    Therapeutic Application of Human Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells via Induction of Granzyme B-Mediated Tumor Cell Death

    Investigators described a reliable platform capable of up to 2,000-fold expansion of human type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) within four weeks, whose molecular and cellular ILC2 profiles were validated by single-cell RNA sequencing.

    HLA-DPA1*02:01~B1*01:01 Is a Risk Haplotype for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Mediating Activation of NKp44+ NK Cells

    NK cell activation on NKp44/HLA-DP interactions was assessed in vitro using plate-bound HLA-DP molecules and HLA-DPB wildtype versus knock-out human cholangiocyte organoids.

    Regulatory T Cells in Skin Mediate Immune Privilege of the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Niche

    Scientists developed a technique to restrict genetic recombination to regulatory T cells (Tregs) only in skin. Selective depletion of skin Tregs resulted in T cell–mediated inflammation of hair follicles

    Antibody-Conjugated Magnetic Nanoparticle Therapy for Inhibiting T Cell Mediated Inflammation

    Magnetic nanoparticles conjugated with anti-CD3 mAb (Ab-MNPs) were characterized using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and their distribution was assessed using a nanoparticle tracking analyzer.

    Piezoelectric Catalysis Induces Tumor Cell Senescence to Boost Chemo-Immunotherapy

    Piezoelectric catalysis was utilized to reduce intracellular NAD+ to NADH for local tumor cell senescence for the first time.

    Abstract

    Type-2 Inflammation and Lung Function Decline in Chronic Airway Disease in the General Population

    Scientists tested the hypothesis that type-2 inflammation indicated by elevated blood eosinophils and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide would be associated with accelerated lung function decline in the general population.
    [Thorax]

    Abstract

    Subgrouping Testicular Germ Cell Tumors Based on Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy Associated lncRNAs

    The testicular germ cell tumor transcriptome data in The Cancer Genome Atlas Program database was used to perform consensus clustering analysis to construct a prognostic model for testicular germ cell tumors.

    GLS and GOT2 as Prognostic Biomarkers Associated with Dendritic Cell and Immunotherapy Response in Breast Cancer

    Researchers found that the key factors of glutamine metabolism, glutaminase 1 (GLS) and mitochondrial aspartate transaminase (GOT2), showed opposite expression patterns in breast cancer samples.

    Exploring the Next Generation of Antibody–Drug Conjugates

    Scientists highlight advances in each antibody–drug conjugate component — the monoclonal antibody, payload, linker and conjugation chemistry — and provide detailed discussions on selected examples of emerging novel antibody–drug conjugates of each format.
    [Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology]

    Abstract

    The MRGPR Family of Receptors in Immunity

    The authors focus on the members of this receptor family expressed on immune cells and how they govern immune and neuro-immune pathways underlying various physiological and pathological states.

    European Commission Approves Roche’s Tecentriq SC, the EU’s First PD-(L)1 Cancer Immunotherapy Subcutaneous Injection for Multiple Cancer Types

    Until now, Tecentriq has been given directly into patients’ veins by IV infusion which takes approximately 30-60 minutes. The new subcutaneous injection will cut treatment time to approximately seven minutes, with most injections taking between four and eight minutes.
