| The authors showed that mitofusin-2 (MFN2) expression was positively correlated with the prognosis of multiple cancers. Genetic ablation of Mfn2 in CD8+ T cells dampened mitochondrial metabolism and function and promoted tumor progression. [Science Immunology] |

|
| Investigators demonstrated that CXCR4hi neutrophils accumulated in the blood and inflamed skin in human psoriasis, and correlated with disease severity. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated how chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell expansion dynamics and serum proteomics affect neutrophil recovery phenotypes after CD19-directed CAR T cell therapy. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists observed that programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)+ T cells demonstrated less activation and proliferation than activated PD-1– populations in vitro. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that acute myeloid leukemia blast-released exosomes enhanced CD3 T cell apoptosis in both CD4 and CD8 T cells. [Cell Communication and Signaling] |
|
|
|
| The authors found that MAP4K1 was highly expressed in the glioma cells of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) specimens.They found that GBM cell-derived MAP4K1 impaired T cell migration and reduced CD8+ T cell infiltration. [Life Science Alliance] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the impact of standard urban particulate matter (PM) and PM2.5 collected from Chiang Mai, Thailand, on human peripheral blood neutrophil functions. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| To analyze whether cytokines or immune cells could inhibit neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, human granulocytes were incubated with IL-4, IL-10, transforming growth factor beta-2 or adenosine and then stimulated to release NETs. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The downregulation of YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1 (YTHDF1) promoted the expression of pro-inflammatory markers and improved the anti-cancer ability of immune cells in breast cancer. [Experimental Cell Research] |
|
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss the cellular and molecular cues that are important for memory T cell homeostasis and highlight opportunities for HIV to hijack normal immunological processes to establish long-term viral persistence. [mBio] |
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize our current knowledge of SHIP1 with a focus on innate immune cells, where they reflect on the most pertinent aspects described in the current literature. [European Journal Of Immunology] |

| APIX Therapeutics, Inc. announced that it has received clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application from the US FDA to initiate a Phase I clinical trial for its first-in-class, immune tolerance restoration small molecule, LPX-TI641, for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. [LAPIX Therapeutics, Inc.] |

|
| Despite negative feedback from the research community, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has decided to move forward with a policy requiring that foreign scientists receiving ‘subawards’ from the agency must share their laboratory notebooks and other raw data with their research partner in the US.
