Newborn T Cells Excel in Immune Response Compared to Adults

Scientists have long believed that a newborn's immune system was an immature version of an adult's, but new research from Cornell University shows that newborns' T cells – white blood cells that protect from disease – outperform those of adults at fighting off numerous infections.

Researchers Unveil New Mechanism of Immune Cell Training in Thymus Gland

Immune cells must learn not to attack the body itself. A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) has discovered a previously unknown mechanism behind this: other immune cells, the B cells, contribute to the "training" of the T cells in the thymus gland.

Investigating the Link Between Metabolism and Intestinal Development

Intestines can reach a length of 15 feet or more; how does it fit within human bodies properly? The gut tube dramatically loops and rotates to bundle the extending intestine as the digestive system grows. Intestinal malrotation is a common, but poorly understood, birth defect caused by the failure of the gut to rotate correctly during development.
