Reactive endothelial venules are a new vessel subtype characterized by consistent expression of cell adhesion molecules, preferential leukocyte transmigration, association with perivascular macrophages, and the initiation of CNS immune responses.

Immune markers measured at the early stage of COVID-19 infection are associated with various clinical outcomes and can be used to predict disease progression, T cell memory, viral shedding, and the antibody response of the COVID-19 patients.

Deficiency of the transcriptional repressor, Bach2, results in more mature mouse natural killer cells.

Lung interstitial macrophages are strategically positioned underneath the bronchial airway epithelium and enriched at airway bifurcations for immunosurveillance of the conducting airway lumen and the initiation of adaptive immune responses.

Type 2 cytokines induce macrophage innate training, where enhanced pro-inflammatory responses are fuelled by oxidative phosphorylation rather than aerobic glycolysis.

Reticulon 1A plays a central role not only in cytoskeletal remodeling of resident Langerhans cells but also in their clustering upon Toll-like receptor activation in human skin, suggesting an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis.

A horizontally shared type VI secretion system affects the interaction between vibrios and eukaryotic hosts.

A light-controllable ligand is used to probe where in the signaling cascade T cells discriminate self from non-self.

High degree of clonal persistence and excess of inter-individual convergence are observed in human memory B cell repertoires, along with signatures of both negative and positive selection in most abundant clonal lineages.

LPS pre-exposure is tissue protective during a subsequent lethal E. coli peritonitis by long-term modulation the bone marrow B-cell and neutrophil pool which affects neutrophil tissue damaging properties and therapeutic activation of Cxcr4 promotes tissue damage control during sepsis.
