Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the direct alloresponse in transplant rejection, specifically how recipient T cells recognize allogeneic pMHC complexes.
  • It finds that the precursor frequency of alloreactive CD8 T cells against a single MHC allele is relatively low, ranging from 0.1% to 0.5%, but they show specific responses in terms of proliferation, activation, and cytotoxic abilities.
  • The research also developed a method using artificial antigen-presenting cells to understand T cell responses to kidney peptides, identifying two immunogenic peptides relevant for monitoring transplant rejection in patients.

Importance: A multicenter randomized clinical trial (RCT) showed a lung recruitment maneuver using high-frequency oscillatory ventilation just before surfactant administration (ie, intubate-recruit-surfactant-extubate [IN-REC-SUR-E]) improved the efficacy of treatment compared with the standard intubate-surfactant-extubate (IN-SUR-E) technique without increasing the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes.

Objective: To examine follow-up outcomes at corrected postnatal age (cPNA) 2 years of preterm infants previously enrolled in an RCT and treated with IN-REC-SUR-E or IN-SUR-E in 35 tertiary neonatal intensive care units.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a follow-up study of infants recruited into the primary RCT from 2015 to 2018 at 35 tertiary neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Italy.

Background: β-carboline alkaloids exert a distinguished ability to impair cell growth and induce cell death in a variety of cancers and the evaluation of such new therapeutic candidates may denote new possibilities for leukemia treatment. In this present study, we screened 12 β-carboline derivatives containing different substituents at 1- and 3-positions of β-carboline nucleus for their antineoplastic activities in a panel of leukemia cell lines.

Methods: The cytotoxic effects of the β-carboline derivatives were evaluated in different leukemia cell lines as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, autophagy, and important signaling pathways.

Myeloid neoplasms result from molecular alterations in hematopoietic stem cells, with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) being one of the most aggressive and with a poor prognosis. Hematopoietic cell kinase (HCK) is a proto-oncogene that encodes a protein-tyrosine kinase of the Scr family, and it is highly expressed in AML. The present study investigated HCK expression in normal hematopoietic cells across myeloid differentiation stages and myeloid neoplasm patients.
