Abstract
Th17 cells produce a range of characteristic Th17 type cytokines and express transcription factors governed by epigenetic regulation to engage the Th17 programme. Here the authors implicate the RNA 5- methylcytosine (m5C) methyltransferase Nsun2 in Th17 cells and the promotion of colitis in a murine model.
