Characterization and effective expansion of CD4−CD8− TCRαβ+ T cells from individuals living with type 1 diabetes by J. Ernesto Fajardo-Despaigne, Félix Lombard-Vadnais, Adam-Nicolas Pelletier, Aïnhoa Olazabal, Lucie Boutin, Sarah Pasquin, Valérie Janelle, Laurent Legault, Jean-Sébastien Delisle, Erin E. Hillhouse, Lise Coderre, Sylvie Lesage

“…We found that while DN T cells and CD8+ T cells share many similarities, DN T cells are a unique T cell population, both at the transcriptomic and protein levels. We also show that by using various cytokine combinations, human DN T cells can be expanded in vitro up to 1,000-fold (mean >250-fold) and remain functional post-expansion. …”

Identification of highly expressed genes and efficient core promoters specific to buffalo skeletal muscles by J. Huang, J. Huang, D. Guo, R. Zhu, H. Wang, C. Yang, D. Shi, J. Shang

“…Then, the transcriptional activity of different truncated fragments of the upstream putative promoter region of<i> VGLL2</i> and <i>CACNG1</i> were evaluated by the dual luciferase reporter gene detection system in mouse C2C12 cells and buffalo skeletal muscle cells. As a result, both core promoters of <i>VGLL2</i> and <i>CACNG1</i> were identified to have specifically and efficiently transcriptional activity in skeletal muscle tissue while the transcriptional activity of the core promoters of <i>VGLL2</i> was more efficient. …”
