The monocyte subset partitioning by flow cytometry, known as "monocyte assay," is now integrated into the new classifications as a supporting criterion for CMML diagnosis, if a relative accumulation of classical monocytes above 94% of total circulating monocytes is observed. Here we provide clinical flow cytometry laboratories with technical support adapted for the most commonly used cytometers. Step-by-step explanations of the gating strategy developed on whole peripheral blood are presented while underlining the most common difficulties. In a second part, interpretation recommendations of circulating monocyte partitioning from the dedicated French working group "CytHem-LMMC" are shared as well as the main pitfalls, including false positive and false negative cases. The particular flow-defined inflammatory profile is described and the usefulness of the nonclassical monocyte specific marker, namely slan, highlighted. Examples of reporting to the physician with frequent situations encountered when using the monocyte assay are also presented.

Forkhead-box-protein P3 (FOXP3) is a key transcription factor in T regulatory cells (Tregs). However, its expression and significance in non-immune stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated FOXP3 expression in stromal fibroblasts of mouse and human gastrointestinal tumors.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) carries a substantial risk of recurrence and metastasis, posing significant threats to patients' health and quality of life. Centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55) has been demonstrated to exhibit elevated expression levels in TNBC. However, its molecular regulatory mechanism in TNBC remains unclear.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) exclusively infects hepatocytes and produces large quantities of subviral particles containing its surface antigen (HBsAg). T cells play a central role in controlling HBV infection but can also mediate liver injury and contribute to disease progression. However, the mechanisms that regulate T-cell responses to eliminate the virus without causing immunopathology during acute HBV infection remain poorly defined.

Translocon-associated protein subunit beta (TRAPβ), also known as signal sequence receptor 2 (SSR2) serves as an auxiliary protein facilitating co-translational translocation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, its role in colorectal cancer is unknown to date. The objectives of the current study are to examine if TRAPβ/SSR2 knockdown affects the cell proliferation and to elucidate mechanisms by which TRAPβ/SSR2 regulates proliferation of human colorectal cancer. We silenced TRAPβ/SSR2 transiently and stably in human colorectal cancer cell lines and analyzed cell proliferative properties.
