Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Post‐Translational Isoaspartate Promotes Amyloid Formation in β2‐Microglobulin

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Chemical synthesis of five β2‐microglobulin (β2m) variants reveals the structural impact of Asn deamidation. By introducing Asp or isoAsp at susceptible Asn‐Gly sequences, we demonstrate that isoAsp17 formation specifically accelerates amyloid fibril formation, highlighting its potential contribution to dialysis‐related amyloidosis.

Combining Radiation‐Treated Tumor Vaccines With Mn‐MOF Nanoadjuvants to Amplify Radiation Induced Anti‐Tumor Immune Responses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy‐treated tumor membranes are integrated with Mn‐MOF nanoadjuvants to generate Mn@RM, a lymph node‐draining nanovaccine that delivers radiotherapy‐remodeled antigenic components. Mn@RM enhances dendritic cell activation, amplifies T cell‐mediated antitumor immunity, and synergizes with radiotherapy and PD‐1 blockade for combination cancer ...

Heat Shock Protein 90: From Molecular Chaperone Function to Therapeutic Targeting in Malignancies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this review, an integrated conceptual framework linking HSP90's molecular chaperone functions to its pathological roles in cancer is proposed. HSP90 serves as a central node that integrates oncogenic signaling, buffers proteotoxic stress, maintains cancer stem cell plasticity, and shapes tumor‐immune interactions, all of which converge to drive ...

Advances in Cancer Immunotherapy for Solid Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cancer immunotherapy for solid tumors is rapidly evolving beyond classical checkpoint blockade toward more precise strategies. Emerging checkpoint targets, bispecific antibodies, antibody–drug conjugate combinations, personalized vaccines, cellular therapies, and engineered cytokines are expanding therapeutic possibilities, while biomarker‐guided ...

Evaluation of 19 years of international external proficiency testing for high-resolution HLA typing

Frontiers in Genetics
The international high-resolution external proficiency testing (EPT) started in 2004 with high-resolution typing of human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I (HLA-A,B,C) and HLA class II (HLA-DRB1, DRB345, DQB1, and DPB1) alleles, since possibilities for ...

Targeting DNGR‐1 with Fangchinoline Elevates Dendritic Cell Antigen Cross‐Presentation‐Mediated Antitumor Immunity in Melanoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fangchinoline is identified as a small‐molecule DNGR‐1 modulator that enhances dendritic‐cell cross‐presentation of tumor antigens. By engaging DNGR‐1 and activating Syk–Nox2 signaling, it promotes phagosomal ROS, antigen escape, MHC‐I presentation, and CD8+ T‐cell priming, thereby strengthening antitumor immunity and sensitizing tumors to PD‐1 ...

Association of TLR4-T399I Polymorphism with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Smokers

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2009
Tobacco smoking has been considered the most important risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development. However, not all smokers develop COPD and other environmental and genetic susceptibility factors underlie disease ...

Histocompatibility Testing for Organ Transplantation Purposes in Albania: A Single Center Experience

Balkan Medical Journal, 2014
Background: Histocompatibility testing (HT) which includes donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching, cross-match testing (XMT) and anti-HLA antibody searching are crucial examinations in solid organ transplantation aiming to avoid the ...
