Bovine blood and milk T-cell subsets in distinct states of activation and differentiation during subclinical Staphylococcus aureus mastitis

This study identifies changes in T-cell subsets in bovine blood and milk during subclinical Staphylococcus aureus mastitis, showing activation of CD4+, CD8+, and γδ T-cells and differences in naive and memory T-cell proportions.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide enclosed hollow gold nanostructure with tunable surface plasmon resonances to promote near-infrared photothermal conversion

This paper designs and synthesizes SPIO-HGNS nanoparticles with tunable SPR in the NIR range to enhance photothermal conversion for potential photothermal therapies.

Neutrophils encompass a regulatory subset suppressing T cells in apparently healthy cattle and mice

The paper identifies a regulatory subset of neutrophils in mice and cattle that suppress T cell proliferation through MHC-II expression and contact-dependent mechanisms.

Lactate potentiates differentiation and expansion of cytotoxic T cells

This study shows that lactate enhances the anti-tumour activity of cytotoxic T cells by increasing their proliferation and cytotoxicity during exercise.
