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 final of five special episodes from the meeting, where Brenda and Jason talk about sessions including the dysfunction of exhaustive T cells enforced by MCT11-mediated lactate metabolism and extrafollicular differentiated B cells, presented by former podcast guest Dr. Frances Lund.


IMMUNOLOGY2024™: Day 5
May 8, 2024
Dr. Frances Lund, a renowned immunologist known for her research on T cell dysfunction and B cell differentiation, shares her latest findings. They delve into the impacts of lactate metabolism on exhausted T cells and the fascinating role of mitochondria in immune dynamics. The discussion highlights novel pathways of B cell responses that operate independently of T cells, offering insights into autoimmune diseases and vaccine development. They wrap up the conversation with reflections from the IMMUNOLOGY2024 conference.
