[Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics] Scientists investigated the effects of CYNK-001, human placental hematopoietic stem cell derived NK cells that exhibited strong cytolytic activity against a range of malignant cells and expressed high levels of activating receptors, against influenza A virus infections.

[Stem Cell Research & Therapy] Researchers evaluated the therapeutic potential of MSCs isolated from menstrual blood as ready-to-use allo-MSCs in multiple sclerosis by application in its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

[Oncogene] Liver-specific overexpression of GRB2-associated-binding protein 2 (Gab2) mice accelerated hepatoma progression possibly through activating IL-6-initiated the activation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

[Nature Communications] Researchers showed, using a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen, that UBL3 was a necessary component of ubiquitination-mediated trafficking of major histocompatibility complex class II and CD86 in mice and in humans.

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] The authors suggested that targeting lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling in chronic inflammatory conditions may have rescued T cell function and promoted antiviral and antitumor immunity.

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Using a range of mouse genetic models, researchers uncovered a critical tolerogenic axis between the autoimmune regulator, AIRE, and the immune checkpoint molecule, PD-1.
