An extensive database identifying immune traits, such as
how immune cell function is regulated at the genetic level in healthy people, is reported by researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their collaborators in the journal Cell.
«This finding is very new and very important, because it shows us the role of cellular metabolism in
how these immune cells function.»

How microRNAs might intercept
immune cells in cancer is unknown and we were able to provide insight into a critical means by which cancer
cells exploit miR - 183 to dampen
immune cell function.»
But exactly
how the
immune system works remains, in many ways, a mystery, as there are numerous
cell types whose
functions and interactions with our
immune systems have not been well understood.
Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), Harvard Medical School (HMS), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and University of Chicago report findings demonstrating
how genetic variations among healthy, young individuals can influence
immune cell function.
«These results represent a significant advance in our understanding of
how commensal microbes can regulate host intestinal
immune responses and suggest that the identification of downstream targets in macrophages and dendritic
cells along the GM - CSF axis can help the rationale design of novel strategies for the treatment of IBD patients with defective GM - CSF
function,» explained Dr. Merad.
«ILCs were discovered less than a decade ago, but the parallels between them and T
cells will enable us to more quickly understand
how they work and to develop ways to enhance or inhibit their
function in treating a variety of
immune and inflammatory diseases.»
In an effort to further define the importance of GATA - 3, researchers at the University of North Carolina have traced
how the protein performs important
functions in CD8 + T -
cell type of the
immune system.
However, researchers are still learning
how best to implement immunotherapy regimens, making monitoring of the
immune response during treatment development and implementation critical to predicting
how the modified
cells will
function, and
how the
immune system as a whole will react.
«Over the past ten years, several research groups, including our own, have shown the importance of certain
immune cell subsets in preventing or exacerbating heart disease in mice, but we are just beginning to understand
how the metabolism and
function of these
immune cells change during cardiovascular disease progression in humans,» says Hedrick.
The company showed
how they first defined A2A as the receptor required for mediating the effect of adenosine on
immune cells within the tumor microenvironment and reported the characterization of a novel immuno - oncology - dedicated adenosine receptor 2A antagonist that
functions in the high adenosine concentration found in tumors.
Our research is focused on understanding
how the
functions of
immune cells, such as monocytes and T lymphocytes, change during the progression of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
A fact sheet that provides an overview of
how the
immune system
functions and describes the actions of biological therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, therapeutic vaccines, the bacterium bacillus Calmet - Guérin, cancer - killing viruses, gene therapy, and adoptive T -
cell transfer.
His discoveries include insights into
how changes in gene expression affect T
cell exhaustion, a waning of
immune function that occurs in response to chronic viral infection and cancer.
Researchers also provided new details of
how the Nrp1 pathway
functions, including evidence that along with bolstering the ability of regulatory T
cells to suppress the
immune response, the pathway also helps maintain a stable population of regulatory T
cells.
Join us for this informative session to get practical advice on designing and performing T
cell activation assays on Seahorse XF Analyzers;
how to interrogate and quantify glycolytic and mitochondrial
function; and generating and interpreting metabolic phenotypes of primary
immune cells.
