Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

Using SCP-Nano, the researchers demonstrated that DNA origami structures can be preferentially targeted to the immune cells, while AAV variants target distinct brain regions and adipose tissue.

The results of the study, published in the journal Nature, highlighted striking effects of exercise on the immune system ...

Chronic low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue, marked by increased proinflammatory immune cell infiltration and cytokine release, is a significant characteristic of obesity and plays a role in ...
