Human Th17 state classification reveals a selective vulnerability in acylcarnitine metabolism in type 2 diabetes

Naveena S. Ujagar, Suresh Poudel, SHUBH SARASWAT…·Dequina Nicholas

The paper classifies human Th17 cells into non-pathogenic and pathogenic states and identifies acylcarnitine metabolism as a vulnerability in type 2 diabetes.

Terminally differentiated effector memory T cells associate with cognitive and AD-related biomarkers in an aging-based community cohort

Edric D. Winford, Jenny Lutshumba, Barbara J. Martin…·Adam D. Bachstetter

This study examines the association between terminally differentiated effector memory T cells (TEMRAs) and cognitive and AD-related biomarkers in an aging cohort, finding CD8+ TEMRAs correlate with neuroinflammation markers.

Mitochondria-Associated Membranes Are Not Altered In Immune Cells In T2D

Samantha N. Hart, Raji Rajesh Lenin, Jamie Sturgill…·Barbara S. Nikolajczyk

This study shows that MAM proteins and their functions in human immune cells are not altered in T2D, suggesting they are unlikely to contribute to metaflammation.
