    TOP STORY

    The β1-Adrenergic Receptor Links Sympathetic Nerves to T Cell Exhaustion

    The authors showed a new link between the stress-associated catecholamines and the progression of T cell exhaustion through the β1-adrenergic receptor ADRB1.

    Reductive Carboxylation Epigenetically Instructs T Cell Differentiation

    Investigators showed that proliferating effector CD8+ T cells reductively carboxylated glutamine through the mitochondrial enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 2.

    Tumor Microenvironment-Responsive Nanoparticles Amplifying STING Signaling Pathway for Cancer Immunotherapy

    Scientists exploited tumor microenvironment-responsive nanoparticles that simultaneously harnessed STING and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to augment STING activation via TLR4-mediated nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway stimulation.

    Abstract

    Bone Marrow Immune Cells Respond to Fluctuating Nutritional Stress to Constrain Weight Regain

    The authors identified a stem cell-like CD7+ monocyte subpopulation accumulating in the bone marrow of mice and humans that experienced dieting-induced weight loss.
    [Cell Metabolism]

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Lung Tumor–Infiltrating Treg Have Divergent Transcriptional Profiles and Function Linked to Checkpoint Blockade Response

    Researchers identified 10 subsets of human tumor-infiltrating-Treg, most of which had high concordance with murine tumor-infiltrating-Treg subsets.

    Abstract

    Defining a TCF1-Expressing Progenitor Allogeneic CD8+ T Cell Subset in Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

    Scientists identified a distinct subset of T cell factor-1 (TCF1)+ CD8+ T cells in mouse allogeneic and xenogeneic transplant models of acute graft-versus-host disease.

    Targeting PRMT1 Prevents Acute and Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease

    The prophylactic use of a protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) inhibitor significantly prevented chronic graft-versus-host disease in mice by reducing the percentage of Th17 cells, germinal center B cells, and plasma cells.

    Light-Inducible T Cell Engagers Trigger, Tune, and Shape the Activation of Primary T Cells

    Investigators established that CD4+ T cells responded to intermittent T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation more efficiently than their CD8+ T cells counterparts and provided evidence that distinct sequences of TCR stimulation encoded different cytokine programs.

    Hematopoietic Cell-Derived IL-15 Supports NK Cell Development in Scattered and Clustered Localization within the Bone Marrow

    Using cell-specific IL-15-deficient mice, researchers showed that hematopoietic cells, but not stromal cells, supported natural killer (NK) cell development in the bone marrow through IL-15.
