Tardif V, Muir R, Cubas R, Chakhtoura M, Wilkinson P, Metcalf T, et al.
Nat Commun . 2019 Feb; 10(1):823. PMID: 30778076
Follicular helper T cells (Tfh) play critical roles instructing, and initiating T-cell dependent antibody responses. The underlying mechanisms that enhance their function is therefore critical for vaccine development. Here we...

Herro R, Shui J, Zahner S, Sidler D, Kawakami Y, Kawakami T, et al.
J Exp Med . 2018 Jan; 215(2):415-422. PMID: 29339444
Dermatitis is often associated with an allergic reaction characterized by excessive type 2 responses leading to epidermal acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, and dermal inflammation. Although factors like IL-4, IL-13, and thymic stromal...

Am J Transplant . 2017 Dec; 18(7):1636-1645. PMID: 29266762
Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity (CNT) is a frequent occurrence in transplanted renal grafts and autochthone kidneys from patients undergoing long-term treatment with calcineurin inhibitors, notably cyclosporin A (CsA) and tacrolimus. Here,...

Nat Commun . 2017 May; 8:15395. PMID: 28530223
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are driven by alternate type 2 and type 17 immune responses, but some proteins might be critical to both diseases. Here we show that a...

Herro R, Croft M
Pharmacol Res . 2016 Jan; 104:151-5. PMID: 26748035
The TNF Superfamily member LIGHT (TNFSF14) has recently emerged as a potential target for therapeutic interventions aiming to halt tissue fibrosis. In this perspective, we discuss how LIGHT may influence...

Herro R, Antunes R, Aguilera A, Tamada K, Croft M
J Invest Dermatol . 2015 Mar; 135(8):2109-2118. PMID: 25789702
Several inflammatory diseases including scleroderma and atopic dermatitis display dermal thickening, epidermal hypertrophy, or excessive accumulation of collagen. Factors that might promote these features are of interest for clinical therapy....

J Allergy Clin Immunol . 2015 Feb; 136(3):757-68. PMID: 25680454
Background: Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by excessive accumulation of collagen and α-smooth muscle actin in the lung. The key molecules that promote these phenotypes are of clinical interest. Objectives: Thymic...

J Clin Invest . 2010 May; 120(6):1873-84. PMID: 20484813
The potent regulatory properties of NKT cells render this subset of lipid-specific T cells a promising target for immunotherapeutic interventions. The marine sponge glycolipid alpha-galactosylceramide (alphaGalCer) is the proto-typic NKT...
