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. |

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. |

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.

Nature Immunology Focus on TCR Signaling
The development and effector function of T cells depends on signaling initiated via the T cell antigen receptor (TCR). Nature Immunology presents a Focus on TCR signaling with four specially commissioned Reviews.
