Guest:
Dr. Jennifer Gommerman is a Professor of Immunology at the University of Toronto. Her team has uncovered a novel gut-brain axis that regulates neuroinflammation and is examining the role of B lymphocytes in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients and in animal models of MS. More recently, she has been studying the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 in saliva samples from patients with COVID-19.

The Immunology Science Round Up
Neutralizing Antibody Responses to Omicron – SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity wanes over time after two mRNA vaccine doses.
Determining T Cell Fate – Researchers identified T cell antigen receptor sequence features that promote regulatory T cell fate.
Fungi in the Gut – Mucosa-associated fungi protect mice against intestinal injury and infection via interleukin-22-dependent mechanisms.
T Cells in Glioblastomas – T cell dysfunction in the glioblastoma microenvironment is mediated by myeloid cells releasing interleukin-10.
