• Disturbances of acquired immunity in hemodialysis patients 

      Eleftheriadis, T.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Kartsios, C.; Stefanidis, I. (2007)
      Acquired immunity disturbances in hemodialysis (HD) patients are many and diverse. They are caused by uremia per se, the HD procedure, chronic renal failure complications, and therapeutic interventions for their treatment. ...
    • Increased indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase in monocytes of patients on hemodialysis 

      Eleftheriadis T., Pissas G., Antoniadi G., Tsogka K., Makri P., Liakopoulos V., Stefanidis I. (2016)
      Hemodialysis patients suffer from susceptibility to infections. Inflammation upregulates indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in the antigen-presenting cells, which suppresses T-cell function. Plasma IDO activity or protein ...
    • Low-Protein Diet Induces IRE1α-Dependent Anticancer Immunosurveillance 

      Rubio-Patiño C., Bossowski J.P., De Donatis G.M., Mondragón L., Villa E., Aira L.E., Chiche J., Mhaidly R., Lebeaupin C., Marchetti S., Voutetakis K., Chatziioannou A., Castelli F.A., Lamourette P., Chu-Van E., Fenaille F., Avril T., Passeron T., Patterson J.B., Verhoeyen E., Bailly-Maitre B., Chevet E., Ricci J.-E. (2018)
      Dietary restriction (DR) was shown to impact on tumor growth with very variable effects depending on the cancer type. However, how DR limits cancer progression remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that feeding ...
    • Systemic sclerosis: New evidence re-enforces the role of B cells 

      Sakkas L.I., Bogdanos D.P. (2016)
      Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by widespread fibrosis, microangiopathy (vasospasms and stenosis), and formation of autoantibodies. T cell activation has been shown to contribute to fibrosis and microvasculopathy ...
