Assessment of Long Non-Coding RNA Expression Reveals Novel Mediators of the Lung Tumor Immune Response

Scientists identified the landscape of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in the context of long non-coding RNA, known regulators of gene expression. They examined the lncRNA profiles of lung adenocarcinoma tumors by interrogating RNA sequencing data from microdissected and non-microdissected samples.

Effects of Degradable Magnesium on Paracrine Signaling between Human Umbilical Cord Perivascular Cells and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

The proliferation and viability of both cell types were not significantly influenced by magnesium (Mg). When human umbilical cord perivascular cells were cultured with degradable Mg, a moderate inflammation, and an increased pro-healing M2 macrophage phenotype were observed.

Suboptimal SARS-CoV-2−specific CD8+ T Cell Response Associated with the Prominent HLA-A*02:01 Phenotype

SARS-CoV-2−specific CD8+ T cells recovered from convalescent COVID-19 patients had an atypically high prevalence of stem cell memory, central memory, and naïve phenotypes.

IL-17 Sustains the Plasma Cell Response via p38-Mediated Bcl-XL RNA Stability in Lupus Pathogenesis

Using a humanized lupus mouse model, researchsrs showed that the transfer of Th17 cell-depleted PBMCs from lupus patients resulted in a significantly reduced plasma cell response and attenuated renal damage in recipient mice compared to the transfer of total systemic lupus erythematosus PBMCs.
