Few proteins have had as profound an influence on immunity and biology as the transcription factor NF-κB.

Memory is the signature property of the adaptive response, and vaccination is a hugely important medical intervention—understanding the former will help perfect the latter.

Budget battles in the US Congress are precipitating higher costs at government facilities, including federal funding of biomedical research.

Nature Immunology launches its first podcast with a historical piece on immunology at the UK's National Institute of Medical Research as plans develop for the future of the institute.

Against a backdrop of some of the most savage spending cuts in the developed world, the UK science budget has emerged relatively unscathed, but funding priorities may yet prove problematic.
