| The authors showed that antigen-specific avoidance behavior in inbred mice was critically dependent on mast cells; hence, the authors identified the immunological sensor cell linking antigen recognition to avoidance behavior. [Nature] |

| Scientists used the minimal gene regulatory network of type 1 conventional dendritic cells to reprogram cancer cells into professional antigen-presenting cells. [Science Immunology] |

|
| Upon subcutaneous injection, nanomedicine-in-hydrogel prolonged lymph node retention of the cGAS inhibitor RU.521 and cell free DNA (cfDNA)-scavenging cationic nanoparticles, which pharmacologically inhibit cGAS and scavenged cfDNA, respectively, to inhibit proinflammation. [Advanced Science] |

|
| Mechanistically, Cathepsin W inhibited IL-2R signaling in peripheral Treg cells by cytosolic interaction with and process of CD25, repressing signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 activation to restrain peipheral Treg cell generation and maintenance. [Science Advances] |

|
| Selective depletion of Tregs showed that Tregs are protective against alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, suggesting that failure of Treg-mediated immunosuppression is not a major disease mechanism in alopecia areata.

|
| T cell receptors (TCR) form spatiotemporally dynamic clusters to mediate robust yet temporal signaling to induce adaptive immune responses. The authors identified a phase separation mechanism controlling dynamic TCR clustering and signaling. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |

|
| Investigators studied the effect of human Thymosin-alpha-1 treatment on the immune system in population groups with different thymic function levels in the scenario of SARS-CoV2 infection. [Immunity & Ageing] |

|
| Treatment with low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) preserved Tregs, as measured by stable methylation of FOXP3 Treg-specific demethylation region and increased proportions of CD4+FOXP3+ Tregs identified by flow cytometry. [JCI Insight] |
|

|
| As part of the ONE Study consortium, scientists conducted a phase I-II clinical trial in which purified donor antigen reactive-Tregs were administered to three patients, 7 to 11 days after live donor renal transplant. [American Journal Of Transplantation] |

| The authors review the factors affecting neuroinflammation and the major inflammatory signaling pathways involved in the pathogenicity of neurodegenerative diseases. [Signal Transduction And Targeted Therapy] |

|
| The function of cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA+) T cells corresponds with the role of T cells belonging to the skin-associated lymphoid tissue and could be a reason why they reflect different mechanisms of atopic dermatitis and many other T cell mediated skin diseases. [Allergy] |

| Having paid $300 million to enter the TIGIT space by acquiring ociperlimab in 2021, Novartis is now handing the candidate back to BeiGene. [Fierce Biotech] |
