IRF7 deficiency increases disease severity independently of TLR7 recognition in Influenza A infection in mice

Ana Karina Nisperuza Vidal, Chenxiao Wang, Michaela J. Allen…·Xuebin Qin

This study shows that IRF7 deficiency worsens influenza A disease in mice, independent of TLR7, by impairing early interferon responses and adaptive immunity.

Leptin Acts as a Peripheral Tropic Signal to Tune Steroidogenesis

Jie Yun Sun, Adam Aldahir, Wen-Kan Liu…·Wu‐Min Deng

This study identifies leptin as a peripheral signal that modulates steroidogenesis by altering lipid pools through JAK/STAT signaling across species.
