Yale researchers have discovered that the eye not only serves as an immunological barrier protecting the brain from pathogens and tumours, but can also be a novel avenue for vaccine delivery, potentially offering new treatments for brain encephalitis and other conditions.

From University of Washington School of Medicine/UW Medicine 12/02/24 Unexpected findings have emerged about how and when certain infection-killing white blood cells decide to form memories about their encounters with a pathogen. It has been known for decades that these cells can turn themselves into durable memory cells that can survive a long time after […]

From Karolinska Institutet 28/08/23 A new study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has examined how T cells of the immune system are affected by weightlessness. The results, which are published in the journal Science Advances, could explain why astronauts’ T cells become less active and less effective at fighting infection. The next steps […]
