    Drivers of Heterogeneity in Synovial Fibroblasts in Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Investigators explored drivers of fibroblast-like synoviocyte heterogeneity in inflamed joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis using paired single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing, multiplexed imaging, and spatial transcriptomics.

    Distant Antimetastatic Effect of Enterotropic Colon Cancer–Derived α4β7+CD8+ T Cells

    The presence of concomitant colon tumors improved control of liver lesions by anti–PD-L1 proof-of-concept immunotherapy and generated protective immune memory, whereas partial depletion of α4β7+ cells abrogated control of metastases.

    Abstract

    B Cell Profiles, Antibody Repertoire, and Reactivity Reveal Dysregulated Responses with Autoimmune Features in Melanoma

    The authors showed comprehensive phenotyping in samples of circulating and tumor-resident B cells as well as serum antibodies in melanoma patients.

    MUC1 Glycopeptide Vaccine Modified with a GalNAc Glycocluster Targets the Macrophage Galactose C-type Lectin on Dendritic Cells to Elicit an Improved Humoral Response

    Researchers prepared, via a solid phase peptide synthesis approach, a modular tripartite vaccine candidate, incorporating a high-affinity glycocluster based on a tetraphenylethylene scaffold, to target the macrophage galactose-type lectin on antigen presenting cells.

    Abstract

    Annexin A1 Is a Cell-Intrinsic Metalloregulator of Zinc in Human ILC2s

    Investigators analyzed human group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) derived from different tissues and pathological conditions and identified ANXA1, encoding annexin A1, as a commonly highly expressed gene in non-activated ILC2s.

    Regulation of Systemic Metabolism by Tissue-Resident Immune Cell Circuits

    The authors review the evidence describing key cellular networks within and between the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and adipose tissue that control systemic metabolism and how these cell circuits become dysregulated during certain metabolic diseases.
