#Immunology out now @ScienceMagazine After initial priming in the lymph nodes, mouse CD8 T cells undergo a second phase of stable interactions with dendritic cells that can preferentially stimulate those with a high-affinity for antigen. buff.ly/lCPsea3 By Jobinet al.

#Immunology out now @ScienceMagazine Regulatory T cells inhibit pain sensing in female, but not male, mice. buff.ly/GU13Wsz By @EloraMidavaine, @sakeen_k et al.

ICYMI by first release - now in print @ScienceMagazine: Identification of APCs in the gut that promote Treg differentiation and how tolerance to food antigens is influenced by helminth infection. buff.ly/3DjNQ1e By @CicaCanesso, @victora_lab, @danmucida et al

#Immunology by First Release @ScienceMagazine In mice, during immune responses accompanied by elevated self-antigens, autoreactive CD4 T cells must be restrained by regulatory CD4 T cells with the same antigen specificity to prevent autoimmunity. buff.ly/3EXaXQa

#Immunology out now @ScienceMagazine Machine learning, using the sequences of an individual's B and T cell receptors, has the potential to diagnose immune-related diseases. buff.ly/3QvxSVf By Maxim Zaslavsky @zazius, Erin Craig, @anshulkundaje @ScottBoydLab et al.

#Immunology out now @ScienceMagazine: In mice, the transcription factor KLF2 keeps activated CD8 T cells on track to differentiate into functional effector T cells. buff.ly/4hBmL8W By Eric Fagerberg, Nikhil Joshi @Joshilabyale et al

ICYMI by First Release - now officially in print @ScienceMagazine Specific combinations of nutrients and metabolic enzymes determine T cell differentiation via loci-specific histone acetylations. buff.ly/4gvqKTz From Shixin Ma, Sue Kaech et al. #immunometabolism

#Immunology out now @ScienceMagazine: Scratching in mice promotes pain-sensing neurons to release a neuropeptide that stimulated antigen-activated mast cells to degranulate and produce inflammatory mediators. buff.ly/4hDAgF2 From Andrew Liu, @KaplanLab et al

ICYMI by First Release - now officially in print @ScienceMagazine: Plasma cells producing high-affinity antibodies dominate the plasma cell population through increased proliferation. buff.ly/3BzpLmL By Andrew MacLean, Michel Nussenzweig et al. #Immunology

#Immunology out now @ScienceMagazine ILC2s contribute to glucose homeostasis. Neurons that innervate the gut from areas of the brain associated with glucose sensing can stimulate ILC2s in the gut to relocate to the pancreas upon fasting. buff.ly/42iBst0
