Article series
An Article Series is a special series of articles that explores a specific theme in the field of immunological research and comprises Reviews and Perspectives that are published over a defined period of time.
Tissue–specific immune responses
October 2008
As we learn more about how immune responses occur in situ, it is becoming clear that the characteristics of the tissue microenvironment can be as important as immune cells in determining the initiation, progression and resolution of an immune response. In October 2008, Nature Reviews Immunology will begin a series of articles related to tissue–specific immune responses. These articles will consider aspects of immune responses in the context of the tissue in which they occur, highlighting how tissue cells or tissue–derived factors in different organs can shape the outcome of these responses.
Tumour immunology
Starting September 2006
From September 2006, a series of articles on tumour immunology will appear in Nature Reviews Immunology. Each article in this series will explore the dynamic interactions between tumour cells and immune cells, the mechanisms by which an immune response to tumours might be generated and maintained, how tumour cells escape detection and destruction by the immune system and how this knowledge can lead to new therapeutic targets and treatments for cancer. We hope that this Article Series will give you a taste of the diversity of topics that form part of this rapidly moving field.
