| The authors showed that IL-23 induced IL-17A only in MAIT cells, possibly contributing to the incomplete penetrance of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis in patients unresponsive to IL-23. By contrast, IL-23 was required for both baseline and Mycobacterium-inducible IFN-γ immunity in both Vδ2+ γδ T and MAIT cells. [Science Immunology] |

| To improve the response rate and reverse immunosuppression, scientists combined D2C7-IT tumor cell killing with αCD40 costimulation of antigen-presenting cells. These promising preclinical data allowed for the initiatiation of a Phase I study with D2C7-IT+αhCD40 in patients with malignant glioma. [Science Translational Medicine] |

| Researchers report a cooperative Nano-CRISPR scaffold that utilized a specific sgRNA, selected from a functional screen for triggering endogenous GDSME expression, while releasing cisplatin to initiate immunologic cell death. [Nature Communications] |

| The authors performed single-cell V(D)J- and RNA-seq on sorted B cells from the colon of healthy individuals and patients with ulcerative colitis. [Journal Of Experimental Medicine] |

| Endogenous ouabain, an adrenergic hormone, was elevated in patients with non–small cell lung cancer, and was closely related to tumor pathological stage, metastasis, and survival. [Science Advances] |

| Ex vivo flow cytometry was performed on post-mortem blood, cerebrospinal fluid, meninges and white matter from 28 multiple sclerosis and 10 control brain donors to characterize B cells and antibody-secreting cells. [Ebiomedicine] |

|
| To specifically direct NK cells towards tumor cells, researchers developed oncolytic measles vaccines encoding bispecific killer engagers targeting CD16A on NK cells and carcinoembryonic antigen as a model tumor antigen. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
| Investigators studied an intelligent nanocomposite polymer immunomodulator, drug-free polypyrrole-polyethyleneimine nanozyme (PPY-PEI NZ), which effectively suppressed B cell colony-like growth in vitro accompanied by cytotoxicity via apoptosis induction. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |

|
| To enhance a previously designed an oncolytic adenovirus, the authors increaseed the IgG1 Fc-effector mechanisms of the IgGA Fc-fusion peptide, by adding four somatic mutations that increased natural killer cell activation. [Molecular Therapy Oncolytics] |

Scientists review the clinical experience with self-replicating RNA-based cancer vaccines, and recent safety data from a study combining a viral replicon particles encoding HER2 plus an anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |
