Focus on Immunology of the lung

- January 2015 Volume 16, No 1
The lungs are usually the first site of exposure to pathogens. To counter this imminent threat, the lungs have their own large and complex system of cells of the immune system. A series of five Reviews specially commissioned by Nature Immunology discusses all key aspects of lung immunology. In collaboration with Arkitek Studios, Nature Immunology has also produced an animation that delineates the complexities of the lung immune system in health and disease.
