| The authors identified the SNF2-family DNA translocase SMARCAL1 as a factor that favored tumor immune evasion by a dual mechanism involving both the suppression of innate immune signaling and the induction of PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint responses. [Cell] |

|
| Researchers found that inhibitor of DNA binding protein 2 (Id2) transcriptionally and epigenetically regulated the generation of Slamf6+ progenitor exhausted T cells and their conversion to Tim-3+ terminally exhausted cells. [Science Immunology] |

|
|
| Investigators reported that a sulfated bile acid, cholic acid 7-sulfate, bound to the nonclassical MHC class I protein MR1 and was recognized by mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. [Science Immunology] |

|
| Scientists dissected heterologous donor-reactive memory CD8 T cell proliferation and their effector functions following infiltration into heart allografts having low or high intensities of ischemic inflammation. [Journal Of Clinical Investigation] |

|
| The authors generated α-thalassemia retardation X-linked (ATRX)-deficient glioma models in the presence and absence of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1)R132H mutation. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Scientists used photoconvertible mice to precisely track dendritic cell (DC) migration.They reported that CCR7+ DCs were the dominant DC population that migrated to the draining lymph node. [Nature Communications] |

|
| In vivo ablation of Kidins220 in B cells resulted in a marked reduction of λ light chain-expressing B cells, and Kidins220 knockout B cells failed to open and recombine the genes of the Igl locus, even in genetic scenarios where the Igk genes could not be rearranged or where the κLC conferred autoreactivity.

|
|
| Scientists showed that the N-linked glycosylation at residue 105 in the first immunoglobulin-like domain of CD155 was involved in the binding of CD155 to both DNAM-1 and tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain. [International Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that loss of one of the most highly expressed deubiquitylating enzymes, Otub1, resulted in changes in murine splenic B cell subsets, leading to a significant increase in marginal zone and transitional B cells and a concomitant decrease in follicular B cells.

|
| The authors summarize current clinical trials of antitumor NK cell therapy, provide an overview of innovative strategies for reprogramming NK cells, and also discuss some potential combination therapies. [Molecular Therapy] |

| Sanofi is paying $40 million to add another cytokine—IL-10—to its hit list. This has secured Sanofi the chance to work with Synthekine to overcome long-standing barriers to the use of the cytokine in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. [Fierce Biotech] |
