    Notch-induced endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation governs mouse thymocyte β−selection

    Xia Liu, Jingjing Yu ... Xi Chen
    Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is a critical protein quality control checkpoint for thymocyte β-slection.

    RTN3 inhibits RIG-I-mediated antiviral responses by impairing TRIM25-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination

    Ziwei Yang, Jun Wang ... Ersheng Kuang
    RTN3 is upregulated upon RNA viral infection, in turn suppresses antiviral responses by impairing TRIM25-mediated RIG-I K63-linked polyubiquitination and decreases neutrophil populations and inflammatory infiltration, representing a novel inflammatory resolution.

    Pioneer neutrophils release chromatin within in vivo swarms

    Hannah M Isles, Catherine A Loynes ... Philip M Elks
    Neutrophil swarms form around a single endogenous pioneer neutrophil in vivo, mediated by DNA release from pioneer neutrophils.

    Inflammation drives alternative first exon usage to regulate immune genes including a novel iron-regulated isoform of Aim2

    Elektra K Robinson, Pratibha Jagannatha ... Susan Carpenter
    Alternative first exon usage was the major event observed in macrophages during inflammation, which resulted in the elucidation of a novel isoform and regulatory mechanism of the protein-coding gene, Aim2.

    Method development and characterisation of the low-molecular-weight peptidome of human wound fluids

    Mariena JA van der Plas, Jun Cai ... Artur Schmidtchen
    Peptidomics method development and analysis of qualitative differences of peptide patterns in human wound fluids provide potential biomarkers for wound healing and infection.

    Soluble Fas ligand drives autoantibody-induced arthritis by binding to DR5/TRAIL-R2

    Dongjin Jeong, Hye Sung Kim ... Doo Hyun Chung
    Soluble Fas ligand interacts specifically with tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF)10B, also known as death receptor 5, exacerbating arthritis in a Fas-independent manner.

    Role of the transcriptional regulator SP140 in resistance to bacterial infections via repression of type I interferons

    Daisy X Ji, Kristen C Witt ... Russell E Vance
    Repression of type I interferons by SP140 is essential for resistance to Legionella pneumophila and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

    Genetic variant in 3’ untranslated region of the mouse pycard gene regulates inflammasome activity

    Brian Ritchey, Qimin Hai ... Jonathan D Smith
    A new mode of inflammasome regulation was discovered through a mouse strain intercross that identified the Pycard locus was associated with IL-1β release, and gene editing showed this was due to an SNP in the Pycard mRNA regulating its turnover.

    Ketogenic diet restrains aging-induced exacerbation of coronavirus infection in mice

    Seungjin Ryu, Irina Shchukina ... Vishwa Deep Dixit
    Ketogenic diet protects against coronavirus-infected aged mice, which, like humans, are significantly more susceptible to infections, by deactivating NLRP3 inflammasome, reducing pathogenic monotypes, and expanding γδ T cells in the lung.

    Developing a multivariate prediction model of antibody features associated with protection of malaria-infected pregnant women from placental malaria

    Elizabeth H Aitken, Timon Damelang ... Stephen J Rogerson
    Machine learning identified six protective antibody features and showed for the first time that serological markers can predict protection from placental-malaria, which is important for evaluation and development of vaccines.
