Convergent Evolution of Monocyte Differentiation in Adult Skin Instructs Langerhans Cell Identity

[Science Immunology] Using ablation of embryo-derived Langerhans cells in the murine adult skin and tracking differentiation of incoming monocyte-derived replacements, researchers found intrinsic intraepidermal heterogeneity.

TCF-1 and TOX Regulate the Memory Formation of Intestinal Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells in Asthma

[Nature Communications] Based on house dust mite-induced mice asthma models and human samples, the authors applied flow cytometry, parabiosis, in vivo imaging, and adoptive transplantation to confirm the persistence, migration, and function of CD45+lineageCD90.2+NK1.1NKp46ST2KLRG1+IL-17RB+ memory-like ILC2s.

Tissue-Specific Inducible IL-33 Expression Elicits Features of Eosinophilic Esophagitis

[Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology] Scientists utilized a tetracycline-inducible system to express IL-33 in the esophagus by generating two transgenic mice.

TNFSF14+ Natural Killer Cells Prevent Spontaneous Abortion by Restricting Leucine-Mediated Decidual Stromal Cell Senescence

[EMBO Journal] Investigators performed single-cell RNA transcriptomics on endometrial stromal cells and decidual stromal cells and found that cell senescence during decidualization was accompanied by increased levels of the branched-chain amino acid transporter SLC3A2.

Single-Cell Analysis Identifies Distinct Macrophage Phenotypes Associated with Prodisease and Proresolving Functions in the Endometriotic Niche

[Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America] Using single-cell RNA-Seq in a mouse model, researchers determined the transcriptomic profiles and functions of different macrophages within endometriosis lesions and in the peritoneal cavity.

cGAS Activation in Classical Dendritic Cells Causes Autoimmunity in TREX1-Deficient Mice

[Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America] In order to determine the type of cells in which cGAS activation drives autoinflammation, the authors generated conditional cGAS knockout mice on the three prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1)-/- background.

Endosialin-Positive CAFs Promote Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Suppressing CD8+ T Cell Infiltration

[Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer] Single-cell sequencing and flow cytometry analysis showed that tumor tissues from endosialin knockout mice had increased CD8+ T cell infiltration.

CD98hc Promotes Drug Resistance in Extranodal Natural Killer/T Cell Lymphoma through Tumor Cell–Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles

[Science Signaling] Scientists showed that high abundance of the transmembrane glycoprotein CD98hc in tumor cells and serum small extracellular vessicles was associated with extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma progression and drug resistance.

Hepatic Immune Regulation and Sex Disparities

[Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] Investigators discuss the basic mechanisms of sex disparity in hepatic immune regulation and how these mechanisms influence and modify the development of autoimmune liver diseases, genetic liver diseases, portal hypertension and inflammation in chronic liver disease.

Distinct Mucosal Endotypes as Initiators and Drivers of Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Nature Reviews Rheumatology] The authors argue that mucosal sites and their associated microbial strains can contribute to rheumatoid arthritis evolution via distinct pathogenic mechanisms, which can be considered causal mucosal endotypes.

Vironexis Biotherapeutics Launches with FDA Clearance of IND Application for First-Ever Clinical Trial of an AAV-delivered Cancer Immunotherapy

[Vironexis Biotherapeutics] Vironexis Biotherapeutics lauched with unveiling its TransJoin™ AAV Gene Therapy Platform and a pipeline of more than ten product candidates for blood-based cancers, solid tumor metastasis prevention, and a cancer vaccine.

Caveolin-1 Knockout Mitigates Breast Cancer Metastasis to the Lungs via Integrin α3 Dysregulation in 4T1-Induced Syngeneic Breast Cancer Model

[Cancer Gene Therapy] The authors presented the first evidence that caveolin-1 knockout in mammary epithelial cells significantly reduced lung metastasis in syngeneic breast cancer mouse models.
