New research from Dixit lab @yalemed.bsky.social showing nerve-associated macrophages (NAMs) decline in aging which impairs the breakdown of fat and increases inflammaging. Dixit addresses the biology of aging and intercommunication between nerves and macrophages. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Nerve-associated macrophages control adipose homeostasis across lifespan and restrain age-related inflammation - Nature Aging
Gonzalez-Hurtado, Leveau and colleagues characterize adipose resident tissue macrophages across lifespan in mice, finding that nerve-associated macrophages, which mitigate inflammation and control lipolysis and catecholamine resistance, are lost during aging.

New from LJI's Vijayanand Lab —

Researchers discover the cellular driver that leads to tissue resident memory T cell (TRM) development. Their findings offer a way to boost TRM cell numbers to better fight disease.

Beyond flu, intranasal platforms are also being develop for a range of pathogens.

Understanding immune dynamics at the tissue site, and being able to directly measure them in humans, may dramatically improve development of vaccines that elicit robust protection against respiratory viruses.
