    EBI2-mediated bridging channel positioning supports splenic dendritic cell homeostasis and particulate antigen capture

    Tangsheng Yi, Jason G Cyster
    The receptor EBI2 is essential for correctly positioning CD4+ dendritic cells in the spleen so that they can present blood-borne antigens to T cells and thereby provoke an antibody response.

    Stochastic homeostasis in human airway epithelium is achieved by neutral competition of basal cell progenitors

    Vitor H Teixeira, Parthiban Nadarajan ... Sam M Janes
    Cell replenishment within the airways is governed by the random division of a population of basal progenitor cells, in a process that is accelerated in smokers.

    A role of OCRL in clathrin-coated pit dynamics and uncoating revealed by studies of Lowe syndrome cells

    Ramiro Nández, Daniel M Balkin ... Pietro De Camilli
    Studies of Lowe syndrome patient cells, which lack the inositol 5-phosphatase OCRL, suggest that a defect in endocytosis plays a role in the pathological manifestations of the disease.

    Nup98 FG domains from diverse species spontaneously phase-separate into particles with nuclear pore-like permselectivity

    Hermann Broder Schmidt, Dirk Görlich
    How nuclear pore complexes establish their permeability barrier has been a long-standing question; now, this process can be reconstituted by a surprisingly simple and rapid self-assembly of Nup98 FG domains into selective FG phases.

    Uni-directional ciliary membrane protein trafficking by a cytoplasmic retrograde IFT motor and ciliary ectosome shedding

    Muqing Cao, Jue Ning ... William J Snell
    During cilium-generated signaling, ciliary membrane protein trafficking is unidirectional and ciliary membrane protein composition is regulated through action in the cytoplasm of the retrograde intraflagelllar transport (IFT) motor and shedding of ciliary ectosomes.

    Dengue vascular leakage is augmented by mast cell degranulation mediated by immunoglobulin Fcγ receptors

    Ayesa Syenina, Cyril J Jagaraj ... Ashley L St John
    Building on previous work (St John et al., 2013), we explain why secondary infection by dengue virus is associated with more severe vascular disease than primary infection.

    Immune surveillance of the lung by migrating tissue monocytes

    Mathieu P Rodero, Lucie Poupel ... Alexandre Boissonnas
    Monocytes display distinct migratory and functional activity compared to dendritic cells and alveolar macrophages in the lungs.

    The HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 is captured and displayed for B cell recognition by SIGN-R1+ lymph node macrophages

    Chung Park, James Arthos ... John H Kehrl
    Lymph node gp120 specific B cells extract locally injected HIV-1 gp120 from SIGN-R1 positive macrophages that line the subcapsular sinus overlying the lymph node interfollicular channels.

    Antigen presentation kinetics control T cell/dendritic cell interactions and follicular helper T cell generation in vivo

    Robert A Benson, Megan KL MacLeod ... James M Brewer
    Temporal availability of antigen presentation by dendritic cells influences the differentiation of follicular helper T (Tfh) cells, which enhances germinal centre responses and induces protective immunity.
