The manufacturing process of regulatory T (Treg) cells for clinical application begins with the positive selection of CD25 cells using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION)-conjugated anti-CD25 antibodies (spCD25) and immunomagnetic cell separation technology. Our findings revealed that the interaction of spCD25 with its cell target induced the internalization of the complex spCD25-interleukin-2 receptor. Accumulation of intracellular spCD25 triggered oxidative stress, causing delayed Treg expansion and temporary reduction in suppressor activity.

Article Synopsis
  • IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is a pediatric disease characterized by skin and systemic symptoms, and researchers conducted comprehensive studies involving genome, transcriptome, and proteome analyses on a large cohort of IgAV patients and controls to better understand the disease mechanisms.* -
  • Significant associations were found with specific genetic risk factors, including two novel non-HLA loci linked to IgA receptor functioning, which may contribute to disease development through altered immune responses.* -
  • Systems biology approaches helped identify key regulatory networks and master regulators in myeloid cells, along with 21 genetic loci that overlap with IgA nephropathy, suggesting shared pathways in these related conditions.*

The copackaging of mRNAs into biomolecular condensates called germ granules is a conserved strategy to posttranscriptionally regulate germline mRNAs. In Drosophila melanogaster, mRNAs accumulate in germ granules by forming homotypic clusters, aggregates containing multiple transcripts from the same gene. Nucleated by Oskar (Osk), homotypic clusters are generated through a stochastic seeding and self-recruitment process that requires the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of germ granule mRNAs.

Article Synopsis
  • IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a serious kidney disease linked to IgA buildup, and a large study identified 30 genetic risk factors associated with it.
  • Fourteen new loci were discovered that suggest a connection between genetic influences and abnormal IgA levels.
  • The research highlights inflammation-related pathways and potential drug targets, revealing that higher genetic risk scores are tied to earlier kidney failure.

Background: Constructing serologic profiles of donors is the first step in establishing traceability in the donation and transplant process. These data allow us to implement various strategies to enhance the recipients' quality of care. We present the serologic profiles of donors in Argentina between 2017 and 2021.
