Introducing Emerging Microbes & Infections (EMI) - Just launched
EMI aims to provide a forum to publish articles related to all aspects of emerging pathogens, such as their previously unknown genotypic or phenotypic characteristics, their mechanisms of pathogenesis and evasion of immunity, and the diseases they cause.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Top

T cell responses: Silent commitment
p549 | doi:10.1038/nri3268
Gene-silencing mechanisms promote stable commitment to different T helper cell lineages.
PDF


Mucosal immunology: IL-22 keeps commensals in their place
p550 | doi:10.1038/nri3263
Innate lymphoid cells help to retain commensal bacteria in anatomical niches and prevent systemic inflammation.
PDF


Dendritic cells: A hairy pathway for migration
p550 | doi:10.1038/nri3264
A population of precursor Langerhans cells is recruited to the epidermis via hair follicles.
PDF


Inflammation: Coordinating antimicrobial activity and wound repair
p552 | doi:10.1038/nri3260
Linking the high levels of antimicrobial activity and keratinocyte hyperproliferation in psoriatic skin lesions.
PDF


Inflammation: IL-23 tees off enthesitis
p552 | doi:10.1038/nri3269
IL-23 activates innate-like entheseal T cells to promote spondyloarthritis in mice.
PDF


Tolerance: PD1 — a multitasking receptor
p553 | doi:10.1038/nri3266
PD1 inhibits T cell proliferation by targeting multiple cell cycle regulators.
PDF


Mucosal immunology: Any old bugs won't do
p554 | doi:10.1038/nri3270
The host-specific microbiota is essential for a healthy immune system.
PDF


Tolerance: Induced TReg cells evolved to protect the fetus
p554 | doi:10.1038/nri3274
Induced regulatory T cells emerged to protect allogeneic fetuses from immune-mediated attack.
PDF


Tumour immunology: Suppressing the rejection of pancreatic tumours
p555 | doi:10.1038/nri3267
KRAS-transformed pancreatic tumour cells produce GM-CSF, which recruits MDSCs to promote an immunosuppressive microenvironment.
PDF



IN BRIEF

T cells: Embryonic thymus required for IL-17-producing γδ T cells | Thymocytes: Self-renewing thymocytes | Autoimmunity: GWASs can explain why the drugs don't work | Tumour immunology: TH9 cells tackle tumours | Parasite immunity: γδ T cells boost DC responses to malaria

REVIEWS

Cross-presentation by dendritic cells
Olivier P. Joffre, Elodie Segura, Ariel Savina & Sebastian Amigorena
p557 | doi:10.1038/nri3254
This Review integrates recent evidence regarding the intracellular trafficking pathways involved in cross-presentation into our understanding of the role of cross-presentation in immunity and tolerance.

Lighting the fires within: the cell biology of autoinflammatory diseases
Heiyoung Park, Ariel Bulua Bourla, Daniel L. Kastner, Robert A. Colbert & Richard M. Siegel
p570 | doi:10.1038/nri3261
Patients with autoinflammatory diseases develop pathological tissue inflammation in the absence of any autoreactive B or T cell responses. Recent studies have shown that defective regulation of pro-inflammatory immune components or protein handling pathways can provoke such autoinflammatory attacks. This Review describes the latest findings in the field and discusses their therapeutic significance.

The immunological life cycle of tuberculosis
Joel D. Ernst
p581 | doi:10.1038/nri3259
Here, Joel Ernst proposes that there are distinct stages in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis that form an 'immunological life cycle'. The description of this framework can help the understanding and study of immunity to tuberculosis in humans and animal models.

Recent progress in mucosal vaccine development: potential and limitations
Nils Lycke
p592 | doi:10.1038/nri3251
This Review summarizes the past, current and future directions for the development of mucosal vaccines, with a particular focus on the importance of the formulation, the route of administration and the choice of adjuvant for the induction of protective mucosal immunity.

p607 | doi:10.1038/nri3262
The development of effective antiretroviral therapies has greatly improved the disease prognosis for patients with HIV. However, the limitations of these therapies have renewed interest in developing alternative treatment strategies. Here, a group of experts from the International AIDS Society discuss the research steps that need to be taken to achieve the ultimate objective — a cure for HIV.
