Follicular helper T cells promote liver pathology in mice during Schistosoma japonicum infection. by Xiaojun Chen, Xiaowei Yang, Yong Li, Jifeng Zhu, Sha Zhou, Zhipeng Xu, Lei He, Xue Xue, Weiwei Zhang, Xiaoxiao Dong, Henry Wu, Carrie J Li, Hsiang-Ting Hsu, Wenjun Kong, Feng Liu, Prem B Tripathi, Michelle S Yu, Jason Chang, Liang Zhou, Chuan Su

“…In this study, we for the first time showed that follicular helper T (Tfh) cells are recruited to the liver to upregulate hepatic granuloma formation and liver injury in S. japonicum-infected mice, and identified a novel function of macrophages in Tfh cell induction. In addition, our results showed that the generation of Tfh cells driven by macrophages is dependent on cell-cell contact and the level of inducible costimulator ligand (ICOSL) on macrophages which is regulated by CD40-CD40L signaling. …”

ELTD1 inhibits differentiation of hemogenic endothelium progenitors from human embryonic stem cells through the HPIP–Wnt pathway by Qian Luo, Yijin Chen, Honghu Li, Yan Long, Wei Shan, Xiangjun Zeng, Shuyang Cai, Ye Meng, Cong Wei, Yulin Xu, Ruxiu Tie, Yi Luo, Pengxu Qian, Meng Zhang, He Huang

“…We then investigate the impact of ELTD1 on the hematopoietic differentiation of hESCs via gain- and loss-of-function experiments. Knockdown or deletion of ELTD1 mediates hESC hematopoiesis by specifically facilitating the generation of HEPs, thus promoting endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition to generate more hematopoietic cells. …”
