    LRRC15+ Myofibroblasts Dictate the Stromal Setpoint To Suppress Tumor Immunity

    In mouse models of pancreatic cancer, scientists provide in vivo genetic evidence that TGFβ receptor type 2 signaling in healthy dermatopontin+ universal fibroblasts is essential for the development of cancer-associated LRRC15+ myofibroblasts.

    Crosstalk Between CD4+ T Cells and Airway Smooth Muscle in Pediatric Obesity-Related Asthma

    Chemotaxis of obese asthma and healthy-weight asthma TH cells, and their adhesion to obese and healthy-weight non-asthmatic airway smooth muscle, was investigated.

    Abstract

    Polarization of Tumor-Associated Macrophages Promoted by Vitamin C-Loaded Liposomes for Cancer Immunotherapy

    Researchers reported that the specified delivery of vitamin C at the tumor site by responsive lipid nanoparticles could efficiently induce oxidative toxicity and the polarization of M1 macrophages, promoting the infiltration of activating cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment.

    A Stk4-Foxp3–NF-κB p65 Transcriptional Complex Promotes Treg Cell Activation and Homeostasis

    Investigators showed that T cell receptor signaling in Treg cells induced the nuclear translocation of serine/threonine kinase 4 (Stk4), leading to the formation of an Stk4–NF-κB p65–Foxp3 complex that regulated Foxp3- and p65-dependent transcriptional programs.

    Dysregulated Stem Cell Niches and Altered Lymphocyte Recirculation Cause B and T Cell Lymphopenia in WHIM Syndrome

    Using a CXCR4 R334X gain-of-function mouse model of WHIM syndrome, scientists showed that lymphopoiesis is reduced because of a dysregulated mesenchymal stem cell transcriptome characterized by a switch from an adipogenic to an osteolineage-prone program with limited lymphopoietic activity.

    Abstract

    Combined IgE Neutralization and Bifidobacterium longum Supplementation Reduces the Allergic Response in Models of Food Allergy

    The authors assessed a fusion protein with extracellular domain of high affinity IgE receptor, FcεRIα, linked to a IgD/IgG4 hybrid Fc domain we term IgETRAP, to reduce the risk of IgG1 Fc-mediated side effects.

    Selected Commensals Educate the Intestinal Vascular and Immune System for Immunocompetence

    While the immature colon of C. rodentium-infected germ-free mice did not allow sufficient extravasation of neutrophils into the gut lumen, colonization with OMM12 + MC2 commensals initiated the expansion and activation of the visceral vascular system enabling granulocyte transmigration.

    Activated Natural Killer Cells-Dependent Dendritic Cells Recruitment and Maturation by Responsive Nanogels for Targeting Pancreatic Cancer Immunotherapy

    Researchers used tumor microenvironment responsive nanogels with tumor-targeting capability by Panc02 cell membranes coating and inhibition of tumor-derived prostaglandin E2, aimed at improving natural killer cells activation, and inducing activated NK cells-dependent dendritic cells recruitment.

    Abstract

    Immune Checkpoint Blockade Enhances Chemophototherapy in a Syngeneic Pancreatic Tumor Model

    Investigators showed that in the syngeneic subcutaneous KPC Pancreatic cancer tumor model, exhausted CD8+ T cells were localized in the tumor, and that chemophototherapy is enhanced in combination with immune checkpoint blockade.

    The Proprotein Convertase Furin Regulates the Development of Thymic Epithelial Cells To Ensure Central Immune Tolerance

    Researchers found that Furin, a member of the subtilisin/kexin-like PCs family, was highly expressed in thymic epithelial cells compared with other members of this family.
