Alternative Pathways for the Development of Lymphoid Structures in Humans

In humans, JAK3 and γc deficiencies resulted in severe combined immunodeficiency characterized by an absence of T cells, natural killer cells, innate lymphoid cells, and presumably lymphoid tissue inducer cells.

Non-Terminally Exhausted Tumor-Resident Memory HBV-Specific T Cell Responses Correlate with Relapse-Free Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Using highly multiplexed peptide-MHC tetramer staining of unexpanded cells from blood, liver, and tumor tissues from 46 HCC patients, researchers detected 91 different antigen-specific CD8+ T cell populations targeting HBV, neoantigen, tumor-associated, and disease-unrelated antigens.

CD40 Stimulation as a Molecular Adjuvant for Cancer Vaccines and Other Immunotherapies

The rationale and early immunobiology of CD40 as a master regulator of dendritic cell activation is reviewed, with further contextualization and appreciation for the role of CD40 stimulation not only in cancer vaccines but also in other contemporary immune-oncology approaches.

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Reveals Cellular Heterogeneity of Mouse Carotid Artery under Disturbed Flow

Scientists investigated the heterogeneity of vascular cell populations under disturbed blood flow (d-flow). A d-flow-induced Spp1hi vascular smooth muscle cell subpopulation appeared to be endowed with osteoblast differentiation, suggesting a role in arterial stiffness.
