Excellent article about the challenges and opportunities of nasal vaccines. Airway transmitted diseases like SARS-CoV-2, influenza, or Mycobacterium tuberculosis cause millions of cases and deaths around the world.

Nasal Vaccines and the Future of Immunization | ASM.org

Nasal vaccines trigger both mucosal and systemic immune responses to protect against respiratory infections. However, developing them requires overcoming barriers inside and outside the nose.

🚨 New paper out in Mucosal Immunology!
We used snRNA-seq + spatial validation to map human adenoids and found:
• Immature & mature M cells
• New interferon-responsive cells: WISP cells
• Key epithelial–immune interactions

Sometimes it is hard to plan ahead and imagine yourself in the future. But you made it until today so trust yourself and…keep swimming!

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death.

Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

It is interesting to see the public broadcaster in Spain stating that investing in science is key for the future of the country. I hope we all realize about that.
