Eliciting broad and durable antibody responses against rapidly evolving pathogens like influenza viruses remains a formidable challenge. The germinal center (GC) reaction enables the immune system to generate broad, high-affinity, and durable antibody responses to vaccination. mRNA-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines induce persistent GC B cell responses in humans.

Background: Without treatment, nearly 50 % of tuberculosis (TB) patients die. World Health Organization's definition of TB deaths does not take into consideration whether the cause of death was TB or other non-TB co-morbid conditions. We aimed to improve our knowledge of the causes of death in patients with TB.

Dyspepsia is a very common condition worldwide and has an immense impact on quality of life. Functional dyspepsia (FD) is defined by dyspeptic symptoms with the absence of any structural abnormality that can explain the cause. Ultrasonography (US) is a non-invasive imaging modality that can be applied to assess gastric function.

Although treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) has undergone a revolution in the last decades, at least two important barriers remain: alleviation of innate inflammation driving disease progression and promotion of remyelination and neural regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory properties and promote remyelination in murine MS models. The main therapeutic mechanism has, however, been attributed to their potent paracrine capacity, and not to in vivo tissue implantation.

Purpose: To perform an extensive investigation of the clinical features and long-term complications among the n = 134 adults and children with nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) verified SARS-CoV-2-infection in the immunologically naïve population of Ulvik, Norway, during the single variant B.1.1.

Solid epithelial cancers with significant desmoplasia are characterized by an excessive deposition of collagen-based matrix, which often supports tumor progression. However, the mechanism of how collagen receptors mediate collagen fibrillogenesis still remains mostly unclear. We show that the collagen-binding integrin α11β1 can co-localize with tensin-1 and deposited collagen I in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) stroma.

Background: Calling for help is the first link in the chain of survival; however, few studies have investigated the challenges faced by frequent callers (FCs) to emergency medical communication centres (EMCCs). This study aimed to explore the characteristics of FCs and the nature of their calls to the Bergen EMCC, Norway.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of all emergency calls to the Bergen EMCC over three consecutive years (2019-2021).

Muscle diseases cover a diverse group of disorders that in most cases are hereditary. The rarity of the individual muscle diseases provides a challenge for researchers when wanting to establish natural history of the conditions and when trying to develop diagnostic tools, therapies, and outcome measures to evaluate disease progression. With emerging molecular therapies in many genetic muscle diseases, as well as biological therapies for the immune-mediated ones, biological biomarkers play an important role in both drug development and evaluation.

This qualitative study explored the experiences of individuals testing a novel internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy program (iACT) for patients with mild and moderate depressive disorder. Twelve participants, consisting of one male and 11 females with a history of depression but not currently depressed were recruited. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted after 14 days of access to the iACT without therapist guidance.

Actin is a critical component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. In animals, actins undergo unique N-terminal processing by dedicated enzymes resulting in mature acidic and acetylated forms. The final step, N-terminal acetylation, is catalyzed by NAA80 in humans.

Background: This report summarizes the discussions and conclusions from the "Correlates of Protection for Next Generation Influenza Vaccines: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic" meeting, which took place in Seattle, USA, from March 1, 2023, to March 3, 2023.
Conclusions: Discussions around influenza virus correlates of protection and their use continued from where the discussion had been left off in 2019. While there was not much progress in the influenza field itself, many lessons learned during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, especially the importance of mucosal immunity, were discussed and can directly be applied to influenza correlates of protection.
