Interesting paper on mitochondrial control of cross-presentation in cDC1s: loss of Complex I impairs cross-presentation of cell-associated antigen and alters NAD+/NADH balance. Restoring NAD+/NADH rescues the phenotype, while correcting lipid peroxidation does not.
Science Magazine@science.org · 2mo agoStudies of mouse dendritic cells show that mitochondrial complex I dysfunction can impair antigen cross-presentation, but can be restored by rebalancing redox homeostasis. Learn more in #ScienceImmunology: https://scim.ag/4usTmo2

Nature research paper: Submicrometre sampling of living cells by macrophages go.nature.com/428tTUm
Submicrometre sampling of living cells by macrophages - Nature
Macrophages can sample antigens from living cells through a trogocytosis-like mechanism that routes ingested material away from degradation, a finding that delineates a previously unknown pathway for antigen presentation to CD8 T cells.

Excited to announce our new study (w/ @maxkrummel.bsky.social) published today @nature.com: Macrophages “hold our living identities” by taking tiny bites from living cells and presenting this information to CD8 T cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #immunology #cellbiology @immunox.bsky.social

Ludwig @stanford.edu Siddhartha Jaiswal spoke at #AACR2026 about his lab’s exploration of the drivers of clonal hematopoiesis—in which the descendants of certain mutated stem cells come to dominate the blood cell population—and the implications of the pre-malignant process for cancer.
