In this issue of Blood, Hou et al show the involvement of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and identify a novel mechanism by which high-dose dexamethasone (HD-DXM) promotes MDSC expansion and function and correlates with increased platelet

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are heterogeneous immature cells and natural inhibitors of adaptive immunity. In this study, the MDSC population was evaluated in adult patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), where cell-mediated immune mechanisms are involved in platelet destruc

Immunological memory is a defining feature of vertebrate physiology, allowing rapid responses to repeat infections. However, the molecular mechanisms required for its establishment and maintenance remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the first steps in the acquisition of T-cell memor
