New experiments in #ScienceSignaling present a rational cytokine-engineering strategy to activate immune signaling networks and provide clues about whether the cytokine IL-39 is found in the human body—a longstanding debate in immunology. https://scim.ag/3V8FhQ9
Subunit engineering enables the generation of human interleukin-39 as a proinflammatory cytokine
Rational design enables human cells to produce an inflammatory cytokine that may not be made naturally.

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the heterogeneous landscape of innate lymphoid cells in zebrafish
In this study, Cheng et al. delineate a comprehensive atlas of innate lymphoid cells in zebrafish, unraveling their tissue distribution and developmental origins, and demonstrating interleukin-2 receptor beta as a critical regulator for their immune activity.

These cells were also "armored" with IL15 and IL21 (interleukin 15 and interleukin 21). These are signaling molecules normally produced by your body. In this case, they act synergistically to encourage the CAR T cells to multiply and persist - essentially an immune turbo boost for the therapy.
