    SMAD4 and TGFβ are architects of inverse genetic programs during fate determination of antiviral CTLs

    Karthik Chandiran, Jenny E Suarez-Ramirez ... Linda S Cauley
    Pathogen-specific CTLs are programmed to provide customized responses against infection, by inflammatory molecules that promote localization in peripheral and lymphoid tissues using alternative signaling mechanisms.

    Inflammatory stress signaling via NF-kB alters accessible cholesterol to upregulate SREBP2 transcriptional activity in endothelial cells

    Joseph Wayne M Fowler, Rong Zhang ... William C Sessa
    Detailed biochemical and metabolic analysis of the inflammatory response in human endothelial cells reveals that inflammation directly regulates cholesterol homeostasis.

    Th2 single-cell heterogeneity and clonal distribution at distant sites in helminth-infected mice

    Daniel Radtke, Natalie Thuma ... David Voehringer
    Th2 cell heterogeneity was revealed by combined transcriptome and T-cell receptor sequencing of single Th2 cells from lung and lymph node of helminth-infected mice and led to identification of a helminth-specific T-cell receptor.
