Inflammation during Post-Injury Skeletal Muscle Regeneration

The authors present the interactions that leukocytes develop with the cells present in their vicinity, such as the activation of muscle stem cells and the maturation of newly formed myofibers, and the impact they have on skeletal muscle regeneration.

Integrin β7 Inhibits Colorectal Cancer Pathogenesis via Maintaining Anti-Tumor Immunity

Researchers found that the number of β7+ cells decreased significantly in tumor tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue. β7 expression decreased in tumor-derived compared to normal tissue-derived CD8+ T cells.

Serum Free Culture for the Expansion and Study of Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells

Researchers demonstrated for the first time a methodology allowing mouse type 2 innate lymphoid cells to be cultured, and their numbers expanded in serum-free medium supplemented with Interleukins IL-33, IL-2, IL-7 and TSLP.
