SARS-CoV-2 rarely reaches first-trimester placentas but still disrupts early pregnancy immunity Researchers analyzing 761 first-trimester pregnancies found that SARS-CoV-2 was rarely detected in placental tissues, suggesting in utero transmission early in pregnancy is uncommon. However, maternal...

🧬 Even minimal SARS-CoV-2 exposure in early pregnancy can disrupt placental immune signaling - even when the virus is barely detectable. www.news-medical.net/news/2026041... #COVID #Pregnancy #Immunology

A new #HumanImmuneHealthAtlas published in Nature reveals that #ImmuneAgeing is a non-linear process starting earlier than we thought. By mapping these molecular transitions, we can better tailor vaccines and therapies to biological age, not just the clock.

We’re taking a closer look at immune ‘memory’ Vaccines teach the body to fight disease. We still have a lot to learn about how long that immune

According to the WHO, vaccine-induced immunity saves about six lives every minute.

But how long does this protective immune “memory” last?

Purine salvage pathway protects CD8+ T cells from metabolic stress - Nature Immunology Tajima et al. show that a transient or continuous high-fat diet induces metabolic changes in CD8+ T cells that lead to increased vulnerability to ferroptosis and reduced antitumor responses.

New paper from CCII researchers Masaki Tajima, Sidonia Fagarasan et al: a purine salvage pathway that helps CD8 T cells cope with metabolic stress and fend off ferroptosis.
