    Male rat leukocyte population dynamics predict a window for intervention in aging

    Hagai Yanai, Christopher Dunn ... Isabel Beerman
    Rat blood profiles support non-linear aging with distinct trajectory shifts, and these profiles could be used to predict non-overt illness in rats or aging intervention efficacy.

    The interferon-inducible GTPase MxB promotes capsid disassembly and genome release of herpesviruses

    Manutea C Serrero, Virginie Girault ... Beate Sodeik
    Novel cell-free biochemical experiments show that the host GTPase MxB can restrict the infection of alphaherpesviruses by disassembling the sturdy viral capsids so that they can no longer protect the viral genomes.

    Defense Proteins: Exposing the invader

    Avraham N Bayer, Fred L Homa
    A restriction factor induced by interferons blocks the replication of herpesviruses by disassembling the capsid proteins surrounding their genome.

    Structure of the IL-27 quaternary receptor signaling complex

    Nathanael A Caveney, Caleb R Glassman ... K Christopher Garcia
    The cryogenic-electron microscopy structure of IL-27 bound to receptors, IL-27Rα and gp130, revealing a three-site assembly mechanism and overall topology and molecular details reminiscent of IL-6 but distinct from related IL-12 and IL-23.

    A B-cell actomyosin arc network couples integrin co-stimulation to mechanical force-dependent immune synapse formation

    Jia C Wang, Yang-In Yim ... John A Hammer
    B-cell integrin co-stimulation promotes the formation of an actomyosin network that drives integrin-dependent immune synapse formation and B-cell activation.

    Single-cell profiling reveals periventricular CD56bright NK cell accumulation in multiple sclerosis

    Sabela Rodríguez-Lorenzo, Lynn van Olst ... Helga E de Vries
    Together, our multi-tissue single-cell data shows that CD56bright NK cells accumulate in the periventricular brain regions of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, bringing NK cells back to the spotlight of MS pathology.

    Binary outcomes of enhancer activity underlie stable random monoallelic expression

    Djem U Kissiov, Alexander Ethell ... David H Raulet
    Evidence that enhancer strength determines the extent of random monoallelic gene expression, and that even lineage defining genes thought to be expressed by all cells in a lineage display some degree of random monoallelic expression.

    The DNA sensors AIM2 and IFI16 are SLE autoantigens that bind neutrophil extracellular traps

    Brendan Antiochos, Daniela Trejo-Zambrano ... Antony Rosen
    A novel extracellular role for cytoplasmic DNA sensors in shielding NET DNA from DNase-mediated degradation.

    Redox regulation of PTPN22 affects the severity of T-cell-dependent autoimmune inflammation

    Jaime James, Yifei Chen ... Rikard Holmdahl
    PTPN22 function is regulated by reactive oxygen species, and redox regulation of PTPN22 impacts T-cell-dependent autoimmune inflammation.
