Shocking Revelation: Cornell Veterinary Researchers Unveil Babies' Supercharged Immune Systems Outperforming Adults
Scientists have long believed that a newborn’s immune system was an immature version of an adult’s, but new research from Cornell University that newborns’ T cells — white blood cells that protect from disease — outperform those of adults at fighting off numerous infections.
These results help clarify why adults and infants respond differently to infections and pave the way for controlling T cells’ behavior for therapeutic applications.
This discovery was described in a paper published in Science Immunology on Feb. 23, co-led by Brian Rudd, associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), and Andrew Grimson, professor of molecular biology and genetics at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS).
