RNA-binding proteins, the guardians of the marginal zone   pp595 - 597
Palaniraja Thandapani, Beatriz Aranda-Orgilles and Iannis Aifantis
doi:10.1038/ni.3752
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) take control of binary cell-fate 'decisions' and cellular identity in lymphoid organs, as the RBP ZFP36L1 is shown to negatively regulate the stability of the transcription factors KLF2 and IRF8 to control the maintenance, survival and localization of marginal zone B cells.

STAT5 alters the state of transcriptional networks, driving aggressive leukemia   pp597 - 598
Sinisa Dovat and Kimberly J Payne
doi:10.1038/ni.3747
The transcription factor STAT5 acts as an oncoprotein in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, competing with the transcription factors NF-κB and Ikaros for binding to DNA.

Alternative monocytes settle in for the long term   pp599 - 600
Allan McI Mowat and Calum C Bain
doi:10.1038/ni.3749
Monocytes recruited to the peritoneum under conditions of a type 2 inflammatory reaction can convert into resident-type macrophages under the control of vitamin A.

Unusual suspects: dancing with stromal cells   pp601 - 602
Gabrielle T Belz and Francisca F Almeida
doi:10.1038/ni.3741
M cells sample gut lumenal antigens and microbes to induce gut immune responses. A novel population of stromal cell—the M cell inducers—are essential for sustaining M cell differentiation and bacteria-specific production of immunoglobulin A to maintain the gut-immune system symbiosis.

IL-17+ γδ T cells as kick-starters of inflammation   pp604 - 611
Pedro H Papotto, Julie C Ribot and Bruno Silva-Santos
doi:10.1038/ni.3726
Silva-Santos and colleagues review the activation and pathophysiological functions of γδ17 T cells during inflammatory responses.

Interleukin 17 is a chief orchestrator of immunity   pp612 - 621
Marc Veldhoen
doi:10.1038/ni.3742
Although interleukin 17 (IL-17) has modest activity on its own, it has a substantial impact in immunity through its synergistic action with other factors and its self-sustaining feedback loop. Veldhoen discusses the role of IL-17 during infections.

S100-alarmin-induced innate immune programming protects newborn infants from sepsis   pp622 - 632
Thomas Ulas, Sabine Pirr, Beate Fehlhaber, Marie S Bickes, Torsten G Loof et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3745
Neonates are thought to have impaired immune responses, yet, paradoxically, they can also demonstrate hyperinflammation. Ulas et al. show that a neonatal burst of the alarmins S100A8 and S100A9 activates a distinct innate immune response without dangerous hyperinflammation.

Mice deficient in NRROS show abnormal microglial development and neurological disorders   pp633 - 641
Kit Wong, Rajkumar Noubade, Paolo Manzanillo, Naruhisa Ota, Oded Foreman et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3743
Microglia are the tissue-resident macrophages of the brain. Ouyang and colleagues show the ER-resident transmembrane protein NRROS is necessary for proper development and function of microglia. Mice lacking NRROS exhibit neurologic defects and die prematurely.

Vitamin A mediates conversion of monocyte-derived macrophages into tissue-resident macrophages during alternative activation   pp642 - 653
Uma Mahesh Gundra, Natasha M Girgis, Michael A Gonzalez, Mei San Tang, Hendrik J P Van Der Zande et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3734
Loke and colleagues show that vitamin A is required for the conversion of interleukin 4 (IL-4)-activated monocyte-derived macrophages into macrophages with a tissue-resident phenotype in the peritoneal cavity and in S. mansoni-induced liver granulomas in mice.

A self-sustained loop of inflammation-driven inhibition of beige adipogenesis in obesity   pp654 - 664
Kyoung-Jin Chung, Antonios Chatzigeorgiou, Matina Economopoulou, Ruben Garcia-Martin, Vasileia I Alexaki et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3728
Obesity is commonly accompanied by inflammatory responses in white adipose tissues. Chavakis and colleagues identify a vicious cycle involving α4 integrins and the adhesion molecule VCAM-1 that promotes inflammatory macrophage-adipocyte interactions and suppresses beige adipogenesis.

Brown-adipose-tissue macrophages control tissue innervation and homeostatic energy expenditure   pp665 - 674
Yochai Wolf, Sigalit Boura-Halfon, Nina Cortese, Zhana Haimon, Hadas Sar Shalom et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3746
Macrophages serve important functions in defense and tissue homeostasis. Jung and colleagues demonstrate that a resident population of macrophages controls the innervation of brown adipose tissue and thereby regulates energy use.

Identification of subepithelial mesenchymal cells that induce IgA and diversify gut microbiota   pp675 - 682
Kazuki Nagashima, Shinichiro Sawa, Takeshi Nitta, Masanori Tsutsumi, Tadashi Okamura et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3732
IgA is necessary for maintaining gut homeostasis, and its production depends on microbial sampling by the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Takayanagi and colleagues identify a novel population of mesenchymal cells in the GALT that control M cell differentiation and function of gut epithelium.

Maintenance of the marginal-zone B cell compartment specifically requires the RNA-binding protein ZFP36L1   pp683 - 693
Rebecca Newman, Helena Ahlfors, Alexander Saveliev, Alison Galloway, Daniel J Hodson et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3724
Turner and colleagues show that the RNA-binding protein ZFP36L1 regulates a post-transcriptional hub that determines the identity of marginal-zone B cells by promoting their localization and survival.

Antagonism of B cell enhancer networks by STAT5 drives leukemia and poor patient survival   pp694 - 704
Casey D S Katerndahl, Lynn M Heltemes-Harris, Mark J L Willette, Christine M Henzler, Seth Frietze et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3716
Transcription factors compete for superenhancer sites and have antagonist functions. Farrar and colleagues identify regulatory competition between STAT5 and IKAROS or NF-κB in B cells and show that the ratio of STAT5 to IKAROS or to NF-κB can serve as a prognostic marker of disease severity of the leukemia B-ALL.
