Call for Epigenetics Collaborations
MRC Technology, AstraZeneca, Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation are funding collaborations on epigenetic targets to develop novel therapies for respiratory disease including asthma and COPD. We're interested in hearing from researchers who've identified epigenetic pathways/targets involved in respiratory disease or immune regulation. Deadline: 31 Oct 2016 Click here

Nature Reviews Cancer Focus on Tumour Metabolism

This Focus explores the dynamic and varied metabolism in tumour cells, discussing the importance of these pathways for many tumorigenic processes, such as tumour progression, survival, growth, epigenetic changes and how these can be translated to the clinic.

Immunity without innate lymphoid cells   pp1237 - 1238
Robert Weinkove, Kara Filbey and Graham Le Gros
doi:10.1038/ni.3567
A cohort of immunodeficient children lead near-normal lives after bone marrow transplantation, despite a profound deficiency of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs).

How MAIT cells get their start   pp1238 - 1240
Haiguang Wang and Kristin A Hogquist
doi:10.1038/ni.3584
By taking advantage of an MR1 tetramer to accurately detect mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in both mice and humans, researchers defined the thymic development of MAIT cells.

Glioma and microglia, a double entendre   pp1240 - 1242
Korneel Grauwet and E Antonio Chiocca
doi:10.1038/ni.3586
Microglia are important facilitators of glioma proliferation and invasion. An important component of this process seems to be glioma-mediated suppression of microglial activation via S-nitrosylation of microglial caspase-3.

Epithelial glycosylation in gut homeostasis and inflammation   pp1244 - 1251
Yoshiyuki Goto, Satoshi Uematsu and Hiroshi Kiyono
doi:10.1038/ni.3587
Epithelial cells of the gut are heavily glycosylated. Kiyono and colleagues review the evidence for the importance of this glycosylation to immunity, host-microbiome interactions and immunopathology.

Infection-specific phosphorylation of glutamyl-prolyl tRNA synthetase induces antiviral immunity   pp1252 - 1262
Eun-Young Lee, Hyun-Cheol Lee, Hyun-Kwan Kim, Song Yee Jang, Seong-Jun Park et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3542
tRNA synthetases are essential to protein synthesis. Kim and colleagues identify a non-translational function for glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase during viral infection that promotes the anti-viral activity of the antiviral signaling protein MAVS.

CCL19-CCR7-dependent reverse transendothelial migration of myeloid cells clears Chlamydia muridarum from the arterial intima   pp1263 - 1272
Mark Roufaiel, Eric Gracey, Allan Siu, Su-Ning Zhu, Andrew Lau et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3564
Cybulsky and colleagues show that myeloid cells in the arterial intima undergo reverse transendothelial migration into the arterial circulation that is dependent on the chemokine CCL19 and its receptor CCR7.

The mucin MUC1 modulates the tumor immunological microenvironment through engagement of the lectin Siglec-9   pp1273 - 1281
Richard Beatson, Virginia Tajadura-Ortega, Daniela Achkova, Gianfranco Picco, Theodora-Dorita Tsourouktsoglou et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3552
Tumor cells commonly express abnormally glycosylated glycoproteins such as MUC1. Burchell and colleagues show that tumor-specific MUC1-ST interacts with the lectin Siglec-9 on myeloid cells and induces their conversion into suppressive tumor-associated macrophages.

Glioma-induced inhibition of caspase-3 in microglia promotes a tumor-supportive phenotype   pp1282 - 1290
Xianli Shen, Miguel A Burguillos, Ahmed M Osman, Jeroen Frijhoff, Alejandro Carrillo-Jiménez et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3545
Gliomas recruit and manipulate microglial function to promote their growth. Joseph and colleagues reveal the molecular basis of this manipulation by showing that gliomas trigger S-nitrosylation of microglial caspase-3 and thereby initiate a tumor-promoting phenotype.

Evidence of innate lymphoid cell redundancy in humans   pp1291 - 1299
Frédéric Vély, Vincent Barlogis, Blandine Vallentin, Bénédicte Neven, Christelle Piperoglou et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3553
The importance of human innate lymphoid cells to normal human physiology is unclear. Vivier and colleagues find that immunodeficient patients 'rescued' with normal bone marrow can recover their T cells but not their innate lymphoid cells, yet remain entirely asymptomatic for nearly 40 years.

A three-stage intrathymic development pathway for the mucosal-associated invariant T cell lineage   pp1300 - 1311
Hui-Fern Koay, Nicholas A Gherardin, Anselm Enders, Liyen Loh, Laura K Mackay et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3565
Godfrey, Pellicci and colleagues define the developmental stages and checkpoints for the development of mucosal-associated invariant T cells in humans and mice.

The ubiquitin ligase Huwe1 regulates the maintenance and lymphoid commitment of hematopoietic stem cells   pp1312 - 1321
Bryan King, Francesco Boccalatte, Kelly Moran-Crusio, Elmar Wolf, Jingjing Wang et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3559
The longevity of hematopoietic stem cells requires strict regulation to prevent their exhaustion. Aifantis and colleagues show that the ubiquitin E3 ligase Huwe1 is needed to suppress the activity of the transcription factor N-myc and maintain the quiescence and function of these cells.

An essential role for the IL-2 receptor in Treg cell function   pp1322 - 1333
Takatoshi Chinen, Arun K Kannan, Andrew G Levine, Xiying Fan, Ulf Klein et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3540
The cytokine receptor IL-2R is essential for the development of Treg cells; therefore, it has been difficult to separate this from its role in the suppressive function of Treg cells. Rudensky and colleagues use various genetic systems to show that capture of IL-2 by IL-2R is important for suppression of CD8+ T cells but not that of CD4+ T cells.
