Photodynamic therapy and immune response in solid tumours

Photodynamic therapy can stimulate a person’s own immune system to better recognise – and fight – cancer tumours, say Mary Potasek, PhD and Karl Beeson, PhD of Simphotek and Theresa M Busch, PhD of the Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Pennsylvania.

Microfluidic microbial bioreactors: How studying microbes at the microscale can help empower microbiology

Long before the existence of microbes was known, humans were unknowingly harnessing their power through practices such as brewing, bread leavening, or cheesemaking. These processes extended the shelf life of food, enhanced its nutritional value, and significantly contributed to the advancement of industry and civilization.

Figure 1. Two routes of brain infection by which SARS-CoV-2 may enter the hypothalamus and infect GnRH neurons. The virus attaches to and enters cells harbouring surface receptors such as ACE2 (black spanner-like symbol) or NRP1 (red cylinder). GnRH neurons exhibit both, which might increase their vulnerability. A. The haematological route, whereby the respiratory virus (white spheres) makes its way through the lungs into the bloodstream (dark red), and thence into the median eminence (ME), a part of the hypothalamus that harbours ”fenestrated” or leaky blood vessels. The virus may affect a number of different cell types locally, including GnRH neurons (green), whose secretory terminals approach the fenestrated vessels, and tanycytes (grey), whose processes control this secretion and also transport other bloodborne hormones and other substances into the brain. Once inside the brain ventricles (V), fluid-filled canals within the brain, the virus can also travel to other areas. B. The olfactory route, whereby the virus enters the olfactory bulb (OB) of the brain directly from the nose across the bony cribriform plate by means of nerve bundles or infected olfactory neurons and other cell types. GnRH neurons, which are born in the nasal epithelium during the embryonic period and migrate into the brain along these nerve bundles to their final positions, still maintain a connection with their birthplace, and could be thus be infected directly or indirectly through olfactory neurons or other cells. GnRH neurons also project to parts of the brain involved in higher functions such as cognition, potentially contributing to long-COVID symptoms such as “brain fog”.

Brain infection by SARS-CoV-2: Lifelong consequences

The WATCH team, founded to elucidate the role played by specialized brain cells called tanycytes in various physiological processes, has been investigating how and where the SARS-CoV-2 virus infects the brain, and some long-term consequences of this neuro-invasion.
