| Abstract: | The cover picture has been specifically designed to introduce the first viewpoint series to be published in the European Journal of Immunology. The image combines a picture of a set of scales with a schematic picture of the Treg arsenal, depicting the different cell types influenced by Treg and underlining the crucial role that Treg play in immune regulation. The image is based on a figure in the article by Dario Vignali (pp. 908–911) in which the author discusses the effector functions of Treg and the potential mechanisms involved; this is also the theme of the related article by Cohen et al. (pp.903–907). |
