Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and deadliest forms of liver cancer worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis for HCC patients remains poor due to the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and immunological factors driving its progression. Understanding the immune landscape of HCC is crucial for developing effective therapies, particularly in the field of immunotherapy, which holds great promises for improving patient outcomes. This study employs mass cytometry (cytometry by time-of-flight [CyTOF]) technology to investigate both systemic and local immune responses in patients with HCC. By analyzing peripheral blood and tumor samples, the research aims to identify unique immune cell populations, and their functional states associated with HCC progression. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of the immune landscape in HCC, highlighting potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This approach offers valuable insights into the immune mechanisms underlying HCC and paves the way for the development of more effective immunotherapies for this malignancy.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The high mortality rate associated with severe influenza partly results from delayed initiation of antiviral therapy and subsequent cytokine storms. Jiuwei Qianghuo Decoction combined with Zhuye Shigao Decoction (JZF) has been clinically prescribed to prevent the progression to a more severe illness in influenza treatment. However, the precise mode of action and active components have not yet been elucidated.

Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHL) is characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) that supports disease progression. While immune cell recruitment by Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells is well-documented, the role of non-malignant B cells in relapse remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on paired diagnostic and relapsed CHL samples, we identified distinct shifts in B-cell populations, particularly an enrichment of naïve B cells and a reduction of memory B cells in early-relapse compared to late-relapse and newly diagnosed CHL.

Diagnosis is challenging, and there is no established standard first-line treatment. This case report highlights a rare progression from AITL to therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML-pCT) following cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Steroid-refractory gut acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-Gut-aGVHD) is the major cause of nonrelapse death after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. High numbers of donor-type IL-22+ T cells, IL-22-dependent dysbiosis, and loss of antiinflammatory CX3CR1hi mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) play critical roles in SR-Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis. CEACAM1 on intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is proposed to regulate bacterial translocation and subsequent immune responses in the intestine.

Objectives: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of lung tumors and is marked by aggressive growth and early metastatic spread. In this study, we used two SCLC mouse models with differing tumor mutation burdens (TMB). To investigate tumor composition, spatial architecture, and interactions with the surrounding microenvironment, we acquired multiplexed images of mouse lung tumors using imaging mass cytometry (IMC).
