| In a series of clinical studies on male and female participants that involved graded amounts of protein ingestion together with detailed plasma amino acid analysis and human monocyte/macrophage experiments, the authors identified leucine as the key activator of mTOR signaling in macrophages. [Nature Metabolism] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that tumor-associated monocytes were highly correlated with the accumulation of CD8+ memory T cells in human cancers. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Using single-cell transcriptomic and spatial multiplex immunofluorescence analyses, scientists showed that PD-L1+ tumor-associated macrophages were mature and immunostimulatory with spatial preference to T cells. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that constitutive expression of Δ133p53α potentiated the anti-tumor activity of CD19-directed CAR T cells and limits dysfunction under conditions of high tumor burden and metabolic stress. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |

|
|
| Investigators analyzed serum samples from 90 humans and 72 rhesus macaques for the abundance and activity of the complement system components. [mBio] |

|
|
| Frozen T cell-free cord blood mononuclear cells were cultured with recombinant human interleukin (rhIL)-18 and rhIL-2 in anti-NKp46 and anti-CD16 antibody immobilization settings. [Regenerative Therapy] |

|
| Three Luminex xMAP assays and two ELLA microfluidic cartridges were used to screen 28 immune-related biomarkers in 38 paired serum and citrate-theophylline-adenosine-dipyridamole plasma samples. [International Journal Of Biological Markers] |

|
| Researchers described a Chinese patient with infantile-onset diabetes and multiorgan autoimmunity. The patient presented with early-onset type 1 diabetes and autoimmune hypothyroidism at seven months. [Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine] |
|

|
|
| The authors explore in detail the complexity of NK cell biology in humans and highlight the role of these cells in cancer immunity. [Nature] |
|
|
|
| Along with the introduction of key technical advancements in immunopeptidomics, the potential and further directions of immunopeptidomics are reviewed from the perspective of cancer immunotherapy. [Cancer Science] |
