My dream of being a … *gulp* … podcast guest has finally come true! Thanks, @boron110.bsky.social for the fun & freewheeling conversation!

Looking back at the first 10 years of Science Immunology—this week on the @science.org podcast. Editor @immunoeditor.bsky.social explores how the field has changed since the inception of the journal and talks about a special series of reviews on immune memory www.science.org/content/podc...

So far in March, we've featured papers on: • how inflammatory #ILC2 migrate • engineering #CAR-TCells to restore #checkpoint sensitivity • capturing the earliest events of #TCell #development • how certain dietary antigens recognized by #Tregs help mediate #OralTolerance New content every week!

The March 2026 issue of #ScienceImmunology is out! This month's cover highlights how intestinal regulatory T cells in mice recognize food-derived antigens such as the maize protein αZein and suppress immune responses to them. Learn about this research and more: https://scim.ag/4rL6F1I

This month’s cover features an image of flint corn, a frequently colorful variant of maize (Zea mays), that contains an immunodominant food epitope recognized by Treg cells.

#Science #Immunology will be sponsoring a prize for the best poster presentation! The abstract deadline is fast approaching though, so don't delay! I hope to see many of you in marvelous Ghent this coming March!

In partnership with @vibtrainconf.bsky.social, #ScienceImmunology is organizing #Type2Immunity26 in Ghent 9–10 March 2026, bringing together leaders in the field of #Type2Immunity. Check out our lineup here: vibbio.tech/3UwmTNk 🗓️15 DEC: Travel grant deadline 🗓️8 JAN: Abstract deadline

Promotional image for the 3rd edition of the conference titled 'Type 2 Immunity in Homeostasis and Disease (3rd edition)' in Ghent, Belgium, featuring headshots of twelve speakers in a grid format with names and affiliations below each photo. The logo of Science Immunology and VIB are displayed at the top.

The latest issue of #Science #Immunology is out now! This week: • evaluating large language models ( #LLMs ) / #AI as potential #systems #vaccinology tools • de novo #thymus #regeneration in the #axolotl! New content every week!!!

The December issue of #ScienceImmunology is out! This month's cover highlights the juvenile axolotl's ability to regenerate its thymus after complete removal—possibly making it an exception among vertebrates. Learn about this research and more: https://scim.ag/4anWlqv

This month’s cover features the Mexican axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum, which has the ability to regenerate its thymus de novo, an apparent exception among vertebrates.

David Baker & colleagues develop an #IL21 mimic (21h10) that is more stable & shows x-reactivity against both human & murine #IL21R. 21h10 promotes potent antitumor responses in mice and in human #melanoma tumor explants, expanding low-affinity CD8 #TCells & #TH1 cells & reducing #Tregs in #tumors!

Design of a potent interleukin-21 mimic for cancer immunotherapy

A de novo IL-21 mimic, 21h10, exhibits improved stability and potent antitumor activity in vivo compared with native IL-21.

Now in #Science #Immunology: Deshpande, Klose, & al at Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin report that #ILC2 resident in #PNS communicate with neurons via #IL13 to maintain #nerve structure & pain thresholds. Mice lacking ILC2 or whose neurons are Il4ra-KO exhibit #hypersensitivity & #gait defects!

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells regulate nociceptive and gait functions of the peripheral nervous system

ILC2-neuron cross-talk contributes to the maintenance of nerve structure and function of the peripheral nervous system.
