Aging is associated with increased tumor metastasis and poor prognosis. However, how an aging immune system contributes to the process is unclear. Here, single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that in male mice, aging shifts the lung immune microenvironment towards a premetastatic niche, characterized by an increased proportion of IL-17-expressing γδT (γδ17) and neutrophils.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare human autoinflammatory disorder with life-threatening systemic effects. Keratinocyte-derived interleukin (IL)-36 signaling has been identified as a key mediator of immune response in the skin of affected individuals. Recognition of various mutations along the IL-36 axis and the downstream nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB) signaling have established GPP as genetically, immunologically, and histopathologically distinct and amenable to immunomodulation, which is epitomized by the recent success of IL-36 antagonism.

Background: Heredity and epigenetics affect the pathogenesis of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) polymorphisms (rs2304256C > A, rs280519A > G, and rs12720270G > A) may be potential protective factors against anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Current research suggests that TYK2 is associated with various autoimmune diseases; however, no study has examined the relationship between TYK2 polymorphisms and AAV.

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is one of the most common autoimmune skin diseases of dogs and cats and is characterized by the development of pustules, crusts, erosions, scales, and alopecia. Albeit poorly understood, the pathophysiology of canine and feline PF appears to involve immune dysregulation and immunoglobulin G autoantibodies that are directed against the keratinocyte cell surface. At present, the management of canine and feline PF relies on the long-term to lifelong prescription of immunosuppressive medications.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of the different proportions of crescent formation on clinical manifestations and pathological features in children with immunoglobulin A vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN).
Methods: The children with IgAVN were divided into no-crescent group (75 children), ≤25% crescent group (156 children), and >25% crescent group (33 children).
Results: Compared with the no-crescent group, the other two groups had significant increases in 24-hour urinary protein, urinary immunoglobulin G (IgG)/creatinine ratio, urine red blood cell count, fibrinogen, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, a significant reduction in serum IgG, and a significantly higher proportion of children with low albumin and hypercoagulability, pathological grade III+IV or diffuse mesangial proliferation (<0.
