Functional Specialization and Collaboration of cDC2 Subsets in CD4+ T Cell Priming and Differentiation

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in bridging innate and adaptive immunity by presenting antigens to prime antigen-specific T cells. Conventional DC (cDC) type 2 cells (cDC2s) are a phenotypi...

Gut inflammation promotes microbiota-specific CD4 T cell-mediated neuroinflammation - Nature

Dysregulated CD4 T cells that recognize gut commensal antigens are able to infiltrate the central nervous systems and are re-stimulated by host proteins, resulting in neuroinflammation.

So happy to share our latest paper on #AlveolarMacrophage responses to low-dose #LPS led by @pamelialim.bsky.social!AM #innate responses are enhanced by IFN-beta due to low c-Maf and IL-10 expression, with implications for AM responses to respiratory infections and environmental exposure. #ImmunoSky

Absence of c-Maf and IL-10 enables type I IFN enhancement of innate responses to LPS in alveolar macrophages

Abstract. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are lung-resident myeloid cells and airway sentinels for inhaled pathogens and environmental particles. While AMs can

Excited to see this finally out!! We found IL-2 made by CD301b+ DCs critical for the Th2 fate decision of CD4T cells and skewing them away from the Tfh fate. They also seem to use their own CD25 to direct IL-2 to the cognate clone. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
