| The authors demonstrated that wide-spectrum antibiotics treatment prior to CD19-targeted CAR-T cell therapy was associated with adverse outcomes, but this effect was likely to be confounded by an increased pretreatment tumor burden and systemic inflammation in patients pretreated with such antibiotics.

| Investigators captured neoantigen-specific T cells from blood and tumors from patients with metastatic melanoma, with or without response to PD-1 immunotherapy, and then generated personalized libraries of neoantigen–HLA capture reagents to single-cell isolate the T cells and clone their T cell receptors.

| Researchers identified conserved behaviors of bone marrow-residing T cells in multiple myeloma patients undergoing BCMAxCD3 bispecific T cell engagers therapy. [Cancer Cell] |

|
| The authors showed that linoleic acid was a major positive regulator of CD8+ T cell activity by improving metabolic fitness, preventing exhaustion, and stimulating a memory-like phenotype with superior effector functions. [Cell Metabolism] |

|
| Tumor samples from patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-TNBC revealed that increased numbers of CD56bright NK cells were present in TNBC tumors, and were correlated to poor overall survival in patients with TNBC. [Science Translational Medicine] |

|
| Scientists identified 16 patients from 10 families spanning three continents with a profound phenotype of early-life onset allergic immune dysregulation, including hypereosinophilia with esosinophilic gastrointestinal disease, asthma, elevated serum IgE, IgE-mediated food allergies, anaphylaxis, and other manifestations.

|
| Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation recapitulated CD8+ T cell hyper-functions and synergized with anti-PD-1, in line with a better prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer patients containing high BCAAs when receiving anti-PD-1 therapy. [Cell Reports] |

|
| TRIB2 deficiency increased AKT activity and accelerated proliferation and differentiation in response to IL-7 in humans, and during lymphopenia in mice. [Cell Reports] |

|
|
| Scientists investigated the effects of the Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor, remibrutinib, on human blood basophils and CD34+-derived mast cells activation induced by serum obtained from chronic urticaria patients. [Clinical And Translational Allergy] |

|
| The authors discuss recent advances in our understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment and provide a comprehensive overview of the immune determinants of the pre-metastatic niches’ spatiotemporal evolution. [Cancer Cell] |
