Background: Very high serum IgE (≥1000 IU/mL) is reported in atopic disorders. However, data on its significance in nonallergic disorders are limited.
Objective: We aimed to analyze the diagnostic value of very high IgE in adults.

The hyper-unstable Chr9p21 locus, harbouring the interferon gene cluster, oncogenes and , is linked to multiple diseases. (GGGGCC)n expansions (Exp) are associated with incompletely penetrant amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia and autoimmune disorders. Exp patients display hyperactive cGAS-STING-linked interferon immune and DNA damage responses, but the source of immunostimulatory or damaged DNA is unknown.

Exactly why human infection of avian influenza A virus H7N9 causes more severe disease in the elderly remains elusive. In this study, we found that H7N9 PB1-F2 is a pathogenic factor in 15-18-month-old BALB/C mice (aged mice) but not in 6-8-week-old young adult mice (young mice). Recombinant influenza A virus with H7N9 PB1-F2-knockout was less pathogenic in aged mice as indicated with delayed weight loss.

Ageing is a major risk factor that contributes to increased mortality and morbidity rates during influenza A virus (IAV) infections. Macrophages are crucial players in the defense against viral infections and display impaired function during ageing. However, the impact of ageing on macrophage function in response to an IAV infection remains unclear and offers potential insight for underlying mechanisms.
