Protein crystallization is a rare event yet Ym1 crystals made from a chitinase-like protein are abundantly found in eosinophilic airway inflammation, where they promote type 2 immunity.

Comparing the white-footed deermouse with mice and rats in an inflammation model reveals a means for the observed infection tolerance in this key animal reservoir for several human diseases.

Immune activation in Drosophila macrophages during oxidative stress is regulated by DNA damage signaling, which controls proinflammatory cytokine release and the susceptibility of the fly to oxidative stress.

Signaling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in enterocytes impacts barrier integrity in the Drosophila intestine by regulating formation of the peritrophic matrix.

A single microRNA-binding site in a long non-coding RNA alters T cell responses in vivo by 'sponging' the miRNA to inhibit its gene regulatory function.

Analysis of conventional and gnotobiotic mice showed that a MHC-E-restricted unconventional CD8 T cell population is retained in the small intestine epithelium by a commensal bacterium.

A biochemical probe targeting Tregs shows the importance of Tregs for B cell homeostasis and peripheral B cell reduction is caused by an activated T-cell-dependent mechanism.

After an injury to the skin, murine wounds upregulate apoptosis and efferocytosis pathways, which are required for effective healing and may similarly impact wound healing in diabetic patients.

HDAC3 regulates the development of pDCs and maintenance of homeostasis of hematopoietic progenitors with dendritic cell (DC) differentiation potential, mechanistically by repressing cDC1 associated genes in a deacetylase-dependent manner.
