Article Abstract
The signals controlling marginal zone (MZ) and follicular (FO) B cell development remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that AKT orchestrates MZ B cell formation in mice and humans. Genetic models that increase AKT signaling in B cells or abolish its impact on FoxO transcription factors highlight the AKT-FoxO axis as an on-off switch for MZ B cell formation in mice. In humans, splenic immunoglobulin (Ig) DCD27 B cells, proposed as an MZ B cell equivalent, display higher AKT signaling than naive IgDCD27 and memory IgDCD27 B cells and develop in an AKT-dependent manner from their precursors in vitro, underlining the conservation of this developmental pathway. Consistently, CD148 is identified as a receptor indicative of the level of AKT signaling in B cells, expressed at a higher level in MZ B cells than FO B cells in mice as well as humans.

ARL13B-Cerulean rescues Arl13b-null mouse from embryonic lethality and reveals a role for ARL13B in spermatogenesis.

ARL13B is a regulatory GTPase enriched in cilia, making it a popular marker for this organelle. Arl13bhnn/hnn mice lack ARL13B expression, die during midgestation, and exhibit defects in ciliogenesis. The R26Arl13b-Fucci2aR biosensor mouse line directs the expression of fluorescently tagged full-length Arl13b cDNA upon Cre recombination.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) represents a challenging complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by slow healing processes. Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) has been identified as a significant factor in the pathogenesis of various diabetic complications, including DFU. However, the precise underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated.

The GM2 gangliosidoses are lysosomal storage disorders exhibiting a spectrum of neurological phenotypes ranging from childhood death to debilitating adult-onset neurological impairment. To date, no mouse model harbouring a specific human mutation causing GM2 gangliosidosis has been created. We used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate knockin (KI) mice with the common adult-onset Hexa Gly269Ser variant as well as knockout (KO) mice with Hexa mutations expected to cause complete HexA deficiency.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic dermatological disorder characterized by intense pruritus and eczematous lesions. Repeated topical application of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) in NC/Nga mice produces AD-like clinical symptoms that closely resemble human AD. N-Acetyl-L-Alanine (L-NAA), a derivative of L-Alanine, has unknown biological and physiological effects on cutaneous tissue.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of avitinib for suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation and alleviating septic shock and explore the underlying mechanism.
Methods: Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from healthy volunteers were pre-treated with avitinib, followed by activation of the canonical NLRP3 inflammasome using agonists including nigericin, monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, or adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation was induced intracellular transfection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
