IMMUNE REGULATION
CD29 Enriches for Cytotoxic Human CD4+ T Cells
CD29 expression enriches for cytotoxic CD4+ T cells in blood, tumor, and CMV infection.
CD29hiCD4+ T cells produce more proinflammatory cytokines and granzymes.
CD29hiCD4+ T cells have superior killing capacity against tumor cells in vitro.
RUNX1 Regulates a Transcription Program That Affects the Dynamics of Cell Cycle Entry of Naive Resting B Cells
RUNX1 reduces cell cycle and immediate early gene expression in naive B cells.
BCR stimulation triggers a switch from RUNX1 to RUNX3 binding at cell cycle genes.
Notch signaling is downregulated by RUNX1 in follicular B cells.
B Cell–Intrinsic IRF4 Haploinsufficiency Impairs Affinity Maturation
IRF4 is limiting for efficient production of high-affinity GCBs.
Irf4 haploinsufficiency causes suboptimal regulation of Blimp-1 expression in GCBs.
Irf4 haploinsufficient cells are competitively disadvantaged for T cell help.
CD24 and IgM Stimulation of B Cells Triggers Transfer of Functional B Cell Receptor to B Cell Recipients Via Extracellular Vesicles
CD24 and IgM cause transfer of CD24, IgM, and lipid between B cells.
Transfer of lipid and IgM is mediated by extracellular vesicles.
The transferred CD24 and IgM are functional in recipient cells.
An Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome–Causative Point Mutation in Adar1 Gene Invokes Multiorgan Inflammation and Late-Onset Encephalopathy in Mice
Multiorgan inflammation with IFN signature is observed in Adar1K948N/K948N mice.
White matter abnormalities and gliosis are detected in aged Adar1K948N/K948N mice.
A K948N point mutation reduces ADAR1 p150–mediated RNA editing, activating MDA5.
IMMUNE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Requirement for Macrophage Regeneration Is Tissue Specific
LT-HSCs retain the potential to develop into TRMΦ but are tissue specific.
Large/small peritoneal MΦ exhibit a dual ontogeny, with yolk sac and LT-HSC origins.
Brain-resident microglia are not regenerated by fetal LT-HSCs.
INNATE IMMUNITY AND INFLAMMATION
Gα13 Mediates Transendothelial Migration of Neutrophils by Promoting Integrin-Dependent Motility without Affecting Directionality
Gα13 plays a role in integrin-dependent neutrophil transendothelial migration.
Gα13 enhances motility but did not affect directionality of neutrophil migration.
Integrin outside-in signaling mediates Gα13-dependent neutrophil migration.
Zebrafish sirt7 Negatively Regulates Antiviral Responses by Attenuating Phosphorylation of irf3 and irf7 Independent of Its Enzymatic Activity
Zebrafish sirt7 negatively regulates antiviral responses.
Zebrafish sirt7 attenuates irf3 and irf7 phosphorylation.
Sirt7 carries out its suppressive role in antiviral responses independent of its enzymatic activity.
PDGFRβ Recognizes and Binds Bacteria to Activate Src/Stat Pathway in Oysters
CgPDGFRβ bound different bacteria and interacted with CgSrc.
The activated CgSrc interacted with CgStat to induce its nuclear translocation.
CgPDGFRβ-mediated signaling induced the production of immune effectors.
IL-13 Controls IL-33 Activity through Modulation of ST2
IL-33 activity is mediated by cell surface ST2L and antagonized by decoy soluble ST2.
Il13−/− mice had heightened IL-33 responses relative to WT.
IL-13 limits IL-33 activity by modulating the transmembrane and soluble forms of ST2.
Myeloid Cell–Specific IL-4 Receptor Knockout Partially Protects from Adipose Tissue Inflammation
Lean Il4raΔmyel mice have a deteriorated insulin sensitivity.
Obese Il4raΔmyel mice have a rather improved metabolic phenotype.

On the cover: FACS-sorted small and large peritoneal macrophages (SPM and LPM) were loaded into a microfluidics chip (Fluidigm C1) to isolate individual cells for downstream single-cell high-throughput quantitative PCR. Image shows the bright field microscopy obtained to reveal the size of the isolated macrophage (SPM vs. LPM) located at the center. Eddins, D. J., A. Kosters, J.Waters, J. Sosa, M. Phillips, K.
