The Spectrum of Fibroblast Immune Biology

Open DOI
Alberto Guarnieri, Shannon J. Turley
Recent advancements in single-cell omic technology and lineage-tracing approaches have established that functional and dysfunctional activities of the immune system are critically influenced by context-specific microenvironmental factors...
03
William T. Yewdell, Keith Conrad Fernandez, Stephanie M. Downs-Canner et al.
Class switch recombination (CSR) enables B cells to diversify antibody effector functions while preserving antigen specificity. This process involves activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID)–mediated DNA lesions within transcribed don...

Immune Niches in Cancer

Open DOI
Nadine Slingerland, Eline Runderkamp, Daniela S. Thommen
Emerging evidence underscores a key role for the tumor microenvironment in supporting or suppressing cancer immunity. Of note, pro- and antitumor immune activity is controlled by not only the types of immune cells present but also their ...
08
Georgia Stevens, Rafael Blanco-Domínguez, Sofia Mensurado et al.
The success of cancer immunotherapy depends on the mobilization of leukocytes with the capacity to eliminate tumor cells. γδ T cells represent a lymphocyte lineage with strong cytotoxic potential and abundant production of antitumor cyto...

Glycan-Binding Proteins in Immunity

Open DOI
Gabriel A. Rabinovich, Christoph Rademacher, Mirta Schattner et al.
Glycan-binding proteins (GBPs), including Galectins, sialic acid–binding immunoglobin-type lectins (Siglecs), and C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), are key regulators of immune cell development, activation, differentiation, trafficking, an...

Cross-Organ Neuroimmunology of Behavior

Open DOI
Xuanming Guo, Scott J. Russo
Here we introduce the Cross-Organ Neuroimmunology of Behavior (CONB) Network, a framework that reconceptualizes behavior as an emergent property of a distributed, whole-body immune–brain network. It builds on knowledge of neuroimmune com...
