Estes são os artigos que estão no topo do ranking em imunologia, na F1000, em 3 de fevereiro. O ranking é calculado a cada 30 dias por membros do F100 que lêem e classificam os papers mais importantes da sua área.
Atenção para o paper #5 (Victora et al.), o qual foi apresentado na última reunião da SBI em Porto Alegre, em 2010.
1. How Tregs limit inflammation
T-regulatory cells can multiply their numbers by secreting the cytokine interleukin IL-35, which converts the population of T-cells involved in killing (effector T-cells) into regulatory cells that suppress inflammation, providing a new explanation for how inflammation is reeled in after an infection is cleared.

2. Fighters in fat
A new type of immune cell dubbed the "natural helper cell," found around the fat stores of the gut, activates B-cells and produces more Th2-type cytokines than other cells, possibly contributing to allergic immunity, clearance of parasitic worms and wound healing.

3. Directed clean-up
Neutrophils are attracted to an inflamed area in part to help clean-up bruised or dead tissue, but they can also contribute to the inflammation and cause additional damage if overstimulated. Researchers found that a hierarchy of signals directs neutrophils through healthy tissue to their target, and helps limit collateral damage from these cells.

4. Allergy gets a new look
The role of basophils, a type of white blood cell, in allergic reactions has recently become an area of controversy: While some recent studies support the old dogma that basophils are key components of allergic reaction, this new study adds to a body of literature suggests they are not involved at all -- specifically, that dendritic cells, not basophils, are critical for allergic inflammation.

5. Tracking B-cell movement
By applying GFP technology in a new way, authors tracked B-cell maturation in the lymph nodes as the cells move from an area of rapid proliferation to an area where B cells that produce the best antibodies are selected, and back again, and found an essential role of T helper cells in this transition.

6. Cancer suppresses immune response
Neutrophils, usually thought of as the first responders during infection, can suppress the inflammatory response to cancer when exposed to peptides from tumor cells, demonstrating a new way for tumors to evade the immune system, and hinting at novel targets for cancer immunotherapies.

7. Viruses fueled by recycled materials
The Dengue virus co-opts autophagy, one of the cell's recycling mechanisms, in order to reuse host lipids that it then uses to drive its own replication, explaining where viruses get the energy to support their division.
