The paper classifies human Th17 cells into non-pathogenic and pathogenic states and identifies acylcarnitine metabolism as a vulnerability in type 2 diabetes.

The paper identifies pituitary macrophages as hormone-producing immune cells that regulate gonadotropin secretion through CXCL5-CXCR2-MAPK signaling in female mice.

This study infects 5xFAD mice with SARS-CoV-2 and finds no change in Alzheimer's pathology but widespread gene expression changes in multiple cell types.

This study shows that TLR4 deficiency reduces PCOS-like symptoms in a mouse model by improving metabolic and reproductive health and reducing inflammation.

This study shows that blocking intestinal fructose catabolism reduces obesity and insulin resistance by decreasing fat absorption and altering gut microbiome and immune interactions.

Phollow tracks phage replication and spread in zebrafish guts with single-virion resolution, revealing rapid uptake by intestinal cells and antibiotic-induced shifts in microbial communities.

The paper identifies T cells and TNF-β as associated with PMOS-like phenotypes and shows T cells are necessary for letrozole-induced LH elevation in a mouse model.
