Nonspecific effects of neonatal and infant vaccination: public-health, immunological and conceptual challenges   pp895 - 899
Peter Aaby, Tobias R Kollmann and Christine Stabell Benn
doi:10.1038/ni.2961
Neonates represent a challenging group for vaccination. Effective vaccine programs will need to take into account a number of factors including gender and non-specific vaccine effects.

Continued mission of ThPOK   pp900 - 902
Takeshi Egawa
doi:10.1038/ni.2988
ThPOK, the critical transcription factor for differentiation of the helper T cell lineage in the thymus, continues to function as a gatekeeper to maintain helper T cell identity by repressing the transcription factor Runx3 in mature T cells.

Neutrophils worm their way into macrophage long-term memory   pp902 - 904
John R Grainger and Richard K Grencis
doi:10.1038/ni.2990
Neutrophil function is perhaps best studied in bacterial infection, during which they are directly involved in pathogen killing. After helminth invasion, however, neutrophils acquire an alternative transcriptional profile that allows them to 'train' macrophages to acquire long-term protective features.

Bcl-6 gets T cells off the sugar   pp904 - 905
Kevin Man and Axel Kallies
doi:10.1038/ni.2993
The transcriptional regulator Bcl-6 represses aerobic glycolysis in CD8+ and CD4+ type 1 helper T cells.

High endothelial venules through a transcriptomics lens   pp906 - 908
Steven D Rosen and Richard Daneman
doi:10.1038/ni.2994
Transcriptional profiling of endothelial cells from diverse secondary lymphoid organs reveals distinctions that underlie their functional specification.

Emerging functions of the unfolded protein response in immunity   pp910 - 919
Sophie Janssens, Bali Pulendran and Bart N Lambrecht
doi:10.1038/ni.2991
The ER stress response is a well-characterized process aimed at restoring ER function. Lambrecht et al. explore how ER stress can also intersect with the innate and adaptive immune response at multiple levels.

Articles

Diversification of TAM receptor tyrosine kinase function   pp920 - 928
Anna Zagórska, Paqui G Través, Erin D Lew, Ian Dransfield and Greg Lemke
doi:10.1038/ni.2986
The clearance of apoptotic cells requires recognition by members of the TAM receptor tyrosine kinase family. Lemke and colleagues show that the TAM receptors Mer and Axl have distinct functions in tolerance induction and proinflammatory responses, respectively.

Constant replenishment from circulating monocytes maintains the macrophage pool in the intestine of adult mice   pp929 - 937
Calum C Bain, Alberto Bravo-Blas, Charlotte L Scott, Elisa Gomez Perdiguero, Frederic Geissmann et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2967
Many tissue-resident macrophages are derived from embryonic precursors. Mowat and colleagues show that embryonic precursor cells seed gut tissues but at weaning transition to a bone marrow-derived macrophage population that requires continual replenishment.

Neutrophils prime a long-lived effector macrophage phenotype that mediates accelerated helminth expulsion   pp938 - 946
Fei Chen, Wenhui Wu, Ariel Millman, Joshua F Craft, Eunice Chen et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2984
The role of neutrophils in helminth infection has been relatively unclear. Gause and colleagues demonstrate that neutrophils are involved in the priming of an M2 macrophage response that mediates long-term protection against helminth infection.

A ThPOK-LRF transcriptional node maintains the integrity and effector potential of post-thymic CD4+ T cells   pp947 - 956
Melanie S Vacchio, Lie Wang, Nicolas Bouladoux, Andrea C Carpenter, Yumei Xiong et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2960
The transcription factor ThPOK promotes CD4+ T cell differentiation in the thymus. Bosselut and colleagues show that ThPOK maintains CD4+ T lineage integrity and is required for proper TH1 and TH2 differentiation.

Bcl-6 directly represses the gene program of the glycolysis pathway   pp957 - 964
Kenneth J Oestreich, Kaitlin A Read, Sarah E Gilbertson, Kenneth P Hough, Paul W McDonald et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2985
Cellular metabolism seems to dictate immune responses. Weinmann and colleagues show that the transcription factor Bcl-6 opposes the action of c-Myc and Hif-1α to suppress expression of genes encoding key glycolytic enzymes and transporters.

The kinase p38 activated by the metabolic regulator AMPK and scaffold TAB1 drives the senescence of human T cells   pp965 - 972
Alessio Lanna, Sian M Henson, David Escors and Arne N Akbar
doi:10.1038/ni.2981
Senescent T cells have increased activity of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38. Akbar and colleagues show that such cells lack the canonical and alternative p38-activation pathways and instead induce kinase AMPK-dependent autophosphorylation of p38.

B cell homeostasis and follicle confines are governed by fibroblastic reticular cells   pp973 - 981
Viviana Cremasco, Matthew C Woodruff, Lucas Onder, Jovana Cupovic, Janice M Nieves-Bonilla et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2965
Naive B and T cells exist in discrete zones in lymph nodes. Turley and colleagues demonstrate that a distinct subset of fibroblastic reticular cells reside in B cell zones, where they sustain B cell survival by providing BAFF.

Transcriptional programs of lymphoid tissue capillary and high endothelium reveal control mechanisms for lymphocyte homing   pp982 - 995
Mike Lee, Helena Kiefel, Melissa D LaJevic, Matthew S Macauley, Edward O'Hara et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2983
High endothelial vessels (HEVs) provide the conduit for blood-borne leukocytes to enter lymph nodes. Butcher and colleagues report transcriptional profiles of various endothelial cell populations that can explain functional differences of homing-molecule modifications.
