The July 2026 issue of #ScienceImmunology is out! This month's special issue celebrates the journal's 10th anniversary, reflects on milestones, and takes a deep dive on immune memory. Learn more: scim.ag/4bfx2GH
This month’s cover illustration depicts an avatar of the immune system playing a memory game, in which previously encountered pathogens are remembered. The scene is framed by an unspooling chromosome, highlighting the critical role that epigenetic reprogramming plays in both innate and adaptive immune memory.

Great to see this out! Following on from our earlier work revealing DOT1L was essential for humoral responses, here we determine the importance of H3K79me2 at multiple stages of B cell biology 👏 to Liam for tenaciously driving this study 👏 to collabs incl @sjturn.bsky.social + those not on bsky

I've been developing a semantic search tool that covers not just bioRxiv and medRxiv, but the entire PubMed database. This means you can search across a massive collection of biomedical research using keywords, questions, hypotheses, or even full abstracts. Try it out: mssearch.xyz

#TheMoreTheMerrier! Zoler, Meyer, Schreiber &co show @ Science Signaling that the type I interferon receptor IFNAR can promiscuously bind multiple JAKs affecting downstream signaling & competing with other cytokine receptors! doi.org/10.1126/scisignal.adl1892
doi.org
Promiscuous Janus kinase binding to cytokine receptors modulates signaling efficiencies and contributes to cytokine pleiotropy
Competition among JAKs for receptor binding may underlie cell type–specific differences in cytokine signaling.
