The transcription complex p52–ETS1 is essential for germinal center formation
Nature Immunology, Published online: 25 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02236-1 Tergaonkar and colleagues identify a noncanonical interaction between the NF-κB transcription factor family member p52 and the ETS family member ETS1. They find that Read More
Nature Immunology, Published online: 24 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02205-8 Single-cell spatial proteomics paired with chromatin accessibility mapping identifies a diverse range of human microglial immune states. In Alzheimer’s disease, hippocampal microglia tend to Read More
Secretogranin 2 binds LILRB4 resulting in immunosuppression – New Study
Nature Immunology, Published online: 24 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02233-4 Here the authors identify the granin hormone SCG2 as a ligand for the inhibitory receptor LILRB4. They show that SCG2 released from tumors can suppress Read More
Early methionine availability attenuates T cell exhaustion – New Study
Nature Immunology, Published online: 23 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02223-6 The tumor environment is nutrient deficient. Here the authors show that early availability of methionine is critical for optimal T cell activation and prevents T Read More
Transcription factors TCF4 and KLF4 respectively control the development of
Nature Immunology, Published online: 23 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02208-5 Here Zhu et al. investigate the ontogeny of type 2 dendritic cells (DC2s) in mice. Using Klf4 expression to distinguish conventional DC precursors from plasmacytoid Read More
T cells require mitochondria to proliferate, function and generate memory
Nature Immunology, Published online: 22 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41590-025-02226-3 Using genetic modifications to dissect mitochondrial functions, we found that, on acute stimulation, CD8+ T cells require mitochondrial metabolism to sustain proliferation and prevent exhaustion. Read More
Spatial proteomics of Alzheimer’s disease-specific human microglial states – New
