This month’s articles highlight the adaptations in the maternal immune system during pregnancy and show how follicular regulatory T cells suppress B cell activation.
SYSTEMS IMMUNOLOGY
Following the hand of the immunological clock
Aghaeepour et al. performed a systems-level analysis of the adaptations that occur in the maternal immune system during pregnancy.
IMMUNE REGULATION
Immune regulation in the germinal center
Ritvo et al. showed that follicular regulatory T cells suppress the activation of B cells by producing decoy molecules for an important signaling pathway.
