Cancer cells hijack mitochondria from Bhlhe40+ T cells for immune evasion

Hailong Hu, Yuhao Tan, Irina S. Shkundina, Richard Madnick, Jing Hu, Hongyi Zhang, Ziqi Yang, Tong Wang, Xuexin Yu, Julia Fleming, Mingyao Pan, Yizhou Wang, Yuanyuan Pang, Drew Weissman, Bo Li

The paper identifies the Bhlhe40-S100a4 cascade as a key regulator of cancer cell mitochondrial transfer from T cells, offering a target for immunotherapy.

Evolutionary constraints limit additional mammalian adaptation of bovine-derived H5N1 influenza viruses in ferrets

Heather M. Machkovech, Wanting Wei, 谷春阳, Lizheng Guan, Asim Biswas, Tadashi Maemura, Tong Wang, Lavanya Babujee, Peter Halfmann, Amie J. Eisfeld, Gabriele Neumann, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, Katia Koelle, Thomas C. Friedrich

This study shows bovine-derived H5N1 viruses face evolutionary constraints in ferrets, limiting adaptation for efficient mammalian transmission despite robust replication.

AI-enabled virtual immunopeptidomics links quantitative neoantigen presentation to immunogenicity

Yuhao Tan, Ziqi Yang, Tong Wang, Hailong Hu, Julia Fleming, Mingyao Pan, Laurence Crane Eisenlohr, Bo Li

The paper develops epiVIP, a deep learning framework to predict HLA-I peptide abundance from (sc)RNA-seq data, showing that peptide abundance and non-selfness jointly determine antigenicity and predict tumor reactivity and survival.

Deficiency in the endocytic adaptor protein PHETA1/2 impairs renal and craniofacial development

Kristin M. Ates, Tong Wang, Trevor Moreland, Rajalakshmi Veeranan‐Karmegam, Manxiu Ma, Chelsi Jeter, Priya Anand, Wolfgang Wenzel, Hyung‐Goo Kim, Lynne A. Wolfe, Joshi A. Stephen, David R. Adams, Thomas C. Markello, Cynthia J. Tifft, Robert E. Settlage, , Y. Albert Pan

This study investigates the role of PHETA1/2 in zebrafish, showing that their deficiency causes renal and craniofacial defects, and links a patient variant to disease pathogenesis.

Zebrafish Dscaml1 is Essential for Retinal Patterning and Function of Oculomotor Subcircuits

Manxiu Ma, Alexandro D. Ramirez, Tong Wang, Rachel L. Roberts, Katherine E. Harmon, David Schoppik, Avirale Sharma, Christopher Kuang, Stephanie L. Goei, James A. Gagnon, Steve Zimmerman, Shengdar Q. Tsai, Deepak Reyon, J. Keith Joung, Emre R. F. Aksay, , Y. Albert Pan

This study shows that zebrafish dscaml1 is crucial for retinal patterning and oculomotor circuit function, with mutations causing deficits in gaze stabilization and saccade fatigue similar to human ocular motor apraxia.
