    PTPN22 R620W gene editing in T cells enhances low-avidity TCR responses

    Warren Anderson, Fariba Barahmand-pour-Whitman ... David J Rawlings
    Gene editing to generate precisely matched primary human T cell populations demonstrates that the common autoimmune risk allele in the tyrosine phosphatase, PTPN22, promotes signaling in cells expressing a low-avidity, self-reactive TCR specific for a diabetes-associated self-antigen.

    Inhibition of SHP-1 activity by PKC-θ regulates NK cell activation threshold and cytotoxicity

    Aviad Ben-Shmuel, Batel Sabag ... Mira Barda-Saad
    Phosphorylation of the phosphatase SHP-1 by PKC-θ in natural killer (NK) cells induces SHP-1 inhibition, revealing a novel molecular pathway that sustains NK cell activation threshold.

    A helminth-derived suppressor of ST2 blocks allergic responses

    Francesco Vacca, Caroline Chauché ... Henry J McSorley
    HpBARI is a protein secreted by a parasitic helminth, which binds to and blocks the IL-33 receptor, suppressing IL-33-dependent type 2 immune responses.

    Peripheral natural killer cells in chronic hepatitis B patients display multiple molecular features of T cell exhaustion

    Marie Marotel, Marine Villard ... Antoine Marçais
    Similar to T cell exhaustion, natural killer cell dysfunction in chronic hepatitis B patients results from deregulated calcium pathway.

    Incomplete inhibition of HIV infection results in more HIV infected lymph node cells by reducing cell death

    Laurelle Jackson, Jessica Hunter ... Alex Sigal
    Under conditions where the force of HIV infection per cell is high, partial attenuation of infection with inhibitors can increase the number of live infected cells and may paradoxically be beneficial for viral spread.

    A novel MARV glycoprotein-specific antibody with potentials of broad-spectrum neutralization to filovirus

    Yuting Zhang, Min Zhang ... Guojiang Chen
    A novel antibody recognizing receptor-binding region of MARV glycoprotein was developed and displays broad-spectrum neutralizing activity to filovirus species when NPC2 was fused to the N-terminus of the mAb.

    NAD+ prevents septic shock-induced death by non-canonical inflammasome blockade and IL-10 cytokine production in macrophages

    Jasper Iske, Rachid El Fatimy ... Abdallah Elkhal
    NAD+ exhibits profound therapeutic effects in experimental septic shock models by dampening the systemic inflammatory response and leading to improved survival.

    Infection with a newly designed dual fluorescent reporter HIV-1 effectively identifies latently infected CD4+ T cells

    Jinfeng Cai, Hongbo Gao ... Kai Deng
    A novel reporter model system serves as a valuable tool for studying latent HIV-1 infection and identifies potent latency reversing agent.

    Competitive binding of STATs to receptor phospho-Tyr motifs accounts for altered cytokine responses

    Stephan Wilmes, Polly-Anne Jeffrey ... Ignacio Moraga
    IL-27 exerts differential activation of STAT1 and STAT3 via IL-27Ra and GP130, respectively, leading to a kinetic decoupling of its gene expression program, which contributes to tune its immuno-modulatory activities.

    Whole-genome sequencing analysis of semi-supercentenarians

    Paolo Garagnani, Julien Marquis ... Claudio Franceschi
    Genetic variants located in DNA repair genes and a reduced burden of somatic mutations protect the oldest living persons from age-related diseases, allowing an healthy aging phenotype.
