Growing evidence supports a role for glycolysis in immune activation. Everts et al. (2014) now show that TLR-mediated stimulation of dendritic cells rapidly induces glycolysis, which regenerates NADPH and TCA intermediates to support fatty acid production. This enhances ER and Golgi membrane synthesis and innate activation of dendritic cells.

Background: Nevus of Hori (HN) has been primarily reported in patients of Eastern Asian descent, with a paucity of data regarding HN occurring in African patients. In this study, we report on South African patients with HN initially thought to have melasma.
Objective: To characterize the histopathological and clinical phenotypes of HN in African patients.
Unlabelled: The organizational principles that distinguish the human brain from other species have been a long-standing enigma in neuroscience. Focusing on the uniquely evolved human cortical layers 2 and 3, we computationally reconstruct the cortical architecture for mice and humans. We show that human pyramidal cells form highly complex networks, demonstrated by the increased number and simplex dimension compared to mice.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFTertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are lymphoid formations that develop in non-lymphoid tissues during chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Accurate identification and quantification of TLS in tissue can provide crucial insights into the immune response of several disease processes including antitumor immune response. TLS are defined as aggregates of T cells, B cells and dendritic cells.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are organized immune cell aggregates that arise in chronic inflammatory conditions. In cancer, TLS are associated with better prognosis and enhanced response to immunotherapy, making these structures attractive therapeutic targets. However, the mechanisms regulating TLS formation and maintenance in cancer are incompletely understood.
