This paper develops an anti-HLA-A2 CAR for Tregs to induce transplant tolerance, showing they target HLA-A2-expressing grafts and suppress immune rejection.

This study shows pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF and IL-6 enhance Treg proliferation without compromising their function or lineage identity.

This paper shows that CD28-TMD in CARs forms heterodimers with endogenous CD28, affecting T-cell responses and surface expression.

This paper designs and tests SARS-BLOCK peptides as antidotes to SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting spike protein-ACE2 binding and enhancing neutralizing antibody responses.

The paper investigates how diet influences autoimmune disease by analyzing epitopes from food sources and their binding to HLA alleles associated with specific autoimmune conditions.

This study investigates the relationship between diet and autoimmune disorders by analyzing peptide epitopes in common animal and plant species, finding that pigs have a high number of unique autoimmune epitopes.

The paper describes an effective low-cost biology course implementation in Bolivia that increased student interest in scientific careers across diverse backgrounds.
