Children with mitochondrial problems had a lower immune response to viral
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
In recent research, researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that infants with mitochondrial abnormalities had altered B cell activity, which led to a weaker and less diverse antibody response to viral infections. The study, published in Frontiers in Immunology, was

Study reveals how extracellular vesicles boost T cells
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
T cells, a key element of the immune system, are crucial in preventing viral infections. Extracellular vesicles are shown to be crucial in the activation of these cells in a mouse model by a team led by Prof. Thomas Brocker and Jan Kranich from the LMU Biomedical Center.
