FSC-certified forest management benefits large mammals compared to non-FSC
Nature, Published online: 10 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07257-8Camera-trap images of 55 mammal species in 14 logging concessions in western equatorial Africa reveal greater animal encounter rates in FSC-certified than in non-certified forests, especially for large mammals and species of high conservation priority.

Distal colonocytes targeted by C. rodentium recruit T-cell help for barrier defence
Nature, Published online: 10 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07288-1The murine enteropathogen Citrobacter rodentium targets a specific subset of absorptive intestinal epithelial cells in the mid–distal colon, which stimulate T cells to produce sustained IL-22 signals to mitigate further spread of the pathogen.

Metabolic rewiring promotes anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids
Nature, Published online: 10 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07282-7Glucocorticoids reprogram the mitochondrial metabolism of macrophages, resulting in increased and sustained production of the anti-inflammatory metabolite itaconate and, as a consequence, inhibition of the inflammatory response.
