Exposure to P. falciparum and common cold viruses shape vaccine responses in early life
Florian A. Bach, George B. Sigal, Jacob N. Wohlstadter…·Prasanna Jagannathan
The paper examines how exposure to P. falciparum and common cold viruses influences vaccine responses in Ugandan infants, finding positive associations between microbial exposure and antibody levels.

Circulating T-follicular helper and type I regulatory T cells have overlapping phenotypes in P. falciparum malaria and are maintained by parasite exposure.
Mayimuna Nalubega, Damian A. Oyong, Dean W. Andrew…·Michelle J. Boyle
The paper characterizes malaria-specific Tfh and Tr1 cells in a longitudinal cohort, finding overlapping phenotypes and showing their decline after transmission interruption.

CXCR6⁺ CD127- Tr1 Cells Balance Immunity and Persistence in Plasmodium falciparum Infection
Jason Nideffer, Florian A. Bach, Steven Strubbe…·Prasanna Jagannathan
The paper identifies CXCR6⁺ CD127⁻ Tr1 cells as key regulators in Plasmodium falciparum infection, showing they balance immunity and parasite persistence.

Maternal malaria and early-life infections shape humoral immunity to P. falciparum in infants
Felistas Nankya, Florian A. Bach, Kathleen D. Press…·Prasanna Jagannathan
The paper examines how maternal malaria and early-life infections affect P. falciparum-specific antibody responses in infants, finding no protective association between maternal antibodies or early infections and clinical malaria.

Congenital CMV infection drives oligoclonal expansion of cytotoxic γδ T cells from early fetal progenitors
Justine Levan, Anna V. Vaaben, Jessica Tsui…·Margaret E. Feeney
The paper shows congenital CMV infection leads to oligoclonal expansion of cytotoxic γδ T cells with fetal-like TCR features in neonates.

Inhibitory NK receptors regulate the γδ T cell response to malaria
Meagan E. Olive, Perri C. Callaway, Mikias Ilala…·Margaret E. Feeney
The paper examines inhibitory NK receptors on γδ T cells in Ugandan children, finding that some enhance and others reduce antimalarial responses to repeated infections.
