Suneil Koliwad (S.K.) and Martin Valdearcos (M.V.) spoke with Cell Reports about their scientific journeys leading to their recent paper investigating the role of microglia in shaping blood glucose ho...

Valdearcos et al. show that microglia shape the hypothalamic perineuronal network during early postnatal life, ensuring that hypothalamic neurons projecting to the pancreatic β cell compartment during...

A new technology uses engineered T cells that act as immune “referees” to soothe overreacting immune responses. They also can mop up inflammatory molecules without lowering the entire body’s immune sh...

Immune homeostasis requires a balance of inflammatory and suppressive activities. To design cells potentially useful for local immune suppression, we engineered conventional CD4+ T cells with syntheti...
