For over a decade, Immune Regulation News has been keeping the scientific community up-to-date with the latest research and reviews related to immune regulation. Key research areas covered include the roles of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in autoimmunity and self-reactivity, as well as immune response to disease, transplantation and cancer. We also provide vital updates on the latest jobs and upcoming events in the field of immunology.

Induced, but Not Natural, Regulatory T Cells Retain Phenotype and Function Following Exposure to Inflamed Synovial Fibroblasts

Scientists compared of both Treg subsets and demonstrated that induced Tregs, but not natural Tregs, retained Foxp3 expression and regulatory function on T effector cells after being primed with inflamed synovial fibroblasts.

Overcoming Primary and Acquired Resistance to Anti-PD-L1 Therapy by Induction and Activation of Tumor-Residing cDC1s

Using multiple orthotopic tumor mouse models resistant to anti-PD-L1-therapy, scientists tested the hypothesis that in situ induction and activation of tumor-residing cDC1s overcomes poor T-cell infiltration.

Modulation of PKM Activity affects the Differentiation of TH17 Cells

To understand how TEPP-46 and DASA-58 alter T cell function, scientists assessed their therapeutic activity in a mouse model of T cell–mediated autoimmunity that mimics multiple sclerosis.

Pairwise Stimulations of Pathogen-Sensing Pathways Predict Immune Responses to Multi-Adjuvant Combinations

Using coculture experiments and statistical analyses, researchers discover a general property for the combinatorial sensing of microbial signals, whereby the effects of triplet combinations of microbial signals on immune responses can be predicted by combining the effects of single and pairs.

Tunable Dynamics of B Cell Selection in Gut Germinal Centres

By combining multicolour ‘Brainbow’ cell-fate mapping and sequencing of immunoglobulin genes from single cells, scientists found that 5–10% of gut-associated germinal centres from specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice contained highly dominant ‘winner’ B cell clones at steady state, despite rapid turnover of germinal-centre B cells.

The SARS-CoV-2 Targets by the PscRNA Profiling of ACE2, TMPRSS2 and Furin Proteases

Scientists incorporated the protein information to analyze the expression of ACE2, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, together with co-factors, TMPRSS2 and Furin, at single cell level in situ, which they called protein-proofed single-cell RNA (pscRNA) profiling.

Metabolic Regulation by PPARγ Is Required for IL-33-Mediated Activation of ILC2s in Lung and Adipose Tissue

Scientists found that the metabolic sensor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma was highly expressed in ILC2s of the lung and adipose tissue and increased responsiveness to IL-33.
