The invasion of Toxoplasma to the CNS across cortical capillaries is restricted by the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exacerbated by the inflammatory response.

Stain-free ‘imaging’ flow cytometry enables high-throughput cell classification and sorting based on machine-predicted labels.

Strong sustained IL-2 signal selective for CD25⁺ cells induces emergence of CD25⁺Foxp3^- T cells producing IFN-γ in various organs causing enormous increase in the sensitivity to LPS.

ORAI1 ion channel lipid modification is required for a proper immune synapse formation and T cell activation.

Human CRACR2A insufficiency underlies progressive loss of immune competence by uncoupling TCR activation from Ca2+ and MAPK signaling and should be included within the group of combined immunodeficiency disorders in the IEI classification.

A new protocol step improves robustness and ease-of-use for mass spectrometry in the clinic, opening the door to mass deployment to monitor infectious agents.

Cell-free DNA methylation markers allow monitoring of immune and inflammatory cell turnover.

Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy quantitatively correlates structural damages of serum albumin with COVID-19 severity and mortality thus suggesting albumin replacement therapy as a strategy to rescue patients at risk of mortality.

Single-cell analysis revealed that autoantigen-reactive B cells changed the type of cytokines they produced from anti-inflammatory IL-10 and IL-35 to pro-inflammatory IL-6 and IL-23 as affinity to autoantigen increased.

Histone deacetylase 3 is required for CD4+ T cells to downregulate two cholesterol efflux transport proteins, ABCA1 and ABCG1, for successful proliferation after antigenic stimulation.
