A new study reveals that neutrophils have their genetic material modified by hypoxia and how the BCG vaccine may reverse this immune response.

Oncogenic Ras activation in permissive somatic cells triggers rapid-onset phenotypic plasticity and elicits a tumor-promoting neutrophil response
Ras mutations drive tumorigenesis yet persist in normal tissues. Elliot et al. explore
this paradox, finding that HRASG12V induces bifurcating cell fates in the zebrafish

IRR researchers and colleagues discover that the common childhood virus, RSV, leaves lasting ‘immune memory’ in lungs.
Proteins that help fight infection (MHCs) stay elevated, boosting protection for subsequent infections but also increases the risk of allergies.
