TL;DR

This study provides direct evidence that VEXAS-specific TE govern HSC clonal dominance, thereby uncovering a regulatory axis underlying HSC biology and disease mechanisms, opening a therapeutic strategy directed towards the repetitive genome.

Functional restoration of immune defects in STAT1 gain-of-function disease following stem cell gene editing.

Efficient and precise correction of STAT1 GOF mutations by base editing is demonstrated, with maintenance of the correction through long-term engraftment in vivo, which represents the first application of gene editing to correct a dominant gain-of-function mutation causing immunodeficiency.

A unique epigenetic circuitry defines CD8 T cell stemness shared across chronic diseases 2330201

It is found that TSC in chronic infection harbor a LEF1+ TSC pool sharing the core stemness epigenetic and molecular program observed in autoimmune LEF1+ TSC, discovering LEF1 as the master regulator defining T cell stemness and identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention.

Prdm15 deficiency perturbs hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell homeostasis.

It is reported that Prdm15 deficiency in HSPCs induces the accumulation of immature hematopoietic stem cells in mice, establishing PRDM15 as a critical epigenetic regulator of HSPCs, offering valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hematopoietic homeostasis.

RACK1 maintains mouse hematopoietic stem cells by directly binding to and stabilizing LDB1

Single-cell RNA sequencing indicates that adulthood Rack1 deletion in type I interferon-I-responsive cells leads to aberrant lineage-geneset-scores of transcriptional HSCs and the emergence of stressed HSCs, and Mechanistically, RACK1 prevents HSC loss through maintaining the protein level of LDB1.

In-Utero Imprinting of Gene Regulatory Networks Underpinning Innate-Like T Cell Development 2260347

Using mice carrying a mutation in the CBFβ2 isoform, it is demonstrated that CBFβ2 haploinsufficiency rewires transcriptional regulatory circuits in adult bone marrow progenitors, rendering them permissive for an early life-restricted Tγδ17 cells.
