…B-cell responses after vaccination and infection, including the function and dynamics of memory B-cell reactivation. Its application to vaccination studies illustrates how single-cell measurements can inform HIV-1 vaccine design.

…a proposed reflex that could connect infection to longer-lasting symptoms and guide future work on biomarkers.

Blood production can be rapidly reorganised after infection or marrow injury. This lecture follows the molecular, cellular and metabolic responses of stem and progenitor cells that accelerate myeloid-cell output. It then examines how persistent or misdirected activation of these emergency mechanisms can contribute to chronic inflammatory disease and cancer.

…production and responses to infection and inflammation.

…useful in pregnancy, transplantation, infection and cancer. The lecture follows the development of blood-based tests that can replace some invasive tissue-sampling procedures.
