Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological sex has a significant impact on how the immune system develops and responds to foreign and self‐antigens. Sex differences exist in innate and adaptive immune cells, both at homeostasis and in the context of infection and inflammatory diseases such as asthma, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.

The “Reducing Inflammation for Greater Health Trial (RIGHT)” Study—Concept, Rationale, and Design

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 636-647, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Reducing Inflammation for Greater Health Trial's (RIGHT) study is a single‐center, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial designed to test whether clazkizumab, an interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) inhibitor, can improve or slow decline in physical, cognitive, and vascular function in older adults, when compared to a placebo.

Late‐Onset Mesalazine‐Induced Eosinophilic Pneumonitis Presenting as Non‐Resolving Pneumonia: A Diagnostic Pitfall in Ulcerative Colitis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Mesalazine is widely used in the management of ulcerative colitis and is generally well tolerated. Rarely, it can cause eosinophilic pneumonitis, a potentially serious form of drug‐induced lung injury that often mimics infection. We report a 24‐year‐old male with longstanding ulcerative colitis on mesalazine therapy for 2 years and 4 months ...

Meningococcal Serogroup Y Meningitis Reveals Inborn Factor B Deficiency

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 2, February 2026.
We report a novel case of complete complement Factor B deficiency revealed by invasive meningococcal disease. Using combined functional and genetic analyses, we demonstrate that loss of Factor B abolishes alternative pathway activity despite detectable protein levels. These findings provide a mechanistic framework relevant to complement diagnostics and
