    Tumor-associated macrophages restrict CD8+ T cell function through collagen deposition and metabolic reprogramming of the breast cancer microenvironment

    Tumor progression is accompanied by fibrosis, a condition of excessive extracellular matrix accumulation, which is associated with diminished antitumor immune infiltration. Here we demonstrate that tumor-assoc...

    Single-cell and spatial multi-omics highlight effects of anti-integrin therapy across cellular compartments in ulcerative colitis

    Ulcerative colitis (UC) is driven by immune and stromal subsets, culminating in epithelial injury. Vedolizumab (VDZ) is an anti-integrin antibody that is effective for treating UC. VDZ is known to inhibit lymp...

    Defining and using immune archetypes to classify and treat cancer

    Tumours are surrounded by a host immune system that can suppress or promote tumour growth. The tumour microenvironment (TME) has often been framed as a singular entity, suggesting a single type of immune state...

    Distinct metabolic states guide maturation of inflammatory and tolerogenic dendritic cells

    Cellular metabolism underpins immune cell functionality, yet our understanding of metabolic influences in human dendritic cell biology and their ability to orchestrate immune responses is poorly developed. Her...

    Deep immunophenoty** reveals endometriosis is marked by dysregulation of the mononuclear phagocytic system in endometrium and peripheral blood

    Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder where inflammation contributes to disease-associated symptoms of pelvic pain and infertility. Immune dysfunction includes insufficient immune lesion clea...

    Genetic and immunologic features of recurrent stage I lung adenocarcinoma

    Although surgery for early-stage lung cancer offers the best chance of cure, recurrence still occurs between 30 and 50% of the time. Why patients frequently recur after complete resection of early-stage lung c...

    Transcriptomic analysis of immune cells in a multi-ethnic cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus patients identifies ethnicity- and disease-specific expression signatures

    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which outcomes vary among different racial groups. We leverage cell-sorted RNA-seq data (CD14+ monocytes, B cells, CD4+ T cells, and NK cells) fro...

    Global absence and targeting of protective immune states in severe COVID-19

    Although infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has pleiotropic and systemic effects in some individuals13, many others experience milder symptoms. Here, to gain a more compr...

    A natural killer–dendritic cell axis defines checkpoint therapy–responsive tumor microenvironments

    Intratumoral stimulatory dendritic cells (SDCs) play an important role in stimulating cytotoxic T cells and driving immune responses against cancer. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate their abundance i...
