A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction to stay the work of CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The court found that many of the individuals appointed to serve, and the recommendations made by the committee failed to meet the expert guidance and scientific rigor required.

Metabolic adaptations rewire CD4+ T cells in a subset-specific manner in human critical illness with and without sepsis - Nature Immunology
Rathmell and colleagues show that metabolic reprograming of regulatory T cells is associated with severity of critical illness in patients with and without sepsis.

A show of bipartisan support for NIH. Basically flat except for ARPA-H. The President’s budget proposal basically ignored (as it should have been).
