American Association for the Advancement of Science: Bladder Immune Cells' Memory Deficit May Aid Re-Infection
WASHINGTON, May 27 (TNSjou) -- The American Association for the Advancement of Science issued the following news:
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) reoccur easily, in part, because one type of bladder immune cells is slow to develop immune memory, finds a Science Immunology study in mice. While the results are too preliminary to inform clinical guidelines for treating UTIs, the new work spotlights a less-studied cell population that could be exploited by researchers during the UTI vac . . .
