| The identity and function of microglia in neurodegeneration pp1048 - 1058 Wilbur M. Song & Marco Colonna doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0212-1 Song and Colonna provide an overview of the common microglial response to neurodegeneration and discuss insights from mouse models and the study of human disease-associated genes. |

| Infection perturbs Bach2- and Bach1-dependent erythroid lineage ‘choice’ to cause anemia pp1059 - 1070 Hiroki Kato, Ari Itoh-Nakadai, Mitsuyo Matsumoto, Yusho Ishii, Miki Watanabe-Matsui et al. doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0202-3 Environmental cues instruct cell fate during hematopoiesis. Igarashi and colleagues show that the transcription factors Bach1 and Bach2 promote erythropoiesis and suppress myelopoiesis. Infection and inflammatory signals suppress Bach expression, which results in anemia. |

| Combating herpesvirus encephalitis by potentiating a TLR3–mTORC2 axis pp1071 - 1082 Ryota Sato, Akihisa Kato, Takahiko Chimura, Shin-Ichiroh Saitoh, Takuma Shibata et al. doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0203-2 The receptor TLR3 is essential for effective responses to herpes simplex virus type 1. Miyake and colleagues demonstrate that a neuron- and astrocyte-intrinsic pathway of TLR3 and the metabolic checkpoint kinase complex mTORC2 is needed to prevent fulminant infection with this virus and encephalitis. |

| NK cell receptor NKG2D sets activation threshold for the NCR1 receptor early in NK cell development pp1083 - 1092 Vedrana Jelenčić, Marko Šestan, Inga Kavazović, Maja Lenartić, Sonja Marinović et al. doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0209-9 Polić and colleagues show that the activating receptor NKG2D specifically sets the activation threshold for the activating receptor NCR1, providing a mechanism distinct from previously known mechanisms of NK cell education. |

 |
| Tissue signals imprint ILC2 identity with anticipatory function pp1093 - 1099 Roberto R. Ricardo-Gonzalez, Steven J. Van Dyken, Christoph Schneider, Jinwoo Lee, Jesse C. Nussbaum et al. doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0201-4 Locksley et al. show tissue-specific imprinting dictates the activating receptors ILC2s express, even in germ-free mice. Skin ILC2s are preferentially activated by IL-18, and IL-18 contributes to inflammation in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis. |

 |
| Sex-hormone-driven innate antibodies protect females and infants against EPEC infection pp1100 - 1111 Zhutian Zeng, Bas G. J. Surewaard, Connie H. Y. Wong, Christopher Guettler, Bjӧrn Petri et al. doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0211-2 Kubes and colleagues describe the presence in females of estrogen-driven, innate antibodies against specific oligosaccharides in EPEC that are maternally transferrable to offspring in mice and humans. |

| NKILA lncRNA promotes tumor immune evasion by sensitizing T cells to activation-induced cell death pp1112 - 1125 Di Huang, Jianing Chen, Linbin Yang, Qian Ouyang, Jiaqian Li et al. doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0207-y lncRNAs can regulate immune responses at a number of levels. Song and colleagues demonstrate that the lncRNA NKILA is expressed by tumor-associated cytotoxic T cells, and this predisposes them to activation-induced cell death and escape of tumors from immunologically mediated destruction. |

 |
| An immunoregulatory and tissue-residency program modulated by c-MAF in human TH17 cells pp1126 - 1136 Dominik Aschenbrenner, Mathilde Foglierini, David Jarrossay, Dan Hu, Howard L. Weiner et al. doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0200-5 TH17 cells contribute to anti-fungal and anti-bacterial adaptive immune responses. Sallusto and colleagues show that the transcription factor c-Maf has an immunoregulatory role in directing gene expression and tissue residency in human IL-10+ TH17 cell subsets. |

| The effect of cellular context on miR-155-mediated gene regulation in four major immune cell types pp1137 - 1145 Jing-Ping Hsin, Yuheng Lu, Gabriel B. Loeb, Christina S. Leslie & Alexander Y. Rudensky doi:10.1038/s41590-018-0208-x MicroRNAs regulate gene expression by targeting mRNAs via complementarity with seed sequences. Rudensky and colleagues provide genome-wide profiles of the microRNA miR-155 in multiple immune cell lineages and identify its cell-type effects on gene expression. |
