A 66-yr-old man with a history of interdigitating reticulum cell tumor (IDRCT) presented with an enlarging right cervical lymph node suspicious of recurrent disease. He reported no fevers or night sweats and was otherwise asymptomatic at the time of the fine-needle aspiration (FNA). FNA of the lymph node showed a spindle cell lesion with plump, at times deeply convoluted, large nuclei, coarsely granular chromatin, with one or two distinct nucleoli, intimately associated with mature-appearing lymphocytes. A cell block was made and immunohistochemistry was carried out. Immunopositivity for vimentin, S-100, and CD68 and immunonegativity for CD21 and AE1/AE3 were noted. This case report is the first to illustrate the FNA cytomorphology of IDRCT and to discuss the cytologic differential diagnosis of this rare tumor type in lymph nodes.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes persistent infection, causes infectious mononucleosis, is a major trigger for multiple sclerosis and contributes to multiple cancers. Yet, knowledge remains incomplete about how the virus remodels host B cells to support lytic replication. We previously identified that EBV lytic replication results in selective depletion of plasma membrane (PM) B cell receptor (BCR) complexes, composed of immunoglobulin and the CD79A and CD79B signaling chains.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are a life-threatening cardiovascular disease for which there is a lack of effective therapy preventing aortic rupture. During AAA formation, pathological vascular remodeling is driven by vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) dysfunction and apoptosis, for which the mechanisms regulating loss of VSMCs within the aortic wall remain poorly defined. Using single-cell RNA-Seq of human AAA tissues, we identified increased activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response pathway, PERK/eIF2α/ATF4, in aortic VSMCs resulting in upregulation of an apoptotic cellular response.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are integral to T cell biology, influencing immune responses and associated diseases. This review explores the interplay between the UPR and T cell immunity, highlighting the role of these cellular processes in T cell activation, differentiation, and function. The UPR, mediated by IRE1, PERK, and ATF6, is crucial for maintaining ER homeostasis and supporting T cell survival under stress.

Steroidal saponins in Paris polyphylla featuring complicated sugar chains exhibit notable biological activities, but the sugar chain biosynthesis is still not fully understood. Here, we identified a 4'-O-rhamnosyltransferase (UGT73DY2) from P. polyphylla, which catalyzes the 4'-O-rhamnosylation of polyphyllins V and VI, producing dioscin and pennogenin 3-O-β-chacotrioside, respectively.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, marked by progressive brain degeneration and cognitive decline. A major pathological feature of AD is the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) in the form of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which leads to neuronal death and neurodegeneration. P-tau also induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activates the unfolded protein response, causing inflammation and apoptosis.
