Javed cover

Congratulations to Javed Mohammed, his paper on the role of stromal cells in controlling residence of immune cells in epidermis has been published in the April Issue of Nature Immunology.

Javed's image of epidermal whole mounts from mice doubly-deficient in the integrins β6 and β8 stained for the alloantigen Thy-1.1 (red) and MHC class II (green) after infection with LCMV., is featured on the cover.

Here is a link to the paper:
