    Quantitative Control of Ets1 Dosage by a Multi-Enhancer Hub Promotes Th1 Cell Differentiation and Protects from Allergic Inflammation

    Mathematical modeling identified a highly connected multi-enhancer hub at the Ets1 locus, comprising a noncoding regulatory element that was a hotspot for sequence variation associated with allergic disease in humans.

    Spatial Dysregulation of T Follicular Helper Cells Impairs Vaccine Responses in Aging

    Scientists showed that T follicular helper (TFH) cell localization was critical for the quality of the antibody response and for the expansion of the follicular dendritic cell network upon immunization.

    Monocyte-Derived IL-6 Programs Microglia to Rebuild Damaged Brain Vasculature

    Cerebrovascular repair did not occur in interluekin (IL)-6 knockouts or in mice lacking microglial IL-6Ra expression, and single-cell transcriptomic analyses revealed faulty repair-associated microglia programming in the absence of IL-6 signaling.

    Abstract

    PD-L1 Checkpoint Blockade Promotes Regulatory T Cell Activity That Underlies Therapy Resistance

    Researchers identified preferential activation and enhanced suppressive capacity of regulatory T cells in αPD-L1 therapy–resistant solid tumor–bearing mice.

    Divergent Metabolic Programmes Control Two Populations of MAIT Cells That Protect the Lung

    Following pulmonary immunization with a Salmonella vaccine strain, mouse MAIT cells expanded as separate CD127Klrg1+ and CD127+Klrg1 antigen-adapted populations that differed in terms of their transcriptome, function and localization in lung tissue.

    Steroid Receptor Coactivator 3 Is a Key Modulator of Regulatory T Cell–Mediated Tumor Evasion

    Using an aggressive E0771 mouse breast cell line syngeneic immune-intact murine model, scientists observed that breast tumors were “permanently eradicated” in a genetically engineered tamoxifen-inducible Treg-cell-specific SRC-3 knockout female mouse that did not possess a systemic autoimmune pathological phenotype.

    Ovol1/2 Loss-Induced Epidermal Defects Elicit Skin Immune Activation and Alter Global Metabolism

    Researchers demonstrated that inducible and simultaneous ablation of transcription factor-encoding Ovol1 and Ovol2 in adult epidermis results in barrier dysregulation through impacting epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity and inflammatory gene expression.
