Bioengineered In Vitro 3D Model of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Human Skeletal Muscle

Biofabrication tools can be applied to engineer human three-dimensional culture systems that complement current preclinical research models. Investigators described the development of the first in vitro three-dimensional model of myotonic dystrophy type 1 human skeletal muscle.

Human Anogenital Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells and langerin+cDC2 Are Major HIV Target Cells

Scientsts showed that HIV could penetrate the epithelial surface to interact with sub-epithelial resident mononuclear phagocytes in anogenital explants and defined the full array of subsets that were present in the human anogenital and colorectal tissues that HIV may encounter during sexual transmission.

Neutrophil Subtypes Shape HIV-Specific CD8 T-cell Responses after Vaccinia Virus Infection

Scientists found that these neutrophil subtypes showed distinct migratory and motility patterns and different ability to interact with CD8 T cells in the spleen following vaccinia virus infection.

Control of IFN-I Responses by the Aminopeptidase IRAP in Neonatal C57BL/6 Alveolar Macrophages during RSV Infection

Neonatal C57BL/6 alveolar macrophages mobilized very weakly the IFN-I pathway upon Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection in vitro and failed to restrain virus replication.
