From the American Association of Immunologists 2024 conference in Chicago, Cindy and Steph meet up with Mark Shlomchik to talk about his career and the research of his laboratory on systemic autoimmune diseases, long-lived B cell immunity, and immunopathogenesis.
Immune reviews evidence that toll-like receptor 9 on the surface of red blood cells binds DNA, leading to uptake by macrophages and innate immune activation.
The immunophiles explain how metabolic rewiring of macrophages by CpG promotes clearance of cancer cells.
