How metabolic rewiring influences macrophage function
Recently, a group from the Cologne Excellence Cluster on Cellular Stress Responses in Aging Associated Diseases, studied how macrophage fumarate hydratase restrains mtRNA-mediated interferon production...
Early loss of a parent may impact our immune systems
A recent paper has shed light on the long-term impact of parental loss or separation on immune function in late life. The study revealed that if a child under the age of 16 experienced the death of a parent or caregiver, or a separation lasting longer than six months, their immune function was adversely affected later in life...
