How cells induce the production of antiviral molecules while shutting down protein translation to limit viral replication remains unclear. Here, Harioudh et al. show a non-canonical function for the interferon-induced antiviral protein, OAS1, which seq…
Our understanding of how metabolites in the tumor microenvironment impact tumor-intrinsic immune responses remains incomplete. Here, Ding et al. reveal that lactate triggers RNA-splicing-mediated CTLA-4 expression in tumor-infiltrating Treg cells, whic…
SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccine-induced immunity is thought to wane quickly based on short-term studies. Using longitudinal data, Srivastava et al. find that participants with hybrid immunity show faster, higher antibody responses after initial vaccinati…
While Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) plays important roles in the CNS, its role in microglia is unclear. Huang et al. find that NKAα1 inhibits microglia activation by forming a complex with P2X7R. Stress decreases membrane expression of NKAα1, facilitating P2X7R-…
LAG-3, TIM-3, and TIGIT comprise the next generation of immune checkpoint receptors being harnessed in the clinic.In this review, Joller et al. review advances in our understanding of the specialized functions of LAG-3, TIM-3, and TIGIT, focusing on th…
Aging induces cellular senescence of immune cells, yet the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Here, Zhou et al. reveal that type 2 cytokine signaling protects macrophages from senescence by directly sustaining DNA repair. They further show that…
