Enigmatic long-lived plasma cells display an enhanced clustering in bone marrow niches and require CXCR4 for retention, survival, and maintenance of antibody titers.
The pseudokinase Tribbles1 is expressed in human monocytes after mycobacterial challenge and can be manipulated to be host protective against mycobacterial infection, due to control of innate immune cell function, in a zebrafish tuberculosis model.
Genetic engineering of murine myeloid cells reveals the challenges in ectopic expression of chemiric receptors and provides a novel framework to endow them with tumor-specific cytotoxic ability.
