Evolving mechanistic and conceptual understanding of inflammation drives insight into human disease and new approaches for therapy.

A guiding map for inflammation

Netea and colleagues provide a general guide to the cellular and humoral contributors to inflammation as well as the pathways that characterize inflammation in specific organs and tissues.

The monogenic autoinflammatory diseases define new pathways in human innate immunity and inflammation

10.1038/ni.3777

2017-07-19

Autoinflammatory diseases were first recognized nearly 20 years ago as distinct clinical and immunological entities caused by dysregulation in the innate immune system. Since then, advances in genomic techniques have led to the identification of new monogenic...

Nutrition, inflammation and cancer

10.1038/ni.3754

2017-07-19

Quantitative and qualitative aspects of nutrition have a profound effect on leukocytes and thereby affect proinflammatory carcinogenic effects or anticancer immune responses. As a result, nutrition affects the incidence, natural progression and therapeutic re...

Regulation of inflammation by microbiota interactions with the host

2017-07-19

The study of the intestinal microbiota has begun to shift from cataloging individual members of the commensal community to understanding their contributions to the physiology of the host organism in health and disease. Here, we review the effects of the micro...

Limiting inflammation—the negative regulation of NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome

10.1038/ni.3772

2017-07-19

A properly mounted immune response is indispensable for recognizing and eliminating danger arising from foreign invaders and tissue trauma. However, the 'inflammatory fire' kindled by the host response must be tightly controlled to prevent it from spreading a...

Tumor immunity requires border patrol to fight the enemy within

The infiltration of solid tumors by CD8+ T cells is a favorable prognostic marker. Large-scale transcriptome analysis of tumor-infiltrating T cells from mucosal tumors shows that CD8+ T cells with a CD103+ tissue-resident memory T cell phenotype might be the ...

Counting the cost of lineage decisions

Lineage bias among early hematopoietic progenitor cells is specified by transcription-factor programming, and lineage switching reduces the quantity of cells produced.

Untangling Fc and complement receptors to kill tumors

2017-07-19

Uncoupling of activation of Fc receptors via a mutant IgG1 Fc domain shows a direct role for complement receptors in antibody-dependent tumor killing.

α-ketoglutarate orchestrates macrophage activation through metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming

How glutamine metabolism orchestrates macrophage activation is unclear. Ho and colleagues show glutamine metabolism tailors the immune responses of macrophages through metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming.
