mRNA vaccines engage unconventional pathways in CD8+ T cell priming - Nature mRNA–lipid-nanoparticle vaccines do not require type 1 conventional dendritic (cDC1) cells or the WDFY4-dependent cross-presentation pathway for CD8+ T cell priming but, instead, engage both cDC1 and ...

"While CD8+ T cells primed exclusively by either cDC1 or cDC2 cells showed phenotypic differences, both could mediate anti-tumour responses and memory formation."

High-fat diet causes rapid loss of intestinal group 3 innate lymphoid cells through microbiota-driven inflammation and mitochondrial stress Although long-term dietary effects on the immune system are well established, how short-term high-fat diet (HFD) alters intestinal immunity is less understood. Here, Torrico et al. show that within ho...

For Chongqing/Sichuan hotpot, you normally need to dip your food in sesame oil (fat) before putting it into your mouth.

Fasting impairs humoral immunological memory by β-hydroxybutyrate-mediated depletion of plasma cells Vaccine-induced long-lived plasma cells protect the host by secreting neutralizing antibodies, yet the mechanism regulating their lifespan remains unclear. Here, Zhu et al. reveal that fasting deplete...

So perhaps everyone needs to have a regular and balanced diet, even though fasting might be a fashion for someone at some time.

Turning tumors against themselves Cell reprogramming can be used to short-circuit the cancer-immunity cycle

"AT-108, a replication-deficient adenoviral vector encoding the human PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3 transcription factors (1), enables in vivo cell-fate conversion of cancer cells and other cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) into induced cDC1-like cells (iDC1s)"

Engineering in vivo CAR-T cells - Nature Medicine Early clinical data on in vivo CAR-T cell therapy for multiple myeloma reveals key mechanistic insights and could mark the beginning of a new era of fast, streamlined and accessible immunotherapies.

"This (i.e. in vivo CAT T) cut enrollment-to-treatment time to eight hours, compared to several weeks for ex vivo CAR T."

2. Stay in the field long enough and people will find you. You don't need to go viral. You just need to keep showing up and sharing what you know. Consistently. For years.

Furthermore, the ratio of activated (CD38+ HLA-DR+) versus exhausted (TIM-3+PD-1+) CD8+ T cells was higher in the early ToD group (P < 0.001) compared with the late ToD group (P < 0.001).
