  text: 'Lymph nodes (LNs) comprise two main structural elements: fibroblastic reticular
    cells that form dedicated niches for immune cell interaction and capsular fibroblasts
    that build a shell around the organ. Immunological challenge causes LNs to increase
    more than tenfold in size within a few days. Here, we characterized the biomechanics
    of LN swelling on the cellular and organ scale. We identified lymphocyte trapping
    by influx and proliferation as drivers of an outward pressure force, causing fibroblastic
    reticular cells of the T-zone (TRCs) and their associated conduits to stretch.
    After an initial phase of relaxation, TRCs sensed the resulting strain through
    cell matrix adhesions, which coordinated local growth and remodeling of the stromal
    network. While the expanded TRC network readopted its typical configuration, a
    massive fibrotic reaction of the organ capsule set in and countered further organ
    expansion. Thus, different fibroblast populations mechanically control LN swelling
    in a multitier fashion.'

  text: Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for the priming of naive T cells and the
    initiation of adaptive immunity. Priming is initiated at a heterologous cell–cell
    contact, the immunological synapse (IS). While it is established that F-actin
    dynamics regulates signaling at the T cell side of the contact, little is known
    about the cytoskeletal contribution on the DC side. Here, we show that the DC
    actin cytoskeleton is decisive for the formation of a multifocal synaptic structure,
    which correlates with T cell priming efficiency. DC actin at the IS appears in
    transient foci that are dynamized by the WAVE regulatory complex (WRC). The absence
    of the WRC in DCs leads to stabilized contacts with T cells, caused by an increase
    in ICAM1-integrin–mediated cell–cell adhesion. This results in lower numbers of
    activated and proliferating T cells, demonstrating an important role for DC actin
    in the regulation of immune synapse functionality.

  text: Lymph nodes  are es s ential organs  of the immune  s ys tem where adaptive
    immune responses originate, and consist of various leukocyte populations and a
    stromal backbone. Fibroblastic reticular  cells (FRCs) are  the  main  stromal  cells
    and  form  a sponge-like extracellular matrix network,   called  conduits ,  which  they   thems
    elves   enwrap   and  contract.  Lymph,  containing  s oluble  antigens ,  arrive
    in  lymph  nodes  via afferent lymphatic  vessels that  connect  to  the  s ubcaps
    ular  s inus   and  conduit  network.  According  to  the  current  paradigm,  the  conduit  network   dis
    tributes   afferent  lymph  through   lymph  nodes   and  thus   provides   acces
    s   for  immune  cells to lymph-borne  antigens. An  elas tic  caps ule  s urrounds   the  organ  and  confines   the
    immune  cells and  FRC  network.   Lymph   nodes   are  completely  packed  with  lymphocytes   and  lymphocyte  numbers  directly  dictates  the
    size  of  the  organ.  Although  lymphocytes   cons tantly  enter  and  leave  the  lymph  node,  its   s
    ize  remains   remarkedly   s table  under  homeostatic conditions. It is only
    partly known  how the cellularity and s ize of the lymph node is regulated and  how  the  lymph  node  is
    able to swell in inflammation.  The role of the FRC network   in  lymph  node   s
    welling  and  trans fer  of  fluids   are  inves tigated in  this   thes is.  Furthermore,   we  s
    tudied  what  trafficking  routes   are  us ed  by  cancer  cells   in  lymph  nodes   to  form  distal
    metastases.We examined the role of a mechanical feedback in regulation of lymph  node
    swelling. Using parallel plate compression  and UV-las er  cutting  experiments   we  dis
    s ected  the  mechanical  force dynamics  of the whole lymph  node, and individually
    for FRCs  and the  caps ule. Physical forces   generated  by  packed  lymphocytes   directly  affect  the  tens
    ion  on  the  FRC  network  and  capsule,  which  increases  its  resistance  to   swelling.  This  implies  a  feedback  mechanism  between   tis
    s ue   pres s ure   and   ability   of   lymphocytes    to   enter   the   organ.   Following   inflammation,  the  lymph  node  swells
    ∼10 fold in two weeks . Yet, what  is  the role  for tens ion on  the  FRC  network   and  caps
    ule,  and  how  are  lymphocytes   able  to  enter  in  conditions  that resist
    swelling remain open ques tions . We s how that tens ion on the FRC network is  important
    to  limit  the  swelling  rate  of  the  organ  so  that  the  FRC  network  can  grow  in  a  coordinated  fashion.
    This is illustrated by interfering with FRC contractility, which leads to faster
    swelling rates  and a dis organized FRC network  in the inflamed lymph  node.
    Growth  of the FRC network  in  turn  is   expected  to  releas e  tens ion  on  thes
    e  s tructures   and  lowers   the  res is tance  to  swelling, thereby allowing
    more lymphocytes to enter the organ and drive more swelling. Halt of  swelling
    coincides   with  a  thickening  of  the  caps ule,  which  forms   a  thick  res
    is tant  band  around  the organ and lowers  tens ion on the FRC network  to form
    a new force equilibrium.The  FRC  and  conduit   network   are  further   believed  to  be  a  privileged  s
    ite  of  s oluble  information  within  the  lymph  node,  although  many  details   remain  uns
    olved.  We  s how  by  3D  ultra-recons truction   that  FRCs   and  antigen  pres
    enting  cells   cover  the  s urface  of  conduit  s ys tem for more  than 99%
    and we dis cus s  the implications  for s oluble information  exchangeat the conduit
    level.Finally, there  is an ongoing debate in the cancer field whether and how
    cancer cells  in lymph nodes   s eed  dis tal  metas tas es .  We  s how  that  cancer  cells   infus
    ed  into  the  lymph  node  can  utilize trafficking routes of immune  cells and  rapidly  migrate  to  blood  vessels.
    Once  in  the  blood circulation,  these cells are able to form  metastases in
    distal tissues.

  text: During metastasis, malignant cells escape the primary tumor, intravasate lymphatic
    vessels, and reach draining sentinel lymph nodes before they colonize distant
    organs via the blood circulation. Although lymph node metastasis in cancer patients
    correlates with poor prognosis, evidence is lacking as to whether and how tumor
    cells enter the bloodstream via lymph nodes. To investigate this question, we
    delivered carcinoma cells into the lymph nodes of mice by microinfusing the cells
    into afferent lymphatic vessels. We found that tumor cells rapidly infiltrated
    the lymph node parenchyma, invaded blood vessels, and seeded lung metastases without
    involvement of the thoracic duct. These results suggest that the lymph node blood
    vessels can serve as an exit route for systemic dissemination of cancer cells
    in experimental mouse models. Whether this form of tumor cell spreading occurs
    in cancer patients remains to be determined.

  text: Immune cells communicate using cytokine signals, but the quantitative rules
    of this communication aren't clear. In this issue of Immunity, Oyler-Yaniv et
    al. (2017) suggest that the distribution of a cytokine within a lymphatic organ
    is primarily governed by the local density of cells consuming it.
