Research Highlights

  • This study demonstrates that TREM1, an amplifier of inflammation, is induced on peripheral myeloid cells in response to stroke and uncovers an intriguing connection between the brain, the gut and the immune system.

  • Levels of CCR5 expression by CD4+ T cells, which influence the outcome of HIV-1 infection, are modulated by polymorphism of a non-coding RNA that affects mRNA stability.

    • Kirsty Minton
    Research Highlight
  • A new study shows that neutrophils collaborate with tumour-associated macrophages and unconventional innate-like T cells to mount type 1 antitumour immunity.

    • Lucy Bird
    Research Highlight
  • Christoph Hess describes a 1984 paper by Barry Marshall and Robin Warren that proposed that bacteria might be a key factor in chronic gastritis.

Reviews

  • The NLRP3 inflammasome mediates pro-inflammatory responses and pyroptotic cell death. Here, the authors describe the complex pathways controlling its activation and regulation and how it is being targeted to treat inflammatory diseases.

    Review Article
  • This Review covers new insights into the immune roles of complement. The authors discuss the pathways that link complement signalling with homeostatic and pathological T cell responses and highlight how complement components act intracellularly to shape T cell responses.

    Review Article
  • This Review presents evidence that supports a role for the immune system in the pathogenesis of hypertension, including the immune cell subsets involved and the means by which these immune cells become activated throughout the course of the disease.
