A guide to heat shock factors as multifunctional transcriptional regulators
The heat shock factors (HSFs) are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors best known as regulators of molecular chaperone genes in response to heat shock and other protein‐damaging stresses. Vertebrate HSFs, HSF1‐5, HSFX, and HSFY, are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including organismal development and cancer ...

Adult brain cancer incidence patterns: A comparative study between Japan and Japanese Americans
What's new? The risk factors for brain tumors remain largely unknown. Building on the legacy of migration studies, this study compared the incidence of adult malignant brain and central nervous system tumors in Japan and among Japanese Americans and other ethnic populations in the United States.

Identification of compounds with anti-human cytomegalovirus activity that inhibit production of IE2 proteins [PDF]
Using a high throughput screening methodology we surveyed a collection of largely uncharacterized validated or suspected kinase inhibitors for anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) activity.

The Bioengineering of Microspheric Skin Organoids and Their Application in Drug Screening
A novel method for the preparation of uniform microspheric skin organoids via spinning bioreactors is developed. The organoid consists of a core‐shell structure to mimic the bilayered skin structure with the epidermis on the surface. For efficient drug screening, the organoid is equipped with a luciferase reporter to detect canonical Wnt signaling, and

Tumor-Targeting Anti-CD20 Antibodies Mediate In Vitro Expansion of Memory Natural Killer Cells: Impact of CD16 Affinity Ligation Conditions and In Vivo Priming [PDF]
Natural Killer (NK) cells represent a pivotal player of innate anti-tumor immune responses. The impact of environmental factors in shaping the representativity of different NK cell subsets is increasingly appreciated.

Cytomegalovirus Antigenic Mimicry of Human Alloreactive Peptides: A Potential Trigger for Graft versus Host Disease [PDF]
The association between human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) reactivation and the development of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) has been observed in stem cell transplantation (SCT). Seventy seven SCT donor-recipient pairs (DRP) (HLA matched unrelated donor (MUD), n=50; matched related donor (MRD), n=27) underwent whole exome sequencing to identify single ...

The Complex Role of CD8+ T Cells in Placental HIV Infection
CD8+ T cells exhibit dual roles at the maternal‐fetal interface supporting tolerance via IL‐10 and TGF‐β and aiding implantation and vascular remodeling through TNF‐α and IFN‐γ. In HIV infection, CD8+ T cells expand, driving inflammation, PD‐L1 upregulation on trophoblasts, and cytotoxic dysfunction via reduced Granzyme B and Perforin, compromising ...
