How T cells shape their signals
Centromere stabilizer T he defi ning feature of centromeres is the presence of a protein called CenH3, but how this specialized histone gets to centromeres and stays there has been a mystery. Perpelescu et al. bring us one step closer to unraveling the mystery with their discovery that a chromatin remodeling protein called RSF stabilizes CENP-A (the human CenH3) at centromeres. The expansive DN...

متن کاملWhy plants make puzzle cells, and how their shape emerges
The shape and function of plant cells are often highly interdependent. The puzzle-shaped cells that appear in the epidermis of many plants are a striking example of a complex cell shape, however their functional benefit has remained elusive. We propose that these intricate forms provide an effective strategy to reduce mechanical stress in the cell wall of the epidermis. When tissue-level growth...
متن کاملHow diverse--CD4 effector T cells and their functions.
CD4 effector T cells, also called helper T (Th) cells, are the functional cells for executing immune functions. Balanced immune responses can only be achieved by proper regulation of the differentiation and function of Th cells. Dysregulated Th cell function often leads to inefficient clearance of pathogens and causes inflammatory diseases and autoimmunity. Since the establishment of the Th1-Th...
متن کاملHow steroids steer T cells.
Recent papers from Mahata et al. and Bereshchenko et al. reveal how steroids steer immune responses by tipping T helper (Th) subset balances and activities. Pregnenolone produced by Th2 cells mediates immunosuppressive responses, and glucocorticoids stimulate regulatory T cell development via the induction of GILZ expression.
