| By cotargeting myeloid activation molecules, scientists leveraged the myeloid compartment as a therapeutic vulnerability in mouse models of pancreatic cancer. [Science Immunology] |

|
| Investigators showed positive correlations between serum levels of Ca10, tumor size, and the generation of splenic Tregs in mice bearing solid Ehrlich’s tumor. [Cellular & Molecular Immunology] |
|
|
|
| The authors identified, by high-content screening, SEPTIN2 as a negative regulation of interferon-gamma-independent macrophage autoactivation. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers utilized cryo-electron tomography to examine the nuclei of mouse neutrophils, revealing the cytoplasmic enrichment of intermediate filaments on the concave regions of the nuclear envelope. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |
|
|
|
| Investigators described T cell selection, activation, and T cell repertoire diversity in female mice deficient for B lymphocyte–induced maturation protein-1 in dendritic cells. These mice exhibited a lupus-like phenotype with an expanded population of T follicular helper cells. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used the Bcl-2 family inhibitor ABT-263 to investigate the effects of pre-vaccination senolysis on immune responses in old mice. Two different ovalbumin-containing vaccines were tested. [Aging Cell] |
|
|
|
| By performing RNA sequencing to compare the gene expression profiles between Huntington’s disease (HD) knockin pigs and mice, researchers found that genes related to interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling were upregulated in the HD pig brains compared to the mouse brains. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that T-cell-specific Rip1 KO mice showed age-related T cell changes and exhibited signs of accelerated aging-like phenotypes, including inflammation, multiple age-related diseases, and a shorter lifespan. [EMBO Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated that isoaspartyl modifications arise within the ZAP70 protein tyrosine kinase upon T cell antigen receptor engagement. The enzyme protein L-isoaspartate O-methyltransferase evolved to repair isoaspartyl modifications in cells. [Autoimmunity] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists provide a comprehensive review of immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy X-linked syndrome with a specific focus on mechanistic findings, and implications for diagnostics and treatments, details of which may be highly relevant to other primary immune regulatory diseases. [Immunological Reviews] |
|
|
|
|
| Another big success for the University of Bonn in securing grants from the European Research Council (ERC), with three researchers receiving an ERC Consolidator Grant: Drs. Jan Hasenauer, Florian I. Schmidt, and Evgeny Shinder. [University of Bonn] |
