Scientists reveal the possibility to improve immunological memory in vaccines

A key transcription factor in T-cell immunology is crucial to the immune system's "memory" in recognizing threats it has already faced before – and it may be possible to improve this immunological memory in vaccines, according to a new paper by scientists at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation.

Study reveals sex-dimorphic immune imprints and in vivo functional impacts of mild COVID-19

Researchers used a systems immunology approach to analyze the immune states of healthy and non-obese subjects who recovered from mild COVID-19 and compared them with age- and sex-matched COVID-19-naive controls.

Immune responses in patients with varying degrees of SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent research article published in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers looked at immunological responses in relation to established risk factors for serious illness. This prospective cohort study reports on long-lasting SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody and T-cellular immune responses six months after infection in rt-PCR confirmed cases of different illness severity (community and hospitalized patients).
