In May 2024, we attended IMMUNOLOGY2024, the annual meeting of the American Association of Immunologists in Chicago, and recorded daily episodes discussing highlights of the previous 24 hours. Here is the second of five special episodes from the meeting. Brenda and Jason discuss highlights from sessions including microbial and environmental influences on the gut and recent breakthroughs in emerging therapeutic strategies for chronic inflammatory and fibrotic diseases.


IMMUNOLOGY2024™: Day 2
May 5, 2024
Highlights from the annual immunology meeting spark intriguing discussions around gut health, showcasing how environmental factors and IgA deficiency influence inflammation. Recent advances in T-cell therapies reveal innovative strategies for treating chronic inflammatory diseases. Fascinating developments in autoimmunity involve groundbreaking PD-1 agonist research and the use of machine learning for antibody optimization. Allergy research uncovers a critical link to hyper IgE phenotypes, enhancing our understanding of immune regulation.
