Regulatory T cells control type 1-driven immunopathology restraining GM-CSF-producing helper T cells

Sara Costa-Pereira, Margit Lanzinger, Myrto Andreadou…·Burkhard Becher

This study identifies GM-CSF-producing helper T cells as drivers of immunopathology, showing Treg cells restrain them to prevent tissue damage in mice.

Monocyte-derived cells but not Microglia cause Oxidative Tissue Damage in Neuroinflammation

Juan Villar-Vesga, Donatella De Feo, Pauline Clément…·Sarah Mundt

The paper identifies monocyte-derived cells as the primary source of ROS-mediated oxidative tissue damage in neuroinflammation, distinct from microglia.
