The antagonism of sex chromosomes and sex hormones dictates outcomes in Th17 cell-mediated central nervous system autoimmunity.

Muhammad Umair, Joanie Baillargeon, Charles Joly-Beauparlant…·Manu Rangachari

This study shows that sex hormones and sex chromosomes have opposing effects on Th17 cell-mediated autoimmunity in mice, with hormones reducing disease severity and chromosomes increasing it.

Myelin antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells induce chronic CNS autoimmunity in a CD4+ T cell-dependent manner.

Irshad Akbar, Prenitha Mercy Ignatius Arokia Doss, Preya Patel…·Manu Rangachari

This study shows that CD8+ T cells can drive chronic CNS autoimmunity in a CD4+ T cell-dependent manner through Th17-like differentiation and cytokine production.

Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infected Microglial Cells Secrete Exosomes Containing let-7a/b that Facilitate Neuronal Damage via Caspase Activation

Sriparna Mukherjee, Irshad Akbar, Bharti Kumari…·Arup Kumar Banerjee

The paper identifies let-7a/b miRNAs in JEV-infected microglia and shows they promote neuronal damage via exosome-mediated caspase activation.
