[Nature Cell Biology] Scientists showed that eosinophil extracellular traps in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid are associated with the severity of asthma in patients.

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Scientists identified an inducible lncRNA in the Cxcl2 gene locus, lnc-Cxcl2, which could selectively inhibit Cxcl2 expression in mouse lung epithelial cells but not in macrophages.

[European Journal of Haematology] Scientists analyzed the outcomes of 483 patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between August 2017 and August 2020 in a retrospective study, comparing the outcomes between those who received cryopreserved or fresh peripheral blood stem cell grafts.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers investigated the significance of sPD-L1 in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

[Nature Communications] Using single-cell RNA sequencing of immune cells from renal clear cell carcinoma patients, investigators identified two distinct transcriptional fates for tumor-infiltrating Treg cells, Fate-1 and Fate-2.

[Nature Reviews Immunology] Scientists discuss the existing and emerging therapies that target mast cells, and they consider how these treatments can help us to understand mast cell functions in disease.
