   Human Th17 cells
 
Th17 cells continue to be intensively studied, and several controversies remain. In this review, Romagnani and colleagues (p. 1361) compare and contrast the involvement of various cytokines in the generation of Th17 cells in mice and humans. They also describe the phenotype of human Th17 cell precursors, and the role of Th17 cells in immunopathology.
