| Scientists did a complete phenotyping of two pig kidney xenografts transplanted to decedent humans, using a multimodal strategy combining morphological evaluation, immunophenotyping, gene expression profiling, and whole-transcriptome digital spatial profiling and cell deconvolution. [Lancet] |

|
| IFNε activated anti-tumor T and natural killer cells and prevented the accumulation and activation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells. [Nature] |
|
|
|
| To depict NK cells’ phenotypic and functional diversities in the tumor microenvironment, researchers performed integrative single-cell RNA sequencing analyses on NK cells from 716 patients with cancer, covering 24 cancer types. [Cell] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported on the modular and programmable assembly of IgG antibodies, F(ab) and scFv fragments on DNA origami nanocarriers. [Nature Nanotechnology] |
|
|
|
| Bulk RNA-seq of sorted human exTreg cells identified them as inflammatory and cytotoxic CD4+T cells that were significantly distinct from both natural killer and Treg cells. [Nature Immunology] |
|
|
|
| By analysing lymphocytes from matched human tumor and peripheral blood samples, investigators showed that TIGIT and CD226 co-expression was rare on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists measured T cell bispecific antibodies-mediated CD8+ T cell activation and killing of RMF- human leukocyte antigen-A2-presenting cells in the presence of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and multiple tool compounds. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |

|
|
| The authors studied the role of early innate cytokines (IFNα) and late immune adaptive events (IFNɣ) in insulin defective ribosomal products-derived peptide presentation to diabetogenic CD8+ T cells. [Diabetologia] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified age-associated DNA methylation sites in six purified blood borne immune cell types, naïve B, naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, granulocytes, monocytes and NK cells, collected from healthy individuals interspersed over a wide age range. [eLife] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists examine advances in clinical and scientific knowledge gleaned from studies in select cancers and describe emerging key principles relevant to neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade across many cancer types. [Cancer Cell] |
|
|
|
| The authors review technical issues that compromise single cell analysis of tissue macrophages including limited and unrepresentative yields, fragmentation and generation of remnants, and activation during tissue disaggregation. [Blood] |

|
| Regeneron has scored an FDA nod for Veopoz as the first treatment for the ultra-rare inherited immune condition Chaple disease. The disease, which is also known as CD55-deficient protein-losing enteropathy, has a global patient population of fewer than 100 people. [Fierce Pharma (Regeneron)] |
