    Cytotoxic CD4+ T Cells Eliminate Senescent Cells by Targeting Cytomegalovirus Antigen

    Researchers demonstrated that a virus-immune axis controlled the senescent fibroblast accumulation in the human skin. Senescent fibroblasts increased in old skin compared with young skin.

    T Cell Immune Deficiency Rather Than Chromosome Instability Predisposes Patients with Short Telomere Syndromes to Squamous Cancers

    The authors found patients with short telomere syndromes were only predisposed to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, anus, or skin, a spectrum reminiscent of cancers seen in patients with immunodeficiency.

    Human Inherited Complete STAT2 Deficiency Underlies Inflammatory Viral Diseases

    Researchers report 23 patients with loss of function variants which caused autosomal recessive, complete STAT2 deficiency. Both cells transfected with mutant STAT2 alleles and the patients’ cells displayed impaired expression of interferon stimulated genes, and impaired control of in vitro viral infections.

    Single-Cell Analysis of Peripheral Blood from High-Altitude Pulmonary Hypertension Patients Identifies a Distinct Monocyte Phenotype

    Investigators applied single-cell transcriptomics to characterize the monocytes that were significantly enriched in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of high-altitude pulmonary hypertension patients.

    Epsin1-Mediated Exosomal Sorting of Dll4 Modulates the Tubular-Macrophage Crosstalk in Diabetic Nephropathy

    By mass spectrometry, 1644 differentially expressed proteins, especially delta-like 4 (Dll4), were detected in the urine exosomes of diabetic nephropathy patients compared with controls, which was confirmed by western blot assay.

    Cholinergic Regulation of Vascular Endothelial Function by Human ChAT+ T Cells

    The authors found that human T cell choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) mRNA expression was induced by T cell activation involving the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling cascade.

    Parallel Recovery of Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Expression Dynamics from Frozen Human Regulatory T Cells

    Researchers demonstrated the robustness of an Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin Sequencing (ATAC-seq) protocol comparing primary Treg cells recovered from fresh or cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples, in the steady state and in response to stimulation.

    Assessing the Generation of Tissue Resident Memory T Cells by Vaccines

    The authors discuss how vaccination strategies aimed at generating a broad and robust T cell response may offer superior protection against pathogens, particularly those that have been observed to mutate rapidly.
