Metabolic reprogramming of efferocytosis in the tumour microenvironment: From apoptotic‐cell clearance to therapeutic targeting

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review systematically deconstructs the pathological efferocytic—metabolic axis in tumours, framing it as a three‐stage, self‐reinforcing cycle: from metabolite‐driven macrophage recruitment, through hijacked surface recognition, to post‐phagocytic metabolic reprogramming that locks in immunosuppression.

Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Enhances Immune Responses to the Current Seasonal Influenza Vaccine in Mice

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 68-79, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Influenza A and B viruses cause annual epidemics and continue to pose global public health concerns. The most effective approach to preventing or mitigating the severity of influenza is vaccination. Inactivated split influenza HA vaccines are commonly used worldwide due to their strong safety profile and broad range of target groups; however ...

Characterising the Transcriptomic Response to Interferon and Infection in European Domestic Ferret Respiratory Tissues Using Long‐Read RNA Sequencing

Immunology, Volume 177, Issue 2, Page 299-316, February 2026.
We utilised long‐read Nanopore sequencing to characterise the transcriptome of ferret cell lines stimulated with IFN‐α as well as nasal turbinates from ferrets infected with influenza A virus. We identified novel genes and isoforms and observed elongation of poly(A) tails in the ribosome and Coronavirus Disease‐19 pathways in response to IFN‐α ...
