|
| Investigators showed that the azo dyes Red 40 and Yellow 6, the most abundant food colorants in the world, could trigger an IBD-like colitis in mice conditionally expressing interluekin (IL)-23, or in two additional animal models in which IL-23 expression was augmented. [Cell Metabolism] |

|
| To clarify which T cell subsets were involved in the development of destructive thyroiditis (thyroid-irAE), a mouse model of thyroid-irAE was analyzed. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that the CD200-CD200R pathway restrained activation of CD200R+ lesional macrophages, their production of CCR2 ligands, and monocyte recruitment in vitro and in vivo in an air pouch model. [Circulation Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors combined transcriptional and epigenetic profiling to identify a human effector Treg cell signature. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed conjugate vaccines against mouse IL-4 and IL-13, and demonstrated their prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in reducing IgE levels, AHR, eosinophilia and mucus production in mouse models of asthma analyzed up to 15 weeks after initial vaccination. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that aging, known to negatively impact immune responses, impaired asymmetric cell division in murine CD8+ T cells, and that this phenotype could be rescued by transient mTOR inhibition. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported PD-1 signaling regulated the initial T cell receptor antigen recognition manifested in a smaller spreading area, fewer molecular bonds formed, and shorter bond lifetime of T cell interaction with peptide-major histocompatibility complex in the presence than absence of PD-1 ligand-1 in a manner dependent on Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatases and Leukocyte C-terminal Src kinase. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated that preoperative ProIL2 and surgery treatment was vastly superior to ProIL2 or surgery alone in eradicating metastases and could also prevent cancer recurrence in mammary tumor-bearing mice. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that blocking PD-1/PD-L1 interaction between myeloid-derived suppressor cells and B cells could reverse the immunosuppressive functions of PD-1−PD-L1+ Bregs. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used multiphoton intravital microscopy to examine the role of RGD-binding integrins and signaling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase P110δ in intradermal Treg migration in resting and inflamed skin. [Frontiers in Immunology] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors provide an overview of chemokine biology, with a particular focus on the genetic and epigenetic regulation of chemokine transcription as well as on the cell type-specific production of chemokines by liver cells and liver-associated immune cells. [Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators present an integrated view of fibroblast-macrophage interactions that is centered on the CSF1-CSF1R axis and discuss how additional molecular programs linking these cell types can underpin disease onset, progression, and resolution. [Immunity] |
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize the current evidence for epigenetic regulation of immune-related pathways in cancer and describe bioinformatics tools, informative visualization techniques, and resources to help decipher the cancer epigenome. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |

|
| Connect Biopharma Holdings Limited announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase II trial evaluating CBP-201 in adults with moderate-to-severe persistent asthma. [Connect Biopharma Holdings Limited] |
|
|
|
| Auris Medical Holding Ltd. announced that it has reached the midpoint for enrollment in Part B of its Phase II proof-of-concept trial of AM-125 in the treatment of acute peripheral vertigo. [Auris Medical Holding Ltd.] |
