Tissue-Resident Cytolytic Innate Lymphocytes in Cancer. [PDF]
Abstract Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are critical components of tissues in the body, providing a first line of defense against challenges to host integrity. In contrast to strictly cytokine-producing helper ILCs, resident innate lymphocyte populations with cytolytic potential have been identified in multiple tissues in both mouse and ...

Innate Lymphocytes and Malaria – Players or Spectators?
Malaria remains an important global disease. Despite significant advances over the past decade in reducing disease morbidity and mortality, new measures are needed if malaria is to be eliminated. Significant advances in our understanding about host immune responses during malaria have been made, opening up opportunities to generate long-lasting ...

Intestinal single-cell atlas reveals novel lymphocytes in pigs with similarities to human cells
Single-cell RNA sequencing of porcine ileal lymphocytes reveals similarities to human cells and discovery of porcine intestinal innate lymphoid cells. Lymphocytes can heavily influence intestinal health, but resolving intestinal lymphocyte function is ...

Close encounters of lymphoid cells and bacteria
During infections, the first reaction of the host against microbial pathogens is carried out by innate immune cells, which recognize conserved structures on pathogens, called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).

Lymphocytes: Versatile Participants in Acute Kidney Injury and Progression to Chronic Kidney Disease
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a major global public health concern due to its high morbidity and mortality. The progression from AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD) makes it a scientific problem to be solved.

Tissue-resident lymphocytes: sentinel of the transformed tissue
Tumor cells can be detected and cleared by lymphocytes in a process termed cancer immunosurveillance. However, the contributing cell types had not been fully characterized.

Tissue-Resident Innate and Innate-Like Lymphocyte Responses to Viral Infection [PDF]
Infection is restrained by the concerted activation of tissue-resident and circulating immune cells. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that tissue-resident lymphocyte subsets, comprised of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and unconventional T cells, have vital roles in the initiation of primary antiviral responses.

Selective cytotoxicity and anticancer activity: ROS-induced cell death facilitated by metal complex [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence rate consists of 10%-20% and remains the leading cause of cancer-related death. We have successfully designed the protocol for adoptive immunotherapy to liver cirrhotic patients with HCC.

Group 2 innate lymphocytes at the interface between innate and adaptive immunity [PDF]
AbstractGroup 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are innate immune cells that respond rapidly to their environment through soluble inflammatory mediators and cell‐to‐cell interactions. As tissue‐resident sentinels, ILC2 help orchestrate localized type 2 immune responses.
