Dissociazione nell'espressione di IL-12 e IL-23 in cellule dendritiche umane. Ruolo nella differenziazione di Th17
Get PDFLe cellule dendritiche (DC) sono una eterogenea popolazione di cellule
immunitarie derivate dal midollo osseo che hanno un ruolo importante nella
regolazione della risposta immunitaria innata a numerosi antigeni, inclusi
batteri e agenti virali. Le cellule dendritiche sono APC (Antigen Presenting Cell)
cruciali per le risposte immunitarie innate e adattative verso gli antigeni e sono
importanti anche per il mantenimento della tolleranza immunologica agli autoantigeni
(Banchereau and Steinman,1998). Le DC regolano sia la qualità che la
durata della risposta immunitaria e l’abilità delle DC di attivare le cellule T
naive dipende dalla loro maturazione che è determinata principalmente da
segnali provenienti dall’incontro con microorganismi patogeni.
Una volta attivate dalle DC le cellule T possono completare la risposta
immunitaria interagendo con altre cellule come le cellule B per la produzione
di anticorpi, con i macrofagi per il rilascio di citochine e con le cellule bersaglio
per la lisi. La maturazione delle DC da parte dei microorganismi comporta
delle modificazioni che le rendono adatte all’attivazione dei linfociti T naive nei
siti della risposta secondaria. In primo luogo le DC mature
subiscono una forte riduzione nella capacità di catturare l’antigene a favore di
una elevata e prolungata espressione dell’antigene in contesto di MHC (Major
Histocompatibility Complex). I linfociti T riconoscono gli antigeni presentati in
contesto di MHC e questo segnale determina la specificità della risposta per
l’antigene mediata dalle cellule T, ma in assenza di un secondo segnale
stimolatorio, dà luogo ad anergia (Eagar et al., 2002). Le DC mature esprimono
quindi molecole di costimolazione, in particolare B7-1 (CD80) e B7-2 (CD86)
che interagiscono con CD28 espresso alla superficie dei linfociti T naive
inducendo la loro proliferazione. L’interazione con microorganismi patogeni
induce inoltre la produzione di IL-12, da parte delle DC, che determina una
polarizzazione nella differenziazione dei linfociti T CD4+ naive in linfociti Th1. I
linfociti Th1 producono citochine come IFN- che induce prevalentemente
risposte cellulari caratterizzate da infiammazione locale e attivazione di
macrofagi che portano all’eliminazione di patogeni intracellulari.not availabl
'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story

Professor Sommer is a best-selling author and Professor of Cognitive Aspects of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorder at the Department of Neuroscience at the University Medical Center Groningen, Netherlands. Entitled The phenomenon of hallucinations, Professor Sommer offered a holistic view into the research and experiences of hallucinations. It’s actually more common than you might think but what happens in our brains when we hallucinate? And what does this mean for new treatments and interventions
