Brief Definitive Report
Zachary Papadopoulos et al.
This study investigates how different lymphatic drainage pathways from the central nervous system regulate cerebrospinal fluid homeostasis, highlights the role of lymphatic pathways in maintaining CSF dynamics, and suggests therapeutic potential in modulating these pathways in CNS disorders.
Technical Advances and Resources
Márcia Mesquita Peixoto et al.
This work shows that hepatoblasts in the fetal liver are the primary source of factors that sustain blood cell production. Different hematopoietic progenitors exhibit distinct preferences for neighboring stromal cells and show developmental changes in spatial distribution.
Article
Douglas S. Prado et al.
We discovered that PIKFYVE and its product PtdIns(3,5)P2 are essential regulators of Th17 differentiation. Our findings identify molecular mechanisms by which PIKFYVE promotes Th17 differentiation and suggest that PIKFYVE is a potential therapeutic target in Th17-driven autoimmune diseases.
Article
Xianbin Tian et al.
Rapid capture of potentially harmful bacteria in blood by liver macrophages is vital for blood sterility and health. This work reports how naturally occurring antibodies in the plasma enable macrophages to capture and kill blood-borne bacteria in the liver.
Brief Definitive Report
Yuki Hosono et al.
α-Galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), a marine sponge-derived canonical antigen for invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, has not been detected in mammals. In this study, we report the molecular detection of α-GalCer in mammals using supercritical fluid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.
Article
Colin Sparano et al.
Sparano et al. show that tissue-resident NK cells produce TGF-β1 themselves to establish and maintain residency in glandular tissues. In these environments, TGF-β1, IL-15, and other factors collaboratively induce a Hobit-dependent cytotoxicity program. In the salivary glands, trNK cells limit murine cytomegalovirus persistence.
Article
Fahd Al Qureshah et al.
This study identifies 11 IFNAR1 alleles impairing IFN-α/ω responses but sparing IFN-β, including an allele common in Southern China (P335del). Heterozygous variants show dominant negative effects, linking these variants to increased susceptibility to respiratory and cerebral viral diseases.

Insights
Mitchell Kronenberg, Gabriel Ascui
In this issue, Hosono and co-workers characterize a putative self-glycolipid that engages the iNKT cell TCR when bound to CD1d. The expression and distribution of this compound help to explain some of the unusual properties of invariant NKT cells.
Insights
Erika Valeri, Anna Kajaste-Rudnitski
Chan et al. and Ru et al., identify defective RNA processing as the root cause of impaired antiviral immunity against SARS-CoV2 in the human brainstem and provide molecular insight into virus-associated severe brainstem encephalitis through PKR inactivation.
