T-cell exhaustion is characterized by the stepwise and progressive loss of T cell functions under conditions of antigen-persistence, which occurs following chronic infections and tumor outgrowth. Exhausted T cells present functional defects, express multiple inhibitory receptors and show reprogrammed transcriptional regulation. As T cell exhaustion is correlated to its dysfunction to control infections and tumors, exploring new strategies to target exhausted T cell may reverse this dysfunctional state and reinvigorate immune response. This study takes CD8+ T cell as an example, which acts as an important subset involved in exhaustion state, discuss current understanding of the properties of exhausted T cell and the mechanisms that promote and maintain this state, and reveal new therapeutic targets for chronic infection and cancer.

Cerebral hemorrhage is one of the refractory diseases which seriously endangers the safety of human life. Immune and inflammatory reaction participate in the whole process of cerebral hemorrhage, which can destroy the blood-brain barrier, accelerate brain edema, at the same time start and amplify the oxidative stress reaction, and aggravate the nerve function damage. After cerebral hemorrhage, many kinds of signal molecules are produced, which can activate the microglia and astrocytes around the hematoma, produce inflammatory factors and oxidizing mediators, and regulate the inflammatory response of the brain. Exploring the relationship between glial cell and immune, inflammatory responses is helpful to understand the mechanism of intracerebral hemorrhage intervention, find out a new target for the intervention of glial cells and develop new drugs and schemes for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.
