Article Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is generally acknowledged to be an autoimmune disease, but its etiology remains unknown. The most intensively studied animal model of MS is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Dendritic cells (DCs), the professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), have gained increasing attention because they connect innate and adaptive immunity. The aim of this study was to determine the role of mature DCs in the pathogenesis of EAE. It was found that the number of mature DCs in the EAE spleen increased compared to the control group (p < 0.05). And there was an imbalance between Th17 (effector) and Treg (regulatory) in EAE. The data showed that mature DCs can regulate the differentiation of Th17 and Treg in EAE. In addition, there was a significant difference in secretion of TGF-β1 and IL-6 between mature DCs from mice with EAE and controls. The present data suggest that mature DCs cause an imbalance between Th17 and Treg by secreting TGF-β1 and IL-6 in the pathogenesis of EAE disease. Thus, targeting DC may be an effective strategy for treating MS.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus causing a major epidemic in the Americas in 2015. Dendritic cells (DCs) are leukocytes with key antiviral functions, but their role in ZIKV infection remains under investigation. While most studies have focused on the monocyte-derived subtype of DCs, less is known about conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), essential for the orchestration of antiviral adaptive immunity.

Background: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are linked to prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but whether the distribution, abundance, and maturity of TLSs affect therapeutic efficacy and prognosis in ESCC treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy (NRCI) remains unclear. We explored TLS characteristics and correlated them with patient survival.
Methods: A total of 157 resectable ESCC patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy between September 2020 and May 2023 were divided into NRCI (n=49) and neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (NCI, n=108) groups.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a lethal salivary gland malignant neoplasm. Lung metastasis is the primary cause of mortality in ACC patients while there is no effective treatment available at present. In this study, a precise and biomimetic nanoplatform, CG/MC/U-M, is designed to combine cuproptosis, gas therapy and immunotherapy against metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma.

The effectiveness of antitumor immunotherapy is limited to immune cell infiltration into solid tumors, primarily via T-cell migration through tumor blood vessels. This study introduces a multifunctional nitric oxide (NO)-driven hollow gold Janus nanomotor (HAM) designed to promote tumor blood vessel normalization and increase T-cell infiltration, thereby enhancing the immune response against tumors. It is revealed that self-generated NO facilitates the penetration of HAM into tumors and increases pericyte coverage of blood vessels, thereby enhancing intratumoral T-cell infiltration.
