Gene-enhancer variants reveal diverse TCR-mediated differentiation
Nature Immunology 18, 483 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3729 Authors: Michael P Gallagher & Leslie J Berg The transcription factor IRF4 acts as a 'rheostat' for TCR signaling. Discrete levels of IRF4 can activate distinct transcriptional programs in T cells due to binding sites of variable affinity in groups of target genes. (Source: Nature Immunology)

The immune system as a social network
Nature Immunology 18, 481 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3727 Authors: Andreas Bergthaler & Jörg Menche The immune system employs a multitude of molecules, cells and organs that act together throughout the entire body to guard human health. Much like in a social network, immune cells can exert full functionality only through effective collaboration and communication. (Source: Nature Immunology)

IRE1 gives weight to obesity-associated inflammation
Nature Immunology 18, 479 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3725 Authors: Bojan Bujisic & Fabio Martinon IRE1α is a stress sensor that is activated by a high-fat diet. In adipose-tissue macrophages, it serves as a major switch toward pro-inflammatory M1 polarization and thereby contributes to obesity and associated diseases. (Source: Nature Immunology)
