Happy to share our Comment article in @NatureMicrobiol. nature.com/articles/s41564-0… Acute infections can leave lasting imprints on chronic disease risk, health, and aging. We argue that vaccine evaluation should capture protection against both acute illness and its long-term consequences.

The heart’s halo: doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.…
@JustinDeniset & team @LibinInstitute @UCalgary discover immune cells in the pericardial fluid have anti-fibrotic properties. The team found macrophages that surround the heart release a factor (cystatin C) that prevents scarring following a heart attack.
The figure: Cst3ΔLyz2 mice showed increased border zone fibrosis compared with WT littermates.
