Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHumans express four different lipid antigen-presenting molecules, CD1a, CD1b, CD1c, and CD1d, that are differentially expressed on antigen-presenting cells and which recycle through different endosomal compartments. Huang et al. now answer the question on whether the four CD1 isoforms selectively bind certain lipids.PMID:37730500 | DOI:10.1016/j.it.2023.08.010 (Source: Trends in Immunology)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTpH is tightly maintained at cellular, tissue, and systemic levels, and altered pH - particularly in the acidic range - is associated with infection, injury, solid tumors, and physiological and pathological inflammation. However, how pH is sensed and regulated and how it influences immune responses remain poorly understood at the tissue level. Applying conceptual frameworks of homeostatic and inflammatory circuitries, we categorize cellular and tissue components engaged in pH regulation, drawing parallels from est...

Additionally, it is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis and childhood mortality across the globe. Despite its clinical importance, we are only beginning to understand how the mammalian adaptive immune system responds to this pathogen. Further, many studies investigating potential K. pneumoniae vaccine candidates or alternative therapies have been launched in recent years. Here, we review the current state o...
