Study sheds light on the molecular biology behind genetic epilepsy

Sometimes, even the alteration of a single nucleotide in a gene can cause serious disease. In a young boy with epilepsy, this kind of mutation has not just affected the functioning of the protein in question – it could also curb the functioning of several closely related proteins.

Study suggests that recall of B cell memory may depend on relative locations of prime and boost immunization

A new study investigated whether a specific population of local Bmem cells in the proximal LNs produce secondary GC responses that are different from those at distal sites and if the location in humoral immunity is relevant only to nonlymphoid tissues.
