Glutamate attenuates the ILC2 response and allergic airway inflammation via the kainate receptor GluK2
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a critical role in initiating the type 2 immune response, particularly in allergic airway diseases. Although the effects of glutamate on the immune system have been reported previously, its role...

Programmed cell death in inflammation: interactions and holistic perspective
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a major regulatory mechanism that maintains tissue homeostasis and immune balance and strongly influences the initiation, progression and resolution of inflammation. Although apoptosis, pyroptosis, necropto...

CRISPRa screen unveils noncanonical NF-κB to boost the antitumor activity of TCR-based CAR-T cells
Engineering autologous T cells for adoptive therapies has revolutionized cancer treatment, yet limited persistence remains a major barrier to robust clinical responses and durable disease control. Although costimulation with 4-1BB marked...

IGF2BP2 remodels the lung metastatic immune microenvironment to promote bladder cancer metastasis
Bladder cancer lung metastasis poses a major therapeutic challenge because of pronounced tumor heterogeneity. However, the mechanisms regulating bladder cancer metastasis remain elusive. Here, we established a lung-tropic bladder cancer ...

The H3K27me3-NR1D1-IFN-γ axis in trained macrophages induced by early respiratory virus infection drives non-T2 asthma in children
Unlike that of T2 asthma, the pathophysiology of non–T2 asthma remains largely unexplored. However, increasing evidence supports a role for trained macrophages in asthma. In this study, we utilized a non-T2 asthma mouse model associated ...

Geranylgeranylation is required for B-cell proliferation and plasma cell survival implications for autoimmune therapy
Tissue-resident long-lived plasma cells, whose current therapies fail to effectively eliminate them, are now recognized as key factors in refractory and relapsed autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this stu...

BCR signal strength governs VH gene replacement in peripheral B cells
Generated by stochastic V(D)J recombination, unique B-cell receptors (BCRs) consist of IgH and IgL chains, recognize antigens, and serve as distinct barcodes to identify each individual B cell. Once a B-cell acquires its BCR, does it mai...

CAR signaling instructs divergent metabolic reprogramming and functional fates in αβ and γδ T cells
γδ T-cell-based immunotherapies have become relevant as alternatives to conventional αβ T-cell products, with preclinical data demonstrating tumor burden reduction and the mitigation of tumor-induced tissue damage. Given that most CAR co...

αTIGIT-guided IL-15 mimetics drive potent and safe antitumor immunity by restoring tumor-infiltrating T cells
Cytokines are powerful modulators of antitumor immunity, but their clinical use is limited by structural instability, short half-life, poor drug-like properties, and severe systemic toxicity. Antibody-based cytokine mimetics have recentl...
