Obesity and disease severity magnify disturbed microbiome-immune interactions in asthma patients
Here, the authors characterize immunological and microbiome alterations in a cohort of obese asthmatics, finding that disease severity negatively correlates with fecal abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila, and show in a mouse model that administration of

HBV-Specific Adaptive Immunity
The successful control of HBV infection requires an efficient expansion of distinct elements of the adaptive immune system (B cells, helper and cytotoxic T cells) that, due to the hepatotropic nature of HBV, need to operate in the liver parenchyma.

Adaptive immunity or evolutionary adaptation? Transgenerational immune systems at the crossroads
AbstractIn recent years, immune systems have sparked considerable interest within the philosophy of science. One issue that has received increased attention is whether other phyla besides vertebrates display an adaptive immune system. Particularly the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9-based systems has triggered a discussion about how to classify adaptive ...

Trained Immunity and its Role in Health and Diseases: A Review [PDF]
The term immunity mostly refers to adaptive immunity, even though innate immunity also plays a crucial role. Immunological memory is the key feature distinguishing adaptive immunity from innate immunity.

CMTM6 suppresses cell-surface expression of death receptor FAS in mice but not in humans
The transmembrane protein CMTM6 promotes plasma membrane expression of the immune checkpoint protein PD-L1, a key suppressor of anti-tumor immunity. Targeting CMTM6 has been proposed as a strategy to enhance tumor cell killing by reducing PD-L1 surface ...

Aberrant adaptive immune response underlies genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains a major threat worldwide, although only a fraction of infected individuals develops tuberculosis (TB). TB susceptibility is shaped by multiple genetic factors, and we performed comparative immunological analysis ...

Repertoire-based mapping and time-tracking of T helper cell subsets in scRNA-Seq
IntroductionThe functional programs of CD4+ T helper (Th) cell clones play a central role in shaping immune responses to different challenges. While advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) have significantly improved our understanding of the ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus variants drive distinct TCR repertoire alterations
BackgroundT cells play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response against acute virus infections. The extensive diversity of T cell receptors (TCRs) presents a complex challenge for understanding its implications in immune responses.
