As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

Dietary iron deficiency in mice alters lung T cell activation during influenza infection and leads to memory T cells that are ...

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...

New data highlight liver-encoded delivery of immune modulators as a strategy to mitigate age-related immune dysfunction.

The field of immunology of ageing is rapidly evolving, with T cells playing a pivotal role in maintaining immune competence and overall organismal ...

New research published in The Journal of Immunology suggests that a lack of dietary iron can negatively affect the ability of immune cells to respond to viral infection in the lungs. In mice with ...

Murine data suggest dietary iron deficiency preserves influenza specific memory T cell numbers yet impairs cytokine effector ...
