Beyond the bench: teaching grant writing in immunotherapy training. Graham Leggatt

Trends Immunol. 2026 May 20:S1471-4906(26)00103-1. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2026.04.010. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Grant writing is a career-defining skill that most researchers learn too late and without formal training. Here, we describe the integration of a structured, discipline-specific grant writing workshop into a postgraduate immunotherapy course and show that it measurably improved student confidence, funding literacy, … Read more

Hijacked on arrival: glucocorticoids enable disseminated tumor cell immune evasion. Yu Lou

Trends Immunol. 2026 May 20:S1471-4906(26)00102-X. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2026.04.009. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Upon leaving the protective microenvironment of the primary tumor, disseminating tumor cells (DTCs) must withstand immune surveillance on their own. Cassandras et al. recently demonstrated that activation of the glucocorticoid receptor pathway serves as a critical mechanism for immune evasion during metastatic outgrowth … Read more

Autoimmune Retinopathy Complicating TLR7-related Monogenic Interferonopathy

J Clin Immunol. 2026 May 20. doi: 10.1007/s10875-026-02033-x. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Gain-of-function variants in the TLR7 gene have been associated with a spectrum of clinical manifestations, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-like disease, neuromyelitis optica, and progressive leukoencephalopathy. The p.(Leu528Ile) variant has previously been shown to underlie this constellation of findings. Here, we report … Read more

High‐dimensional Spatial Immune Profiling Highlights Microglia‐Like Cells in Human Dorsal Root Ganglia. [[{“value”:”Marius Schwabenland, Busranur Oeztuerk, Thomas Blank, Juergen Beck, Bertram Bengsch, Marco Prinz”}]]

High-dimensional imaging mass cytometry reveals diverse macrophage populations in human dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Microglia-like cells, characterized by markers such as P2RY12, SLC2A5, and TMEM119, localize near neuronal structures, whereas other myeloid subsets are found in interstitial regions. Spatial analysis reveals distinct localization patterns within the DRG. ABSTRACT The human dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are … Read more

Sialylation in Colorectal Cancer Rewires Antitumor Immunity at the Peritoneal Metastatic Site. [[{“value”:”Irene van der Haar Àvila, Kristiaan Lenos, Victor Lorrain, Eleonora Nardini, Ernesto Rodríguez, Juan J. García‐Vallejo, Yvette van Kooyk, Joep Grootjans, Sandra J. van Vliet”}]]

This study shows that loss of sialylation in CT26 cells reduces peritoneal tumor burden, correlating with a lower peritoneal cancer index score. These tumors exhibited increased immune infiltration with prominent alterations in the myeloid compartment and immune cell correlations unique to desialylated tumors, indicating profound reshaping of antitumor immunity. ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are … Read more

The RNA‐ and DNA‐Binding Protein Y‐Box Binding Protein 1 (YB‐1) Regulates iNKT Cell Development. [[{“value”:”Silvia Schulze, Laura Knop, Nouria Jantz‐Naeem, Vladyslava Dovhan, Stephan Fricke, Sascha Kahlfuß, Thomas Schüler, Ursula Bommhardt”}]]

YB-1 is essential for invariant NKT cell development, integrating TCR, co-stimulatory, and IL-15 signaling to control maturation, subset differentiation, and survival. Its loss at the double-positive thymocyte stage causes ∼80% iNKT cell depletion, maturation arrest, impaired cytokine production, and increased apoptosis. ABSTRACT Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) is a multifunctional RNA- and DNA-binding protein with … Read more

A Novel PTPN2 Isoform Differentially Regulates Immune Response. [[{“value”:”Xiaoguang Li, Fedik Rahimov, Rui Wang, Lei Gao, Renze Ma, Tiankai Han, Yingtao Bi, Freidrich Cruz, Jing Wang, Shaun Grosskurth, Elizabeth Asque, Jesus Paez‐Cortez, Marc C. Levesque, Nancy E. Crosbie, Timothy Radstake, Amlan Biswas, Kanstantsin Katlinski”}]]

The A allele of the intronic SNP rs80262450 in the PTPN2 gene favors the expression of the splicing isoform PTPN2.4. This cytoplasmic isoform enhances TNF-α production in myeloid cells, thereby contributing to intestinal inflammation. These findings identify PTPN2.4 as a key pathogenic regulator and potential therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel disease. ABSTRACT Genome-wide association studies … Read more

Hypoxia Independently Induces AID Expression in CH12 B Cells. [[{“value”:”Vincent Heyer, Sandy Haidar Ahmad, Mira Haddad, Inès Argentieri, Coraline Gessier, Bernardo Reina‐San‐Martin”}]]

Hypoxia activates the HIF complex (HIF-1α, HIF-1β, HIF-2α) to induce AID expression in B cells independently of cytokine signaling. However, hypoxia alone is insufficient to trigger class switch recombination (CSR), which additionally requires cytokine-driven chromatin accessibility, highlighting a mechanistic uncoupling between AID induction and functional antibody diversification. ABSTRACT Hypoxia has been shown to shape the … Read more

Interplay between viral oncolysis and host immunity in Newcastle disease virus-based cancer therapy. Deepa Mehta

Semin Immunol. 2026 May 19;82:102032. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2026.102032. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Oncolytic virotherapy emerged as a revolutionary approach to immunotherapy in cancer treatment. Newcastle disease virus (NDV), a promising oncolytic agent of the Paramyxoviridae family, has gained considerable attention as an immunotherapeutic agent against cancer mainly due to its inherent tumor selectivity, broad tropism, … Read more

From the gene to the clinic: Key milestones in the PI3Kδ journey

J Immunol. 2026 May 14;215(5):vkag075. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag075. ABSTRACT Among the PI3K isoforms, PI3Kδ has attracted particular attention from immunologists and hematologists. Despite earlier clinical setbacks, the PI3Kδ field has recently re-emerged with renewed promise. Here, I highlight key milestones in the evolving understanding of PI3Kδ signaling in immunity and cancer, and pivotal studies that have … Read more
