Adaptive immunity in barrier tissues
Immune responses lie at the heart of almost every aspect of human health, including host responses to infection, autoimmunity, cancer, metabolism and aging. While adaptive immune responses by B and T…
@angelettilab.bsky.socialOur latest study by PhD student #RomainGailleton shows that upon #influenza infection, #Bcell can respond rapidly by forming ectopic #GerminalCenter within the nasal tissue.
The work has just been published in @pnas.org (1/N)
