Neutrophil responsiveness to IL-10 impairs clearance of Streptococcus pneumoniae from the lungs
We identify neutrophils as a critical cellular target of interleukin-10–directed immune suppression, as neutrophil-mediated clearance of Streptococcus pneumoniae is improved in the absence of interleukin-10 receptor.

Macrophage extracellular traps promote tumor-like biologic behaviors of fibroblast-like synoviocytes through cGAS-mediated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Extracellular traps formed in rheumatoid arthritis are a significant contributor in rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis. Macrophage extracellular traps promoted rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes through cGAS-mediated activation of the PI3K-Akt-ERK/NF-κB signaling pathways.
Dengue virus infection in mice induces bone marrow myeloid cell differentiation and generates Ly6Glow immature neutrophils with modulated functions
Our study thus provides evidence that dengue virus serotype 2 can accelerate the differentiation of bone marrow progenitor cells into neutrophils through MPO and modulate their functions.
BCG vaccination induces innate immune memory in γδ T cells in humans
Myeloid Bmal1 deletion suppresses the house dust mite–induced chronic lung allergy
Knockdown of Bmal1 in macrophages suppresses eosinophilic inflammation in chronic house dust mite–induced allergy, which is correlated to the phagocytosis and prostanoid production in macrophages.
Adjuvant activities of immunostimulating natural products: Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. and Coriolus versicolor in BNT162b2 vaccination against COVID-19 infection
Combined treatment of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. and Coriolus versicolor can act as adjuvants with messenger RNA vaccine to improve the antibody activities against SARS-CoV-2, probably via macrophages/dendritic cells.
TLR4 sensitizes plasmacytoid dendritic cells for antiviral response against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus
Toll-like receptor 4 activation in plasmacytoid dendritic cells induces an alternative activation state that shares similarities to toll-like receptor 7/8 activation but with its own distinct traits and enhances antiviral functions to SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
