    Polymorphisms in intron 1 of HLA-DRA differentially associate with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease and implicate involvement of complement system genes C4A and C4B

    Ozkan Aydemir, Jeffrey A Bailey ... TEDDY Study Group
    HLA-DRA intronic haplotype associates with opposite effects on type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, refining genetic risk prediction and implicating complement genes C4A and C4B in divergent autoimmune pathways.

    Microglia replacement by ER-Hoxb8 conditionally immortalized macrophages provides insight into Aicardi–Goutières syndrome neuropathology

    Kelsey M Nemec, Genevieve Uy ... F Chris Bennett
    A microglia replacement approach demonstrates that brain macrophages with patient mutations from Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, a genetic, brain predominant interferonopathy, are sufficient to drive interferon responses.

    HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell proliferative response 24 weeks after early antiretroviral therapy initiation is associated with the subsequent reduction in the viral reservoir

    Pien Margien van Paassen, Alexander O Pasternak ... Godelieve J de Bree
    In individuals who started antiretroviral therapy during acute HIV infection, the proliferative capacity of HIV-specific CD8+ T-cells at 24 weeks of therapy predicted the subsequent reduction in the viral reservoir.

    Doubling dolutegravir dosage reduces the viral reservoir in ART-treated people with HIV

    Céline Fombellida-Lopez, Aurelija Valaitienė ... Gilles Darcis
    In a randomized trial, ART intensification by doubling the dolutegravir dosage in people with HIV stably suppressed on dolutegravir-based ART reduced levels of four HIV reservoir markers in peripheral blood.

    Western lifestyle linked to maladaptive trained immunity

    Aurelia Josephine Merbecks, Christabel Mennicken ... Eicke Latz
    Trained immunity enhances innate immune responses, yet a Western lifestyle may lead to maladaptive trained immunity and drive non-communicable diseases.

    Trained immunity in acute and chronic neurological diseases

    Sijia Zhang, Arthur Liesz
    Trained immunity provides a unifying framework linking innate immune memory to both protective and maladaptive inflammation across neurological diseases, offering new insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.

    Fish CDK2 recruits Dtx4 to degrade TBK1 through ubiquitination in the antiviral response

    Long-Feng Lu, Can Zhang ... Shun Li
    CDK2-mediated TBK1 degradation via Dtx4 represents a previously unrecognized regulatory mechanism that modulates antiviral immunity in fish.
