    Circulating T cell-monocyte complexes are markers of immune perturbations

    Julie G Burel, Mikhail Pomaznoy ... Bjoern Peters
    Human blood contains T cell-monocyte complexes which are not technical artefacts but reflect true in vivo immune cell interactions.

    Arp2/3 complex-driven spatial patterning of the BCR enhances immune synapse formation, BCR signaling and B cell activation

    Madison Bolger-Munro, Kate Choi ... Michael R Gold
    Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin polymerization shapes how B lymphocytes probe the surface of antigen-presenting cells, promotes coalescence of B cell receptor (BCR) microclusters, amplifies BCR signaling, and enhances B cell activation.

    Cas9+ conditionally-immortalized macrophages as a tool for bacterial pathogenesis and beyond

    Allison W Roberts, Lauren M Popov ... Jeffery S Cox
    Combination of stem cell engineering and CRISPR technologies created a facile method to genetically manipulate macrophages, a multifunctional cell type that plays critical roles in immunity, cancer, and tissue homeostasis.

    Synergy between serum amyloid A and secretory phospholipase A2

    Shobini Jayaraman, Marcus Fändrich, Olga Gursky
    SAA removes toxic products of lipolysis of the cell membrane by sPLA2, indicating that SAA and sPLA2 act synergistically to clear debris from injured sites, as required for tissue healing.

    Identification of potential biomarkers of vaccine inflammation in mice

    Paul F McKay, Deniz Cizmeci ... Robin J Shattock
    Molecular biosignatures that identify an inflammatory and potentially adverse reaction to vaccination have been defined in mice, a critical gatekeeper for progression of novel vaccine candidates into humans.

    IFNγ induces epigenetic programming of human T-bethi B cells and promotes TLR7/8 and IL-21 induced differentiation

    Esther Zumaquero, Sara L Stone ... Frances E Lund
    IFNγ increases the responsiveness of human B cells to IL-2, TLR7/8 and IL-21 signals and therefore enhances antibody production in inflammatory settings associated with autoimmune or chronic disease.

    IgE-mediated mast cell activation promotes inflammation and cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis

    Qian Wang, Christin M Lepus ... William H Robinson
    Osteoarthritis pathogenesis is driven by IgE-mediated mast cell activation.
