"A rare genetic mutation known as APOE3-R136S, or the “Christchurch mutation,” appears to protect against #AlzheimersDisease by suppressing inflammatory signaling in the brain’s immune cells."

The R136S mutation in the APOE3 gene confers resilience against tau pathology via inhibition of the cGAS-STING-IFN pathway
The APOE3 Christchurch mutation (R136S) reduces tau pathology despite the PSEN1 mutation and high amyloid, though its protective mechanism remains unclear. Naguib et al. show that R136S suppresses mic...

Online now: Metallophilic marginal zone macrophages cross-prime CD8+ T cell-mediated protective immunity against blood-borne tumors
Metallophilic marginal zone macrophages cross-prime CD8+ T cell-mediated protective immunity against blood-borne tumors
Metallophilic marginal zone macrophages are positioned strategically within the spleen to process internalized blood-borne materials. Mauvais et al. find that these CD169+ macrophages cross-prime CD8+ T cell responses to internalized antigens using a proteasome-independent pathway, contributing to antitumor immunity independently of type 1 conventional dendritic cells.

The final version of our work on the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain is now online in @science.org 🎉
You can find the full story here www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
@verenaresch.bsky.social did a wonderful job on the cover and animation, she really brought it to life 👩‍🎨
In a new Science study, cryo–electron tomography captures the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, illuminating how the coordinated action of molecular machines drives life’s fundamental energy conversion.
