Summary: The combination of 2‘3’-c ' diAM(PS)2 and Poly I:C as adjuvants can enhance DCs' ability to induce polyfunctional HIV-1 specific CD8(+) T-cell responses, reducing the severity of CD4(+) T-cell depletion following HIV-1 infection, and preserving the specific polyfunctional responses of CD8(+) T cells. The priming of DCs with PolyI:C and STING agonists may be useful for future HIV-1 vaccine studies.

Summary: The study found that the number of CD141(+) dendritic cells in the blood of melanoma patients was significantly reduced, and these cells exhibited impaired function after peripheral stimulation. In non-responding patients, the number and function of these cells continued to decline during treatment. Indirectly expanding and activating CD141(+) dendritic cells in vivo with Flt3L and a TLR3 agonist can enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a sensitive tracing method to monitor circulating CD207(+) and CD1a(+) cells in patients with LCH. Through flow cytometry and a scoring system, the presence of CD207(+) and CD1a(+) cells was found to be associated with the diagnosis and treatment response of LCH, and these cells could also be detected in some patients without obvious clinical symptoms.

Summary: In this study, researchers successfully cultured human ectopic lymphoid follicles with similar characteristics to lymphoid follicles in a microfluidic chip. These follicles showed improved immune responses to vaccines and can serve as an alternative to non-human primates for preclinical evaluation.

Summary: In lupus nephritis (LN), gut-derived group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) migrate from the small intestine to the kidney via the CXCR6/CXCL16 axis, contributing to the progression of LN, including spleen and lymph node enlargement, antibody production, and renal injury. In renal ectopic lymphoid structures (ELS), ILC3s induce B cell activation in a Delta-like1 (DLL1)/Notch-dependent manner, accompanied by up-regulation of Deltex1 and MAML1.

Summary: This research examined the effects of DC vaccination on ILC2 populations and their cytokine production. The results showed an increase in the number of ILC2s in certain areas in the absence of tumors, indicating a complex interplay between DC vaccines and ILC2s.

Summary: This review discusses the role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the tumor microenvironment of melanoma and how they are affected by immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapy. ILCs have an important impact on the development and treatment of melanoma, but further research is needed to fully understand their contribution.

Summary: The study found that BAFF levels were significantly elevated in nasal polyps with eLTs compared to those without eLTs. BAFF helps protect nasal polyp B cells from apoptosis, and stromal cells are an important cellular source of BAFF in the nasal polyps.

Summary: This study compared the transcriptome of monocyte-derived Langerhans cells (moLCs) with that of immature dendritic cells using RNA sequencing. The results showed that moLCs express genes characteristic of LC2 cells and TRPV4. Activation of TRPV4 increased the expression of Langerin and intracellular calcium concentration in moLCs. Furthermore, TRPV4 activation mitigated the inflammatory responses of moLCs by decreasing cytokine production and T-cell activating capability.

Summary: Tissue-resident immune cells, known as ILCs, play important roles in immune regulation and tissue homeostasis. ILCs have tissue-specific functions and can adapt to changes in the local microenvironment. Advancements in single cell platforms and patient-based data have provided new insights into the study of ILCs.

Summary: Reinvigorating the killing function of tumor-infiltrating immune cells through targeting regulatory molecules has improved the prognosis of cancer patients. Recent investigations suggest that tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), in addition to T lymphocytes, can benefit from immunotherapy. This article discusses the expression of immune checkpoint on ILCs and how their effector function is modulated by checkpoint blockade-based therapies, exploring potential to impede tumor growth and disease progression.

Summary: This study analyzed the miRNome of LSC and HSC-enriched fractions from CML patients, revealing a global decrease in microRNA levels and potential silencing of multiple non-coding RNAs. Despite the absence of BCR-ABL1 expression, an altered miRNome was observed in HSC. The findings suggest a potential role of microRNA in metabolic vulnerabilities in LSC and provide valuable data for future studies and therapeutic strategies.
