A death knell for relapsed leukemia?

Phagocytes patrol intestinal fungi Maintaining a healthy balance of gut bacteria can promote good health. Leonardi et al. show that fungi can also interact with gut immune cells to maintain intestinal wellbeing. CX3CR1 mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) patrol the intestine and promote antifungal immunity. Genetic deletion of CX3CR1 in MNPs caused colitis-like symptoms in mice. CX3CR1 polymorphisms ...

This review discusses this study and its surprising neutral results before ending with an overvi...

The T cell death knell: immune-mediated tumor death in renal cell carcinoma.

The antitumor effect of T cells is executed either through CD95 or Perforin (PFN)/Granzyme B (GrB) pathways. Induction of apoptosis by either mode requires activation of caspase family members. However, recent studies have suggested that cell death can proceed in the absence of caspase induction and apoptotic events. We investigated the contribution of CD95 and PFN/GrB-mediated cytotoxicity to ...
