Altered Crosstalk of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide with Immune Cells in Colorectal Cancer Compared to Paired Adjacent Intestinal Tissue

Ãsa Walberg, Anna Maria Reuss, Reihane Ziadlou, Céline Mamie, Claudia Gottier, Anna White, MohammadMilad Ameri, Marie‐Charlotte Brüggen, Matthias Turina, Michaela Ramser, Paulina Wawrzyniak, Maria Walker, Luca Truscello, Adriano Aguzzi, Anne Mueller, , Michael Scharl

The paper visualizes bacterial lipopolysaccharide interactions with immune cells in colorectal cancer tissue compared to adjacent tissue, revealing altered immune cell composition and LPS colocalization.

Blood-borne immune cells carry low biomass DNA remnants of microbes in patients with colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease

Yasser Morsy, Ãsa Walberg, Paulina Wawrzyniak, Barbara Hubeli, Luca Truscello, Céline Mamie, Ania Niechcial, Emilie Gueguen, Roberto Manzini, Claudia Gottier, Silvia Lang, Sylvie Scharl, Sena Blümel, Luc Biedermann, Gerhard Rogler, , Michael M. Scharl

The paper identifies bacterial DNA remnants in blood immune cells of CRC and IBD patients, suggesting microbial translocation via intestinal barrier defects.

High cell diversity and complex peptidergic signalling underlie placozoan behaviour

Frédérique Varoqueaux, Elizabeth A. Williams, Susie Grandemange, Luca Truscello, Kai Kamm, Bernd Schierwater, Gáspár Jékely, Dirk Fasshauer

This study identifies diverse peptidergic signaling in placozoans, revealing cell-type-specific neuropeptide expression and behavioral responses that suggest peptidergic signaling predates synapses in nervous system evolution.
