  Evaluation Summary:

  Persistence of the viral reservoir is hampering HIV cure and thus understanding how these cells persist is important. This study describes a possible way that HIV-infected cells in the reservoir may escape antibody killing. The reservoir cells tend to have less availability of a receptor that binds HIV antibodies that would ordinarily help in killing. These cells are not only less susceptible to antibody killing but also seem to be susceptible to proliferation, which helps maintain the reservoir.

  Evaluation Summary:

  In this manuscript, the authors map the cellular landscape in the tongue, which is an underrated immunological organ, with a main focus on tissue-resident myeloid cells under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. They identify two major subsets of macrophages, which occupy distinct anatomical niches and develop from local precursors, while under immune compromised conditions they can also be replenished from circulating hematopoietic precursors. These findings provide an important basis for future investigations of the tongue immune function in the context of infection, inflammation, and neoplastic diseases.
