The recent discovery and characterization of T helper 17 cells (Th17) and their signature cytokines (IL-17) represents a hallmark in T-cell immunobiology by providing a new distinctive pathway for the communication between adaptive and innate immunity. From the six members of the IL-17 cytokine fami

Abstract
T helper 17 (TH17) cells have wellβdescribed roles in autoimmune disease. However, TH17 is not stable in some physiological or pathological courses. Also, TH17 cells can reciprocally modulate and convert into other helper T cell subpopulations. The fully exploring the reciprocal regulatory effects and its immunoregulatory mechanisms are becoming interesting topics in the immunological study. In this review, we summarized reciprocal modulation pattern between TH17 cell and other helper T cell subpopulations in the mouse model of autoimmune diseases and human diseases. J. Cell.

## Abstract RegulatoryβT (T~reg~) cells play a key role in the maintenance of the immune system homeostasis. T~reg~ cells can be generated in the periphery under control of TGFβΞ², a cytokine involved in the negative control of the immune system. However, TGFβΞ² cooperates with ILβ6 in the generation
