T cells coordinate a collective response to a pathogen by scaling individual IL-2 production
The Altan-Bonnet lab showed that T cell populations scale their production of the cytokine IL-2 to antigen abundance over a large dynamic range, independent of population size.

Mechanism identified for tissue-specific gene expression nominated as one of Science Signaling’s breakthroughs of the year
The Leslie lab and collaborators showed tissue specificity of ubiquitously expressed genes is enabled by differential 3’-UTR production…
