Critical role of CD206+ macrophages in promoting a cDC1-NK-CD8 T cell anti-tumor immune axis

This study shows that CD206+ macrophages support an anti-tumor network involving cDC1, NK cells, and CD8 T cells, and their depletion impairs tumor control in mice and correlates with poor survival in humans.

Multimodal delineation of a layer of effector function among exhausted CD8 T cells in tumors

The paper identifies a potent effector state among exhausted CD8 T cells in tumors using multimodal CITE-Seq, showing enhanced cytokine production and tumor-killing ability.

Tumor cell heterogeneity drives spatial organization of the intratumoral immune response in squamous cell skin carcinoma

This study shows that tumor cell heterogeneity influences the spatial organization of immune responses in squamous cell skin carcinoma, affecting immunotherapy outcomes.

Immediate myeloid depot for SARS-CoV-2 in the human lung

The paper investigates early SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung myeloid cells, finding rapid viral tropism, ACE2 dependence, and poor interferon induction, suggesting a myeloid depot for viral persistence.

Spatiotemporal co-dependency between macrophages and exhausted CD8+ T cells in cancer

This study investigates the interaction between macrophages and exhausted CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment, showing they form a feedback loop that promotes tumor survival.

Global Absence and Targeting of Protective Immune States in Severe COVID-19.

The paper identifies that severe COVID-19 patients lack ISG-expressing cells and have antibodies that block their production, contrasting with mild cases.

Learned adaptive multiphoton illumination microscopy

This paper develops a machine learning model to adaptively adjust multiphoton microscopy illumination power based on in situ cell imaging, enabling improved in vivo immune response visualization in mouse lymph nodes.
