Overexpression of MALAT1 Drives Metastasis Through Inflammatory Reprogramming of the Tumor Microenvironment

Cancer Immunology Research: Overexpression of MALAT1 Drives Lung Adenocarcinoma Metastasis Through Inflammatory Reprogramming Background Introduction MALAT1 (Metastasis-associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) closely linked to tumor progression and metastasis in several cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (L...

A Lactate-SREBP2 Signaling Axis Drives Tolerogenic Dendritic Cell Maturation and Promotes Cancer Progression

Cancer Immunology Lactate-SREBP2 Signaling Axis-Driven Tolerogenic Dendritic Cell Maturation and Its Role in Promoting Cancer Progression Background In cancer, conventional dendritic cells (DCs) are key mediators of anti-tumor immunity. However, cancer has evolved mechanisms that render DCs ineffective in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and these...

Gfi1b Specifies Developmental Potential of Innate Lymphoid Cell Progenitors in the Lungs

Background Introduction In respiratory diseases, the lung is a sensitive organ exposed to the external environment, making it susceptible to pathogens, allergens, and toxic particles. Due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with respiratory diseases (such as asthma), it is crucial to study the mechanisms protecting the cells on the surfa...

Single-Cell Topographical Profiling of the Immune Synapse Reveals a Biomechanical Signature of Cytotoxicity

Single-Cell Topographical Analysis Reveals Biomechanical Characteristics of Cytotoxic T Cells Introduction In recent years, research on how the immune system functions in different mechanochemical environments has shown that immune cells dynamically alter their shape and exert forces on their surroundings to sense physical parameters and activate i...

MAIT Cells Monitor Intestinal Dysbiosis and Contribute to Host Protection During Colitis

MAIT Cells Monitor Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis and Protect the Host in Colitis Research Background As research on the relationship between the gut and host health deepens, changes in the gut microbiome are closely related to various human diseases, especially inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Currently, it is recognized that under homeostatic conditio...
