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.

This study shows that sequential infections in mice remodel immune landscapes, making them more similar to human immunity and affecting future immune responses.

This study identifies a spatially encoded interferon circuit that restricts progenitor exhausted CD8 T cells during chronic infection by enforcing niche sequestration and checkpoint control.

This study shows STING agonists enhance anti-tumor immunity by recruiting monocytic cells and inducing IFN-I responses, with IL-18 playing a key role in CD8 T cell activation.
