SARS-CoV-2 experienced ocrelizumab-treated MS patients benefit from SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination by inducing broadprotective CD8+ T-cells, whereas methotrexate-treated RA patients induce delayed but strong antibody responses, which support vaccine strategies for these patient groups.
Resting natural killer cells promote the progress of colon cancer liver metastasis (CCLM), which may be exploited for novel strategies to improve therapeutic outcomes for patients with CCLM.

VPS13A is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and lipid droplets and is required for cellular processes that require interaction between these organells.
The functions of seipin in triacylglycerol nucleation and lipid droplet maturation are studied with all-atom and coarse-grained simulations along with cell experiments, providing a novel model for lipid droplet formation.
Seipin oligomers dynamically interact with small, nascent lipid droplets near the endoplasmic reticulum to convert them into larger, mature lipid droplets in a newly identified step of lipid droplet formation.
