TL;DR: It is shown that SCFA–GPR43 interactions profoundly affect inflammatory responses, and GPR43 binding of SCFAs potentially provides a molecular link between diet, gastrointestinal bacterial metabolism, and immune and inflammatory responses.

TL;DR: The identification of glycolysis as a fundamental process in trained immunity further highlights a key regulatory role for metabolism in innate host defense and defines a potential therapeutic target in both infectious and inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of six ulcerative colitis genome-wide association study datasets found many candidate genes that provide potentially important insights into disease pathogenesis, including IL1R2, IL8RA-IL8RB, IL7R, IL12B, DAP, PRDM1, JAK2, IRF5, GNA12 and LSP1.

TL;DR: The epigenetic and transcriptional programs of monocyte differentiation to macrophages that distinguish tolerant and trained macrophage phenotypes are uncovered, providing a resource to further understand and manipulate immune-mediated responses.

TL;DR: A cellular signaling network that regulates necroptosis and the molecular bifurcation that controls apoptosis and ne croptosis is defined and it is shown that the expression of subsets of the 432 genes is enriched in the immune and nervous systems, and cellular sensitivity to necroPTosis is regulated by an extensive signaling network mediating innate immunity.
