Are you sure your cells are really alive? Find your zombie cells using Apoptag® apoptosis detection assays. If your assay only detects the late stage of apoptosis, you may be a victim of the zombie cell apocalypse. Apoptosis occurs in a variety of stages. Over 10,000 publications have used Apoptag® assays to detect cell death events with better sensitivity and reproducibility than exclusion dyes like.

Biomedical ethics education may benefit from integrating compliance and analysis approaches   pp605 - 608
Michael D Mumford, Logan L Watts, Kelsey E Medeiros, Tyler J Mulhearn, Logan M Steele et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3465
Two approaches have been widely applied in ethics education in the biomedical sciences: field-specific compliance and professional decision processes. Both approaches offer unique benefits to trainees, but future courses that integrate these two approaches might prove particularly valuable.

Eosinophils and mast cells: a lineage apart   pp609 - 611
Sandrine Sarrazin and Michael H Sieweke
doi:10.1038/ni.3446
Single-cell transcriptome analysis has identified progenitor populations with mast-cell and eosinophil potential that are distinct from the neutrophil-monocyte lineage, segregate early in hematopoietic development and can be discriminated by expression of the transcription factor GATA-1.

ILC2s masquerade as ILC1s to drive chronic disease   pp611 - 612
Gabrielle T Belz
doi:10.1038/ni.3467
Tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) perform diverse roles in regulating mucosal homeostasis and inflammation. The transdifferentiation of ILC2s into interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-producing ILC1-like cells generates a highly inflammatory immune cell.

Protein glycosylation energizes T cells   pp613 - 614
Won Ho Yang and Jamey D Marth
doi:10.1038/ni.3468
Nutrient transport is regulated by signaling pathways that together indicate metabolic checkpoints in T cell self-renewal, differentiation and proliferation.

Tcf1 and Lef1 pack their own HDAC   pp615 - 616
Charles P Ng and Dan R Littman
doi:10.1038/ni.3469
The transcription factors Tcf1 and Lef1 have intrinsic histone-deacetylase activity that is required for the repression of CD4+ T cell-lineage genes in CD8+ T cells.

Immunometabolism of regulatory T cells   pp618 - 625
Ryan Newton, Bhavana Priyadharshini and Laurence A Turka
doi:10.1038/ni.3466
Whole-body metabolism can affect immune-cell function and vice versa. Turka and colleagues review the unique metabolic properties of Treg cells and how this relates to their function and the outcome of immune responses.

Inflammatory triggers associated with exacerbations of COPD orchestrate plasticity of group 2 innate lymphoid cells in the lungs   pp626 - 635
Jonathan S Silver, Jennifer Kearley, Alan M Copenhaver, Caroline Sanden, Michiko Mori et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3443
Group 1 and 3 innate lymphoid cells can be functionally plastic. Humbles and colleagues find that group 2 innate lymphoid cells in the lungs also exhibit phenotypic plasticity after exposure to infectious or noxious agents.

IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-12 control the fate of group 2 innate lymphoid cells in human airway inflammation in the lungs   pp636 - 645
Suzanne M Bal, Jochem H Bernink, Maho Nagasawa, Jelle Groot, Medya M Shikhagaie et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3444
Transdifferentiation between group 1 and group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) has been observed in the gut. Spits and colleagues now show lung ILC2s are able to convert into ILC1s in an IL-12-dependent manner.

IL-1 is a critical regulator of group 2 innate lymphoid cell function and plasticity   pp646 - 655
Yoichiro Ohne, Jonathan S Silver, LuAnn Thompson-Snipes, Magalie A Collet, Jean Philippe Blanck et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3447
Cytokines of the IL-1 family have a range of effects on innate lymphoid cells. Liu and colleagues find that IL-1 facilitates the maturation and plasticity of group 2 innate lymphoid cells.

Arginase 1 is an innate lymphoid-cell-intrinsic metabolic checkpoint controlling type 2 inflammation   pp656 - 665
Laurel A Monticelli, Michael D Buck, Anne-Laure Flamar, Steven A Saenz, Elia D Tait Wojno et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3421
The cell-intrinsic pathways controlling the function of innate lymphoid cells are poorly defined. Artis and colleagues demonstrate that ILC2s selectively express arginase 1 and that this is critical for their bioenergetics, proliferation and function.

Distinct myeloid progenitor-differentiation pathways identified through single-cell RNA sequencing   pp666 - 676
Roy Drissen, Natalija Buza-Vidas, Petter Woll, Supat Thongjuea, Adriana Gambardella et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3412
Using single-cell transcriptome profiling of pre-granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells, Nerlov and colleagues identify an early hematopoietic lineage bifurcation that segregates mast cells, eosinophils, megakaryocytes and erythroid cells from monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis induces the miR-33 locus to reprogram autophagy and host lipid metabolism   pp677 - 686
Mireille Ouimet, Stefan Koster, Erik Sakowski, Bhama Ramkhelawon, Coen van Solingen et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3434
Moore and colleagues show that Mycobacterium tuberculosis induces miR-33 and miR-33* in macrophages to inhibit integrated pathways involved in autophagy, lysosomal function and fatty acid oxidation, and to support bacterial replication.

Constitutive aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling constrains type I interferon-mediated antiviral innate defense   pp687 - 694
Taisho Yamada, Hiromasa Horimoto, Takeshi Kameyama, Sumio Hayakawa, Hiroaki Yamato et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3422
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) has well-described roles in the differentiation of T cells; however, less is known about its function in innate immunity. Takaoka and colleagues demonstrate how an AHR-dependent pathway reins in production of type I interferon.

Tcf1 and Lef1 transcription factors establish CD8+ T cell identity through intrinsic HDAC activity   pp695 - 703
Shaojun Xing, Fengyin Li, Zhouhao Zeng, Yunjie Zhao, Shuyang Yu et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3456
Xue and colleagues show that the transcription factors Tcf1 and Lef1 suppress CD4+ T lineage genes in CD8+ T cells through intrinsic histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity.

Asymmetric inheritance of mTORC1 kinase activity during division dictates CD8+ T cell differentiation   pp704 - 711
Kristen N Pollizzi, Im-Hong Sun, Chirag H Patel, Ying-Chun Lo, Min-Hee Oh et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3438
Asymmetric division can generate effector and memory CD8+ T cell precursors. Powell and colleagues show asymmetric partitioning of mTORC1 activity upon CD8+ T cell division, which results in distinct metabolic programming of daughter T cells.

Glucose and glutamine fuel protein O-GlcNAcylation to control T cell self-renewal and malignancy   pp712 - 720
Mahima Swamy, Shalini Pathak, Katarzyna M Grzes, Sebastian Damerow, Linda V Sinclair et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3439
Intracellular proteins are regulated by multiple post-translation modifications. Cantrell and colleagues show that nutrient flux regulates intracellular protein modification by O-GlcNAcylation, which drives thymocyte development and T cell proliferation.

TCR signal strength controls thymic differentiation of discrete proinflammatory γδ T cell subsets   pp721 - 727
Miguel Muñoz-Ruiz, Julie C Ribot, Ana R Grosso, Natacha Gonçalves-Sousa, Ana Pamplona et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3424
The thymus produces γδ T cell subsets making either IFN-γ or IL-17. Silva-Santos and colleagues show that TCR signal strength within specific developmental windows is a major determinant of the generation of these γδ T cell subsets.

Innate-like functions of natural killer T cell subsets result from highly divergent gene programs   pp728 - 739
Isaac Engel, Grégory Seumois, Lukas Chavez, Daniela Samaniego-Castruita, Brandie White et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3437
Invariant natural killer T cells recognize lipid antigens presented by CD1d molecules and are capable of copious cytokine production. Kronenberg and colleagues show that distinct transcriptional and epigenetic profiles can be ascribed to the NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17 subsets of these cells.
