|
| The authors identified a group of clonotypes, characterized by semi-invariant T cell receptor alpha chains, to be significantly enriched in the blood of patients with Crohn’s disease and particularly expanded in the CD8+ T cell population. [Gut] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the combination of IL-15 with an intratumoral anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) in a dual tumor TRAMP-C2 murine prostate cancer model and expanded the regimen to include an anti-PD-1 mAb. [Clinical Cancer Research] |

|
|
| Investigators showed that Tregs in tumor-bearing omenta predominantly had thymus-derived characteristics. [Cancer Immunology Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists studied the consequences of pAg-stimulated γδ T cell interactions with NK cells and CD8+ T cells, major innate and adaptive effectors, respectively. [Cancer Immunology Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the impact of mammary tumorigenesis on regulatory T cells in distant organs and how this affected multi-organ metastatic disease. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists evaluated if acute exposure to JUUL e-cigarette aerosols in three popular flavors elicited an immunomodulatory or oxidative stress response in mice. [Archives of Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators described that weaning rats fed diets rich in Maillard reaction products were affected in both their immune and endocrine systems. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated whether the EZH2 noncanonical pathway could be involved in early T cell maturation, which required cell polarization. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-overexpressing dendritic cells had increased expression of costimulatory molecules, major histocompatibility complex molecules and IL-12 expression. [International Immunopharmacology] |

|
| The author discusses the increase in circulating follicular helper T cells seen in autoimmune settings and explores potential explanations for this phenomenon. [Nature Reviews Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists review the relationships between central nervous system macrophage populations, with a focus on the origins, phenotypes, and functions of cerebrospinal fluid macrophages in health and disease. [Science Immunology] |
