lymphoid cells

[Cellular & Molecular Immunology] Both in inflamed and cancer tissues, a wide range of changes in physical conditions and nutrient availability are now acknowledged to shape immunity.

[Clinical Cancer Research] Researchers assessed regulatory T cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment, cervical lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus; and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the bone marrow.

[Genome Biology] Four clocks resulted in similar predictions of individual chronological age, and their constituting CpGs were correlated in DNA methylation level and were enriched for similar histone modifications and chromatin states.

[Ebiomedicine] Pulmonary endothelial cells become dysfunctional during COVID-19, showing a loss of thrombomodulin expression related to severe thrombosis and infiltration, and endothelial cell dysfunction might be caused by a pathologic condition in COVID-19 patient lungs rather than a direct infection with SARS-CoV-2.

[Leukemia] When analyzing the effects of BH3-mimetics selectively targeting BCL-XL and MCL-1 alone or in combination with the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax, heterogeneous sensitivity to either of these inhibitors was found in ALL cell lines and in patient-derived xenografts.

[Nature Communications] Scientists found that intermittent but not daily dosing of a PI3Kα/β/δ inhibitor, BAY1082439, on Pten-null prostate cancer models could overcome immune checkpoint therapy resistance and unleash CD8+ T cell-dependent anti-tumor immunity in vivo.
