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 (

A step-by-step overview of the dynamic process of epitope selection by major histocompatibility complex class II for presentation to helper T cells [version 1; referees: 4 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) expressed on cytotoxic or helper T cells can only see their specific target antigen as short sequences of peptides bound to the groove of proteins of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, and class II ...

A Personalized Haplotype‐Resolved Near‐Gapless Genome Framework for Somatic Variant Discovery in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A patient‐specific, haplotype‐resolved genome framework improves detection and interpretation of somatic variants in hepatocellular carcinoma. Using multi‐platform sequencing, the personalized assembly resolves complex regions including centromeres and MHC/HLA loci, enhances structural variant discovery, and links regulatory alterations to allele ...

B Cells are Activated via a Nanoporous Interface that Stabilizes Microvilli and Engages Mechanosensitive Ion Channels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
B cells can be activated independently of antigen recognition via mechanical stimulation through nanoporous substrates. Exposure to such substrates induced B cell microvilli extension into the pores, intracellular Ca2+ signaling, phosphorylation of signaling proteins, and CD69 expression.

PROTAC‐Engineered Protein/DNA Nanoantigen is a Potent Booster for Dendritic Cell Vaccines in Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A PROTAC‐functionalized protein/DNA‐integrated nanoantigen platform is developed to enhance dendritic cell vaccine potency. By combining a VHL‐recruiting peptide‐modified antigen with a sustained expression plasmid within CaCO3 nanoparticles, this system amplifies cross‐presentation, promotes DC maturation, and elicits robust Th1 and CTL responses ...

Sequences, annotation and single nucleotide polymorphism of the major histocompatibility complex in the domestic cat.

PLoS ONE, 2008
Two sequences of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) regions in the domestic cat, 2.976 and 0.362 Mbps, which were separated by an ancient chromosome break (55-80 MYA) and followed by a chromosomal inversion were annotated in detail.

Lymph Node Stromal Cells Generate Antigen-Specific Regulatory T Cells and Control Autoreactive T and B Cell Responses

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Within lymph nodes (LNs), T follicular helper (TFH) cells help B cells to produce antibodies, which can either be protective or autoreactive. Here, we demonstrate that murine LN stromal cells (LNSCs) suppress the formation of autoreactive TFH ...

Studies on polymorphic alu insertions and genomic diversity within the major histocompatibility complex [PDF]

, 2005
After the initiation of the human genome sequencing project and the introduction of the field of 'bioinformatics', interest in human genetic diversity studies has been increased.
