Open AccessThe shrimp IKK–NF-κB signaling pathway regulates antimicrobial peptide expression and may be subverted by white spot syndrome virus to facilitate viral gene expression
The IκB kinases IKKα and IKKβ and the IKK-related kinases TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IKKε are the master regulators of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Although this pathway has been extensively studied in m...

A B-1a cell subset induces Foxp3− T cells with regulatory activity through an IL-10-independent pathway
Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a critical role in the maintenance of tolerance. B-1a cells belong to a specific and functionally important B-cell subset that exerts its regulatory role through the production o...

Open AccessThe intragraft vascularized bone marrow component plays a critical role in tolerance induction after reconstructive transplantation
The role of the vascularized bone marrow component as a continuous source of donor-derived hematopoietic stem cells that facilitate tolerance induction of vascularized composite allografts is not completely un...

Posttransplant blockade of CXCR4 improves leukemia complete remission rates and donor stem cell engraftment without aggravating GVHD
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a promising therapeutic option for hematological malignancies, but relapse resulting predominantly from residual disease in the bone marrow (BM) rema...

SRSF1 plays a critical role in invariant natural killer T cell development and function
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are highly conserved innate-like T lymphocytes that originate from CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes. Here, we report that serine/arginine splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) ...

Activation of AMPKα1 is essential for regulatory T cell function and autoimmune liver disease prevention
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are crucial for maintaining immune tolerance. Compromising the regulatory function of Treg cells can lead to autoimmune liver disease. However, how Treg cell function is regulat...
