  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: Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) release extracellular chemokines to guide
    the migration of dendritic cells. In this study, we report that LECs also release
    basolateral exosome-rich endothelial vesicles (EEVs) that are secreted in greater
    numbers in the presence of inflammatory cytokines and accumulate in the perivascular
    stroma of small lymphatic vessels in human chronic inflammatory diseases. Proteomic
    analyses of EEV fractions identified &gt; 1,700 cargo proteins and revealed a
    dominant motility-promoting protein signature. In vitro and ex vivo EEV fractions
    augmented cellular protrusion formation in a CX3CL1/fractalkine-dependent fashion
    and enhanced the directional migratory response of human dendritic cells along
    guidance cues. We conclude that perilymphatic LEC exosomes enhance exploratory
    behavior and thus promote directional migration of CX3CR1-expressing cells in
    complex tissue environments.

  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: Trafficking cells frequently transmigrate through epithelial and endothelial
    monolayers. How monolayers cooperate with the penetrating cells to support their
    transit is poorly understood. We studied dendritic cell (DC) entry into lymphatic
    capillaries as a model system for transendothelial migration. We find that the
    chemokine CCL21, which is the decisive guidance cue for intravasation, mainly
    localizes in the trans-Golgi network and intracellular vesicles of lymphatic endothelial
    cells. Upon DC transmigration, these Golgi deposits disperse and CCL21 becomes
    extracellularly enriched at the sites of endothelial cell-cell junctions. When
    we reconstitute the transmigration process in vitro, we find that secretion of
    CCL21-positive vesicles is triggered by a DC contact-induced calcium signal, and
    selective calcium chelation in lymphatic endothelium attenuates transmigration.
    Altogether, our data demonstrate a chemokine-mediated feedback between DCs and
    lymphatic endothelium, which facilitates transendothelial migration.

  text: Navigation of cells along gradients of guidance cues is a determining step
    in many developmental and immunological processes. Gradients can either be soluble
    or immobilized to tissues as demonstrated for the haptotactic migration of dendritic
    cells (DCs) toward higher concentrations of immobilized chemokine CCL21. To elucidate
    how gradient characteristics govern cellular response patterns, we here introduce
    an in vitro system allowing to track migratory responses of DCs to precisely controlled
    immobilized gradients of CCL21. We find that haptotactic sensing depends on the
    absolute CCL21 concentration and local steepness of the gradient, consistent with
    a scenario where DC directionality is governed by the signal-to-noise ratio of
    CCL21 binding to the receptor CCR7. We find that the conditions for optimal DC
    guidance are perfectly provided by the CCL21 gradients we measure in vivo. Furthermore,
    we find that CCR7 signal termination by the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase
    6 (GRK6) is crucial for haptotactic but dispensable for chemotactic CCL21 gradient
    sensing in vitro and confirm those observations in vivo. These findings suggest
    that stable, tissue-bound CCL21 gradients as sustainable “roads” ensure optimal
    guidance in vivo.

  text: Hemolysis drives susceptibility to bacterial infections and predicts poor
    outcome from sepsis. These detrimental effects are commonly considered to be a
    consequence of heme-iron serving as a nutrient for bacteria. We employed a Gram-negative
    sepsis model and found that elevated heme levels impaired the control of bacterial
    proliferation independently of heme-iron acquisition by pathogens. Heme strongly
    inhibited phagocytosis and the migration of human and mouse phagocytes by disrupting
    actin cytoskeletal dynamics via activation of the GTP-binding Rho family protein
    Cdc42 by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8. A chemical screening approach
    revealed that quinine effectively prevented heme effects on the cytoskeleton,
    restored phagocytosis and improved survival in sepsis. These mechanistic insights
    provide potential therapeutic targets for patients with sepsis or hemolytic disorders.

  text: Most migrating cells extrude their front by the force of actin polymerization.
    Polymerization requires an initial nucleation step, which is mediated by factors
    establishing either parallel filaments in the case of filopodia or branched filaments
    that form the branched lamellipodial network. Branches are considered essential
    for regular cell motility and are initiated by the Arp2/3 complex, which in turn
    is activated by nucleation-promoting factors of the WASP and WAVE families. Here
    we employed rapid amoeboid crawling leukocytes and found that deletion of the
    WAVE complex eliminated actin branching and thus lamellipodia formation. The cells
    were left with parallel filaments at the leading edge, which translated, depending
    on the differentiation status of the cell, into a unipolar pointed cell shape
    or cells with multiple filopodia. Remarkably, unipolar cells migrated with increased
    speed and enormous directional persistence, while they were unable to turn towards
    chemotactic gradients. Cells with multiple filopodia retained chemotactic activity
    but their migration was progressively impaired with increasing geometrical complexity
    of the extracellular environment. These findings establish that diversified leading
    edge protrusions serve as explorative structures while they slow down actual locomotion.

  text: Pathogens exert a strong selection pressure on organisms to evolve effective
    immune defences. In addition to individual immunity, social organisms can act
    cooperatively to produce collective defences. In many ant species, queens have
    the option to found a colony alone or in groups with other, often unrelated, conspecifics.
    These associations are transient, usually lasting only as long as each queen benefits
    from the presence of others. In fact, once the first workers emerge, queens fight
    to the death for dominance. One potential advantage of co-founding may be that
    queens benefit from collective disease defences, such as mutual grooming, that
    act against common soil pathogens. We test this hypothesis by exposing single
    and co-founding queens to a fungal parasite, in order to assess whether queens
    in co-founding associations have improved survival. Surprisingly, co-foundresses
    exposed to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium did not engage in cooperative
    disease defences, and consequently, we find no direct benefit of multiple queens
    on survival. However, an indirect benefit was observed, with parasite-exposed
    queens producing more brood when they co-founded, than when they were alone. We
    suggest this is due to a trade-off between reproduction and immunity. Additionally,
    we report an extraordinary ability of the queens to tolerate an infection for
    long periods after parasite exposure. Our study suggests that there are no social
    immunity benefits for co-founding ant queens, but that in parasite-rich environments,
    the presence of additional queens may nevertheless improve the chances of colony
    founding success.
