Immune explains how antibody-mediated depletion of myeloid-hematopoietic stem cells in aged mice restores characteristic features of a more youthful immune system, including increasing common lymphocyte progenitors, naive T cells and B cells, while decreasing age-related markers of immune decline.
Immune discusses responses in a COVID hypervaccinated individual, synthetically glycosylated antigens for the antigen-specific suppression of established immune responses, gut bacteria–derived serotonin promotes immune tolerance in early life, and mucosal and systemic immune correlates of viral control after SARS-CoV-2 infection challenge.
Immune reviews research showing that the migration of neutrophils between endothelial cells activates bactericidal function via mechanosensing.
Juliet Morrison joins Immune to discuss her career and the research of her laboratory showing that pleural macrophages translocate to the lung during infection to promote improved influenza outcomes.
Ang Cui joins Immune to discuss her career and her work on establishing the Immune Dictionary, a compendium of single-cell transcriptomic profiles of more than 17 immune cell types in response to each of 86 cytokines (>1,400 cytokine-cell type combinations) in mouse lymph nodes in vivo.
Carla Nowosad joins Immune to discuss her career and her work on germinal centers, the structure in secondary lymphoid tissues where B cells proliferate, differentiate, and diversify their immunoglobulin genes by somatic hypermutation.

Immune reveals the total mass (1.2kg), number (1.8 trillion), and distribution of immune cells in the human body, with macrophages contributing nearly 50% of the total cellular mass.
From Cornell University in Ithaca New York, Vincent and Cindy meet with Ellen Rothenberg to review her career in science, starting with work on retroviruses to unraveling transcriptional networks underlying T-cell development and signaling.
Immune explains how, in a mouse model of roundworm infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, exposure to lung-migrating helminths protects mice against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Immune explains how mast cells, IgE antibody, and the brain collaborate to promote avoidance of certain foods to evade allergic responses.
