This study identifies OX40-dependent innate lymphoid cell signaling as a novel regulatory program in breast cancer-related lymphedema.

This study identifies tissue-resident neutrophils in fetal mice, showing their homeostatic and immunological roles through single-cell transcriptomics and functional analyses.

This study identifies early yolk sac-derived macrophages in the pituitary gland and shows their role in hormonal regulation and post-pubertal gene expression.

The paper identifies fetal liver-derived macrophages in embryonic BAT that interact with developing nerves, influencing tissue morphology and function.

This study shows that Parp14 deficiency in mice worsens colitis by impairing epithelial barrier integrity and altering inflammation-related gene expression.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the early immune response in lymph nodes of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mice, identifying B cell proliferation, immunoglobulin class switching, and changes in gene expression associated with extrafollicular immunity.

The paper shows that Embigin deficiency causes delayed embryonic lung development and high neonatal mortality in mice.
