    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the etiologic agent of AIDS – is one of the most intensively studied disease organism in history. Since its first identification in the early 1980s, HIV has transformed into a pandemic, globally infecting more 36 million people and annually contributing to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of patients – particularly in low income countries.

    The nervous and immune systems communicate and reciprocally influence their functional responses. Nature ImmunologyandNature Neurosciencepresent a joint focus entailing a series of specially commissioned review articles that discuss how the nervous system and immune cells interact during development, homeostasis and in pathogenic disease states.

  • Focus |

    Nature Immunology presents a Focus on recent progress in understanding the ontogeny, functional diversity and activation plasticity of macrophages. Four specially commissioned Reviews and one Perspective discuss the newest insight into the origin and development of macrophages and the regulation of their activation during immune responses, as well as the emerging role of macrophages in tissue homeostasis.
