    STAT3 Gain-of-Function Mutations Connect Leukemia with Autoimmune Disease by Pathological NKG2Dhi CD8+ T Cell Dysregulation and Accumulation

    The authors analyzed patients and mice with germline STAT3 gain-of-function (GOF) mutations, finding that these mutations drove the accumulation of effector CD8+ T cell clones highly expressing the NKG2D receptor.

    Distinct Changes in Endosomal Composition Promote NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation

    Researchers demonstrated that NLR family pyrin domain containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activators primarily converged on disruption of endoplasmic reticulum–endosome membrane contact sites.

    mTORC1 Links Pathology in Experimental Models of Still’s Disease and Macrophage Activation Syndrome

    Single-cell RNA sequencing in a murine model of Still’s disease showed preferential activation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in monocytes; both mTOR inhibition and monocyte depletion attenuated disease severity.

    GPSM1 Impairs Metabolic Homeostasis by Controlling a Pro-Inflammatory Pathway in Macrophages

    Mice with myeloid-specific G-protein-signaling modulator 1 (GPSM1) ablation were protected against high fat diet-induced insulin resistance, glucose dysregulation, and liver steatosis via repression of adipose tissue pro-inflammatory states.

    Early T-Bet Promotes LFA1 Upregulation Required for CD8+ Effector and Memory T Cell Development

    Researchers showed that, following vaccination with a replication-deficient strain of Toxoplasma gondii, CD8+ T cell expression of T-bet was required for optimal expansion of parasite-specific effector CD8+ T cells.

    Abstract

    The Lysosomal Ragulator Complex Activates NLRP3 Inflammasome In Vivo via HDAC6

    Deficiency of Lamtor1, an essential component of the Ragulator complex, abrogated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in murine macrophages and human monocytic cells.

    Identification of aceNKPs, a Committed Common Progenitor Population of the ILC1 and NK Cell Continuum

    Using novel polychromic mice to achieve higher phenotypic resolution, scientists have characterized bone marrow progenitors that were committed to the group 1 ILC lineage.

    Antigen-Presenting T Cells Provide Critical B7 Co-stimulation for Thymic iNKT Cell Development via CD28-Dependent Trogocytosis

    Mechanistically, antigen-presenting T cells provided co-stimulation through an unconventional mechanism, acquiring B7 molecules via CD28-dependent trogocytosis from B7-expressing thymic epithelial cells, dendritic cells, and B cells.

    Exploring the Role of Exosomes in Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Exosomes could be administered for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, by acting as therapeutic vectors. Exosomes are murine extracellular vesicles that influence biological mechanisms and signal transduction by transporting genetic and protein components.
