    Maternal Diet Modulates the Infant Microbiome and Intestinal Flt3L Necessary for Dendritic Cell Development and Immunity to Respiratory Infection

    Scientists demonstrated that in mice a maternal low-fiber diet led to enhanced lower respiratory infection severity in infants, because of delayed plasmacytoid dendritic cell recruitment and perturbation of regulatory T cell expansion in the lungs.

    A T Follicular Helper Cell Origin for T Regulatory Type 1 Cells

    The peptide-major histocompatibility complex class II (pMHCII) monospecific immunoregulatory T-cell pools that arose in vivo in different genetic backgrounds in response to pMHCII-coated nanoparticles were invariably comprised of oligoclonal subpools of T follicular helper and T regulatory type 1 cells.

    Long Noncoding RNA HITT Coordinates with RGS2 to Inhibit PD-L1 Translation in T Cell Immunity

    Investigators discovered that HIF-1α inhibitor at translation level (HITT), was transactivated by E2F1 under interferon-γ stimulation, and showed that HITT expression enhanced T cell-mediated cytotoxicity both in vitro and in vivo in a programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) dependent manner.

    Human Hypoimmune Primary Pancreatic Islets Avoid Rejection and Autoimmunity and Alleviate Diabetes in Allogeneic Humanized Mice

    Researchers reported the editing of primary human islet cells to the hypoimmune HLA class I– and class II–negative and CD47-overexpressing phenotype, and their reaggregation into human HIP pseudoislets.

    Cloaking Mesoporous Polydopamine with Bacterial Membrane Vesicles to Amplify Local and Systemic Antitumor Immunity

    The authors leveraged the biocompatibility and immune activation capacity of Salmonella strain VNP20009 to produce double-layered membrane vesicles for enhanced systemic safety and antitumor immunity.

    MAIT Cell Inhibition Promotes Liver Fibrosis Regression via Macrophage Phenotype Reprogramming

    Mechanistic studies combining RNA sequencing, in vivo functional studies, and co-culture experiments were used to understand how the disruption of the mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell-monocyte/macrophage interaction resulted in resolution of fibrosis.

    Monocyte Depletion Enhances Neutrophil Influx and Proneural to Mesenchymal Transition in Glioblastoma

    Investigators used CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing to generate a mouse model that was deficient of all monocyte chemoattractant proteins, and used this strain to effectively abolish monocyte infiltration in genetically engineered murine models of de novo glioblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma.

    TIGIT Mediates Activation-Induced Cell Death of ILC2s during Chronic Airway Allergy

    Chronic allergy stably induced T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobin G and ITIM domains (TIGIT)+group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which were highly activated, apoptotic, and were quickly removed from sites of chronic allergy.

    IgG:FcγRIIb Signals Block Effector Programs of IgE:FcεRI-Activated Mast Cells but Spare Survival Pathways

    RNA sequencing was performed on bone marrow-derived mast cells from wildtype and FcγRIIb-deficient mice to identify genes activated following immunoglobulin E receptor crosslinking that were further modulated in the presence antigen-specific immunoglobin G (IgG) in an FcγRIIb-dependent fashion.

    Dysregulated Brain Regulatory T-Cells Fail to Control Reactive Gliosis following Repeated Antigen Stimulation

    Investigators showed that Tregs were recruited into murine brains following prime-central nervous system boost, but displayed altered phenotypes following repeated Ag-challenge.
