Tissue-resident memory (T) T cells have emerged as key players in cancer immunosurveillance, and their presence has been linked to a favorable clinical outcome in solid cancer patients. Liver metastases exhibit a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, however, the role and clinical impact of T cell infiltration in colorectal cancer remain elusive. The expression of several tissue residency and activation biomarkers has been investigated on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes isolated from 26 patients' colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRC liver metastases) and compared to 16 peripheral blood samples of patients with CRC liver metastases.

Gastrointestinal T cells (GI-T) play a critical role in mucosal immunity, balancing tolerance and pathogen defence. T cells recognize antigens via T cell receptors (TCRs). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is utilized to analyse TCR repertoires in contexts such as health, haematological diseases, autoimmunity, and inflammation.

The T-cell receptor sequences expressed on cells recognizing a specific peptide in the context of a given MHC molecule can be explored for common features that might explain their antigen specificity. However, despite the development of numerous experimental and bioinformatic strategies, the specificity problem remains unresolved. To address the need for additional experimental paradigms, we report here on an in vivo experimental strategy designed to artificially diversify a transgenic TCR by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of Tcra and Tcrb chain genes.

However, the incidence rate and clinical significance of APBs remain contentious. Few studies have explored the occurrence and prognostic implications of APBs in patients with MM treated with B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy.

BACKGROUNDCutaneous lichen planus (LP) is a recalcitrant, difficult-to-treat, inflammatory skin disease characterized by pruritic, flat-topped, violaceous papules on the skin. Baricitinib is an oral Janus kinase (JAK) 1/2 inhibitor that interrupts the signaling pathway of IFN-γ, a cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of LP.METHODSIn this phase II trial, 12 patients with cutaneous LP received 2 mg daily baricitinib for 16 weeks, accompanied by in-depth spatial, single-cell, and bulk transcriptomic profiling of pre- and posttreatment samples.
