Activation of NF-κB is a common downstream consequence of inflammatory stimulation, yet it achieves stimulus-specific transcriptional responses. In this issue of Immunity, Adelaja et al. use single-cell imaging and computational approaches to understand temporal features of NF-κB dynamics that transmit information about immune threats.

Low-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is a specific category of bladder cancer with a favourable prognosis; however, its management presents several challenges. The risk of stage progression is very low, but approximately half of patients will experience recurrence within the first 5 years after diagnosis. This high propensity for recurrence, coupled with the threat of progression, mandates ongoing surveillance.

Despite an effective combination of antiretroviral therapy, HIV persists as a lifelong infection and global health threat. The human host equips restriction factors and interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes that target every step of the viral life cycle. However, HIV-1 has evolved a coordinated immune evasion strategy using a limited set of accessory proteins with distinct antagonistic functions.

The pivotal role of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) killing of target cells in vivo continues to be underscored by emerging research. CTLs are antigen-specific effector CD8 + T lymphocytes that serve as adaptive defenders against a myriad of threats, including viral infections, cancerous cells, and other pathogenic invaders. In vivo CTL killing assays contemplate the interaction of effector and target cells in the context of a proper microenvironment, making the analysis biologically more relevant than in vitro assays.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is now widely recognized as an important mechanism contributing to host immunity and adaptation. Ladybird beetles, with their diverse diets and habitats, encounter a broad spectrum of microbial threats, making effective immune responses critical for their survival. However, the immune roles of HGT-acquired genes in ladybirds remain largely unexplored.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated economies and strained health care systems worldwide. Vaccination is crucial for outbreak control, but disparities persist between and within countries. In Taiwan, certain indigenous regions show lower vaccination rates, prompting comprehensive inquiries.
