Killer T cells show their kinder side

Abstract:
The immune system performs a difficult balancing act. It must respond rapidly to dangerous microorganisms that threaten the host, yet also coexist peacefully with the large array of microorganisms that colonize barrier surfaces such as those of the skin and gut. Writing in Cell, Linehan et al. examine the interactions between immune cells and a bacterium that normally resides on the skin, and identify a signalling pathway that governs the immune response to such microbes.
