Cytokine-mediated activation of exhausted T cells

Eva Goljat, Rahel Daetwyler, Nima Yassini, Nikolas Rakebrandt, Zhaorong Li, Francisco Javier Quintana, Nicole Joller

This study shows that exhausted CD8 T cells can produce IFN-gamma in response to IL-12 and IL-18, indicating retained cytokine-driven effector capacity.

Detection of astrocyte epigenetic memory in in vitro systems, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis samples

Hong‐Gyun Lee, Zhaorong Li, Camilo Faust Akl, Joon-Hyuk Lee, Gavin Piester, Jack Perry Antel, Veit Rothhammer, Michael A. Wheeler, Alexandre Prat, Iain C. Clark, Francisco Javier Quintana

The paper rebuts claims that astrocyte epigenetic memory is due to immune cell contamination, showing its existence in pure astrocyte cultures and MS samples.
