B cells play a key role in humoral immune responses by producing antibodies. Although there are numerous research on memory B cells definition markers and cytokines on B cell development, different studies have yielded contradictory conclusions due to species studied, the different cells and stimulating agents used. In the current study, we conducted a detailed characterization of B cells in human CBMCs, PBMCs and tonsil, including expression of Igs, activation and memory markers. Furthermore, we found that considerable amounts of IgA and IgG were expressed by CD27 B cells. These "Atypical" memory B cells corresponded to approximately 50% of IgG and IgAB cells in blood, this proportion even reached 90% in tonsil. In addition, we investigated the effect of IL-21 and TGF-β1 on the membrane-bound form and secreted form of Igs using PBMCs and purified blood B cells. There were actual differences between the effect of cytokines on Igs secretion and surface expression. Our study will be helpful to advance the knowledge and understanding of humoral memory.

Disrupted hippocampal functions and progressive neuronal loss represent significant challenges in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). How to achieve the improvement of pathological progression and effective neural regeneration to ameliorate the intracerebral dysfunctional environment and cognitive impairment is the goal of the current AD therapy. We examined the therapeutic potential of clinical-grade human derived dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) in cognitive function and neuropathology in AD.

The development of the mammalian neocortex is precisely regulated by temporal gene expression, yet the temporal regulatory mechanisms of cortical neurogenesis, particularly how radial glial cells (RGCs) sequentially generate deep to superficial neurons, remain unclear. Here, the hnRNP family member Syncrip (hnRNP Q) is identified as a key modulator of superficial neuronal differentiation in neocortical neurogenesis. Syncrip knockout in RGCs disrupts differentiation and abnormal neuronal localization, ultimately resulting in superficial cortical layer defects as well as learning and memory impairments in mice.

Problem: Although it is still uncertain whether Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) placental infection and vertical transmission occur, inflammation during early pregnancy can have devastating consequences for gestation itself and the growing fetus. If and how SARS-CoV-2-specific immune cells negatively affect placenta functionality is still unknown.
Method Of Study: We stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from women of reproductive age with SARS-CoV-2 peptides and cocultured them with trophoblast spheroids (HTR-8/SVneo and JEG-3) to dissect if SARS-CoV-2-activated immune cells can interfere with trophoblast functionality.

Sevoflurane (Sev) is a widely applied anesthetic in clinical practice; however, it could induce neurotoxicity and lead to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). This study aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of circHOMER1 in Sev-induced neurotoxicity and POCD. Sev treated mouse hippocampal neuronal HT22 cells and SD rats.

Patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) progressing after anti-CD19 CAR T-cell (CAR19) therapy have poor outcomes. Subsequent CAR T-cell therapy shows promise, but the impact of residual CAR19 and early relapse remains unclear. We evaluated 37 CAR19-refractory LBCL patients who received anti-CD22 CAR T-cell (CAR22) in a phase 1b trial (NCT04088890).
