We report the results of mAb inhibition studies of human lymphocyte-high endothelial venule interaction in vitro. These studies in which T cells from both normal donors and from a LFA-1-deficient patient were used indicate that in addition to a system of organ-specific 90-kDa "homing" receptors on lymphocytes, LFA-1 is also involved in lymphocyte recirculation and homing.

Targeting the Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Pathway: New Opportunities in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Management.
Drugs
October 2024

Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic conditions affecting the intestines, leading to new treatment options through immunotherapies.
- Recently developed S1P modulators, such as ozanimod and etrasimod, work by sequestering T cells in lymphoid tissues, reducing their migration to inflamed gut areas, which helps in controlling IBD symptoms.
- This review highlights the role of the S1P/S1PR signaling pathway in IBD, evaluates the effectiveness and safety of current S1P modulators, and explores future treatment possibilities targeting this pathway.
Lymphocyte homing and recirculation with tumor tertiary lymphoid structure formation: predictions for successful cancer immunotherapy.

Article Synopsis
- * Lymphocyte infiltration and recirculation are controlled by specific molecules and cytokines, and their restricted movement is a major factor in the limited effectiveness of treatments like CAR-T cell therapy and immune checkpoint blockades.
- * Understanding how lymphocytes behave in tumors, including the factors that limit their movement and the role of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), is key to enhancing cancer treatment strategies.
Circulating hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell subsets contribute to human hematopoietic homeostasis.

In physiological conditions, few circulating hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (cHSPCs) are present in the peripheral blood, but their contribution to human hematopoiesis remain unsolved. By integrating advanced immunophenotyping, single-cell transcriptional and functional profiling, and integration site (IS) clonal tracking, we unveiled the biological properties and the transcriptional features of human cHSPC subpopulations in relationship to their bone marrow (BM) counterpart. We found that cHSPCs reduced in cell count over aging and are enriched for primitive, lymphoid, and erythroid subpopulations, showing preactivated transcriptional and functional state.

Ischemic vascular diseases remain leading causes of disability and death. Although various clinical therapies have been tried, reperfusion injury is a major issue, occurring when blood recirculates at the damaged lesion. As an alternative approach, cell-based therapy has emerged.

Successful antiretroviral therapy (ART) can efficiently suppress Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) replication to undetectable levels, but rare populations of infected memory CD4 T cells continue to persist, complicating viral eradication efforts. Memory T cells utilize distinct homing and adhesion molecules to enter, exit, or establish residence at diverse tissue sites, integrating cellular and environmental cues that maintain homeostasis and life-long protection against pathogens. Critical roles for T cell receptor and cytokine signals driving clonal expansion and memory generation during immunity generation are well established, but whether HIV-infected T cells can utilize similar mechanisms for their own long-term survival is unclear.
