Early-life vitamin A treatment rescues neonatal infection-induced durably impaired tolerogenic properties of celiac lymph nodes

Gut -draining mesenteric and celiac lymph nodes (mLNs and celLNs) critically contribute to peripheral tolerance toward food and microbial antigens by supporting the de novo induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). These tolerogenic properties of mLNs and c ...

Autoantibodies against type I IFNs in humans with alternative NF-κB pathway deficiency

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Alessandro Borghesi, Yu Zhang, Peng Zhang, Qian Zhang

Patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome type 1 (APS-1) caused by autosomal recessive AIRE deficiency produce autoantibodies that neutralize type I interferons (IFNs) 1,2 , conferring a predisposition to life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia 3 . ...

Reaching an understanding of cortico-medullary control of forelimb behaviors

Mackenzie Mathis, Thomas Trevelyan James Sainsbury

How the neocortex modulates hindbrain and spinal circuits is of fundamental interest for understanding mo-tor control and adaptive behaviors. New work from Yang, Kanodia, and Arber demonstrates that there is an exquisite anatomical organization and functio ...

Stromal Notch ligands foster lymphopenia-driven functional plasticity and homeostatic proliferation of naive B cells

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

In lymphopenic environments, secondary lymphoid organs regulate the size of B and T cell compartments by supporting the homeostatic proliferation of mature lymphocytes. The molecular mechanisms underlying these responses and their functional consequences r ...

Notch1-driven T-ALL chromatin landscape is regulated by Tcf1 in hematopoietic progenitors

Mateusz Waldemar Antoszewski

Notch1 receptor signaling is essential for T cell fate specification and physiological thymic T lymphocyte development. Its dysregulation and oncogenic activation are detected in almost 80% of pediatric patients suffering from T cell acute lymphoblastic le ...

Follicular regulatory helper T cells control the response of regulatory B cells to a high-cholesterol diet

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Aims B cell functions in the process of atherogenesis have been investigated but several aspects remain to be clarified. Methods and results In this study, we show that follicular regulatory helper T cells (T-FR) control regulatory B cell (B-REG) populatio ...

Systematic screening of viral and human genetic variation identifies antiretroviral resistance and immune escape link

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Background: Considering the remaining threat of drug-resistantmutations (DRMs) to antiretroviral treatment (ART) efficacy, we investigated how the selective pressure of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes drives certain DRMs' e ...

Regulatory T cells engineered with TCR signaling-responsive IL-2 nanogels suppress alloimmunity in sites of antigen encounter

Li Tang, Na Li

Adoptive cell transfer of ex vivo expanded regulatory T cells (T-r(egs)) has shown immense potential in animal models of auto- and alloimmunity. However, the effective translation of such T-reg therapies to the clinic has been slow. Because T-reg homeostas ...

Canonical Notch signaling controls the early thymic epithelial progenitor cell state and emergence of the medullary epithelia lineage in fetal thymus development

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Dong Liu

Thymus function depends on the epithelial compartment of the thymic stroma. Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) regulate T cell lineage commitment and positive selection, while medullary (m) TECs impose central tolerance on the T cell repertoire. Duri ...

In Vivo Pre-Instructed HSCs Robustly Execute Asymmetric Cell Divisions In Vitro

Matthias Lütolf, Aline Roch, Mukul Girotra, Vincent Trachsel

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for life-long production of all mature blood cells. Under homeostasis, HSCs in their native bone marrow niches are believed to undergo asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs), with one daughter cell maintaining HSC ...
