TLDR
This review will focus on cell types, cell organization, and immunologic functions specific to the spleen and how these affect initiation of adaptive immunity to systemic blood-borne antigens.Abstract:
The spleen is the largest secondary lymphoid organ in the body and, as such, hosts a wide range of immunologic functions alongside its roles in hematopoiesis and red blood cell clearance. The physical organization of the spleen allows it to filter blood of pathogens and abnormal cells and facilitate low-probability interactions between antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and cognate lymphocytes. APCs specific to the spleen regulate the T and B cell response to these antigenic targets in the blood. This review will focus on cell types, cell organization, and immunologic functions specific to the spleen and how these affect initiation of adaptive immunity to systemic blood-borne antigens. Potential differences in structure and function between mouse and human spleen will also be discussed.read more

B cell depletion therapies in autoimmune disease: advances and mechanistic insights
TL;DR: The understanding of B cell biology is updated, the results of clinical trials using BCDT in autoimmune indications are reviewed, hypotheses for the mechanism of action are discussed, and evolving strategies for targeting B cells beyond depletion are speculated on.

The fetal inflammatory response syndrome: the origins of a concept, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and obstetrical implications

TL;DR: The evidence so far suggests that FIRS may compound the effects of immaturity and neonatal inflammation, thus increasing the risk of neonatal complications and long-term morbidity, and modulation of a dysregulated fetal inflammatory response by the administration of antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory agents, or cell-based therapy holds promise to reduce infant morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: The anatomic foundation of taVNS is outlined and it is emphasized that it significantly modulates the activity and connectivity of a wide range of neural networks, including the default mode network, executive network, and networks involved in emotional and reward circuits, which suggests a link between the suppression of inflammation and changes in brain regions/circuits post taV NS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antigen Cross-Presentation by Macrophages
TL;DR: Because cross-presentation promotes the initiation and potentiation of antigen-specific CD8+ T lymphocyte responses, stimulating macrophages to cross- present antigen might be a promising strategy for antitumor or antiviral therapies.

TL;DR: The spleen enables it to remove older erythrocytes from the circulation and leads to the efficient removal of blood-borne microorganisms and cellular debris, which makes it the most important organ for antibacterial and antifungal immune reactivity.

Tissue-resident macrophages
TL;DR: The tissue niche-specific factors that dictate cell phenotype are discussed, which will allow new strategies to promote the restoration of tissue homeostasis and explain why simplified models of macrophage activation do not explain the extent of heterogeneity seen in vivo.
