Hematopoietic stem cell gene editing rescues B-cell development in X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Antibody deficiencies are the most prevalent cause of inborn errors of immunity accounting for>50% of cases. Among these, X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) represents one of the most severe forms, affecting around 1:100,000 newborn males.1 XLA arises from mutations in the gene encoding BTK, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, belonging to the Tec family, that promotes the maturation of B cells in the bone marrow and their activation in the periphery.2,3 At the pro –B-cell stage, the expression of BLNK, Igα, Igβ, and the RAG1- and RAG2-mediated production of Igμ lead to cell surface expression of the pre–B-cell receptor. ...

Nasopharyngeal microbiota in children is associated with severe asthma exacerbations
Asthma, one of the most common noncommunicable childhood diseases, is characterized by a (sub)acute worsening of symptoms called exacerbation. Exacerbations can be triggered by exposure to allergens, tobacco smoke, air pollution, or viral infections.1 The severity of these exacerbations ranges from mild and manageable at home to severe exacerbations requiring hospitalization and potentially admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).1 Risk factors for ICU admission in children with an asthma exacerbation include older age,2,3 tobacco smoke exposure, and symptoms for over a week before presentation.

Learning from nemolizumab: A  promising therapy for prurigo nodularis
A recent phase 3 clinical trial (OLYMPIA 2) of nemolizumab, an anti –IL-31RA mAb for prurigo nodularis (PN), met the key primary end points of efficacy at week 16 and demonstrated benefit across all 5 secondary end points. Some of the more striking results were at the early time point of week 4, with significantly more patients reaching at least a 4-point reductio n in the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale itch score, almost complete itch relief (Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale  (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Loss-of-phosphorylation of IKZF1 results in gain-of-function associated with immune dysregulation
Capsule summary: A novel heterozygous mutation T398M in IKZF1 was identified in two patients with immune dysregulation symptoms. Our study shows that this mutation by impacting the phosphorylation of IKZF1 represents a novel gain-of-function mechanism by loss-of-phosphorylation (GOF-LOP).
