AI Article Synopsis

  • Current understanding of lymphocyte migration suggests that naïve lymphocytes move between blood and lymph nodes but don't reach non-lymphoid tissues.
  • Research showed many B lymphocytes in peripheral areas resemble naïve B cells and are found within tissues rather than near blood vessels.
  • Findings indicate that naïve B cells not only exist but may also migrate in non-lymphoid organs, challenging existing views on their role in immune response and tolerance.

Article Abstract

The current view of lymphocyte migration states that naïve lymphocytes re-circulate between the blood and the lymph via the lymph nodes, but are not able to access non-lymphoid tissues. We examined B lymphocytes in peripheral tissues and found that the majority were phenotypically similar to naïve B cells in lymphoid tissues and were located within the parenchyma, not associated with blood vessels. The mutation rate within the Vh region of these cells was substantially less than the rate attributed to somatic hypermutation and was identical to that observed in naïve B cells isolated from the lymph nodes, showing the presence of naïve B cells in the non-lymphoid organs. Further, using FTY720-treated mice, we showed that naïve B cells migrate through the peripheral tissues and, using pertussis toxin, that the entry of B cells was not controlled by chemokine-mediated signalling events. Overall, these results show that naïve B lymphocytes constitute the majority of the total B-cell population in non-lymphoid tissues and suggest that these cells may re-circulate through the periphery as part of their normal migration pathway. This has implications for the current view of the role of naïve B cells in priming and tolerance.

Objective: Mobilization and collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are time-intensive and costly. Excessive apheresis sessions can cause physical discomfort for donors and increase the costs associated with collection. Therefore, it is essential to identify key predictive factors for successful harvests to minimize the need for multiple apheresis procedures.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by the (oligo)clonal expansion of myeloid progenitor cells. Despite advances in treatment, AML remains challenging to cure, particularly in patients with specific genetic abnormalities. Menin inhibitors have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach, targeting key genetic drivers of AML such as KMT2A rearrangements and NPM1 mutations.

Nanoparticles have been of significant interest in various biomedical domains such as drug delivery, gene delivery, cytotoxicity analysis, and imaging. Despite the synthesis of a variety of nanoparticles, their cellular uptake efficiency remains a substantial obstacle, with only a small fraction of delivered nanoparticles (NPs) have been reported to traverse the cell membrane within 24 h. Consequently, higher doses are often necessitated, leading to increased toxicity concerns.

In the circulatory system, the microenvironment surrounding cancer cells is complex and involves multiple coupled factors. We selected two core physical factors, shear stress and hydraulic resistance, and constructed a microfluidic device with dual negative inputs to study the trade-off movement behavior of cancer cells when facing coupled factors. We detected significant shear stress escape phenomena in the MDA-MB-231 cell line and qualitatively explained this behavior using a cellular force model.

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a disorder mediated by autoantibodies against the GluN1 subunit of NMDAR. It occurs with severe neuropsychiatric symptoms that often improve with immunotherapy. Clinical studies and animal models based on patients' antibody transfer or NMDAR immunization suggest that the autoantibodies play a major pathogenic role.
