(2023-06-27)Le but premier de ce cours est de fournir les bases théoriques nécessaires pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes de l’immunothérapie et en particulier le mode d’action des anticorps monoclonaux actuellement disponibles en immunothérapie. -
Deep tissue penetration of bottle-brush polymers via cell capture evasion and fast diffusion
(American Chemical Society, 2022-12-14)Drug nanocarriers (NCs) capable of crossing the vascular endothelium and deeply penetrating into dense tissues of the CNS could potentially transform the management of neurological diseases. In the present study, we investigated the interaction of ... -
(In)stability of ligands at the surface of inorganic nanoparticles : a forgotten question in nanomedicine?
(Elsevier, 2022-06-14)Multiple inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are currently being developed for nanomedicine. Various core materials and shapes are explored, but they all display a common hybrid structure, with organic ligands on their surface. These ligands play a key role ... -
Antiplatelet therapy in atherothrombotic diseases : similarities and differences across guidelines
(Frontiers media, 2022-04-27)Antiplatelet therapy, mainly consisting of aspirin and P2Y12 receptor antagonists, is the cornerstone of the pharmacological treatment and prevention of atherothrombotic diseases. Its use, especially in secondary cardiovascular prevention, has ... -
Clinical correlates identify ProBDNF and thrombo-inflammatory markers as key predictors of circulating p75NTR extracellular domain levels in older adults
(Frontiers Media, 2022-02-21)The p75NTR receptor binds all neurotrophins and is mostly known for its role in neuronal survival and apoptosis. Recently, the extracellular domain (ECD) of p75NTR has been reported in plasma, its levels being dysregulated in numerous neurological ... -
Antiplatelet therapy for atherothrombotic disease in 2022 : from population to patient-centered approaches
(Frontiers Media, 2022-01-28)Antiplatelet agents, with aspirin and P2Y12 receptor antagonists as major key molecules, are currently the cornerstone of pharmacological treatment of atherothrombotic events including a variety of cardio- and cerebro-vascular as well as peripheral ... -
A randomized double-blind feasibility study comparing cetirizine and diphenhydramine in the prevention of paclitaxel-associated infusion-related reactions : the PREMED-F1 study
(Springer, 2022-01-08)Purpose. Cetirizine is a less sedative alternative to diphenhydramine for the prevention of infusion-related reactions (IRR) to paclitaxel. However, its use remains controversial. In this study, we assessed feasibility for a future definitive ... -
Assessing cardiometabolic parameter monitoring in inpatients taking a second-generation antipsychotic : the CAMI-SGA study – a crosssectional study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2022)Objectives This study aims to determine the proportion of initial cardiometabolic assessment and its predicting factors in adults with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or other related diagnoses for whom a second-generation antipsychotic was prescribed ... -
A meta-analysis of the effect of paper versus digital reading on reading comprehension in health professional education
(American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, 2021-12-29)Objective. Despite a rise in the use of digital education in health professional education (HPE), little is known about the comparative effectiveness of paper-based reading and its digital alternative on reading comprehension. The objectives of this ... -
Current and novel antiplatelet therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases
(MDPI, 2021-12-03)Over the last decades, antiplatelet agents, mainly aspirin and P2Y12 receptor antagonists, have significantly reduced morbidity and mortality associated with arterial thrombosis. Their pharmacological characteristics, including pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics ... -
The brain-derived neurotrophic factor prompts platelet aggregation and secretion
(American Society of Hematology, 2021-09-21)Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has both autocrine and paracrine roles in neurons, and its release and signaling mechanisms have been extensively studied in the central nervous system. Large quantities of BDNF have been reported in ... -
Consensus recommendations on flow cytometry for the assessment of inherited and acquired disorders of platelet number and function : communication from the ISTH SSC Subcommittee on Platelet Physiology
(Wiley, 2021-09-12)Flow cytometry is increasingly used in the study of platelets in inherited and acquired disorders of platelet number and function. However, wide variation exists in specific reagents, methods, and equipment used, making interpretation and comparison ... -
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor mitigates the association between platelet dysfunction and cognitive impairment
(Frontiers media, 2021-09-07)Background: Platelet hyperactivity is deleterious in coronary artery disease (CAD), requiring lifelong antiplatelet therapy, and is associated with worse cognitive outcomes. Upon activation, platelets release Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), ... -
