Tissue–specific immune responses
As we learn more about how immune responses occur in situ, it is becoming clear that the characteristics of the tissue microenvironment can be as important as immune cells in determining the initiation, progression and resolution of an immune response. In October 2008, Nature Reviews Immunology begin a series of articles related to tissue–specific immune responses. These articles will consider aspects of immune responses in the context of the tissue in which they occur, highlighting how tissue cells or tissue–derived factors in different organs can shape the outcome of these responses.
