Really interesting paper 🧪 🤩

Immune evasion through mitochondrial transfer 😮

Ikeda et al find that #mitochondria from cancer cells can #transfer over to T cells - altering their #metabolism & reducing antitumour immunity

Happy to share the last preprint from the Ivanov lab with CD226+ macrophage subset conserved across several tissues and especially fat, in which they regulate lipid metabolism. They exhibit a rapid turnover from monocytes, and in particular MDP-derived monocytes !

CD226+ adipose tissue macrophages arise from MDP-derived monocytes and regulate lipid metabolism.
Macrophages are innate immune cells present in all tissues, in which they participate in immune responses and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. They develop either from embryonic precursors or from c...
