    DNA Architectural Protein CTCF Facilitates Subset-Specific Chromatin Interactions to Limit the Formation of Memory CD8+ T Cells

    The authors studied how genome configuration was integrated with CD8+ T cell differentiation during infection, and investigated the role of CTCF, a key chromatin remodeler, in modulating CD8+ T cell fates through CTCF knockdown approaches and perturbation of specific CTCF-binding sites.

    Long-Term Tolerance to Skin Commensals Is Established Neonatally through a Specialized Dendritic Cell Subgroup

    Scientists showed that tolerance in skin was controlled by microbial interaction with a specialized subset of antigen-presenting cells. CD301b+ type 2 conventional dendritic cells in neonatal skin were specifically capable of uptake and presentation of commensal antigens for the generation of regulatory T cells.
