For over a decade, Immune Regulation News has been keeping the scientific community up-to-date with the latest research and reviews related to immune regulation. Key research areas covered include the roles of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in autoimmunity and self-reactivity, as well as immune response to disease, transplantation and cancer. We also provide vital updates on the latest jobs and upcoming events in the field of immunology.

Immunological Distinctions between Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma

the liver is a central player in immunoregulation. Altered immune responses are tightly associated with the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Dissection of α4β7 Integrin Regulation by Rap1 Using Novel Conformation-Specific Monoclonal Anti-β7 Antibodies

The small GTPase Rap1 deficiency, as well as chemokine stimulation and the introduction of the active form of Rap1, Rap1V12, enhanced the binding of NZ-1 to the PA-tagged mutant integrin, and increased the binding affinity to mucosal addressing cell adhesion molecule-1.

Immunostimulation with Chemotherapy in the Era of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Understanding the precise immunological mechanisms that underlie the efficacy of chemotherapy has the potential not only to enable the identification of superior biomarkers of response but also to accelerate the development of synergistic combination regimens that enhance the clinical effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors relative to their effectiveness as monotherapies.

Lysophosphatidic Acid-Mediated GPR35 Signaling in CX3CR1+ Macrophages Regulates Intestinal Homeostasis

Investigators demonstrated that intestinal G protein-coupled receptor 35 (Gpr35) expression was microbiota dependent and enhanced upon inflammation. Moreover, murine GPR35+ colonic macrophages were characterized by enhanced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
