Abstract

A fugue is characterized by the systematic repetition of a principal theme in simultaneous melodic lines. In this issue of Immunity, Druzd et al. (2017) show that a similar phenomenon occurs in lymph nodes (LNs), in which lymphocyte entry and exit is governed by repetitive circadian rhythms.
