The dominant targets of host immune response to malaria are repeat elements, which are short stretches of amino acids repeated within Plasmodium falciparum proteins, and these are associated with short-lived and exposure-dependent antibody responses.

Single-cell RNA sequencing provides a detailed understanding of the cues controlling in vitro differentiation of human B cells into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), uncovering a novel pre-ASC population present ex vivo in lymphoid tissues that progress through a germinal center-like state.

Identification of bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors as a novel and major cellular source of M-CSF in mice and humans, which controls bone marrow macrophage development, osteoclastogenesis, and bone mass in physiological and pathological conditions.

In localized autoimmune disease, there is autoantigen-driven expansion of both effector T cell and Treg clones that are highly persistent and are (re)circulating, and might represent interesting therapeutic targets.

Regulatory T cell suppress cytotoxic T cells in autoimmunity and cancer by taking up IL-2.

Multi-omic profiling of tumor-infiltrating T cells provides new insights into the differences in the effectiveness of CDK4 inhibitor between human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive and HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Inflamasomme inhibition prevents immune activation, HIV-1 pathogenesis and the splenic content of HIV-1 total DNA in humanized mice when administrated early after HIV-1 infection.

Sequence signatures can be used to discriminate between selected and non-selected immune repertoires at different stages only at the collective population level but not at the level of single cells.

A novel B cell receptor induced interleukin 10 (IL-10) production from B10 cells involves signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) mediated IL-6 production which induces IL-10 in an autocrine and paracrine fashion from B10 cells.

Compared to non-burn tissue, T cells in burn tissue have a pro-inflammatory rather than a homeostatic tissue-resident phenotype, and unconventional T cells in burn tissue have a higher cytotoxic capacity.
