Human Immune System Adaptations to Simulated Microgravity Revealed by Single-Cell Mass Cytometry

Researchers employed a high-dimensional mass cytometry approach to characterize over 250 cell-specific functional responses in 18 innate and adaptive immune cell subsets exposed to 1G or simulated µG using the Rotating Wall Vessel.

MET Amplification Attenuates Lung Tumor Response to Immunotherapy by Inhibiting STING

Scientists examined 81 lung cancer patients under immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment and found that patients with MET amplification were resistant to ICB and had a poor progress-free survival.

miR-194-5p Down-Regulates Tumor Cell PD-L1 Expression and Promotes Anti-tumor Immunity in Pancreatic Cancer

Investigators found that high expression of miR-194-5p in human pancreatic cancer patients is associated with a better survival rate, while increased expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 in human pancreatic cancer patients is associated with a worse survival rate.

Bifunctional TGF-β Trap/IL-15 Protein Complex Elicits Potent NK Cell and CD8+ T Cell Immunity against Solid Tumors

Investigators described the creation of a heterodimeric bifunctional fusion molecule, HCW9218, constructed using their soluble tissue factor-based scaffold technology. This complex comprised extracellular domains of the human transforming growth factor-β receptor II and a human interleukin (IL)-15/IL-15 receptor α complex.

Critical Role of the CD44lowCD62Llow CD8+ T Cell Subset in Restoring Antitumor Immunity in Aged Mice

Researchers investigated the role of T cell function in age-related unresponsiveness to PD-1 blockade cancer therapy. They found inefficient generation of CD44lowCD62Llow CD8+ T cell subset in draining lymph nodes of tumor-bearing aged mice.

TP53 Missense Mutations in PDAC Are Associated with Enhanced Fibrosis and an Immunosuppressive Microenvironment

Analysis of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed a negative association between the presence of missense mutp53 and infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the tumor.

SARS-CoV-2 Infection Paralyzes Cytotoxic and Metabolic Functions of the Immune Cells

Researchers ivestigated the immune response in acute or convalescent COVID19 patients. They characterized the peripheral blood mononuclear cells using flow cytometry and found that CD8+ T cells were significantly subsided in moderate COVID-19 and convalescent patients.
