Heart Failure Promotes Multimorbidity through Innate Immune Memory Background Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a common and fatal disease. Despite continuous advancements in medical technology, the mortality rate of heart failure remains high. HF patients frequently experience recurrent acute decompensation, which not only leads to the continuous...
Research Background γδ T cells play an important role in the immune system, particularly in protective immunity, homeostasis, and tissue repair. Unlike conventional αβ T cells, which are restricted by major histocompatibility complex (MHC), γδ T cells directly seed peripheral tissues and respond to various microbial stimuli without relying on MHC-p...
Inducing Immune Tolerance through Peripheral Clonal Deletion Targeting PD-1 Expressing Cells Background Introduction The establishment of T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire through thymic negative selection is a key process for achieving self-tolerance and acquired tolerance post-organ transplantation. However, it remains unclear whether the specific...
New Findings on the Detection of Single-Stranded DNA by the Human Immune System: The Role of Schlafen 11 in Innate Immune Response Research Background In the innate immune system, pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play a crucial role. They initiate an immune response by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associ...
Report: Intrinsic Role of m6A Reader Protein YTHDF2 in Regulating Tumor Immune Evasion Background Introduction In recent years, immunotherapy has become a hotspot in the field of tumor treatment, attracting attention for its ability to break through immune suppression barriers or enhance existing anti-tumor immunity. However, despite some successes...
Tumor Immunology Research: The Exhausted State of CD8+ T Cells in Tumors In recent years, immunotherapy has achieved significant progress in the field of tumor treatment. However, tracking the behavior of lymphocytes following antigen signals remains challenging. This study aims to address this issue by developing Antigen Receptor Signaling Reporte...
Tissue-Resident Capacity of Long-Term Surviving KLRG1+ Effector Memory T Cells Background Memory CD8 T cells play a crucial role in the body’s defense against pathogen reinfection. Memory T cells are a heterogeneous group of cells present in various tissues throughout the body, providing essential surveillance and rapid response functions. Memory T...
In the past few decades, with the rapid development of science and technology, human understanding of the immune system has continuously deepened. Among all immune cells, professional phagocytes (such as neutrophils and macrophages) play a crucial role in clearing apoptotic cells, cell debris, and invading pathogens. These cells uptake and engulf f...
Cancer Immunology Research: Overexpression of MALAT1 Drives Lung Adenocarcinoma Metastasis Through Inflammatory Reprogramming Background Introduction MALAT1 (Metastasis-associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) closely linked to tumor progression and metastasis in several cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (L...
Cancer Immunology Lactate-SREBP2 Signaling Axis-Driven Tolerogenic Dendritic Cell Maturation and Its Role in Promoting Cancer Progression Background In cancer, conventional dendritic cells (DCs) are key mediators of anti-tumor immunity. However, cancer has evolved mechanisms that render DCs ineffective in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and these...
