Sjogren's Disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by salivary and lacrimal gland dysfunction and immune cell infiltration leading to gland inflammation and destruction. Although SjD is a common disease, its pathogenesis is not fully und...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a devastating diagnosis in clear need of therapeutic advances. Both targeted dendritic cells (DC) and particularly leukemia-derived dendritic cells (DC) can exert potent anti-leukemic activity. By converting AML b...
Reinforcement learning (RL), a subset of machine learning (ML), could optimize and control biomanufacturing processes, such as improved production of therapeutic cells. Here, the process of CAR T-cell activation by antigen-presenting beads and their ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made great progress in recent years. The latest chatbot to make a splash is ChatGPT. To see if this type of AI could also be helpful in creating an immunological review article, I put a planned review on different cla...
The activation of T cells is triggered by the interactions of T cell receptors (TCRs) with their epitopes, which are peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on the surfaces of antigen presenting cells (APC). While each TCR can on...
Expression of CCR5 and its cognate ligands have been implicated in COVID-19 pathogenesis, consequently therapeutics directed against CCR5 are being investigated. Here, we explored the role of CCR5 and its ligands across the immunologic spectrum of CO...
BACKGROUND: On long-duration spaceflight, most astronauts experience persistent immune dysregulation and the reactivation of latent herpesviruses, including varicella zoster virus (VZV). To understand the clinical risk of these perturbations to astro...
BACKGROUND: Targeting epitopes derived from neo-antigens (or "neo-epitopes") represents a promising immunotherapy approach with limited off-target effects. However, most peptides predicted using MHC binding prediction algorithms do not induce a CD8 +...
BACKGROUND: Although a preponderance of pre-clinical data demonstrates the immunosuppressive potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), significant heterogeneity and lack of critical quality attributes (CQAs) based on immunosuppressive capacity l...
