Editorial: Time and money well spentThe sometimes arduous effort that went toward securing and distributing state government funds for broader stem cell work should be lauded, not lamented. Nature Immunology, vol. 9 #10, pp1085-1085 |
News and Views: Putting ThPOK in placeThPOK is necessary for the differentiation of CD4+ helper T cells. Three new studies indicate that, unexpectedly, ThPOK is required only after initial specification to the CD4+ lineage. Nature Immunology, vol. 9 #10, pp1095-1096 |
News and Views: Sensing necrosis with MincleThe mechanisms that lead to inflammation after necrotic cell death are poorly understood. New data show that the C-type lectin Mincle is involved in this process. Nature Immunology, vol. 9 #10, pp1099-1100 |
News and Views: RAPping production of type I interferon in pDCs through mTORThe production of type I interferon—the first line of defense against virus infection and critical for innate immunity—in plasmacytoid dendritic cells relies on the mammalian target of rapamycin. Nature Immunology, vol. 9 #10, pp1097-1099 |
News and Views: Tuberculosis: unsealing the apoptotic envelopeMycobacterium tuberculosis grows in macrophages but escapes these cells by triggering their death.
