  Evaluation Summary:

  This study focus follows this group's previous work on EROS and NOX2. In this current study the authors examine neutrophil EROS in the generation of superoxide by the NADPH oxidase. They demonstrate how EROS is involved in the maturation of gp91phox and expand our knowledge on the role of EROS in regulating expression of the P2x7 ion channel.

  Evaluation Summary:

  The strength of this paper is identifying a novel factor Bach2 that might be involved in the generation and/or maintenance of NK cells. To date, the full molecular network guiding the development, maturation and maintenance of NK cells has not been fully defined and Bach2 has not yet been investigated.
