Understanding age-related changes in T cells and vaccine response

As flu season approaches and public health officials roll out their annual push for vaccination, Allen Institute scientists are learning why vaccines can trigger a weaker response in older adults, around age 65, and what can be done to improve them.

New biofilm discovery may pave way to undermining antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas

The bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an unwelcome visitor in the human body. Serious infections can result when a bunch of these bugs settle together on a surface to form a biofilm - a community of microbes like the slime on spoiled food, but in this case residing inside a person.

Hypoxia weakens the body's infection defense by changing genetic material of neutrophils

Low oxygen levels in the blood can alter the genetic makeup of key immune cells, weakening the body's ability to fight infection, new research shows.

New mechanism behind potentially fatal type of epilepsy identified

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases.

Eliminating cockroaches drastically reduces household allergens and endotoxins

Researchers at North Carolina State University have shown a link between the size of cockroach home infestations and the levels of both allergens and endotoxins in those homes, with lowering roach infestation numbers through pest control triggering significant declines in the levels of allergens and endotoxins.

Mitochondria and lysosomes work together to control regulatory T cell activation

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system.

Leveraging the power of T cells for more effective and durable cancer immunotherapies

T cells play central roles in the adaptive immune response against cancer. Their functional inactivation is a primary driver of tumor progression, making the reactivation of T cell function a main goal in immunotherapy.
