AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Secondary lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes, harbor highly specialized and compartmentalized niches. These niches are optimized to facilitate the encounter of naive lymphocytes with antigens and antigen-presenting cells, enabling optimal generation of adaptive immune responses. Lymphatic vessels of lymphoid organs are uniquely specialized to perform a staggering variety of tasks. These include antigen presentation, directing the trafficking of immune cells but also modulating immune cell activation and providing factors for their survival. Recent studies have provided insights into the molecular basis of such specialization, opening avenues for better understanding the mechanisms of immune-vascular interactions and their applications. Such knowledge is essential for designing better treatments for human diseases given the central role of the immune system in infection, aging, tissue regeneration and repair. In addition, principles established in studies of lymphoid organ lymphatic vessel functions and organization may be applied to guide our understanding of specialization of vascular beds in other organs.

Background: The tumor immune microenvironment, including neutrophils and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), is pivotal for HCC prognosis assessment. Tumor-associated neutrophils exhibit plasticity, adopting either an antitumorigenic N1 (MPO+ CD206-) or a pro-tumorigenic N2 (MPO+ CD206+) phenotype. We explored the prognostic value of neutrophil plasticity and TLS maturity in HCC in both tumor and peritumoral tissues and addressed their interaction.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disastrous phenomenon which is considered to cause high mortality and morbidity rate. Regarding the importance of TBI due to its prevalence and its effects on the brain and other organs, finding new therapeutic methods and improvement of conventional therapies seems to be vital. TBI involves a complex physiological mechanism, with inflammation being a key component among various contributing factors.

B lymphocytes (B cells) are a type of white blood cell that play an essential role in the adaptive immune response. They are derived from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and undergo several developmental stages in the bone marrow and secondary lymphoid organs to become effector cells. B cells can act as antigen-presenting cells, secrete cytokines, generate immunological memory as memory B cells, and produce and secrete high-affinity antibodies as plasma B cells.

Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells are populations which settle down in non-lymphoid tissues instead of returning to secondary lymph organs after the antigen presentation. These cells can provide rapid on-site immune protection as well as long-term tissue damage. It is reported that TRM cells from small intestine and colon exhibited distinctive patterns of cytokine and granzyme expression along with substantial transcriptional and functional heterogeneity.

Specialized memory CD4 T cells that reside long-term within tissues are critical components of immunity at portals of pathogen entry. In the lung, such tissue-resident memory (TRM) cells are activated rapidly after infection and promote local inflammation to control pathogen levels before circulating T cells can respond. However, optimal clearance of Influenza A virus can require TRM and responses by other virus-specific T cells that reach the lung only several days after their activation in secondary lymphoid organs.
