Discovery Stack Pilot Demonstrates the Feasibility and Outcomes of a Scientist-Designed Peer-Review Model That Separates Quality and Impact

The paper tests a new peer-review model that separates scientific quality from impact, showing reviewers can effectively evaluate both dimensions and participants support its adoption.

Dysfunctional memory B cell responses to the protective repeat region of the Plasmodium circumsporozoite protein are associated with waning humoral immunity

The paper shows that the repetitive structure of the Plasmodium CSP protein affects B cell memory, leading to reduced humoral immunity over time.

Tissue-resident memory B cells augment local anti-cancer immunity via IgA

The paper identifies tissue-resident memory B cells in cancer patients and shows they contribute to anti-cancer immunity through IgA-dependent protection in murine models.

AMPAR immunization induces progressive autoimmune encephalitis with autoreactive B cells in the brain

This study develops a mouse model of anti-AMPAR encephalitis and shows that autoreactive B cells and plasma cells accumulate in the brain, driving disease progression.

BCL6 is required for the development of functionally responsive IgM+ GC-independent Memory B Cells

The paper identifies BCL6 and CD4+ T cell dependence in generating functional IgM+ memory B cells independent of germinal center formation.
