    Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a family of lymphoid effector cells with important roles in immunological defense and pathology. Nature Immunology presents a series of specially commissioned articles that discuss the evolution, development, functional diversity and immunotherapeutic potential of ILCs. In collaboration with Nucleus Medical Media, Nature Immunology has also produced an animation that shows the complexity of ILC biology in the gut at steady state and during disease.

    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 Immunologydiscusses 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.
