International Economic Review, 2013 AbstractLegal provisions that protect elected politicians from prosecution have been common throughout history and still exist in most democracies. We provide the first systematic measurement of immunity and study, theoretically and empirically, its relation to corruption. Theory predicts that immunity is a double‐edged sword.

Interaction between microbiota and immunity in health and disease
Cell Research, 2020 The interplay between the commensal microbiota and the mammalian immune system development and function includes multifold interactions in homeostasis and disease. The microbiome plays critical roles in the training and development of major components of

Biomedicines, 2022 Thyroid hormones have immunomodulatory roles, but their effects on the transcriptome and epigenome of innate immune cell types remain unexplored. In this study, we investigate the effects of triiodothyronine (T3) on the transcriptome and methylome of ...

The trinity of COVID-19: immunity, inflammation and intervention
Nature reviews. Immunology, 2020 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Alongside investigations into the virology of SARS-CoV-2, understanding the fundamental physiological and ...

Oxylipin metabolism is controlled by mitochondrial β-oxidation during bacterial inflammation
Nature Communications, 2022 Oxylipins are lipid mediators generated during infection for regulating inflammatory responses, but how they are removed is not completely clear. Here the authors show that cellular oxylipin removal is linked to mitochondria β-oxidation by CPT1, a ...

Nature Communications, 2022 Blockade of CD28 costimulation with CTLA-4-Ig/Abatacept is used to dampen effector T cell responses in autoimmune and transplantation settings. However, a significant drawback of this approach is impaired regulatory T cell homeostasis that requires CD28 ...

Nature Communications, 2022 Many cancer immune therapy approaches depend on an HLA-restricted neoantigen-specific T cell response. AUs show here that Zoledronic acid can expand, and induce tumour recognition by, a population of tissue resident memory gamma-delta T cells associated ...

The evolution of resistance through costly acquired immunity [PDF]
, 2004 We examine the evolutionary dynamics of resistance to parasites through acquired immunity. Resistance can be achieved through the innate mechanisms of avoidance of infection and reduced pathogenicity once infected, through recovery from infection and ...

Innate cell profiles during the acute and convalescent phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children
Nature Communications, 2021 Childhood infection with SARS CoV2 is associated with a milder course of infection but the immunopathogenesis of this remains unclear. Here the authors explore immunological differences in the innate immune system during acute and convalescent SARS CoV2 ...
