Pressure from surrounding tissues activates invasive programs in cancer cells. This mechanical stress rewires epigenetic regulation. Cancer cells are notoriously adaptable, capable of shifting their characteristics as they spread throughout the body. Many of these Read More
Scientists at Gladstone Institutes uncovered a surprising reason why dopamine-producing neurons, crucial for smooth body movements, die in Parkinson’s disease. In mice, when these neurons were kept overactive for weeks, they began to falter, Read More
Antigen-specific Treg cells induce infectious tolerance Summary Antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) can induce “infectious tolerance,” a powerful mechanism where Tregs not only suppress immune responses against a specific antigen but also convert other immune Read More
Damage-induced IL-18 stimulates thymic NK cells limiting endogenous tissue regeneration
Nature Immunology, Published online: 11 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02270-z The thymus is sensitive to acute insults including infection, as well as to injury from chemotherapy and myeloablative conditioning before hematopoietic cell transplantation. Here, Granadier Read More
T cells engineered to target a shared β-catenin mutation eradicate solid tumors in mice Summary Genetically engineered T cells targeting a specific mutation in the β-catenin protein have shown remarkable success in eradicating solid tumors Read More
Publisher Correction: GD2-targeting CAR T cells in high-risk neuroblastoma: a
Publisher Correction: GD2-targeting CAR T cells in high-risk neuroblastoma: a phase 1/2 trial Summary A phase 1/2 clinical trial investigated the safety and efficacy of GD2-targeting CAR T cells in children and young adults with Read More
CD160+CD8+ T cells for improved immunotherapy Summary CD160+CD8+ T cells are a subset of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) with enhanced antitumor activity. CD160, an activating receptor, distinguishes these cells and contributes to their Read More
Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cells Achieve Record-Breaking 33.1% Efficiency – New
Researchers have unlocked a new method of passivating perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells, achieving record efficiencies and laying the groundwork for more powerful solar technology. A group of international photovoltaics researchers has made an important advance Read More
Nature Reviews Immunology, Published online: 08 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s41577-025-01219-5 Functional and metabolic properties of innate-like T cells — namely, iNKT cells, MAIT cells and some γδ T cells — differ from those of conventional T cells. Read More
