The Road Less Taken: Less Appreciated Pathways for Manipulating CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion
Exhausted CD8+ T (Tex) cells are a distinct cell population that arise during persistent antigen exposure in the context of chronic infections and cancers.

Normalizing and denoising protein expression data from droplet-based single cell profiling
Current single cell protein expression profiling approaches come with substantial measurement noise. Here the authors discover the sources of this noise and develop a denoising algorithm that improves data quality and downstream applications.

RANKL biology: bone metabolism, the immune system, and beyond
Receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand (RANKL) induces the differentiation of monocyte/macrophage–lineage cells into the bone–resorbing cells called osteoclasts.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus as a disease of the β-cell (do not blame the immune system?)
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is believed to result from destruction of the insulin-producing β-cells in pancreatic islets that is mediated by autoimmune mechanisms. The classic view is that autoreactive T cells mistakenly destroy healthy (‘innocent’) β-cells.

T-Cell Senescence in Human Metabolic Diseases [PDF]
Immunosenescence denotes a state of dysregulated immune cell function characterized by a confluence of factors, including arrested cell cycle, telomere shortening, markers of cellular stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, loss of proteostasis, epigenetic ...

Interactions Between the Microbiota and the Immune System
The large numbers of microorganisms that inhabit mammalian body surfaces have a highly coevolved relationship with the immune system. Although many of these microbes carry out functions that are critical for host physiology, they nevertheless pose the ...

Differences in Type 2 Fiber Composition in the Vastus Lateralis and Gluteus Maximus of Patients with Hip Fractures [PDF]
Background Aging leads to sarcopenia, which is characterized by reduced muscle mass and strength. Many factors, including altered muscle protein turnover, diminished neuromuscular function, hormonal changes, systemic inflammation, and the structure and ...
