    Circulating Myeloid-Derived MMP8 in Stress Susceptibility and Depression

    Scientists showed that expression of a circulating myeloid cell-specific proteinase, matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8), was increased in the serum of humans with major depressive disorder as well as in stress-susceptible mice following chronic social defeat stress.

    Microbiota-Derived Butyrate Restricts Tuft Cell Differentiation via Histone Deacetylase 3 to Modulate Intestinal Type 2 Immunity

    Investigators examined the impact of the microbiota on tuft cell biology in the intestine. Succinate induction of tuft cells and type 2 innate lymphoid cells was elevated with loss of gut microbiota.

    Precise CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Repair in Autologous Memory T Cells to Treat Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

    The authors used an adeno-associated virus–based CRISPR-Cas9 system with an inhibitor of nonhomologous end joining to repair such mutations in potentially long-lived T cells ex vivo.

    Exercise Inhibits Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity via Regulating B Cells

    Mice that were administered with doxorubicin received treadmill running exercise. The adoptive transfer of exercise-derived splenic B cells to μMT−/− (B cell–deficient) mice was performed to elucidate the mechanism of B cell regulation that mediated the effect of exercise.

    Abstract

    Mitochondrial Protein C15ORF48 Is a Stress-Independent Inducer of Autophagy That Regulates Oxidative Stress and Autoimmunity

    Investigators reported that the mitochondrial protein, C15ORF48, was a critical inducer of stress-independent autophagy.

    Ultrahigh Frequencies of Peripherally Matured LGI1- and CASPR2-Reactive B Cells Characterize the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Autoimmune Encephalitis

    Scientists everaged two common forms of autoimmune encephalitis, mediated by leucine-rich glioma inactivated-1 (LGI1) and contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) antibodies, as human models to comprehensively reconstruct and profile cerebrospinal fluid B cell receptor characteristics.

    Abstract

    Immune Cell-Derived Signals Governing Epithelial Phenotypes in Homeostasis and Inflammation

    The intestinal epithelium fulfills important physiological functions and forms a physical barrier to the intestinal lumen. Barrier function is regulated by several pathways, and its impairment contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.

    US and China Likely to Delay Renewal of Key Science Pact Again

    China and the United States will once again probably delay the renewal of a decades-old pact to cooperate on science and technology. The two nations have been negotiating for the past six months, but need more time to settle new terms and conditions requested by both sides, sources tell Nature.
