Abstract Muscle-specific tyrosine kinase myasthenia gravis (MuSK MG) is an autoimmune disease that causes life-threatening muscle weakness due to anti-MuSK autoantibodies disrupt neuromuscular junction signaling. To avoid chronic immunosuppression from current therapies, we engineered T cells express a MuSK chimeric autoantibody receptor with CD137-CD3ζ signaling domains (MuSK-CAART) for precision targeting of B expressing autoantibodies. MuSK-CAART demonstrated similar efficacy as anti-CD19 antigen depletion and retained cytolytic activity in the presence soluble antibodies. In experimental MG mouse model, reduced IgG without decreasing or total levels, reflecting MuSK-specific cell depletion. Specific off-target interactions were not identified vivo, primary human screens by high-throughput membrane proteome array. These data contributed investigational new drug application phase 1 clinical study design treatment autoantibody-positive MG.

The brain and gastrointestinal tract are critical sensory organs responsible for detecting, relaying, integrating, responding to signals derived from the internal external environment. At interface of this function, immune cells in intestines consistently survey environmental factors, eliciting responses that inform on physiological state body. Recent research reveals cross-talk along gut-brain axis regulates inflammatory nociception, responses, homeostasis. Here, we discuss molecular cellular mechanisms involved signaling inflammation across axis. We further highlight interactions between gut inflammation-associated diseases.

The meninges contain adaptive immune cells that provide immunosurveillance of the central nervous system (CNS). These are thought to derive from systemic circulation. Through single-cell analyses, confocal imaging, bone marrow chimeras, and parabiosis experiments, we show meningeal B locally calvaria, which harbors a niche for hematopoiesis. reach calvaria through specialized vascular connections. This calvarial-meningeal path cell development may CNS with constant supply educated by antigens. Conversely, subset antigen-experienced populate in aging mice blood-borne. results identify private source cells, help maintain privilege within CNS.

Macrophages are innate immune cells that form a 3D network in all our tissues, where they phagocytose dying and cell debris, complexes, bacteria other waste products. Simultaneously, produce growth factors signalling molecules — such activities not only promote host protection response to invading microorganisms but also crucial for organ development homeostasis. There is mounting evidence of macrophages orchestrating fundamental physiological processes, as blood vessel formation, adipogenesis, metabolism central peripheral neuronal function. In parallel, novel methodologies have led the characterization tissue-specific macrophages, with distinct subpopulations these showing different developmental trajectories, transcriptional programmes life cycles.

Throughout the body, lymphatic fluid movement supports critical functions including clearance of excess and metabolic waste. The glymphatic system is analog in CNS. As such, plays a key role regulating directional interstitial movement, waste clearance, and, potentially, brain immunity. enables bulk CSF from subarachnoid space along periarterial spaces, where it mixes with within parenchyma before ultimately exiting via perivenous spaces. This review focuses on important questions about structure this system, why needs transport unexplored aspects transport. We provide evidence that astrocytes blood vessels determine shape perivascular space, controlling fluid. Glymphatic has potential to alter local as well global signaling molecules metabolites. also highlight for cross talk among cardiovascular gastrointestinal tract, system.
