    Germinal Center Output Is Sustained by HELLS-Dependent DNA-Methylation-Maintenance in B Cells

    Investigators showed by a newly generated B cell-specific Hells conditional knockout mouse model that HELLS (Helicase, Lymphoid Specific) played a pivotal role in T-dependent B cell responses.

    Antigen-Presenting Autoreactive B Cells Activate Regulatory T Cells and Suppress Autoimmune Arthritis in Mice

    Using unique tetramers, scientists traced natural autoreactive B cells specific for a defined triple-helical epitope on collagen type-II, constituting a sizeable fraction of the physiological B cell repertoire in mice, rats, and humans.

    Abstract

    The Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor Rin-Like Controls Tfh Cell Differentiation via CD28 Signaling

    Loss of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Rin-like led to an increase of Tfh in aging, upon in vivo immunization and acute LCMV Armstrong infection in mice, and in human CD4+ T cell in vitro cultures.

    Abstract

    Single-Cell Immune Profiling of Mouse Liver Aging Reveals Cxcl2+ Macrophages Recruit Neutrophils to Aggravate Liver Injury

    Nine subsets of 89,542 immune cells with unique properties were identified, of which Cxcl2+ macrophages within the monocyte/macrophage subset were preferentially enriched in the aged liver.

    Sterile Triggers Drive Joint Inflammation in TNF- and IL-1β-Dependent Mouse Arthritis Models

    Using two independent transgenic mouse arthritis models, either TNF- or IL-1β dependent, investigators demonstrated that arthritis developed independently of the microbiota and intestinal inflammation.

    Slan+ Monocytes Kill Cancer Cells Coated in Therapeutic Antibody by Trogoptosis

    Scientists showed that, after coculture with target cells coated with anti-CD20 or anti-CD38, slan+ monocytes mediated trogocytosis, a cell–cell contact dependent, antibody-mediated process that triggers an active, mechanic disruption of target cell membranes.

    Treg-Targeted IL-2/Anti-IL-2 Complex Controls Graft-Versus-Host Disease and Supports Anti-Tumor Effect in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

    In dedicated experimental models of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, researchers evaluated side-by-side the therapeutic effect of two IL-2/anti-IL-2 complexes designed either to boost Tregs, or alternatively to activate effector T cells Teffs, on GVHD occurrence and tumor relapse.
