Article Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has been launched worldwide to build effective population-level immunity to curb the spread of this virus. The effectiveness and duration of protective immunity is a critical factor for public health. Here, we report the kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 specific immune response in 204 individuals up to 1-year after recovery from COVID-19. RBD-IgG and full-length spike-IgG concentrations and serum neutralizing capacity decreases during the first 6-months, but is maintained stably up to 1-year after hospital discharge. Even individuals who had generated high IgG levels during early convalescent stages had IgG levels that had decreased to a similar level one year later. Notably, the RBD-IgG level positively correlates with serum neutralizing capacity, suggesting the representative role of RBD-IgG in predicting serum protection. Moreover, viral-specific cellular immune protection, including spike and nucleoprotein specific, persisted between 6 months and 12 months. Altogether, our study supports the persistence of viral-specific protective immunity over 1 year.

Macrophage cannibalism: efferocytosis in atherosclerosis.

Purpose Of Review: This review explores the evolving understanding of efferocytosis - the clearance of dead or dying cells by phagocytes - in the context of atherosclerosis. It highlights recent discovers in cell death modalities, impaired clearance mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring efferocytosis to stabilize plaques and resolve inflammation.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have expanded the scope of efferocytosis beyond apoptotic cells to include other pro-inflammatory cell death modes, including pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis, revealing context-dependent clearance efficiency and immunological outcomes.

Adenosine A receptors (AARs) have shown promising therapeutic properties despite their controversial role in modulating stroke outcome. However, the temporal evolution of cerebral AARs density after cerebral ischemia and its subsequent neuroinflammatory response have been scarcely explored. In this study, the expression of AARs after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was evaluated in rats by positron emission tomography (PET) with [C]SCH442416 and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Introduction: Immunosenescence remodels immune functions and was first described with aging. It is present in 25% of cancer patients but has also been described in patients with Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). This study aims at quantifying cells exhibiting a phenotype of senescence in CD4+ (T4sen) and CD8+ (T8sen) T cells, analyzing its potential drivers and the effect of anti-TNF treatment in a prospective cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Sjögren disease (SjD).

Esophageal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death, often preceded with chronic inflammation and injuries. The NFκB/IKKβ pathway plays a central role in inflammation, yet its role in early esophageal carcinogenesis remains unclear. This study investigated the role of epithelial IKKβ in early esophageal carcinogenesis.

B cell tolerance is critical for preventing autoimmunity, yet the mechanisms by which B cells discriminate self from non-self antigens remain incompletely understood. While early findings emphasize the role of classical antigen-mediated BCR signaling strength by varying antigen formats, emerging evidence highlights the importance of mechanical cues during antigen recognition. This review explores how mechanosensitive ion channels, particularly Piezo1, contribute to B cell activation and tolerance by integrating physical forces at the immune synapse.
