Pluripotency Factors Modulate Interferon Signaling in Embryonic Stem Cells

Qing Yang, Mónica Padilla-Gálvez, Skyler A. Uhl…·Daniel Blanco-Melo

This study shows that pluripotency factors in hESCs regulate negative interferon regulators, suppressing interferon signaling to maintain pluripotency while preserving antiviral resistance.

Direct Antigen Presentation is the Canonical Pathway of Cytomegalovirus CD8 T-cell Priming Regulated by Balanced Immune Evasion Mounting a Strong Antiviral Response

Julia K. Büttner, Sara Becker, Annette Fink…·Niels A. W. Lemmermann

This study investigates how CMV primes CD8 T cells, finding that balanced immune evasion supports optimal antiviral responses despite conflicting evidence on direct antigen presentation's role.
