TY - JOUR AB - In contrast to lymph nodes, the lymphoid regions of the spleen—the white pulp—are located deep within the organ, yielding the trafficking paths of T cells in the white pulp largely invisible. In an intravital microscopy tour de force reported in this issue of Immunity, Chauveau et al. show that T cells perform unidirectional, perivascular migration through the enigmatic marginal zone bridging channels.

In this issue of Immunity, Oyler-Yaniv et al. (2017) suggest that the distribution of a cytokine within a lymphatic organ is primarily governed by the local density of cells consuming it.
