The effects of nanostructurized composites argentogalactomannan and argento-poly-1-vinyl-1,2,4-triasole on the kinetics of T cell maturation in the thymus of albino mice were studied. These nanocomposites stimulated the formation of CD3CD4CD8 and CD3CD4CD8 cells from CD3CD4CD8 cells, the effect of argentogalactomannan was more potent. The efficiency of these compounds as agents improving the defense potential deserves special studies.

Mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic regulation control T cell fate in the thymus.

Several studies demonstrated that mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic pathways control T cell fate in the periphery. However, little is known about their implication in thymocyte development. Our results showed that thymic progenitors (CD3CD4CD8 triple negative, TN), in active division, have essentially a fused mitochondrial morphology and rely on high glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Background: Dysregulation of the immune response in the course of COVID-19 has been implicated in critical outcomes. Lymphopenia is evident in severe cases and has been associated with worse outcomes since the early phases of the pandemic. In addition, cytokine storm has been associated with excessive lung injury and concomitant respiratory failure.

Over the past decades, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been coming into view due to increased mortality, the 5-year survival rate being the lowest of all cancers (around 6%). In PDAC, microenvironmental components possess prognostic relevance. The aim of this article is to perform a review of studies evaluating the composition of the tumor microenvironment to identify tumor microenvironment-related prognostic biomarkers in patients with PDAC.

Background/aim: We evaluated the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of Wilms tumor gene 1 (WT1) peptide and Mucin 1 (MUC1)-pulsed dendritic cell (DC) (WT1/MUC1-DC) vaccination as an adjuvant immunotherapy for surgically resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) patients.
Patients And Methods: Eligible patients were administered WT1/MUC1-DC vaccination at least seven times every 2 weeks with concomitant adjuvant chemotherapy after surgical resection of PDA.
Results: Ten patients were enrolled and no Grade 2 or higher toxicities were associated with DC vaccination.
Cytomegalovirus infection is a risk factor for tuberculosis disease in infants.

Immune activation is associated with increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) disease in infants. We performed a case-control analysis to identify drivers of immune activation and disease risk. Among 49 infants who developed TB disease over the first 2 years of life, and 129 healthy matched controls, we found the cytomegalovirus-stimulated (CMV-stimulated) IFN-γ response to be associated with CD8+ T cell activation (Spearman's rho, P = 6 × 10-8).
