    Expression of USP25 Associates with Fibrosis, Inflammation, and Metabolism Changes in IgG4-Related Disease

    By using IgG4-RD patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), IgG4-RD cell lines, and Usp25 knockout mice, investigators showed that ubiquitin-specific protease 25 (USP25) engaged in multiple pathways to regulate fibrotic and inflammatory pathways that are characteristic to IgG4-RD.

    High-Multiplex Single-Cell Imaging Analysis Reveals Tumor Immune Contexture Associated with Clinical Outcomes after CAR T Cell Therapy

    Researchers designed a highly multiplexed imaging mass cytometry panel to simultaneously quantify 31 biomarkers from 13 patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who received CAR19/22 T cell therapy.

    Phase I Trial of Viral Vector Based Personalized Vaccination Elicits Robust Neoantigen Specific Antitumor T Cell Responses

    NOUS-PEV is a vector-based personalized vaccine, expressing 60 nAgs, and consisted of priming with a non-human Great Ape Adenoviral vector. Investigators reported data from a Phase Ib trial of NOUS-PEV in combination with pembrolizuma in treatment naïve metastatic melanoma patients.

    Monocyte-Mediated Thrombosis Linked to Circulating Tissue Factor and Immune Paralysis in COVID-19

    Researchers used systems biology approaches including proteomics, transcriptomics, and mass cytometry to define the circulating proteome and circulating immune cell phenotypes in subjects with COVID-19.

    Abstract

    IFN-λ Drives Distinct Lung Immune Landscape Changes and Antiviral Responses in Human Metapneumovirus Infection

    Scientists showed that type III interferon (IFN-λ) was highly upregulated during human metapneumovirus infection in vitro in human and mouse airway epithelial cells and in vivo in mice. They found through several immunological and molecular assays that type II alveolar cells are the primary producers of IFN-λ.

    Mpox-Specific Immune Responses Elicited by Vaccination or Infection in People Living with HIV

    Investigators improved their understanding of smallpox vaccination-mediated cross-reactivity to other orthopox viruses, and the long-lasting durability of childhood smallpox vaccination-mediated immune responses including in people living with HIV.

    Human Platelet Lysate Enhances In Vivo Activity of CAR-Vδ2 T Cells by Reducing Cellular Senescence and Apoptosis

    Scientists sought to enhance the in vivo longevity of CAR-Vδ2 T cells by modulating ex vivo manufacturing conditions and selecting an optimal CAR costimulatory domain.

    Type I Interferon Regulates Interleukin-1beta and IL-18 Production and Secretion in Human Macrophages

    To investigate the effect of type I IFN on the inflammasome, the authors treated human monocyte-derived macrophages with IFN-α and observed an increase in CASP1 and GSDMD mRNA levels over time, whereas IL1B and NLRP3 were not directly correlated to IFN-α exposure time.

    Prevalence of Apical Periodontitis in Patients with Autoimmune Liver Diseases under Immune Suppressants and Immune Modulators: A Cross-Sectional Study

    Researchers evaluated the prevalence of apical periodontitis in patients suffering from autoimmune liver diseases, in treatment with the immune-suppressants glucocorticoids, azathioprine, and/or ursodeoxycholic acid.

    Public Health Risks of PFAS-Related Immunotoxicity Are Real

    The authors discuss the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) immunotoxicity data in regulatory and clinical decision-making contexts and question whether recent efforts adequately account for PFAS immunotoxicity in public health decision-making.
