Indoxyl sulfate, a key uremic toxin in chronic kidney disease (CKD), induces trained immunity in monocytes via crosstalk between aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-dependent epigenetic reprogramming by enhancement of the arachidonic acid pathway and AhR-independent metabolic rewiring.

Cancer cell antigen presentation, a requirement for immune-mediated tumor rejection, is induced by dihydroorotate dehydrogenase-inhibitor-mediated cancer cell pyrimidine nucleotide depletion via P-TEFb-dependent transcriptional upregulation of MHC-I and related genes.

The role of lysosomal Ca²⁺ flux associated with K⁺ efflux, a well-known event in inflammasome activation in metabolic inflammation and inflammasome activation, has been presented.

Interferon contributes to photosensitivity at least in part by causing Langerhans cell ADAM17 dysfunction, raising the possibility that anifrolumab ameliorates lupus skin disease in part by restoring Langerhans cell function.

A gene expression data-informed model reveals that a small fraction of interferon-producing cells can effectively constrain early virus spread in epithelial tissue, elucidating connections between critical dynamics and infection heterogeneity.

A newly identified immunometabolic mechanism clarifies the aberrant trafficking of dendritic cells to lymph nodes in tuberculosis.
