. The aim was to create a protective
Myeloid cells, such as monocytes, are central in the immune response to infections. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the inflammatory response to Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPAC). To explore the ability of GPACs to induce monocyte activation, we compared two GPAC species, Parvimonas micra and Peptoniphilus harei, with E. coli, a major cause of bloodstream infections. We stimulated w
Virtual reality (VR) offers promising opportunities for procedural learning, particularly in preserving intangible cultural heritage. Advances in generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) further enrich these experiences by enabling adaptive learning pathways. However, evaluating such adaptive systems using traditional temporal metrics remains challenging due to the inherent variability in Gen-A
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with a polybacterial dysbiosis devoid of a known pathogen. Here, we report that HS patients mount IgA and IgG responses against skin colonizers, notably Porphyromonas uenonis (Pu), a rare species selectively enriched in severe disease. In these patients, Pu foci are detected in the epidermis, surrounded by IgA deposits
