- IL-1R1–dependent signaling coordinates epithelial regeneration in response to intestinal damage
IL-1 acts on stromal and innate lymphoid cells to coordinate the repair response to distinct types of intestinal damage.
- The AIM2 and NLRP3 inflammasomes trigger IL-1–mediated antitumor effects during radiation
Radiation activates AIM2 and NLRP3 inflammasomes to enhance IL-1 signaling on DCs, leading to antitumor immunity.

CDK4/6 inhibitor–treated breast cancer cells recruit T cells via metabolic stress-induced chemokines.
About The Cover
ONLINE COVER Stromal Cell Specialization. This month's cover shows dual in situ hybridization detection of mRNA for R-spondin 3 (Rspo3) and the alpha chain of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (Pdgfra) in mouse colon sections on day 11 after infection with Citrobacter rodentium. Pdgfra (red) is expressed in subepithelial fibroblasts while Rspo3 (blue) is selectively expressed in a subset of Grem1+ mesenchymal cells in the muscularis mucosae layer. Cox et al. identified IL-1–induced expression of R-spondin 3, a Wnt signaling pathway agonist, as a key contributor to epithelial restitution. [CREDIT: CHRISTIAN B. COX/GENENTECH, INC.]
