| The authors showed that agonists of α2-adrenergic receptors (α2-AR) had very strong anti-tumor activity when used as monotherapies in multiple immunocompetent tumor models, including immunecheckpoint blockade-resistant models, but not in immunodeficient models. [Nature] |

|
| To better understand transcriptional regulation of T helper 2 cell differentiation, researchers performed CRISPR-Cas9 screens targeting 1,131 transcription factors. They discovered that activity-dependent neuroprotector homeobox protein was indispensable for immune reactions to allergen. [Immunity] |
|
|
|
| Through single cell transcriptomics, investigators identified a population of tumor-associated macrophages that expressed a unique array of pro-tumorigenic senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors and surface proteins and were also present in normal aged lungs. [Cancer Cell] |
|
|
|
| Researchers established an unbiased blood-innate immunity multiomic and genetic loss-of-function pipeline to define the transcriptome and global phosphoproteome of blood-induced innate immune polarization and its role in microglia neurotoxicity. [Nature Immunology] |
|
|
|
| The presence of concomitant colon tumors improved control of liver lesions by anti–PD-L1 proof-of-concept immunotherapy and generated protective immune memory, whereas partial depletion of α4β7+ cells abrogated control of metastases. [Science Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Growth hormone releasing hormone receptor activated the JAK-STAT3 pathway, increased the phosphorylation of STAT3, enhanced both non-pathogenic and pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation, and promoted the gene expression signatures of pathogenic Th17 cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to elucidate the function and potential mechanisms of small extracellular vesicle microRNAs that contributed to the development of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. [BMC Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that interleukin-3 (IL-3)-deficient mice were more susceptible and exhibited increased intestinal inflammation during the early stage of experimental colitis. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Mechanistically, Altre interacted with Yin Yang 1 to orchestrate its occupation on chromatin, thereby regulating the expression of a group of mitochondrial genes, and maintaining optimal mitochondrial function and Treg fitness in the liver of aged mice. [Nature Aging] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss inflammaging at the molecular, cellular, organ, and disease levels, and review current aging models, the implications of cutting-edge single cell technologies, as well as anti-aging strategies. [Signal Transduction And Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the newer concepts of regulation of monocyte homeostasis and function by gut microbial signals during steady state and inflammation, and highlight the therapeutic potential of microbial signal-based approaches for modulation in the context of various diseases.

|
| Under the terms of the agreement, Quell’s proprietary toolbox of Treg cell engineering modules, including its Foxp3 Phenotype Lock, will be leveraged to develop autologous multi-modular Treg cell therapy candidates for Type 1 Diabetes and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. [Quell Therapeutics Ltd.] |
