How lymphocytes add up
Nature Immunology 18, 12 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3636 Authors: Becca Asquith & Rob J de Boer A surprising molecular mechanism underlying signal integration and programmed proliferation in adaptive immunity has been identified: the cell-cycle regulator Myc enables a lymphocyte to add up the strength of signals it receives and time its response accordingly.

iNKT cells do a fat lot of good
Nature Immunology 18, 10 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3639 Authors: Jayati Mookerjee-Basu & Dietmar J Kappes Altered signaling via the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) promotes an adipose-tissue-like phenotype in invariant natural killer cells (iNKT cells) during thymic development and causes selective enrichment for iNKT cells in adipose tissues.

Linking air pollution to atopic dermatitis
Nature Immunology 18, 5 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3615 Authors: Kenji Kabashima, Atsushi Otsuka & Takashi Nomura The relationship between atopic dermatitis and air pollution has been long debated but has now been connected via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and its control of skin innervation and the consequent triggering of an itch-scratch response.
