Immune Regulation NewsImmune Regulation News is an online publicaiton and email newsletter covering research into the regulation, suppression, and modulation of the immune system.
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.

Genome-Wide Associations for Immune Traits in Two Maternal Pig Lines
The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions with a biological relevance for the immunocompetence of piglets. Genome-wide Association Studies in 535 Landrace and 461 Large White piglets were performed, investigating 20 immune relevant traits.

Intrauterine Administration of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) Improves Embryo Implantation in Mice by Regulating Local Treg/Th17 Cell Balance
Investigators determined the effect of intrauterine administration of mouse PBMCs prior to embryo implantation on endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation, and examined the underlying mechanism of Treg/Th17 cell balance following intrauterine administration of PBMCs.

Biomaterial-Enabled Induction of Pancreatic-Specific Regulatory T Cells through Distinct Signal Transduction Pathways
Scientists used poly (lactic-co-glycolide) to co-encapsulate type 1 diabetes-relevant antigen and 3 distinct TREG-inducing molecules – rapamycin, all-trans retinoic acid, and butyrate – that targeted the mechanistic target of Rapa, the retinoid pathway, and histone deacetylase inhibition, respectively.

Tubular Lysosomes Harbor Active Ion Gradients and Poise Macrophages for Phagocytosis
Investigators described a DNA-based assembly that tubulated lysosomes in macrophages without activating them. Proteolytic activity maps at single-lysosome resolution revealed that tubular lysosomes were less degradative and showed proximal to distal luminal pH and Ca2+ gradients.
