    TOP STORY

    Mast Cells Link Immune Sensing to Antigen-Avoidance Behavior

    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.

    Targeting Lymph Nodes for Systemic Immunosuppression Using Cell-Free-DNA-Scavenging And cGAS-Inhibiting Nanomedicine-In-Hydrogel for Rheumatoid Arthritis Immunotherapy

    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.

    Cathepsin W Restrains Peripheral Regulatory T Cells for Mucosal Immune Quiescence

    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.

    Functional Interrogation of Lymphocyte Subsets in Alopecia Areata Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing

    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.

    Abstract

    Self-Programmed Dynamics of T Cell Receptor Condensation

    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.

    Abstract

    The Use of Alpha 1 Thymosin as an Immunomodulator of the Response Against SARS-Cov2

    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.

    Responders to Low-Dose ATG Induce CD4 T Cell Exhaustion in Type 1 Diabetes

    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.

    Donor Antigen-Specific Regulatory T Cell Administration to Recipients of Live Donor Kidneys: A ONE Study Consortium Pilot Trial

    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.

    CLA+ Memory T Cells in Atopic Dermatitis

    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.
