The absence of helminth parasites in developed countries may be exacerbating pathological, age-associated inflammation, known as inflammaging, suggesting that helminth therapies could provide protection against age-related disease.

ICOSL-dependent T-cell co-stimulation contributes to the host defense against herpesvirus infections, and accordingly, these pathogens have developed immune evasion mechanisms to interrupt the ICOSL:ICOS signaling pathway.

Investigation into methotrexate's effects in the vascular endothelium reveals it exerts anti-inflammatory effects through a unique adenosine-adenosine receptor A3-SMAD3/4-miR-181b signaling axis with implications for controlling vascular inflammation.

Rapid, label-free, volumetric, and automated assessment of the immunological synapse dynamics is demonstrated by combining optical diffraction tomography and deep-learning-based segmentation, providing a new option for immunological research.

A mouse-adapted strain of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus that recapitulates human disease in wild-type mice significantly improves our ability to study Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus pathogenesis.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing identifies the precise cellular and molecular events that occur along the sepsis timeline in the kidney, pointing to potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Longitudinal tracking of individual T-cell clones reveals the expansion of pre-existing T-cell memory in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Immunological analysis of wild-type and Crlf2^-/- mice reveals a role for the cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin on memory CD8⁺ T-cell responses to viral infection, findings with potential translational implications.

Long non-coding RNA profiles as a source of signal in sepsis.

Functional subsets of helper CD4+ T cells carry TCR repertoires with distinct features that are reproducible across donors and are partially acquired at the level of thymic selection.
