The amino acid sequence of the T cell receptor (TCR) varies between T cells of an individual's immune system. Particular TCR residues nearly guarantee mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and natural killer T (NKT) cell transcriptional fates. To define how the TCR sequence affects T cell fates, we analyze the paired αβTCR sequence and transcriptome of 961,531 single cells.

Background: The risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission is increasing in temperate climates with the colonization and proliferation of the Asian tiger mosquito vector Aedes albopictus and the rapid mass transport of passengers returning from tropical regions where viruses are endemic. The prevention of major Aedes-borne viruses heavily relies on the use of insecticides for vector control, mainly pyrethroids. In Europe, only deltamethrin is authorized.

Recently, the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β release have been identified as a signaling pathway triggered upon galvanic current application. However, the parameters for the clinical application of galvanic current remain subjective to the experience of the facultative in charge.

Background: High content imaging-based functional precision medicine approaches have been developed and successfully applied in the field of haemato-oncology. For rheumatoid arthritis (RA), treatment selection is still based on a trial-and-error principle, and biomarkers for patient stratification and drug response prediction are needed.
Methods: A high content, high throughput microscopy-based phenotyping pipeline for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was developed, allowing for the quantification of cell type frequencies, cell type specific morphology and intercellular interactions from patients with RA (n = 65) and healthy controls (HC, n = 33).

The gastrointestinal tract is a prominent portal of entry for HIV-1 during sexual or perinatal transmission, as well as a major site of HIV-1 persistence and replication. Elucidation of underlying mechanisms of intestinal HIV-1 infection are thus needed for the advancement of HIV-1 curative therapies. Here, we present a human 2D intestinal immuno-organoid system to model HIV-1 disease that recapitulates tissue compartmentalization and epithelial-immune cellular interactions.
