#ESMO25: In #thymic epithelial tumours, rivoceranib after prior therapy and peri-operative pembrolizumab demonstrated promising efficacy but were not superior to standard therapies. Read more in the #ESMODailyReporter 📌 https://ow.ly/22ES50XiaXb

Top: Overview of the scRNA-Seq experiment; WT young (2–3 months of age), WT middle-aged (8–12 months of age), MycTg middle-aged, WT aged (15–18 months of age), and iMycTg aged-E (enlarged) (15–18 months of age) mice were infected with 10 cysts of T. gondii. T-cells were isolated from the spleen on day 12 after infection. Middle: A UMAP of the annotated CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations. Bottom: Bar plot showing the abundance of the annotated CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations.
Age-related thymic decline impairs #Tcell #immunity, increasing infection risk in the #elderly. This study shows that enhancing #thymic function in aged mice restores naïve T cells and improves immune responses, thus supporting thymic regeneration in aging @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46yMgW3

I’m pleased to share that I’ve been awarded an Independent Investigator Grant from @RallyFoundation for Childhood Cancer Research to support our research on regenerating #thymic function.
Grateful to be part of this mission.
Let’s #RallyOn and stay #GOLDSTRONG for every child and family affected.
ONLINE COVER: Lymph Nodes Get a Remodel. Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are stromal cells that coordinate structural remodeling and adaptive immune responses in the lymph node. Using single-cell transcriptomics and high-resolution microscopy, Lütge et al. comprehensively characterized the stromal cell landscape of human lymph nodes during quiescence and inflammation. Inflammation drove lymph node remodeling including the expansion of peptidase inhibitor 16 (PI16)+ FRCs in macrophage-rich perivascular niches. This month’s cover image shows an inflamed human lymph node that has undergone expansion of podoplanin+ FRCs (purple) near alpha smooth muscle actin (ACTA2)+ vascular smooth muscle cells (green) to support immune cell infiltration and BCL6+ germinal center B cell (orange) activity.

After a recent prognosis given for #thymic #cancer that I basically have ten years left, I've decided to do something meaningful. I'm now helping to look after these gorgeous little chaps and chappesses before their eventual release into the wild. This is a dream. 🦔❤️💕
