Distinct metabolic programs established in the thymus control effector functions of γδ T cell subsets in tumor microenvironments
Metabolic programming controls immune cell lineages and functions, but little is known about γδ T cell metabolism. Here, we found that γδ T cell subsets making either interferon-γ (IFN-γ) or interleukin (IL)-1...

Loss of translation: a stealth weapon against pathogens?
Various receptors alert cells to microbial invasion through the detection of conserved molecular patterns and initiate innate immunity. During infection with Legionella pneumophila, macrophages modulate cytokine ...

Suppression of eIF2α kinases alleviates Alzheimer's disease–related plasticity and memory deficits
Phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 α subunit (eIF2α) is increased in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients and model mice. Here the authors show that knocking down two kinases that phos...

Open AccessDC-ATLAS: a systems biology resource to dissect receptor specific signal transduction in dendritic cells
The advent of Systems Biology has been accompanied by the blooming of pathway databases. Currently pathways are defined generically with respect to the organ or cell type where a reaction takes place. The cell...

Open AccessRibosomal protein mRNAs are translationally-regulated during human dendritic cells activation by LPS
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the sentinels of the mammalian immune system, characterized by a complex maturation process driven by pathogen detection. Although multiple studies have described the analysis of acti...

Genetic Modification of Murine Dendritic Cells by RNA Transfection
The ability to manipulate in vitro cultured dendritic cells (DCs) by transfection represents an attractive strategy to load these antigen-presenting cells with genetic material encoding various immunogenic epi...

Purification and Characterization of MHC Class II Containing Organelles in Mouse Bone-Marrow-Derived Dendritic Cells
The initiation and propagation of the immune responses is dependent on the ability of antigen-presenting cells (APC) to convert proteins into peptides, to load them intracellularly onto major histocompatibilit...
