|
| Liver biopsies from patients with alcoholic hepatitis revealed neutrophils in contact with bile ducts, which correlated with biochemical and histological parameters of cholestasis. [Gut] |

|
| Investigators report the outcome of 51 r/r B-ALL patients from a non-randomized, Phase II clinical trial. The primary outcome showed that the overall remission rate was 80.9%. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that human CAR-T cells polarized and expanded under a Th9-culture condition have an enhanced antitumor activity against established tumors. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors used multiparameter flow cytometry and CITE-sequencing to investigate the cell type–specific responses of human peripheral blood dendritic cells and monocyte subsets to type I interferons, focusing on differential regulation of costimulatory molecules. [Science Immunology] |
|
|
|
| To comprehensively characterize the T-cell immune microenvironment of CDK12-deficient prostate cancers, subsets of immunosuppressive CD4+FOXP3– T-cells were increased compared to CDK12-proficient controls. [Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| To study whether neuronal surface autoantibodies were more common in plasma of individuals with depression and anxiety than in controls, plasma samples of 819 individuals with a current diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety, 920 in remission and 492 individuals without these disorders were included in this study. [Translational Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Researchers explored the effect of chemotherapy on CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the healthy lung in patients treated with standard chemotherapy regimens. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators analyzed genome-wide sequences and structural alterations with pre- and on-therapy transcriptomic and T cell repertoire features in immunotherapy-naive melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint blockade. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss recent data on a large number of cytokines that play important roles in regulating liver injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and regeneration, with a focus on interferons and T helper (Th) 1, Th2, Th9, Th17, interleukin (IL)-1 family, IL-6 family, and IL-20 family cytokines.

|
| The authors summarized the latest discoveries on the combination of nucleic acid-sensing immunity and immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer immunotherapy. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |

|
| Immunocore announced that its Phase III IMCgp100-202 clinical trial of tebentafusp vs. investigator choice in metastatic uveal melanoma has met the pre-defined boundaries for statistical significance of the primary endpoint of Overall Survival in its first pre-planned interim analysis conducted by the independent data monitoring committee.
