This #firstreadfriday we have a guest blog from Claire Walker at #univesityoflincoln on why our bodies cannot always tell the difference between parasite and food.

As someone whose body seems to get confused about why I would want to eat and enjoy all kinds of food, understanding more about intolerance and allergy is always so helpful.

Thank you Claire for writing this one.

Rituximab (RTX), an intravenous drug primarily known for depleting B cells, has been found to also trigger positive metabolic changes in T cells, specifically improving energy production and lowering cellular stress in patients with nephrotic syndrome who respond favorably to the treatment.

It is a remarkably humbling realization that a single, unnoticed bite from an arthropod the size of an apple seed can completely rewrite an individual's relationship with the global food chain. Alpha-gal syndrome reminds us that the human immune system, for all its staggering sophistication and atomic-level precision, remains intimately and sometimes precariously tethered to the natural world.

First, a paper suggesting that random-sequence mRNA vaccines enhance anti-tumor effects, and now another claiming that random, nonspecific T cells are sufficient to eliminate tumors. So much for antigen specificity.

Tumor-derived antioxidants suppress immunity by depriving T cells of reactive oxygen species | Science
Every tool is neither good nor evil in itself. It's only determined by how we use it.
We're used to thinking of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as dangerous and harmful to cells: they directly damage DNA, causing mutations, and disrupt proteins, supporting signaling pathways that can contribute to cancer development. But even this "absolute evil" has a silver lining: ROS are found to be involved in T cell activation, thereby helping the immune system attack tumors. This paradoxical role of ROS is described in the new issue of Science. ROS oxidize certain phosphatases in T cells, shutting them down, and suppressing phosphatase activity is necessary for T cell activation.
Remarkably, tumors have a mechanism that interferes with this pathway of T cell activation. They release the antioxidant peroxiredoxin 1 into the intercellular space, which prevents ROS from supporting T-cell activation after contact with tumor cells.

Why are cancer vaccines so difficult to develop?

Scientists have been working on cancer vaccines for decades and yet there are still no cancer “vaccines” approved that actually work in a meaningful sense.

Strictly speaking, calling Moderna’s mRNA cancer neoantigen vaccines “personalized” is an immunological oxymoron when they are combined with a PD-1 inhibitor like Keytruda which broadly removes inhibitory brakes on T cells.
