    A crosstalk between hepcidin and IRE/IRP pathways controls ferroportin expression and determines serum iron levels in mice

    Edouard Charlebois, Carine Fillebeen ... Kostas Pantopoulos
    Under systemic iron overload, translational derepression of ferroportin mRNA via the IRE/IRP system antagonizes hepcidin-mediated ferroportin degradation to coordinately control serum iron.

    Mechanism of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) revealed by targeted removal of legacy bisphosphonate from jawbone using competing inert hydroxymethylene diphosphonate

    Hiroko Okawa, Takeru Kondo ... Ichiro Nishimura
    The targeted removal of legacy bisphosphonate from the jawbone by competitive equilibrium therapy not only elucidated the pathological mechanism of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) but also established a highly translatable therapeutic option for BRONJ.

    Transient cell-in-cell formation underlies tumor relapse and resistance to immunotherapy

    Amit Gutwillig, Nadine Santana-Magal ... Yaron Carmi
    Tumors escape killing by the immune system through generating transient spatial cell-in-cell structures that are impenetrable to cytotoxic compounds including lytic granules and chemotherapy.

    A mosaic-type trimeric RBD-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate induces potent neutralization against Omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants

    Jing Zhang, Zi Bo Han ... Qi Ming Li
    Animal experiments show that the mosaic-type immunogen integrating key mutations from Omicron and other circulating variants elicits broad neutralization against divergent SARS-CoV-2 strains.

    Dendritic cell Piezo1 directs the differentiation of TH1 and Treg cells in cancer

    Yuexin Wang, Hui Yang ... Guangwei Liu
    Detailed in vivo and in vitro experimental data in mice and human cell experimental data provide critical insight for understanding the role of the DC-based mechanical regulation of immunopathology in directing T cell lineage commitment in tumor microenvironments.

    Epigenetic remodeling by vitamin C potentiates plasma cell differentiation

    Heng-Yi Chen, Ana Almonte-Loya ... Chan-Wang Jerry Lio
    Vitamin C supports the differentiation of antibody-secreting cells by remodeling the DNA methylome to enhance STAT3 DNA binding.

    Tissue-specific modifier alleles determine Mertk loss-of-function traits

    Yemsratch T Akalu, Maria E Mercau ... Sourav Ghosh
    Current understanding of Mertk biology, such as in retinal degeneration and tumor immunity, is redefined by gene knockout in C57BL/6 mice.

    Soluble MAC is primarily released from MAC-resistant bacteria that potently convert complement component C5

    Dennis J Doorduijn, Marie V Lukassen ... Suzan HM Rooijakkers
    Bacteria that resist direct complement-mediated killing by pores can still potently activate the complement system and trigger release of incomplete pores into human serum.
