What if cytokine therapies could be delivered only where they’re needed? Using targeted gene delivery to the lung, we show it’s possible to locally control inflammation and limit pathology—without systemic effects. New research from @labliston.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Gene delivery of immunomodulatory cytokines to the lung preserves respiratory function during inflammatory challenge
Altering the lung microenvironment with immunomodulatory cytokine gene therapy improves lung pathology.

AI uncovers immune defect in Alzheimer’s disease
An international team of scientists led by a St Catharine’s Fellow has successfully harnessed artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover a defect in the immune system of people living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) – providing new evidence about how this poorly-understood disease progresses and how it could be treated.
