Leptin May Promote Eosinophilic CRSwNP Progression by Enhancing Eosinophil Chemotaxis and Angiogenesis Under a Type 2 Inflammatory Milieu

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous Type 2 inflammatory disease characterized by enhanced eosinophilic infiltration. Both innate and adaptive immunity are involved in the onset and progression of CRSwNP.

Long Non-Coding RNAs in the Cell Fate Determination of Neoplastic Thymic Epithelial Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Thymic Epithelial Tumors (TETs) arise from epithelial cells of the thymus and are very rare neoplasms comprising Thymoma, Thymic carcinoma, and Thymic Neuroendocrine tumors that still require in-depth molecular characterization.

Intrathymic expression of Flt3 ligand enhances thymic recovery after irradiation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) requires conditioning treatments such as irradiation, which leads to a severely delayed recovery of T cell immunity and constitutes a major complication of this therapy.

Probing gene function in thymic epithelial cells

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cell Biology, 2012
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) provide a highly specialized microenvironment for the generation of a functional and self-tolerant T cell repertoire. Much of our current view of TEC biology is derived from gain- or loss-of-function approaches, which have significantly contributed to our understanding of gene function in TEC development and T cell ...

The antigen presentation pathway in medullary thymic epithelial cells, but not that in cortical thymic epithelial cells, conforms to the endocytic pathway [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, 1998
Murine medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC), but not cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTEC), are able to present a soluble antigen, ovalbumin, to helper T cells (Mizuochi, T. et al., J. Exp. Med. 1992. 175: 1601-1605). This functional difference between the mTEC and the cTEC is particularly important when we consider the thymic selection of the T ...

Tezepelumab in Chinese Patients With Severe Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps: A Prespecified Subgroup Analysis of the Phase 3 WAYPOINT Trial

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in Chinese patients often exhibits a mixed Type 1/2/3 inflammatory phenotype (63%), potentially impacting the efficacy of biologics targeting Type 2 inflammation. This prespecified subgroup analysis of WAYPOINT (NCT04851964) evaluated the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in Chinese

Novel approaches for immune reconstitution and adaptive immune modeling with human pluripotent stem cells

open access: yesBMC Medicine, 2011
Pluripotent stem cells have the capacity to generate all cell lineages, and substantial progress has been made in realizing this potential. One fascinating but as yet unrealized possibility is the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into thymic ...

The clinicopathological significance of thymic epithelial markers expression in thymoma and thymic carcinoma

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2023
Background The classification of thymomas is based on the morphology of epithelial tumor cells and the proportion of lymphocytes. Type A thymomas are composed of the spindle or oval tumor epithelial cells. Tumor cells of B thymomas are epithelioid-shaped

Efficacy and Predictors of Response to Biologic Therapy and Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Patients With Nasal Polyps: A Systematic Review

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biologics and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) treat refractory chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), but direct comparisons are lacking. We synthesized efficacy and subgroup data across randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of biologics and ESS.

Live-cell imaging reveals the relative contributions of antigen-presenting cell subsets to thymic central tolerance

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Both thymic epithelial cells and dendritic cells present self antigens in the thymus to mediate thymic selection and T cell tolerance. Here the authors quantify, using two-photon live imaging of mouse thymic slices, the relative contribution of these two
