ABSTRACT Immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, are characterized by chronic inflammation and damage to the intestinal barrier. Several of the current therapeutic strategies for inflammatory diseases attempt to decrease inflammation but cause side effects in a significant fraction of patients without … Read more

With the recognition of cytosolic dsDNA sensing as an initiator of immune responses, its interface with metabolic rewiring has emerged as a key area of investigation. Focusing on the stimulator of interferon genes adaptor … Read more

ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease defined by an immunosuppressive microenvironment refractory to therapy. Kiemen et al. applied 3D histology, imaging mass cytometry, and spatially resolved DNA sequencing to human pancreata containing early precursors of the disease, revealing heterogeneous and mutation-specific inflammatory niches … Read more

ABSTRACT Tissue-resident macrophages exhibit remarkable plasticity, dynamically adapting to their local environment and adopting tissue-specific phenotypes that support organ homeostasis. The underlying identity-determining transcriptional programs are instructed by microenvironmental cues. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), which has long been recognized for its role in immunosuppression, … Read more

ABSTRACT Neutrophil asthma is a severe, corticosteroid-resistant subtype characterized by airway neutrophilia and declining lung function. Su et al. identify a sirtuin 6-lactate dehydrogenase A-histone lactylation axis that links macrophage glycolysis to epigenetic chemokine regulation, offering mechanistic insight into neutrophil recruitment and highlighting potential … Read more
