Ansari et al. identified a subset of CD4 T cells (CXCR5PD-1) resembling T follicular helper (Tfh) cells in patients with severe dengue. This subset helps B cell responses via IL-21 and can also differentiate into cytotoxic CD4 T cells.

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a life-threatening peripheral vascular disease with a complex pathogenesis. Altered mitochondrial function in vascular smooth muscle cells has been implicated in TAA development. However, the link between mitochondrial functional status and immune cell behavior in TAA patients remains largely unexplored.

Objectives: To explore the correlation between tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and tumor-associated angiogenesis (TAA) in the tumor microenvironment with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of primary large B-cell lymphoma of immune-privileged sites (LBCL-IP).

Methods: A total of 46 cases of LBCL-IP from the Department of Pathology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, from January 2010 to February 2024, were collected, along with clinical and follow-up data of LBCL-IP patients. Immunohistochemistry and triple immunofluorescence were used to detect related proteins of TAMs, TILs, and TAA, and to analyze the correlation between TAMs, TILs, TAA, and the polarization of TAMs with the clinical and prognostic factors of LBCL-IP patients.

Nimodipine, a calcium antagonist, exert beneficial neurovascular protective effects in clinic. Recently, Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) was reported to protect against liver fibrosis in mice, while the exact effects of Nimodipine on liver injury and hepatic fibrosis remain unclear. In this study, we assessed the effect of nimodipine in Thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis mouse model.

Article Synopsis
  • Therapeutic vaccinations aim to prevent cancer by triggering immune responses against specific tumor-associated antigens (TAA) found in cancer cells.
  • These vaccinations primarily focus on activating CD8 T lymphocytes, which play a crucial role in suppressing tumor growth by releasing cytokines.
  • The review discusses how peptide-based vaccines enhance the production of important cytokines like IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-12, and also examines the mechanisms of T cell activation and dysfunction.

Tumor-mediated immunosuppression is a fundamental obstacle to the development of dendritic cell (DC)-based cancer vaccines, which despite their ability to stimulate host anti-tumor CD8 T cell immunity, have not been able to generate meaningful therapeutic responses. Exosomes are inactive membrane vesicles that are nanoscale in size and are produced by the endocytic pathway. They are essential for intercellular communication.
