Glycobiology of the Immune System

Carbohydrates are involved in a range of interactions related to immune responses. This collection of recent review and research articles represents our current understanding of the roles glycans play in activating the adaptive and innate immune responses.

Best of Immunology & Cell Biology

Spanning the breadth of immunology, Immunology & Cell Biology is proud to present a selection of the top articles from 2007 and 2008. With a particular emphasis on the cell biology of the immune system, areas covered include: cellular immunology, innate and adaptive immunity, immune responses to pathogens, tumour immunology, immunopathology, immunotherapy, immunogenetics and immunological studies in humans and model organisms (including mouse, rat, Drosophila etc).

Dendritic Cells

This focus presents a collection of review and research articles that outline our current understanding of DC heterogeneity, how different populations contribute to T cell responses, and how T cells differentiate and maintain functional diversity. As well as highlighting the recent advances, the accompanying two-part special feature also identifies the gaps in our understanding and the potential this holds for the future.
