Vaccine patch under the tongue protected aged mice from flu

When aged mice were exposed to influenza, the patch provided 100% protection, compared with 75–80% protection from injected formulations.When aged mice were exposed to influenza, the patch provided 100% protection, compared with 75–80% protection from injected formulations.

Preprint: experiments in young and aged mice, against aged mice receiving an injected boostInterventions

Limit: Protection was measured after injected priming, not with the patch alone

Some immune cells hindered digit-tip regrowth in mice

Cell-transfer experiments in mice lacking lymphoid immune cells found that regulatory immune cells rescued regeneration inhibited by another immune-cell type.Cell-transfer experiments in mice lacking lymphoid immune cells found that regulatory immune cells rescued regeneration inhibited by another immune-cell type.

Experiments in lymphoid-deficient mutant mice, against mice receiving CD8 T cellsImmune response

Limit: The experiments did not assess how aging affects digit-tip regeneration

Diesel-derived chemical triggers scarring signals in kidney cells

Experiments in kidney cells grown in the lab found that a diesel exhaust breakdown product caused lasting DNA damage and signals that activated connective-tissue cells.Experiments in kidney cells grown in the lab found that a diesel exhaust breakdown product caused lasting DNA damage and signals that activated connective-tissue cells.
