B lymphocytes confer immune tolerance via cell surface GARP-TGF-β complex. [PDF]
GARP, a cell surface docking receptor for binding and activating latent TGF-β, is highly expressed by platelets and activated Tregs. While GARP is implicated in immune invasion in cancer, the roles of the GARP-TGF-β axis in systemic autoimmune diseases ...

Acute GARP Depletion Disrupts Vesicle Transport, Leading to Severe Defects in Sorting, Secretion and O-Glycosylation. [PDF]
The GARP complex is an evolutionarily conserved protein complex proposed to tether endosome‐derived vesicles at the trans‐Golgi network. While complete depletion of the GARP leads to severe trafficking and glycosylation defects, the primary defects ...

ARR1 and AHP interactions in the multi-step phosphorelay system [PDF]
Plants use multi-step phosphorelay (MSP) systems in response to exogenous and endogenous stimuli. Cytokinin and ethylene are among the factors that engage MSP signaling cascades but examples independent of phytohormones also exist.

BackgroundTransforming growth factor (TGF)-ß1 is a pleiotropic cytokine that can promote tumor growth and suppress antitumor immune responses. Latent TGF-ß1 associates with glycoprotein-A repetition predominant (GARP) on the surface of regulatory T cells

Hematopoietic Niche Hijacking in Bone Metastases: Roles of Megakaryocytes, Erythroid Lineage Cells, and Perivascular Stromal Subsets [PDF]
Bone metastases mark a critical and often terminal phase in cancer progression, where disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) manage to infiltrate and exploit the complex microenvironments of the bone marrow.

Control systems for membrane fusion in the ancestral eukaryote; evolution of tethering complexes and SM proteins [PDF]
Background In membrane trafficking, the mechanisms ensuring vesicle fusion specificity remain to be fully elucidated. Early models proposed that specificity was encoded entirely by SNARE proteins; more recent models include contributions from Rab ...

T cell receptor associated transmembrane adaptor 1 (TRAT1) modulates human Th17 and Treg responses via PI3-kinase and STAT dependent mechanisms [PDF]
Background Adaptor proteins associated with the T cell receptor (TCR) play critical roles in regulating immune responses by Translating receptor engagement into intracellular signals.

Correlation of the Expression Profile of Peripheral Leukocyte and Liver Tissue Immune Markers With Serum Liver Injury Indices in Children With Biliary Atresia [PDF]
The aim of the study was to find associations between the levels of liver injury serum markers and the selected liver, peripheral leukocytes, and plasma immune characteristics in biliary atresia (BA) children. Twenty-five newly diagnosed BA children aged

From Genomic and Epigenomic Maps to Medicines in Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive and refractory hematologic malignancy that is caused by human T‐cell leukemia virus type‐1 (HTLV‐1) retrovirus. ATL results from a combination of viral latency and the accumulation of abnormalities throughout the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and signaling pathways.
