Description
Mafalda Meunier leads a team of fourteen in a 2026 study on steering immune cells against leishmaniasis, a parasite disease spread by sand flies. Dendritic cells spark the T cell arm of immunity, so they are a natural lever for tailored care. The team primed these cells with tiny parcels shed by the parasite.
In lab dishes, the primed cells switched on sensing genes and showed more of the surface flags that present targets to T cells. T cells grown with them shifted their mix in response. The authors frame the work as a step toward patient-matched immune therapy for this disease.
