Origins of T‐cell‐mediated autoimmunity in acquired aplastic anaemia
Acquired aplastic anaemia (AA) is an autoimmune bone marrow failure disease caused by a cytotoxic T‐cell–mediated attack on haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Despite significant progress in understanding T‐cell repertoire alterations in AA, the identification of specific pathogenic T cells remains elusive.

Vaccination plays a crucial role in mediating protection against infectious diseases, but immune responses to vaccination are highly variable and frequently sub‐optimal in vulnerable populations. Here, we review the latest preclinical and clinical evidence demonstrating that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in regulating immune responses to ...
