Embargoed media alerts and PIO Tip Sheets

Sign up for a weekly preview of articles to be published in Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), Journal of General Physiology (JGP), and Journal of Human Immunity (JHI) by contacting Rory Williams. Media alerts are for journalists only. Rockefeller University Press (RUP) also posts PIO Tip Sheets in EurekAlert every Tuesday to notify authors’ institutions of articles that have been accepted for publication in RUP journals.

Macrophage immune cells need constant reminders to retain memories of prior infections
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, have discovered that immune cells known as macrophages remain poised to fight repeat infections due to the persistent presence of signaling molecules left behind during previous infections. The study, published February 18 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), provides surprising new details about how the body’s innate immune system retains memories of previous immune threats, and suggests new ways to reduce the activity of misprogrammed macrophages that contribute to autoimmune diseases such as lupus and arthritis.

Malaria: Newly identified “crown” stage controls parasite reproduction
Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle that appears to be crucial for reproduction. This is important because malaria depends on the parasite’s rapid ability to multiply inside the human body, so stopping its reproduction could help prevent severe disease and save lives.

Researchers link Alzheimer’s disease protein to development of preeclampsia
Researchers at Wakayama Medical University in Japan have discovered that amyloid-β deposits disrupt the formation of the placenta and may therefore contribute to the development of preeclampsia during pregnancy. These amyloid-β deposits are similar to those characteristically found in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The findings will be published January 20 in the journal Life Science Alliance.

Switching immune cells to “night mode” could limit damage after a heart attack, study suggests
Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine have identified a way to suppress the daily fluctuations in the activity of key immune cells known as neutrophils. The study, to be published December 12 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), suggests that inhibiting these fluctuations could prevent neutrophils from causing excessive tissue damage during daylight hours, a phenomenon that may underlie the fact that heart attacks in the early morning are more damaging than heart attacks suffered at night.

Embargo policy

Rockefeller University Press (RUP) makes embargoed material available to eligible journalists and public information officers for research articles appearing in its journals: Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), Journal of General Physiology (JGP), and Journal of Human Immunity (JHI). Eligible individuals must agree to follow the terms of the RUP embargo policy:

Stories or reports on research articles may not be published or placed in the public domain until 10:00 a.m. US Eastern Time on the day of publication. Precise embargo dates and times are clearly marked on all advance material.
Public information officers (PIOs) may not distribute embargoed materials in the public domain before the embargo date. However, embargoed materials may be distributed to the media by public information officers. Such releases must be clearly identified as embargoed and must include the embargo date and time. PIOs are responsible for taking all necessary steps to ensure that the embargo is honored by all third parties.
All material from RUP journals can be reused without permission for noncommercial purposes, but must be attributed to the appropriate journal and shared expressly under the same restrictions. See our Creative Commons policy for more information.
