Mapping the dynamics of immune cell populations over time or disease-course is key to understanding immunopathogenesis and devising putative interventions. We present TrackSOM, a novel method for delineating cellular populations and tracking their development over a time- or disease-course cytometry datasets. We demonstrate TrackSOM-enabled elucidation of the immune response to West Nile Virus infection in mice, uncovering heterogeneous subpopulations of immune cells and relating their functional evolution to disease severity. TrackSOM is easy to use, encompasses few parameters, is quick to execute, and enables an integrative and dynamic overview of the immune system kinetics that underlie disease progression and/or resolution.

The activation of the STING-mediated signaling pathway leads to the secretion of type I interferon (IFN) and the activation of tumor-specific T cells. STING, a pattern recognition receptor located on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane of immune cells, binds with endogenous cyclic dinucleotides. STING undergoes phosphorylation, triggering the STING-TBK1-IRF3 pathway and NF-κB pathway, resulting in the release of IFN-β and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, ultimately enhancing the activation of tumor-specific T cells.

Background: Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a slow-growing but invasive tumor that affects brain function. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a critical role in gene regulation and tumor progression. This study aims to develop a prognostic model based on HDAC-related genes to aid in risk stratification and predict therapeutic responses.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in a cataclysmic pandemic. Several SARS-CoV-2 mutations have been found and reported since the COVID-19 pandemic began. After the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants, the Omicron (B.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs) is implicated in antitumor immunity. However, the exact role of ERs in mediating the effects of dendritic cells (DCs) is not unclear. In this study, we explored the role of exosomes derived from ER-stressed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in the antitumor effects of DCs and the precise underlying mechanism.
