Our study on glioblastoma-associated immunoregulatory astrocytes is out in @Nature today by @CamiloFaustAkl! We identified GBM-derived IL-11 as a regulator of TRAIL+ astrocytes, which limit anti-tumor T cell responses via apoptosis.

New review on our all-time favorite molecule out today in @NatRevDrugDisc by @carol_zinhap!.
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor: a rehabilitated target for therapeutic immune modulation. This new review discusses how the AHR - once avoided in drug development - is now being targeted for inflammatory disorders, cancer and infectious diseases

Congrats to @MiKilian90 for making the cover of @SciImmunology! This exciting story on NK cell-mediated lysis of activated T cells via B7H6 proposes a potential checkpoint mechanism for cancer immunotherapies.
Natural killer cells lyse #Tcells that express #B7H6 protein, restricting #antitumor #CART response in mice, according to a new study. @broadinstitute @Platten_lab @DKFZ . Learn more:
