| The authors studied how genome configuration was integrated with CD8+ T cell differentiation during infection, and investigated the role of CTCF, a key chromatin remodeler, in modulating CD8+ T cell fates through CTCF knockdown approaches and perturbation of specific CTCF-binding sites.

|
| Scientists showed that tolerance in skin was controlled by microbial interaction with a specialized subset of antigen-presenting cells. CD301b+ type 2 conventional dendritic cells in neonatal skin were specifically capable of uptake and presentation of commensal antigens for the generation of regulatory T cells. [Immunity] |

|
|
| Investigators analyzed seven molecular datasets of samples from patients with advanced melanoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor agents to investigate clinical, genomic, and transcriptomic features of anti-PD-1 response in cutaneous melanoma. [Cancer Cell] |
|
|
|
| Analysis of human and murine hepatic and pulmonary fibrosis samples revealed accumulation of CD9+TREM2+ macrophages near scar sites and proximal to activated mesenchymal cells. [Science Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that circulating tumor-reactive lymphocytes could be isolated from peripheral blood at high yield and purity via microfluidic immunomagnetic cell sorting, allowing for comprehensive downstream analyses of these rare cells. [Nature Biomedical Engineering] |
|
|
|
| Scientists observed higher CD8+ T cell infiltration, immune checkpoint expression, and exhausted T cells after treatment. [Nature Cancer] |
|
|
|
| In patients who experienced partial response or stable disease, elevated Igα2 expression correlated with T- and B-cell infiltration, suggesting that tertiary lymphoid structures existed in these patients’ tumors. [Nature Cancer] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported broad expression of six transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 1 (STEAP1) relative to prostate-specific membrane antigen in lethal metastatic prostate cancers and the development of a STEAP1-directed CAR T cell therapy. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers studied the cell-intrinsic response of lung cancer to interferon-γ (IFNγ), a cytokine that promotes immunoresponse and modulates PD-L1 levels. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|  |
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize the basic principles of oncolytic viruses (OVs) in terms of their classifications, as well as the recent advances in OV-modification strategies based on their characteristics, biofunctions, and cancer hallmarks. [Signal Transduction And Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Researchers discuss the latest advances in the field of miRNA-encapsulating nanoparticles in cancer, focusing on colorectal cancer and its metastatic forms, one of the most common malignancies worldwide. [Molecular Therapy-Nucleic acids] |

Immutep Limited announced it has signed an agreement to expand the INSIGHT-003 trial evaluating the combination of eftilagimod alpha in conjunction with standard-of-care combination of anti-PD-1 therapy and chemotherapy in first line non- small cell lung cancer. [Immuntep Limited] |
