Isoproterenol infusion enhances composition and function of G-CSF mobilized allogeneic peripheral blood hematopoietic cell grafts. (PubMed, Stem Cell Res Ther)
ISO infusion post-G-CSF mobilization favorably enhances graft composition, mitigates GvHD, prolongs survival, and augments GvL effects. Our findings suggest that acute systemic beta-adrenergic receptor activation could be a valuable strategy to enhance outcomes in alloHCT.

Cytotoxic CD4+ T-follicular cells may mediate killing against lymphoma cells. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Furthermore, the release of cytotoxic cargo by degranulation could be induced by stimulation of CD4+ cells in cultures of FL and DLBCL suspensions. In line, the direct cytotoxic capacity of TF K cells against lymphoma cells was demonstrated by killing assays with isolated cells, underscoring their potential as a prospective therapeutic target in lymphoma control.

Engineering Innate Immunity: Recent Advances and Future Directions for CAR-NK and CAR-Macrophage Therapies in Solid Tumors. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Early-phase clinical studies (e.g., CT-0508) demonstrate feasibility and TME remodeling with CAR-MΦ...Emerging combinatorial strategies, such as dual-effector regimens (CAR-NK+ CAR-MΦ), cytokine-modulated cross-support, and bispecific or logic-gated CARs, may overcome these barriers and provide more durable, tumor-selective responses. Taken together, CAR-NK and CAR-MΦ platforms are poised to expand the reach of engineered cell therapy into the solid tumor domain.

Heterogeneous characteristics of γδ T cells in peripheral blood of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. (PubMed, Biomark Res)
We identified genetic subtypes of γδ T cells with distinct genotypic and clinical characteristics in DLBCL patients. Expression levels within these subgroups emerged as potential indicators for patient outcomes and as crucial factors in shaping therapeutic strategies. These insights significantly advance our understanding of intricate relationships among cellular subgroups and their roles in influencing disease progression and patient prognosis.

Identification of Prognostic Biomarkers of Ovarian High-Grade Serous Carcinoma: A Preliminary Study Using Spatial Transcriptome Analysis and Multispectral Imaging. (PubMed, Cells)
Integrated analysis showed that immune cell density and immune pathway scores in the recurrent group positively correlated with cancer pathway scores, except for NF-κB. This comprehensive analysis revealed clues to interactions between different immune cells and identified biomarkers that may be useful for predicting recurrence of HGSC.

Characterizing the immune landscape of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Genes Immun)
Cytotoxicity CD8+ T cells (CCL5 and IFNG), T helper cells (FTL, TNFRSF4, and TIGIT), and regulatory T cells (CTLA4, TIGIT and FTL) exhibited functional roles in both primary and metastatic tumor stages. Taken together, our study provides a single-cell resolution of the TIL immune landscape and suggests potential treatment strategies to overcome drug resistance.
