RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS  B cell memory: A second chance for antibodies p131 | doi:10.1038/nri3829Class-switched memory B cells form secondary germinal centres during recall responses to further diversify the antibody repertoire. PDF  B cells: Whatever will B cell be? p132 | doi:10.1038/nri3821Individual naive B cells show heterogeneity in their response to antigen-mediated activation. PDF Macrophages: Breaking ranks in the lymph node p132 | doi:10.1038/nri3825Inflammation disrupts the organization of subcapsular sinus macrophages, impairing the B cell response to secondary infections. PDF  B cell memory: Making sense in humans p133 | doi:10.1038/nri3822Key characteristics of human IgM+memory B cells have been identified, including a high degree of similarity to IgG+ memory B cells. PDF Regulatory T cells: CK2: keeping TH2 cells in check p134 | doi:10.1038/nri3827Control of excessive T helper 2 cell-type immune responses is mediated by casein kinase 2 (CK2) in regulatory T cells. PDF Innate immunity: Stressed mitochondria provide protection p134 | doi:10.1038/nri3828Herpesvirus infection can lead to mitochondrial DNA stress and thereby activate antiviral defences. PDF  B cells: Meddling with the mind p135 | doi:10.1038/nri3826B cell infiltration into stroke lesions may contribute to subsequent dementia development.

Focus on: 50 years of B cells REVIEWS Dynamics of B cells in germinal centres Nilushi S. De Silva & Ulf Kleinp137 | doi:10.1038/nri3804The germinal centre (GC) reaction is a highly complex and regulated process. As described in this Review, recent studies have revealed dynamic cellular states in the GC, the requirements for selection of B cells that express high-affinity antibodies and the recirculation of B cells between zones of the GC. Abstract | Full Text | PDF Memory B cells Tomohiro Kurosaki, Kohei Kometani & Wataru Isep149 | doi:10.1038/nri3802New insights into the heterogeneity of memory B cells can aid our mechanistic understanding of the longevity of humoral memory and its rapid and robust responsiveness. Abstract | Full Text | PDF The generation of antibody-secreting plasma cells Stephen L. Nutt, Philip D. Hodgkin, David M. Tarlinton & Lynn M. Corcoranp160 | doi:10.1038/nri3795The terminal differentiation of antibody-secreting cells is controlled by a network of antagonistic transcription factors and, although it is highly complex, this process can be explained by a simple probabilistic differentiation process. Abstract | Full Text | PDF Germinal centres and B cell lymphomagenesis Katia Basso & Riccardo Dalla-Faverap172 | doi:10.1038/nri3814In this Review, the authors describe the recent advances in the molecular regulation of germinal centre development that are also important for human B cell lymphomagenesis. They summarize the genetic alterations leading to dysregulated pathways that are important for the germinal centre reaction. Abstract | Full Text | PDF PERSPECTIVES TIMELINE A brief history of T cell help to B cells Shane Crottyp185 | doi:10.1038/nri3803The role of T cell help to B cells was discovered only a few years after the discovery of B cells. In this Timeline article, the author describes the key events that led to the identification of T follicular helper (TFH) cells as the main T helper cell type for B cells. Abstract | Full Text | PDF TIMELINE The early history of B cells Max D. Cooperp191 | doi:10.1038/nri3801As we celebrate 50 years since his seminal Nature paper describing separate lineages for B cells and T cells in the chicken, Max Cooper looks back at the early discoveries that made this breakthrough possible and describes how the B cell field emerged.

Nature Insight Frontiers in biology This year's Frontiers in Biology Insight covers the amygdala and how technology is helping us to understand its complex connectivity, innate lymphoid cells, nutrient-sensing mechanisms in mammals, a form of cell death called necroptosis, and the regulation and function of DNA methylation and its use as a cellular marker. Access the Insight online.
