Article Abstract

The ability of memory CD8 T cells to patrol non-lymphoid tissues represents an effective method whereby proficient immunosurveillance is achieved. From the analysis of memory CD8 T cell migration in vivo, it is clear that tissue-specific factors control trafficking and residence time within tissues. We propose that at least three pools of memory CD8 T cells exist based on migratory capabilities as dictated by their location in the body. Moreover, we hypothesize that the process of acquisition of homeostatic signals in specific tissues, such as the cytokines IL-7 and IL-15, regulates the mobility of memory T cells.

Background: Synaptic dysfunction and synapse loss occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The current study aimed to identify synaptic-related genes with diagnostic potential for AD.

Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were overlapped with phenotype-associated module selected through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and synaptic-related genes.

Immunometabolism, the intersection of cellular metabolism and immune function, has revolutionized our understanding of T cell biology. Changes in cellular metabolism help guide the development of thymocytes and the transition of T cells from naive to effector, memory and tissue-resident states. Innate-like T cells are a unique group of T cells with special characteristics.

Large B cell lymphomas (LBCL) are clinically and biologically heterogeneous lymphoid malignancies with complex microenvironments that are central to disease etiology. Here, we have employed single-nucleus multiome profiling of 232 tumor and control biopsies to characterize diverse cell types and subsets that are present in LBCL tumors, effectively capturing the lymphoid, myeloid, and non-hematopoietic cell compartments. Cell subsets co-occurred in stereotypical lymphoma microenvironment archetype profiles (LymphoMAPs) defined by; (1) a sparsity of T cells and high frequencies of cancer-associated fibroblasts and tumor-associated macrophages (FMAC); (2) lymph node architectural cell types with naive and memory T cells (LN); or (3) activated macrophages and exhausted CD8 T cells (TEX).

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), including Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), are severe pediatric conditions characterized by profound developmental delays and treatment-resistant epilepsy. Although steroid therapies provide some clinical benefits, the underlying immunological mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we performed comprehensive immune profiling using multi-parametric flow cytometry on PBMCs from IESS (n=25) and LGS (n=9) patients, comparing them with age-matched healthy controls (n=54).
