Single-cell RNA sequencing highlights the role of distinct natural killer subsets in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Esther Álvarez-Sánchez, Álvaro Carbayo, Natalia Valle-Tamayo, Laia Muñoz, Joaquim Aumatell, Soraya Torres, Sara Rubio-Guerra, Jesús García-Castro, Judit Selma-González, Daniel Alcolea, Janina Turon-Sans, Alberto Lleó, Ignacio Illán-Gala, Juan Fortea, Ricard Rojas-García, Oriol Dols-Icardo

“…We also identified gene expression changes in other immune cells, such as classical monocytes, and distinct CD8 + effector memory T cells which suggested enhanced antigen presentation via major histocompatibility class-II (adj. p-value = 1.23 × 10− 8) in ALS. …”

First-in-human phase I trial of the bispecific CD47 inhibitor and CD40 agonist Fc-fusion protein, SL-172154 in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer by Lini Pandite, Simon Metenou, Debra L Richardson, Erika Hamilton, Linda Van Le, Bo Ma, Fatima Rangwala, Nehal J Lakhani, Justin Call, Daphne Stewart, Lauren E Dockery, Guanfang Wang, Jade Huguet, Elliot Offman

“…The best response was stable disease in 6/27 (22%) patients.Conclusions SL-172154 was tolerable as monotherapy and induced, dose-dependent, and cyclical immune cell activation, increases in multiple serum cytokines, and trafficking of CD40-positive B cells and monocytes following each infusion. The safety, PK, and PD activity support 3.0 mg/kg as a safe and pharmacologically active dose.Trial registration number NCT04406623.…”

Specifically blocking αvβ8-mediated TGF-β signaling to reverse immunosuppression by modulating macrophage polarization by Cuicui Guo, Hui Sun, Yulei Du, Xiaodong Dai, Yu Pang, Zhen Han, Xinhui Xiong, Shaowei Li, Junhua Zhang, Qingbing Zheng, Xun Gui

“…Furthermore, combining the antibody with PD-1 inhibition produced a synergistic anti-tumor effect. In human PBMCs, monocytes exhibited high αvβ8 expression, and the antibody directly modulated macrophage polarization. …”

Work performance, physiological and hemato-biochemical responses in working buffalo with different load weights by Visoky Paján-Jiménez, Fernando D. Pazmiño-Rodríguez, Patricia Roldán-Santiago, Cristian Larrondo-Cornejo, Anna Dutro-Aceves, Luis A. de la Cruz-Cruz

“…Physiological (respiratory rate, pulse, heart rate, and rectal temperature) and biochemical (glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and total protein) parameters, as well as blood cell count (white blood cell, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils), increased after work regardless of weight load (p<0.001). …”

Plateau hypoxia improves tumor immune microenvironment and inhibits subcutaneous tumor growth of colorectal cancer by ZHAO Sijie, WANG Meng, GAO Yuan

“…When compared with the immune cells from the tumor mass of the plain normoxic C57BL/6 mice， the percentage of M2-type macrophages was reduced in the tumor tissue from the plateau hypoxic mice（22.13% vs 15.90%， P<0.05）， so was that of MDSC （2.06% vs 1.05%， P<0.01）， particularly in the monocytic （M）-MDSC subgroup （60.97% vs 41.13%， P<0.01）. …”

Human GM-CSF/IL-3 enhance tumor immune infiltration in humanized HCC patient-derived xenografts by Kelley Weinfurtner, David Tischfield, George McClung, Jennifer Crainic, John Gordan, Jing Jiao, Emma E. Furth, Wuyan Li, Erena Tuzneen Supan, Gregory J. Nadolski, Stephen J. Hunt, David E. Kaplan, Terence P.F. Gade

“…Results: Humanized NOG-EXL mice demonstrated earlier and higher levels of human chimerism compared to humanized NOG mice (82.1% vs. 43.8%, p <0.0001) with a greater proportion of human monocytes (3.2% vs. 1.1%, p = 0.001) and neutrophils (0.8% vs. 0.3%, p = 0.02) in circulation. …”

Utilizing of black cumin (Nigella sativa) flour to increase the immunity system of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria attack by Norma Rizki Silviana, Rosidah, Wahyuniar Pamungkas, Roffi Grandiosa

“…The 50 g dose of black cumin showed the highest percentage value of hematocrit and leukocyte differential in tilapia fry, respectively 34%, lymphocytes 84.3%, monocytes 6%, and neutrophils 9.7% with the fastest recovery period (4 days) and after the challenge test resulted in the highest survival rate of 95%. …”
