NADPH Oxidase Exerts a B Cell–Intrinsic Contribution to Lupus Risk by Modulating Endosomal TLR Signals
[Journal of Experimental Medicine] Investigators describe a parallel B cell–intrinsic mechanism contributing to breaks in tolerance. NOX2-deficient B cells exhibited enhanced signaling downstream of endosomal Toll-like receptors, increased humoral responses to nucleic acid-containing antigens, and the propensity toward humoral autoimmunity.

B Cell Depletion with Anti-CD20 Promotes Neuroprotection in a BAFF-Dependent Manner in Mice and Humans
[Science Translational Medicine] Scientists found that anti-CD20 treatment effectively spared myelin content and prevented myeloid cell activation, oxidative damage, and mitochondrial stress in the subpial gray matter.

Immunocytokines with Target Cell–Restricted IL-15 Activity for Treatment of B Cell Malignancies
[Science Translational Medicine] Investigators reported modified immunocytokines consisting of Fc-optimized CD19 and CD20 antibodies fused to an IL-15 moiety comprising an L45E-E46K double mutation.

Single-Cell Guided Prenatal Derivation of Primary Fetal Epithelial Organoids from Human Amniotic and Tracheal Fluids
[Nature Medicine] Using single-cell analysis, scientists characterized the cellular identities present in human amniotic fluid. They identified and isolated viable epithelial stem/progenitor cells of fetal gastrointestinal, renal, and pulmonary origin.
