The Immunology Science Round Up

Linking Neutrophil Death and Lupus – Researchers showed that neutrophils from either lupus-prone mice or patients with systemic lupus erythematosus undergo ferroptosis.

Alterations in Red Blood Cells Contribute to Lupus – Scientists found that lupus may be triggered by a defective process in the development of red blood cells.

TCF-1 Regulates Distinct Treg Cell Functions – Researchers discovered how the transcription factor TCF-1 in Tregs modulates polyps formation in colon cancer.

mRNA Vaccines Produce Strong Immune Response – Scientists showed that mRNA vaccines that protect against COVID-19 produce a robust T cell response.
