B cell stimulatory factor-1 (BSF-1) stimulates resting B cells to increase in volume and prepares these cells to enter the S phase in response to anti-IgM and other B cell mitogens. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) blocks both the volume enlargement and preparation for DNA synthesis caused by BSF-1, although it has little effect on B cells already stimulated by BSF-1. The capacity of IFN-gamma to inhibit the action of BSF-1 on resting B cells suggests a mutual regulatory interaction between these two T cell-derived products.

A histochemical approach to activity-based copper sensing reveals cuproplasia-dependent vulnerabilities in cancer.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

Copper is an essential nutrient for sustaining vital cellular processes spanning respiration, metabolism, and proliferation. However, loss of copper homeostasis, particularly misregulation of loosely bound copper ions which are defined as the labile copper pool, occurs in major diseases such as cancer, where tumor growth and metastasis have a heightened requirement for this metal. To help decipher the role of copper in the etiology of cancer, we report a histochemical activity-based sensing approach that enables systematic, high-throughput profiling of labile copper status across many cell lines in parallel.

Particulate matter (PM) exposure has been proposed as one of the causes of steroid resistance. However, studies investigating this using patient samples or animals are still lacking. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in cytokines and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) activation in patients with steroid resistant asthma and the role of mTOR in a mouse model of steroid resistant asthma induced by PM.

Interferon types-I/II (IFN-αβ/γ) secretions are well-established antiviral host defenses. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) particles are known to prevail following targeted cellular interferon secretion. CD4 T-lymphocytes are the primary receptor targets for HIV entry, but the virus has been observed to hide (be latent) successfully in these cells through an alternate entry route via interactions with LFA1.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), carrying PD-L1, have been implicated in immune evasion and tumor progression. However, understanding how PD-L1 sEVs are secreted still needs to be improved. We found that the secretion dynamics of PD-L1 sEVs is similar to that of other sEVs.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by intestinal inflammation and autoimmune responses. This study aimed to identify diagnostic biomarkers for UC through bioinformatics analysis and machine learning, and to validate these findings through immunofluorescence staining of clinical samples. Differential expression analysis was conducted on expression profile datasets from 4 UC samples.
