A viral CTL escape mutation leading to immunoglobulin-like transcript 4-mediated functional inhibition of myelomonocytic cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Viral mutational escape can reduce or abrogate recognition by the T cell receptor (TCR) of virus-specific CD8+ T cells. However, very little is known about the impact of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope mutations on interactions between peptide–major

SensRORing cholesterol to drive protumoral myelopoiesis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Bleve et al. uncover a cholesterol‐driven immune evasion pathway, where RORγ‐dependent myelopoiesis shapes tumor immunosuppression. Targeting RORγ and PCSK9 emerges as a strategy to boost cancer immunotherapy. Protumoral myelopoiesis is a determinant of immunoevasion and tumor spread in many malignancies.

House sparrows do not exhibit a preference for the scent of potential partners with different MHC-I diversity and genetic distances.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
MHC genes play a fundamental role in immune recognition of pathogens and parasites. Therefore, females may increase offspring heterozygosity and genetic diversity by selecting males with genetically compatible or heterozygous MHC.

Melanoma-specific MHC-II expression represents a tumour-autonomous phenotype and predicts response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Anti-PD-1 therapy yields objective clinical responses in 30–40% of advanced melanoma patients. Since most patients do not respond, predictive biomarkers to guide treatment selection are needed.

The tumor–microbe connection

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐associated bacteria (TAB) dynamically influence cancer biology by modulating tumor progression, metastatic spread, and therapeutic efficacy. Their presence redefines the tumor microenvironment (TME) as a microbial–host interface, yet mechanistic insights remain limited. Understanding TAB colonization routes, functional impacts, and crosstalk with

Associations between mental health competence and indicators of physical health and cognitive development in eleven year olds: findings from the UK Millennium Cohort Study

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2019
Background Positive mental health may support healthy development in childhood, although few studies have investigated this at a population level. We aimed to construct a measure of mental health competence (MHC), a skills-based assessment of positive ...

Using de novo genome assembly and high-throughput sequencing to characterize the MHC region in a non-model bird, the Eurasian coot

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) form a key component of vertebrate adaptive immunity, as they code for molecules which bind antigens of intra- and extracellular pathogens (MHC class I and II, respectively) and present them to T cell ...

NetMHCpan-3.0; improved prediction of binding to MHC class I molecules integrating information from multiple receptor and peptide length datasets

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2016
Binding of peptides to MHC class I molecules (MHC-I) is essential for antigen presentation to cytotoxic T-cells. Here, we demonstrate how a simple alignment step allowing insertions and deletions in a pan-specific MHC-I binding machine-learning model ...

Testing the theory of immune selection in cancers that break the rules of transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Modification of cancer cells likely to reduce their immunogenicity, including loss or down-regulation of MHC molecules, is now well documented and has become the main support for the concept of immune surveillance.

Current trends in single‐cell RNA sequencing applications in diabetes mellitus

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA sequencing is a powerful approach to decipher the cellular and molecular landscape at a single‐cell resolution. The rapid development of this technology has led to a wide range of applications, including the detection of cellular and molecular mechanisms and the identification and introduction of novel potential diagnostic and ...
