IL-21 drives expansion and plasma cell differentiation of autoreactive CD11chiT-bet+ B cells in SLE
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with altered B cell responses but the underlying aetiology is still unclear. Here the authors show that a CD11chiT-bet+ B cell subset with a unique phenotype and transcriptome is increased in patients with

Peripheral inflammation is associated with remote global gene expression changes in the brain [PDF]
Background: Although the central nervous system (CNS) was once considered an immunologically privileged site, in recent years it has become increasingly evident that cross talk between the immune system and the CNS does occur. As a result, patients with

Basophils in skin inflammation
Basophils represent less than 1% of peripheral blood leukocytes. Under physiological conditions, basophils principally circulate in peripheral blood, while mast cells reside in peripheral tissues. Like mast cells, they express the high-affinity IgE receptor on their cell surface and release chemical mediators.

ABSTRACT Background Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is an aggressive complex lymphatic anomaly. Patients exhibit malformed lymphatic vessels and often develop hemorrhagic effusions and elevated angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2) levels. A somatic NRAS p.Q61R (NRASQ61R) mutation has been associated with KLA.

T Cell Migration from Inflamed Skin to Draining Lymph Nodes Requires Intralymphatic Crawling Supported by ICAM-1/LFA-1 Interactions. [PDF]
T cells are the most abundant cell type found in afferent lymph, but their migration through lymphatic vessels (LVs) remains poorly understood. Performing intravital microscopy in the murine skin, we imaged T cell migration through afferent LVs in vivo ...

Immunity to commensal skin fungi promotes psoriasiform skin inflammation [PDF]
SignificanceTissues exposed to the environment are sites of exposure to symbiotic microbes including fungi that are continuously sensed by the immune system. Here, we show that immunity to commensal skin fungi can significantly aggravate tissue inflammation.

Germline TP53 Mutations Causing Diamond–Blackfan Anemia: A French Report
ABSTRACT Diamond–Blackfan anemia is a rare congenital erythroblastopenia typically caused by mutations in ribosomal protein genes. Recently, gain‐of‐function mutations in TP53 have been identified as a novel cause of Diamond–Blackfan anemia. We report two French patients who both harbored a heterozygous TP53 deletion (NM_000546.5: c.1077delA; p ...

The G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPR) 15 Counteracts Antibody-Mediated Skin Inflammation
The G protein-coupled receptor 15 (GPR15) has recently been highlighted as an important regulator of T cell trafficking into the gut under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

CXCR2 deficient mice display macrophage-dependent exaggerated acute inflammatory responses [PDF]
CXCR2 is an essential regulator of neutrophil recruitment to inflamed and damaged sites and plays prominent roles in inflammatory pathologies and cancer. It has therefore been highlighted as an important therapeutic target.
