Article Abstract
The increasing scarcity of organs and the significant morbidity linked to dialysis require the development of engineered kidney tissues from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. Integrative approaches that synergize scalable kidney organoid differentiation, tissue biomanufacturing, and comprehensive assessment of their immune response and host integration are essential to accomplish this. Here, we create engineered human kidney tissues composed of organoid building blocks (OBBs) and transplant them into mice reconstituted with allogeneic human immune cells. Tissue-infiltrating human immune cells are composed of effector T cells and innate cells. This immune infiltration leads to kidney tissue injury characterized by reduced microvasculature, enhanced kidney cell apoptosis, and an inflammatory gene signature comparable to kidney organ transplant rejection in humans. Upon treatment with the immunosuppressive agent rapamycin, the induced immune response is greatly suppressed. Our model is a translational platform to study engineered kidney tissue immunogenicity and develop therapeutic targets for kidney rejection.

Macrophage cannibalism: efferocytosis in atherosclerosis.
Curr Opin Lipidol
August 2025
Cardiometabolic Immunity Laboratory, Department of Physiology, Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) and Victorian Heart Institute (VHI), Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Purpose Of Review: This review explores the evolving understanding of efferocytosis - the clearance of dead or dying cells by phagocytes - in the context of atherosclerosis. It highlights recent discovers in cell death modalities, impaired clearance mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring efferocytosis to stabilize plaques and resolve inflammation.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have expanded the scope of efferocytosis beyond apoptotic cells to include other pro-inflammatory cell death modes, including pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis, revealing context-dependent clearance efficiency and immunological outcomes.
Longitudinal imaging evaluation of the inflammatory role of purinergic AA receptors during subacute and chronic ischemic stroke.

Adenosine A receptors (AARs) have shown promising therapeutic properties despite their controversial role in modulating stroke outcome. However, the temporal evolution of cerebral AARs density after cerebral ischemia and its subsequent neuroinflammatory response have been scarcely explored. In this study, the expression of AARs after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was evaluated in rats by positron emission tomography (PET) with [C]SCH442416 and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Purpose Of Review: Autoimmune nodopathies (AN) are a recognized distinct group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies with unique immunopathological features and therapeutic implications. This review synthesizes recent advances in their pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management, which have refined their clinical classification and informed targeted treatment strategies.
Recent Findings: AN are characterized by autoantibodies targeting surface proteins in the nodal-paranodal area (anti-contactin-1, anti-contactin-associated protein 1, anti-neurofascin-155, anti-pan-neurofascin), predominantly of IgG4 subclass.
Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that acts as a central regulator of inflammation and immune responses across diverse organ systems. Functioning upstream in immune activation cascades, MIF influences macrophage polarization, T and B cell differentiation, and cytokine expression through CD74, CXCR2/4/7, and downstream signaling via NF-κB, ERK1/2, and PI3K/AKT pathways. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of MIF's mechanistic functions under both physiological and pathological conditions, highlighting its dual role as a protective mediator during acute stress and as a pro-inflammatory amplifier in chronic disease.

Vibrio infections cause enteritis in grouper fish, leading to high mortality and stunted growth, which is a major challenge for aquaculture. Oligochitosans, marine prebiotics with bioactive properties, have proven their potential for growth promotion and immune regulation. However, the impacts of Vibrio harveyi on the gut microbiome of grouper fish and the potential of oligochitosans to modulate these effects remain poorly understood.
