The conneXion between sex and immune responses
Immune responses to pathogens and self-antigens show sex-based differences. Anguera and colleagues explore the role of hormones and genetics in shaping immune responses.

This Review by Arnold and Munitz discusses the diverse roles of eosinophils in the settings of tissue homeostasis, infection, allergy and cancer. The authors explain the molecular mechanisms that enable eosinophils to adapt to diverse tissue types and conditions, and they consider the therapeutic potential of eosinophil-depleting drugs in the clinic.
