Article Abstract

The pool of memory-phenotype CD8 T cells is composed of Ag-induced (AI) and cytokine-induced innate (IN) cells. IN cells have been described as having properties similar to those of AI memory cells. However, we found that pathogen-induced AI memory cells can be distinguished in mice from naturally generated IN memory cells by surface expression of NKG2D. Using this marker, we described the increased functionalities of AI and IN memory CD8 T cells compared with naive cells, as shown by comprehensive analysis of cytokine secretion and gene expression. However, AI differed from IN memory CD8 T cells by their capacity to migrate to the lung parenchyma upon inflammation or infection, a process dependent on their expression of ITGA1/CD49a and ITGA4/CD49d integrins.

genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9 systems is generating worldwide attention and enthusiasm for the possible treatment of genetic disorders. However, the consequences of potential immunogenicity of the bacterial Cas9 protein and the AAV capsid have been the subject of considerable debate. Here, we model the antigen presentation in cells after gene editing by transduction of a human cell line with an AAV2 vector that delivers the Cas9 transgene.

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.

Evaluation of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as recommended by current guidelines is largely based on stromal regions within the tumor. In the context of epithelial malignancies, the epithelial region and the epithelial-stromal interface are not assessed, because of technical difficulties in manually discerning lymphocytes when admixed with epithelial tumor cells. The inability to quantify immune cells in epithelial-associated areas may negatively impact evaluation of patient response to immune checkpoint therapies.

Complete Response to BET Inhibitor in Primary Pulmonary NUT Carcinoma With Single-Cell Sequencing-Based Analysis: A Case Report.

JTO Clin Res Rep

October 2025

Clinical Research Center (CRC), Medical Pathology Center (MPC), Cancer Early Detection and Treatment Center (CEDTC), and Translational Medicine Research Center (TMRC), Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital, Wanzhou District, Chongqing, People's Republic of China.

NUT carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy characterized by rapid progression, resistance to conventional therapies, and an extremely poor prognosis. This report presents a 36-year-old patient with stage IIIB primary pulmonary NUT carcinoma who achieved remarkable clinical outcomes with NHWD-870 monotherapy, a novel BET inhibitor. After just 1 month of treatment, imaging revealed a partial response, and a complete response was achieved within 5 months.

Background: Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) regulates platelet production by promoting megakaryocyte proliferation and has shown promising therapeutic effects in hematopoietic recovery for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). However, its potential impact on immune cells remains unclear.

Methods: This study included 23 patients with SAA, who were divided into two groups based on whether they received rhTPO.
