Emerging roles of checkpoint molecules on B cells by Hiromitsu Asashima, Satoshi Akao, Isao Matsumoto

“…Immune checkpoint molecules, including both co-inhibitory molecules and co-stimulatory molecules, are known to play critical roles in regulating T-cell responses. During the last decades, immunotherapies targeting these molecules (such as programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), and lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3)) have provided clinical benefits in many cancers. …”

The dynamics of CD4+ T cell proliferation and regulation by Mingran Zhang, Junling Ma, Roderick Edwards, Meili Li

“…Previous studies suggested that a fratricidal mechanism is necessary to eliminate helper T cells post-infection. Contrary to this, our mathematical analysis establishes that the depletion of these cells is due to two pivotal factors: the saturation in the proliferation rate of helper CD4+ T cells at high IL-2 concentrations, and the activation rate of nTregs outpacing their death rate. …”

Exploring Core Genes Associated with Sepsis and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Using Single-Cell Sequencing Technology by Shen Y, Leng L, Hu Y

“…The frequency of occurrence is on the rise, but there is a lack of certain indicators for the timely detection and recognition of illnesses.Methods: By virtue of scRNA-seq, this research has analyzed single-cell transcriptome data from samples taken from groups with septic death and systemic inflammatory response syndrome so as to identify the unique markers and patterns in immune response.Results: By revealing the status of twelve cell clusters of four major cell types in blood samples through UMAP cell clustering and the differences of major cell populations between the dead and SIRS patients, the results have elucidated the components of different cells and their marker genes in two disease states, and the response mechanism beneficial to disease diagnosis in blood samples.Conclusion: By establishing a theoretical framework centered on cellular and molecular regulation, the study has introduced a novel approach for diagnosing and treating sepsis death group and SIRS patients early, as well as differentiating and preventing these conditions.Keywords: sepsis, SIRS, single cell sequencing, biomarkers, single cell transcriptome…”
