Research Article from Prof. Yin’s Group Published in Genome Medicine
The research article from Prof. Yin’s group, published in Genome Medicine, identifies γδ T cells as a previously underappreciated T cell population in atherosclerosis. In collaboration with the research groups of Prof. Andreas Habenicht and Prof. Sarajo K. Mohanta, this study reveals that murine atherosclerosis is characterized by the enrichment, education, and clonal expansion of proinflammatory γδ T17 (eduT17) cells within plaques and ATLOs. In contrast, human atherosclerotic plaques harbor γδ T cells with cytolytic features, suggesting divergent roles of γδ T cells between species. These findings highlight the importance of the local immune microenvironment in shaping γδ T cell function and underscore the need for caution when extrapolating mechanistic insights from mouse models to human atherosclerosis.

Invited review on artery-brain interfaces in atherosclerosis for Current Atherosclerosis Reports
In collaboration with the AG Mohanta/Habenicht groups at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, we were invited to summarize recent advances in artery-brain circuits (ABCs) in atherosclerosis. ABCs establish bidirectional neuroimmune cardiovascular communication pathways linking the cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems to drive disease progression through both local and systemic mechanisms. In particular, ABCs utilize the arterial adventitia, especially artery tertiary lymphoid organs (ATLOs), as powerful biological platforms to establish local neuroimmune cardiovascular interfaces (NICIs), thereby influencing atherosclerosis progression. In parallel, ABCs also exert distant effects on lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and spleen, promoting hematopoiesis and splenic myelopoiesis and modulating immune cell recruitment into ATLOs and atherosclerotic plaques. Emerging evidence further suggests that vascular inflammation dynamically reshapes adventitial innervation, highlighting reciprocal interactions between neural, immune, and vascular networks during atherosclerosis progression.

Invited review on neuroimmune cardiovascular interfaces for Immunological Reviews
In collaboration with AG Mohanta/Habenicht groups from LMU, Munich, we were invited to summarize the recent research progress on artery tertiary lymphoid organs (ATLOs). We proposed that ATLOs may serve as key hubs to facilitate three tissues interaction, the nervous system, the immune system, and the cardiovascular system. Read Article>>
