Natural killer cell homing and trafficking in tissues and tumors: from biology to application [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells, a subgroup of innate lymphoid cells, act as the first line of defense against cancer. Although some evidence shows that NK cells can develop in secondary lymphoid tissues, NK cells develop mainly in the bone marrow (BM) and ...

Homing in on the Sweet Side of Immune Checkpoint Biology [PDF]
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and its glycostructural determinants facilitate responses to infection and cancer by promoting immune effector-cell trafficking into inflamed tissue. In this issue of Immunity, Tinoco et al. (2016) report homing-independent functions of PSGL-1 in immune checkpoint regulation and T cell effector activity, in ...

Hematopoietic stem cell homing: biology and clinical prospectives
The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche is a specific microenvironment in the bone marrow that maintains the ability of HSCs to differentiate and self-renew. It comprises two interconnected sub-niches: the vascular and the intraosseous. This distinction is particularly relevant in the context of homing, as hematopoietic stem cells sequentially interact

Current Understanding of Extracellular Vesicle Homing/Tropism
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed packets that are released from cells and subsequently transfer bioactive molecules between cells without directly contacting the target cells.

Polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipid mediators and T cell function [PDF]
Fatty acids are involved in T cell biology both as nutrients important for energy production as well as signalling molecules. In particular, polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to exhibit a range of immunomodulatory properties that progress through T ...

Olfaction Contributes to Pelagic Navigation in a Coastal Shark. [PDF]
How animals navigate the constantly moving and visually uniform pelagic realm, often along straight paths between distant sites, is an enduring mystery. The mechanisms enabling pelagic navigation in cartilaginous fishes are particularly understudied.

Pharmacological inhibition of caspase and calpain proteases: a novel strategy to enhance the homing responses of cord blood HSPCs during expansion. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) is a well-known strategy employed to facilitate the transplantation outcome. We have previously shown that the prevention of apoptosis by the inhibition of cysteine proteases, caspase ...
