Piao W, Wu L, Xiong Y, Zapas G, Paluskievicz C, Oakes R, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Dec; 15(1):10468. PMID: 39622857
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) with multifaceted functions suppress anti-tumor immunity by signaling surrounding cells. Here we report Tregs use the surface lymphotoxin (LT)α1β2 to preferentially stimulate LT beta receptor (LTβR)...

Kong D, WillsonShirkey M, Piao W, Wu L, Luo S, Kensiski A, et al.
Eur J Immunol . 2024 Nov; 55(1):e202451321. PMID: 39555653
Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are pivotal stromal components that maintain the structure of secondary lymphoid tissues and modulate the immune responses within the lymphoid microenvironment. In response to specific immune...

Transplantation . 2024 Apr; 108(7):e91-e105. PMID: 38587506
Background: Despite ongoing improvements to regimens preventing allograft rejection, most cardiac and other organ grafts eventually succumb to chronic vasculopathy, interstitial fibrosis, or endothelial changes, and eventually graft failure. The...

Ma B, Gavzy S, France M, Song Y, Lwin H, Kensiski A, et al.
BMC Microbiol . 2023 Dec; 23(1):394. PMID: 38066426
Intrinsic metabolism shapes the immune environment associated with immune suppression and tolerance in settings such as organ transplantation and cancer. However, little is known about the metabolic activities in an...

Li L, Wu L, Kensiski A, Zhao J, Shirkey M, Song Y, et al.
JCI Insight . 2023 Apr; 8(8). PMID: 37092548
Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) play important roles in tolerance by producing laminin α4 (Lama4) and altering lymph node (LN) structure and function. The present study revealed the specific roles of...

Sci Rep . 2023 Jan; 13(1):1023. PMID: 36658194
The beneficial effects attributed to Bifidobacterium are largely attributed to their immunomodulatory capabilities, which are likely to be species- and even strain-specific. However, their strain-specificity in direct and indirect immune...

Li L, Shirkey M, Zhang T, Piao W, Li X, Zhao J, et al.
J Clin Invest . 2022 Jul; 132(13). PMID: 35775481
Lymph node (LN) fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) define LN niches and regulate lymphocyte homeostasis through producing diverse extracellular matrix (ECM) components. We examined the role of ECM laminin α4 (Lama4)...

Nat Commun . 2022 Apr; 13(1):2176. PMID: 35449134
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 are checkpoint molecules which regulate immune responses. Little is known about their functions in T cell migration and there are contradictory data about...
