TOX deficiency facilitates the differentiation of IL-17A-producing γδ T cells to drive autoimmune hepatitis
The specification of the αβ/γδ lineage and the maturation of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) coordinate central tolerance to self-antigens....

Revelations in Thymic Epithelial Cell Biology and Heterogeneity from Single-Cell RNA Sequencing and Lineage Tracing Methodologies
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) make up the thymic microenvironments that support the generation of a functionally competent and self-tolerant T-cell... -
Reactive Alterations in Thymic Lymphocytopoiesis to Short-Term Decrease in Deuterium Content in the Body
We studied changes in thymic lymphocytopoiesis induced by a short-term decrease in deuterium content in the body. The experiment was performed on...

Germline-enforced enrichment for charged amino acids in TCR beta chain (TCRβ) complementarity determining region 3 (CDR-B3) alters T cell development, repertoire content, and antigen recognition
T cell receptor beta chain (TCRβ) diversity (Dβ) gene segments are highly conserved across evolution, with trout Dβ1 sequence identical to human and...

Molecular Structural Features that Determine the Neurotropic Activity of Thiamine Derivatives
Despite numerous studies, high sensitivity of the brain nerve cells to vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency could not be explained solely by the...

The function of Wtap in N6-adenosine methylation of mRNAs controls T cell receptor signaling and survival of T cells
T cell antigen-receptor (TCR) signaling controls the development, activation and survival of T cells by involving several layers and numerous...

Delayed maturation of thymic epithelium in mice with specific deletion of β-catenin gene in FoxN1 positive cells
Wnt signalling pathways have been reported to be involved in thymus development but their precise role in the development of both thymic epithelium...

TCR repertoire landscape reveals macrophage-mediated clone deletion in endotoxin tolerance
BackgroundEndotoxin tolerance (ET) is a protective mechanism in the process of sepsis, septic shock, and their sequelae including uncontrolled...

The transcription factor LRF promotes integrin β7 expression by and gut homing of CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocyte precursors
While T cell receptor (TCR) αβ + CD8α + CD8β – intraepithelial lymphocytes (CD8αα + IELs) differentiate from thymic IEL precursors (IELps) and contribute...

Cytokine Receptor Signaling and CD4/CD8 Lineage Choice during T Cell Development in the Thymus
The adaptive immune system is controlled by the concerted action of two major populations of T cells, i.e., helper T cells that express the... -
Targeting lysophosphatidic acid receptor with Ki16425 impedes T cell lymphoma progression through apoptosis induction, glycolysis inhibition, and activation of antitumor immune response
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a small phospholipid that acts as an extracellular lipid mediator. It promotes cancer progression by altering a wide...

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....
-
T Cell Development and T Cell Receptor Structure
B and T lymphocytes differentiate from the common lymphoid progenitor in the bone marrow. While B cells develop in the bone marrow, thymocytes... -
TCF-1 and HEB cooperate to establish the epigenetic and transcription profiles of CD4+CD8+ thymocytes
Thymocyte development requires a complex orchestration of multiple transcription factors. Ablating either TCF-1 or HEB in CD4 + CD8 + thymocytes elicits...

Cytotoxicity of Aluminum-Silica Matrices Modified with Carbon Nanotubes
We studied the effect of aluminum-silicon matrices modified with carbon nanotubes on proliferation and production of nitric oxide by splenocytes,...

PU.1 and BCL11B sequentially cooperate with RUNX1 to anchor mSWI/SNF to poise the T cell effector landscape
Adaptive immunity relies on specialized effector functions elicited by lymphocytes, yet how antigen recognition activates appropriate effector...

Selective involution of thymic medulla by cyclosporine A with a decrease of mature thymic epithelia, XCR1+ dendritic cells, and epithelium-free areas containing Foxp3+ thymic regulatory T cells
Immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine A (CSA) can disrupt thymic structure and functions, ultimately inducing syngeneic/autologous...

Thymic Atrophy and Immune Dysregulation in Infants with Complex Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, and up to 50% of infants with CHD require cardiovascular surgery early in life....

The gene expression profile and cell of origin of canine peripheral T-cell lymphoma
BackgroundPeripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) refers to a heterogenous group of T-cell neoplasms with poor treatment responses and survival times....
