New research, led by LJI scientists, offers a potential way to boost tissue-resident memory T cell numbers to better fight disease.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is a highly lethal, tick-borne disease found across Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, yet it remains understudied and without approved treatments or vaccines. A new study in npj Vaccines reports a promising vaccine made from a non-infectious form of the virus. In mice, it provided rapid protection and long-lasting immunity, offering new hope for preventing this deadly infection.

University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have shown that reducing chronic inflammation can significantly protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in preclinical models. The findings were recently published in Nature Cell Death and Disease.

In the search for a way to measure different forms of a condition called sensory processing disorder, neuroscientists are using imaging to see how young brains process sensory stimulation.
