Universal influenza virus vaccines: need for clinical trials   pp3 - 5
Florian Krammer and Peter Palese
doi:10.1038/ni.2761
To overcome the limitations of seasonal influenza virus vaccines and enhance our pandemic preparedness, influenza virus vaccines that provide universal and long-lasting protection are needed.

Outflanking HCV   pp6 - 8
Zhigang Tian
doi:10.1038/ni.2783
Studies have linked polymorphisms near the gene encoding interferon-λ3 (IFNL3) to clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV). One such favorable polymorphism operates by stabilizing IFNL3 mRNA via a decrease in AU-rich element-mediated decay as well as the binding of HCV-induced host microRNAs.

A new VEGF connection between two old neighbors   pp8 - 9
Marina Cella and Giorgio Trinchieri
doi:10.1038/ni.2786
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells express the microRNA miR-126, which controls their survival and effector functions via the receptor VEGFR2.

Neutrophil recruitment: perivascular macrophages 'duke it out' with Staphylococcus aureus   pp10 - 11
Francis W Luscinskas
doi:10.1038/ni.2793
Control of infection with Staphylococcus aureus relies on the production of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines by perivascular macrophages. S. aureus counterattacks by secreting α-hemolysin, which lyses tissue macrophages.

Innate TCRs: single use only   pp12 - 13
Tom Cupedo and Janneke N Samsom
doi:10.1038/ni.2792
Innate-like T cells are dependent on triggering via the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) for development but subsequently actively alter their TCR responsiveness to allow an innate mode of activation that no longer requires TCR signaling.

NF-κB control of T cell development   pp15 - 25
Steve Gerondakis, Thomas S Fulford, Nicole L Messina and Raelene J Grumont
doi:10.1038/ni.2785
The transcription factor NF-κB is required for T cell effector function. Gerondakis and colleagues discuss the role of NF-κB in T cell development.

Articles

Two waves of distinct hematopoietic progenitor cells colonize the fetal thymus   pp27 - 35
Cyrille Ramond, Claire Berthault, Odile Burlen-Defranoux, Ana Pereira de Sousa, Delphine Guy-Grand et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2782
The identity of the thymus-seeding progenitor cells has been a matter of debate. Cumano and colleagues report that early and late embryonic progenitor cells differ in their T cell-B cell lineage potential and capacity for population expansion and differentiation.

Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor A is an intrinsic, self-limiting suppressor of IL-5-induced eosinophil development   pp36 - 44
Netali Ben Baruch-Morgenstern, Dana Shik, Itay Moshkovits, Michal Itan, Danielle Karo-Atar et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2757
Paired immunoglobulin-like receptors (PIRs) recognize β2-microglobulin. Munitz and colleagues show that PIR-A and PIR-B have opposing roles in eosinophil development in response to interleukin 5 in the bone marrow.

Perivascular macrophages mediate neutrophil recruitment during bacterial skin infection   pp45 - 53
Arby Abtin, Rohit Jain, Andrew J Mitchell, Ben Roediger, Anthony J Brzoska et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2769
Weninger and colleagues show that perivascular macrophages are critical for neutrophil migration into skin infected with Staphylococcus aureus and that the pathogen uses hemolysin-dependent killing of these cells as an immune evasion strategy.

The miR-126-VEGFR2 axis controls the innate response to pathogen-associated nucleic acids   pp54 - 62
Judith Agudo, Albert Ruzo, Navpreet Tung, Hélène Salmon, Marylène Leboeuf et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2767
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells produce copious amounts of type I interferon in response to viral infection. Brown and colleagues show that the homeostasis and function of these cells are regulated by the microRNA miR-126.

GEF-H1 controls microtubule-dependent sensing of nucleic acids for antiviral host defenses   pp63 - 71
Hao-Sen Chiang, Yun Zhao, Joo-Hye Song, Song Liu, Ninghai Wang et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2766
RIG-I-like receptors are important inducers of innate immunity. Reinecker and colleagues find that activation of the microtubule-associated guanine nucleotide exchange factor GEF-H1 is essential for sensing of foreign RNA by these receptors.

The favorable IFNL3 genotype escapes mRNA decay mediated by AU-rich elements and hepatitis C virus-induced microRNAs   pp72 - 79
Adelle P McFarland, Stacy M Horner, Abigail Jarret, Rochelle C Joslyn, Eckart Bindewald et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2758
Polymorphisms near genes encoding members of the IFN-λ family are associated with susceptibility or resistance to hepatitis C virus. Savan and colleagues show that differences in the stability of transcripts of those genes underlie the mechanism of resistance to that virus.

Innate-like T cells straddle innate and adaptive immunity by altering antigen-receptor responsiveness   pp80 - 87
Melanie Wencker, Gleb Turchinovich, Rafael Di Marco Barros, Livija Deban, Anett Jandke et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2773
T cell hyporesponsiveness is generally framed in terms of tolerance induction. Hayday and colleagues show that attenuating TCR responsiveness is also critical for the development of innate-like T cells that mediate the surveillance of dysregulated tissues.

Dominant-activating germline mutations in the gene encoding the PI(3)K catalytic subunit p110δ result in T cell senescence and human immunodeficiency   pp88 - 97
Carrie L Lucas, Hye Sun Kuehn, Fang Zhao, Julie E Niemela, Elissa K Deenick et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2771
Lymphocyte function is regulated by phosphatidylinositol-dependent pathways. Uzel and colleagues identify a cohort of immunodeficient patients with hyperactive phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase activity due to mutant p110δ subunits, which results in enhanced senescence of cells of the immune system.

Comparative transcriptional and functional profiling defines conserved programs of intestinal DC differentiation in humans and mice   pp98 - 108
Payal B Watchmaker, Katharina Lahl, Mike Lee, Dirk Baumjohann, John Morton et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2768
Dendritic cells (DCs) that orchestrate mucosal immunity have been studied in mice. Lahl and colleagues characterize human gut DC populations and define their relationship to previously described human and mouse DCs.

Antibody-drug conjugates for cancer therapy 

Several antibody-drug conjugates have been approved for clinical use in a variety of solid and hematological tumors, with many more in human testing. Nature Biotechnology presents a poster by Dario Neri of ETH Zurich describing the various linker strategies, cytotoxic payloads and mechanisms/sites of action of these drugs.
