J Immunol. 2026 Jul 10;215(7):vkag180. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag180. ABSTRACT Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key sensors of infection and injury, and are critical inducers of inflammation. TLR-induced activation of the NF-κB and MAPK pathways promotes the secretion of mediators of inflammation such as cytokines and chemokines. Control of cytokine production is critically important, as unnecessary inflammatory responses … Read more

J Immunol. 2026 Jul 10;215(7):vkag188. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag188. ABSTRACT We and others have described homeostatic dysregulation of the CD4+ memory T-cell compartment with age. To gain greater insights into this dysregulation, we performed comprehensive single-cell genomic analysis of endogenous memory CD4+ T cells from young and aged mice. This analysis revealed 16 populations, composed of Th1, … Read more

J Immunol. 2026 Jul 10;215(7):vkag142. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag142. ABSTRACT Radiation is an effective site-specific cytotoxic therapy for cancer cells. In preclinical models, CD8 T cells are essential for optimum tumor control by radiation therapy, yet CD8 T cells are radiosensitive and depleted within the treatment field. Irradiated tumors can be refilled with T cells that were … Read more

J Immunol. 2026 Jul 10;215(7):vkag153. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag153. ABSTRACT The mammalian ovary is the dynamic end-organ of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. In this coordinated system, ovarian cells undergo continuous cycles of apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation. These changes parallel fluctuations in ovarian hormones such as estradiol; however, the ovarian immune microenvironment during high- and low-estradiol states remains incompletely … Read more

J Immunol. 2026 Jul 10;215(7):vkag181. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag181. ABSTRACT Periodic activation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is necessary to restrict autoreactive T cells and maintain immune homeostasis. IL-2-STAT5 signaling instructs several metabolic processes underlying Treg activation, including the mevalonate pathway, which is crucial for optimal Treg responses. However, direct links between IL-2-STAT5, mevalonate, and Treg function … Read more

J Immunol. 2026 Jul 10;215(7):vkag031. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag031. ABSTRACT Somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes in germinal center B cells is based on the introduction of DNA lesions by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), followed by lesion processing by multiple error-prone DNA repair pathways. Error-free DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR) is required for the repair of … Read more

J Immunol. 2026 Jul 10;215(7):vkag184. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag184. ABSTRACT Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant clonal expansion of myeloid progenitor cells that impedes normal hematopoiesis and culminates in bone marrow failure and death. The development of chemoresistant disease in response to first-line chemotherapies is common and indicates a need for new therapies. Tumor-specific mRNA vaccines … Read more
