Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

From Marginal to Central: Marginal Zone‐like B Cells as Critical Targets in Cladribine‐Treated Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease where B cells play a central pathogenic role. Cladribine, an oral therapy, provides durable benefits by reshaping lymphocyte populations, yet its specific long‐term impact on distinct B‐cell subsets is not fully understood.

Tertiary lymphoid organs in the inflammatory myopathy associated with PD-1 inhibitors

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2019
Background Programmed cell death 1 inhibitors have revolutionized therapy for cancer by their outstanding effectiveness. However, they may cause adverse effects, among which inflammatory myopathy is one of the most disabling.

Innervation of the tubarial glands: A hypothesis‐driven anatomical review

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tubarial glands have been described as a macroscopic bilateral glandular complex in the posterolateral nasopharynx near the torus tubarius and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. Since their recognition on prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐based imaging, their anatomical classification has remained debated, with converging ...

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...

Epididymitis promotes formation of tertiary lymphoid organs in the cauda epididymidis

Mucosal Immunology
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is a common pathogen that affects the cauda epididymidis, causing interstitial edema, epithelial damage, leukocyte infiltration, and fibrosis. Despite antibiotic treatment, up to 20 % of patients develop abscesses in the cauda epididymidis, and 40 % experience low sperm counts.

Kidney Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Contribute to Myeloid Development and Pathology in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The hematopoietic system maintains homeostasis by balancing myeloid and lymphoid cell production in the bone marrow (BM). In response to increased hematopoietic demand, extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) may occur in nonlymphoid organs. We investigated the role of EMH and kidney‐resident hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in ...

T Cell Plasticity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Revealed by Large‐Scale T Cell Receptor Repertoire and Transcriptome Studies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to characterize CD4+ T cell plasticity in human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by leveraging T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire features as markers of prior lineage states, integrating TCR and transcriptomic profiling to delineate plasticity patterns and evaluate their association with clinical disease activity. Methods We used TCR
