|
| Using 3D immune-stem cell organoids, single-cell analysis of human emphysema lungs, and studies in murine models, the authors investigated aberrant tissue-immune interactions in emphysema. [Immunity] |

|
|
| Scientists identified a previously uncharacterized immune subset, referred to as plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC)-like cells, that not only resembled pDCs but also shared conventional DC features. [Science Immunology] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that glycolysis drove STING signaling to facilitate dendritic cell (DC)-mediated antitumor immune responses. Tumor-infiltrating DCs exhibited elevated glycolysis, and blockade of glycolysis by DC-specific Ldha/Ldhb double deletion resulted in defective antitumor immunity. [Journal Of Clinical Investigation] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed by genomic profiling of a large cohort of metastatic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas that high mutational load, microsatellite instability and somatic copy-number alteration burden were associated with ATRX/TERT alterations and were suitable prognostic markers. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers detailed a multi-organ single-cell RNA sequencing of a mouse immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) model, and conducted meta-analyses of human IMIDs as well. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators introduced a method that combined antibody-based cell barcoding with parallel droplet processing to automatically formulate cell population × stimulus combinations in a microfluidic device, and they applied it to profile the effects of 512 sequential stimulation conditions on human dendritic cells. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Mapping of the oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas human leukocyte antigens (HLA) ligandome was performed by mass spectrometry based analysis of naturally presented HLA ligands isolated from tumor tissue samples (n = 40) using immunoaffinity purification. [British Journal Of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Twelve participants with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis aged >50 years were blinded and randomized at a 1:1 ratio to either receive three weeks of dasatinib and quercetin, or matching placebo. [Ebiomedicine] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss intestinal B cells and their role when a loss of homeostasis results in intestinal and systemic inflammatory diseases. [Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| The authors summarize the emerging role of tumor epithelial-to-mesenchymal plasticity in immune checkpoint blockade resistance and the tumor-intrinsic or extrinsic mechanisms by which tumors exploit this plasticity to achieve immunosuppression and immune escape. [Cellular & Molecular Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss the molecular biology underlying radiation-induced tumor immunity as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies combining radiation with immune checkpoint blockade treatments, with a focus on translational and clinical trials in small-cell lung cancer.

|
| A Phase II proof-of-concept trial of farudodstat in alopecia areata is expected to start enrolling patients in the United States in the second quarter of 2023. [ASLAN Pharmaceuticals] |
