Innate immune sensing of cell traversal by Plasmodium sporozoites drives protective T cell responses

The paper shows that Plasmodium sporozoites trigger innate immune responses via cell traversal, which is essential for activating protective CD8+ T cells.

Rewired type I IFN signaling is linked to age-dependent differences in COVID-19

This study identifies age-related rewiring of type I IFN signaling in immune cells linked to increased inflammation and altered antibody responses in COVID-19.
