25-Hydroxycholesterol Reprograms Tumor Macrophages
2026-09-01
Xiao et al. identify CH25H and lysosomal 25-hydroxycholesterol as an immunometabolic checkpoint that connects sterol handling to AMPKα–STAT6 signaling in tumor-associated macrophages. The study shows that targeting this axis can improve T-cell surveillance and enhance anti-PD-1 efficacy, providing a mechanistic framework for studying macrophage-mediated tumor immune suppression.

Early Life Adversity, Oxytocin, and Innate Fear
2026-08-31
Tan and colleagues show that social deprivation during a defined early-life window weakens looming-evoked innate defensive behavior in mice through reduced oxytocin signaling in the intermediate and deep superior colliculus. By combining behavioral testing, receptor knockdown, circuit analysis, and intranasal oxytocin rescue, the study connects early adversity with a specific threat-processing pathway while highlighting important limits for clinical translation.
