#Preprints start the conversation, and #PeerReview pushes research forward. That’s how every discovery we illustrate here takes shape.

Our friends over at The Modern Peer are breaking it all down—check out their blog!

This concludes our 10-day journey and the ImmunoSketch adventure. Thank you for joining in.
May your new year be as resilient and adaptive as the cells we study.
Happy new year! 🎄

And for the grand finale: Precursor central memory versus effector cell fate and naïve CD4+ T cell heterogeneity. A perfect reminder of immunology’s complexity—how one decision can shape an entire fate.

Day -2 highlights an immune-sensory dialogue: A γδ T cell–IL-3 axis controls allergic responses through sensory neurons. Immunology doesn’t just fight disease—it listens, connects, and responds. A beautiful symphony of cells to close out the year.
December 30, 2024 at 10:42 PM
On day -3, we spotlight adaptation: Immune system adaptation during gender-affirming testosterone treatment. A testament to the immune system’s flexibility and resilience—much like the spirit we carry into the new year.
December 29, 2024 at 8:17 PM
Day -4 turns our focus to early development: Proteome asymmetry in mouse and human embryos before fate specification. A fascinating reminder that immune-related pathways often begin shaping outcomes before fate is even sealed.
December 28, 2024 at 9:29 PM
On day -5, we celebrate immune cells in regeneration: Dynamic roles of ILC3 in endometrial repair and regeneration. Just like the new year brings fresh beginnings, ILC3s show us how the immune system fosters repair and renewal.
December 27, 2024 at 1:12 PM
Day -6 dives into the mechanics of cell death: Septins promote macrophage pyroptosis. Who knew cell death pathways could bring such dramatic energy to the immunology stage?
December 26, 2024 at 4:21 PM
Day -7 brings us a lesson in perfect timing: Lung-resident alveolar macrophages regulate the timing of breast cancer metastasis. A reminder that, like the holiday season, the immune system knows when to act—and when to wait.
December 25, 2024 at 7:30 PM
Day -8 shines a light on nature’s microscopic defense systems: Gamma-Mobile-Trio systems are mobile elements rich in bacterial defensive and offensive tools. Like an immune system stocking stuffer, these mobile elements carry all the surprises—tools for attack and defense.
December 24, 2024 at 5:55 PM
On day -9 of our year-end countdown, we celebrate immune engineering at its finest: A tetraspecific engager armed with a non-alpha IL-2 variant harnesses NK cells against B cell NHL. Natural killer cells armed and ready—it’s immunology’s version of Santa’s sleigh delivering precision medicine.
Scientists have invented a new "GPS" that guides our body's own fighters to destroy blood cancer cells.

Day -10: Today’s highlight takes us to the liver: Kupffer cell reverse migration into liver sinusoids mitigates neonatal sepsis and meningitis. Proof that even immune cells can come home for the holidays—and do remarkable things when they get there.

After six months, the ImmunoSketch project has officially reached its end. The goal? To take our intricate, jargon-heavy science and turn it into something your loved ones might finally understand—so they stop assuming you just “look at cells” all day.

CAR-T cells aim to hit cancer targets, but when the target’s unclear, treatment struggles to succeed.
