    Epigenetic modulation of type-1 diabetes via a dual effect on pancreatic macrophages and β cells

    Wenxian Fu, Julia Farache ... Diane Mathis
    A short treatment of the NOD mouse model of type-1 diabetes with I-BET151, a small molecule bromodomain blocker, provides long-term protection from disease by inducing macrophages to adapt an anti-inflammatory tenor whilst promoting islet β cell regeneration.

    Competition between antagonistic complement factors for a single protein on N. meningitidis rules disease susceptibility

    Joseph JE Caesar, Hayley Lavender ... Susan M Lea
    Genetic susceptibility to an infectious disease is linked to competition for binding a molecule on the bacterial surface by two host proteins with opposing roles in host immunity.

    Lymph node stromal cells constrain immunity via MHC class II self-antigen presentation

    Antonio P Baptista, Ramon Roozendaal ... Reina E Mebius
    MHC class II-mediated self-antigen presentation by lymph node stromal cells controls regulatory T cell homeostasis, thus safeguarding immune tolerance.

    Sharpin prevents skin inflammation by inhibiting TNFR1-induced keratinocyte apoptosis

    Snehlata Kumari, Younes Redouane ... Fumiyo Ikeda
    The adaptor proteins FADD and TRADD play an important role in the Sharpin-dependent anti-apoptosis signaling pathway in keratinocytes and regulate skin homeostasis.

    CD28 expression is required after T cell priming for helper T cell responses and protective immunity to infection

    Michelle A Linterman, Alice E Denton ... Kenneth GC Smith
    The co-stimulatory molecule CD28 is required after T cell priming for helper T cell polarization in response to an infection.

    Autophagy is a critical regulator of memory CD8+ T cell formation

    Daniel J Puleston, Hanlin Zhang ... Anna Katharina Simon
    Autophagy is required for CD8+ T cell memory formation; in aged individuals autophagy levels are diminished, and increasing autophagy enhances their CD8+ T cell responses.

    The basic leucine zipper transcription factor NFIL3 directs the development of a common innate lymphoid cell precursor

    Xiaofei Yu, Yuhao Wang ... Lora V Hooper
    The transcription factor NFIL3 is essential for the development of a committed bone marrow precursor that gives rise to all known innate lymphoid cell lineages in mice.
