Introduction Recently, immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) have become crucial in regulating cancer progression and treatment responses. The dynamic interactions between tumors and immune cells are emerging as a promising strategy to activate the host's immune system against various cancers. The development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involve complex biological processes, with the role of the TME and tumor phenotypes still not fully understood.

Immunological changes are believed to be a part of pre-eclampsia etiology. This study investigated the distribution of the specific peripheral B lymphocyte phenotypes in pre-eclampsia cases compared to uncomplicated pregnancies. The study cohort included 29 women with pre-eclampsia and 14 women with uncomplicated pregnancies.

Background: Cancer immune responses are generated in secondary lymphoid organs, such as the lymph nodes and tonsils. In the current study, transcriptional profiles of peritumoral tonsillar tissues (PTTs) from oropharyngeal cancers (OPCs) were assessed and compared with those of inflammatory tonsils and regional lymph nodes (rLNs).
Methods: RNA samples of PTTs and rLNs from 13 OPCs, and 4 inflammatory tonsils were subjected to microarray analysis, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified from 730 nCounter Panel immune-related genes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global health issue characterized by abnormal blood glucose levels and is often associated with excessive hepatic gluconeogenesis. Increased circulating non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) are consistently observed in individuals with T2D; however, the specific contribution of each amino acid to T2D pathogenesis remains less understood. Here, we report an unexpected role of the NEAA proline in coordinating hepatic glucose metabolism by modulating paraspeckle, a nuclear structure scaffolded by the long non-coding RNA Neat1.

Background: MiR-519d-3p, also called specific placenta biomarkers, is a member of the Chromosome 19 miRNA Cluster (C19MC) with the highest concentrations of miRNAs in human placenta and maternal serum. These miRNAs are secreted by fetal trophoblast cells within extracellular vesicles (EVs) and interact with the mother's immune cells, which has been proposed to be crucial for immunological tolerance at the placental-maternal interface. A key mechanism in preeclampsia, a multifactorial, multipath hypertensive pregnancy illness, is an immunological imbalance between the mother and the fetus.
