Benjamin and colleagues investigate the role of MyD88/TLR signalling in macrophage mediated recognition and clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi. Using MyD88−/− BMDMs they show that spriochete uptake is impaired but MyD88 is not required for bacterial uptake or phagosomal maturation.

Lee and colleagues demonstrated that CD3−CD122+NK1.1+ precursor Natural Killer (pNK) cells express TREM2 and TREM2 overexpression in a mouse model increases the pNK population. Their work highlights a role for TREM2 in NK cell development and investigates a possible role in tumour regression.

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
