How the Immune System Remembers Malaria How does the Immune System Remembers Malaria? Researchers from Stanford have recently discovered a correlation of children in Uganda who have been infected by Malaria multiple times; and discovered that specialized CD4 T cells have played a part in building the body's immune response. The type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells helps the body remember it's defense against Malaria, which plays an important part in fighting off the disease. This immune response helps create immune memory, of which is the first observed action within humans. With this research, vaccine development might help create better outcomes to those afflicted with Malaria, which affect 260 million people and causes nearly 600,000 deaths world-wide. Learn more in this new episode of MedStory, hosted by Katie M. Kanagawa, PhD.

A specific group of T cells may explain why certain Ugandan children face severe illness when infected with #malaria — & others don't. Our latest #MedStory dives deeper into research led by DOM's Jason Fairbank Nideffer, Prasanna Jagannathan & Maria-Grazia Roncarolo: bit.ly/4fc6CXs
