    T-cell co-stimulation in combination with targeting FAK drives enhanced anti-tumor immunity

    Marta Canel, David Taggart ... Alan Serrels
    Cancer cell expression of the T-cell co-stimulatory molecule CD80, or treatment with agonistic antibodies targeting the T-cell co-stimulatory receptors OX-40 or 4-1BB, enhances the anti-tumor activity of FAK inhibition.

    Identification of a super-functional Tfh-like subpopulation in murine lupus by pattern perception

    Stefanie Gryzik, Yen Hoang ... Ria Baumgrass
    A novel binning approach provides evidence for super-functional T cells with high activation potential and which exhibit Tfh-like functionalities and can help B cells.

    From plasmodesma geometry to effective symplasmic permeability through biophysical modelling

    Eva E Deinum, Bela M Mulder, Yoselin Benitez-Alfonso
    A new biophysical model enables the reconciliation of ultrastructural and tissue level measurements on parameters affecting intercellular communication, and provides novel functional insight into experimental findings.

    Recombinant single-cycle influenza virus with exchangeable pseudotypes allows repeated immunization to augment anti-tumour immunity with immune checkpoint inhibitors

    Matheswaran Kandasamy, Uzi Gileadi ... Vincenzo Cerundolo
    Immunization with NY-ESO-1 S-FLU virus elicits a robust NY-ESO-1-specific CTL response and suppresses the NY-ESO-1-expressing tumour development and spontaneous metastasis.

    Cryptic genetic variation shapes the adaptive evolutionary potential of enzymes

    Florian Baier, Nansook Hong ... Nobuhiko Tokuriki
    Genetic change among enzyme orthologous with similar phenotypic properties can cause substantial differences in evolutionary response to a new enzyme function in terms of their molecular and fitness outcomes.

    A population of innate myelolymphoblastoid effector cell expanded by inactivation of mTOR complex 1 in mice

    Fei Tang, Peng Zhang ... Pan Zheng
    A novel population of hematopoietic cells unmasked by mTORC1 inactivation reveals a new mechanism of innate immune tolerance and a new consequence of defective hematopoiesis.

    Repressing PTBP1 fails to convert reactive astrocytes to dopaminergic neurons in a 6-hydroxydopamine mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

    Weizhao Chen, Qiongping Zheng ... Mingtao Li
    Repressing astroglial PTBP1 by shRNA or antisense oligonucleotide fails to convert astrocyte to neuron including dopaminergic neuron in a 6-OHDA mouse model of PD.

    Therapeutic deep brain stimulation disrupts movement-related subthalamic nucleus activity in parkinsonian mice

    Jonathan S Schor, Isabelle Gonzalez Montalvo ... Alexandra B Nelson
    In a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus disrupts movement-related neural activity in parallel with relieving motor symptoms.

    Complementary CRISPR screen highlights the contrasting role of membrane-bound and soluble ICAM-1 in regulating antigen-specific tumor cell killing by cytotoxic T cells

    Ann-Kathrin Herzfeldt, Marta Puig Gamez ... Lee Kim Swee
    Loss of membrane-bound ICAM-1, overexpression of soluble ICAM-1 or ILKAP activity in tumor cells induce resistance to antigen-specific cytotoxic T-cell-mediated killing independently from regulating antigen presentation, PD-L1 expression, IFN-γ, or TNF-α responsiveness.
