🧬💡 mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines train the ‘long-term memory’ of the #immunesystem📚
A study by researchers from the #UniCologne and the University Clinic Cologne shows that mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 not only trigger classical #immuneresponses, but also have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These changes may enable the human body to respond faster and more broadly to future #infections. 🦠

Forschende der Universität zu Köln zeigen, dass COVID-19-Impfstoffe auf der Grundlage von mRNA das angeborene Immunsystem langfristig prägen. Diese Mechanismen können bewirken, dass der menschliche Körper auf künftige Infektionen schneller und breiter reagieren kann / Veröffentlichung in „Molecular Systems Biology“

Barriga et al. develop MACHETE, a genome engineering strategy enabling the flexible modeling of megabase-sized deletions and show that the concomitant loss of the interferon cluster with CDKN2A/B deletions on 9p21.3 enhances immune evasion.
