From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

A patient with complete IFN-γR1 deficiency and tuberculosis resembling BCG diseaseIFN-γR1 deficiency and Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

Journal of Human Immunity
We present a case of a patient with a deleterious variant in IFNGR1 who contracted Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the patient presented with clinical manifestations suggestive of BCG infection.

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

Defective germinal center selection results in persistence of self-reactive B cells from the primary to the secondary repertoire in Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Nature Communications
Primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) is a life-threatening clotting disorder mediated by pathogenic autoantibodies. Here we dissect the origin of self-reactive B cells in human PAPS using peripheral blood and bone marrow of patients with triple ...

Subjective assessment of sleep quality in adult patients with hereditary angioedema

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundHereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent swelling episodes, including painful abdominal attacks and life-threatening angioedema of the larynx that significantly affects patients’ quality of life, including sleep.

Flow cytometry-based diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency diseases

Allergology International, 2018
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited diseases of the immune system. The definite diagnosis of PID is ascertained by genetic analysis; however, this takes time and is costly.

Bridging the gap: a genetically validated avian chorioallantoic membrane platform for investigation of spontaneous circulating tumor cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We established the avian chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as a scalable in vivo model for studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Human gastrointestinal tumors spontaneously released genetically validated CTCs that were detected across multiple platforms, demonstrating that the CAM model provides an accessible tool for investigating early cancer ...

Stem Cell Transplantation for Primary Immunodeficiency Disease: Experience of a Singapore Hospital

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2012
We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in 7 patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases treated at the National University Hospital, Singapore, over the period from December 1996 to January 2010.

Other well-defined immunodeficiency syndromes

, 2012
Five broad and major groups of PID classification have been known as CID, PAD, phagocyte disorders, complement deficiencies, as well as other well-defined immunodeficiency syndromes. The former includes Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), which presents as a
