Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a classic example of inflammation-linked cancer. To characterize the role of the immune system in hepatic injury and tumor development, we comparatively studied the extent of liver disease and hepatocarcinogenesis in immunocompromised versus immunocompetent Fah-deficient mice. Strikingly, chronic liver injury and tumor development were markedly suppressed in alymphoid Fah(-/-) mice despite an overall increased mortality. Mechanistically, we show that CD8(+) T cells and lymphotoxin β are central mediators of HCC formation. Antibody-mediated depletion of CD8(+) T cells as well as pharmacological inhibition of the lymphotoxin-β receptor markedly delays tumor development in mice with chronic liver injury. Thus, our study unveils distinct functions of the immune system, which are required for liver regeneration, survival, and hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Homing of allogeneic donor T cells to recipient tissue is imperative for the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In this study we show that alteration of T cell homing due to integrin-β7 deficiency on T cells or its ligand MAdCAM-1 in BMT recipients contributes to the pathophysiology of experimental GVHD. In contrast, lack of CC chemokine receptor 9 on donor T cells alters tissue homing but does not impact GVHD survival. We further demonstrate that MAdCAM-1 is aberrantly expressed in hepatic murine GVHD as well as in patients with active liver GVHD. However, infiltration of donor T cells in gut but not liver was dependent of MAdCAM-1 expression, indicating, that homing and/or retention of donor T cells rests on divergent molecular pathways depending on the GVHD target tissue.

Abstract
SYNOPSIS Skin colours are notoriously different between individuals. They are governed by ethnicities and phototypes, and further influenced by a variety of factors including photoexposures and sustained mechanical stress. Indeed, mechanobiology is a feature affecting the epidermal melanization. High-resolution epiluminescence colorimetry helps in deciphering the effects of forces generated by Langer's lines or relaxed skin tension lines on the melanocyte activity. The same procedure shows a prominent laddering pattern of melanization in striae distensae contrasting with the regular honeycomb pattern in the surrounding skin.
