Background: Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease and its pathogenesis often involves the participation of numerous immune cells and inflammatory factors. Despite increased researches and studies recently focusing on this area, it remains to be fully elucidated. We decide to incorporate genetic insight into investigation of the causal link between various immune cells, inflammatory factors and pathogenesis of Sjogren syndrome (SS).

Objective: To investigate the significance of VISTA in bronchial asthma and its impact on the disease.
Methods: Human peripheral blood of asthma children was gathered. The expression concentrations of VISTA, IL-4, IL-6, CD25, CD40L, and PD-L2 in peripheral blood plasma were detected by ELISA.

Positronium (Ps) is a valuable probe to investigate nanometric or sub-nanometric cavities in non-metallic materials, where Ps can be confined. Accessible experimental measurements concern the lifetime of trapped Ps, which is largely influenced by pick-off processes, depending on the size of the cavity as well as on the density of the electrons belonging to the surface of the host trap. Another relevant physical quantity is the contact density, that is the electron density at the positron position, which is usually found to be well below the vacuum value.

Hyper-IgM1 is a rare X-linked combined immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the CD40 ligand () gene with a median survival of 25 years, potentially treatable with CD4+ T cell gene editing with Cas9 and a one-size-fits-most corrective donor template. Here, starting from our research-grade editing protocol, we pursued the development of a good manufacturing practice (GMP)-compliant, scalable process that allows for correction, selection and expansion of edited cells, using an integrase defective lentiviral vector as donor template. After systematic optimization of reagents and conditions we proved maintenance of stem and central memory phenotypes and expression and function of in edited healthy donor and patient cells recapitulating the physiological regulation.
