Novel open-source diagnostic tool offers affordable, reliable pathogen detection for resource-limited settings
A bottleneck in ensuring access to widespread molecular diagnostics, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has been the high cost and logistical complexities associated with rapid, point-of-care tests. Now, a collaborative research effort outlined in a Life Science Alliance (LSA) study to be published July 14, 2025 has addressed these challenges by developing a lyophilized (freeze-dried) open-source reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for pathogen detection.

Researchers discover how cigarette smoke impairs critical lung immune cells
Cigarette smoking is widespread and deadly, yet our understanding of how cigarette smoke actually causes serious respiratory illnesses is incomplete, which has severely hampered the development of effective treatments. Australian researchers reveal how multiple chemicals found in cigarette smoke and e-cigarettes alter the function of a key type of immune cell found in the lungs. Read more...

International Alliance for Primary Immunodeficiency Societies selects Rockefeller University Press to publish new Journal of Human Immunity
The International Alliance for Primary Immunodeficiency Societies (IAPIDS) and Rockefeller University Press (RUP) have entered a partnership to launch Journal of Human Immunity (JHI), the official open access journal of IAPIDS. This collaboration will ensure that JHI emerges as the destination for exciting research into human immunity, with a particular focus on inborn errors of immunity. Read more...

Artificial lymphoid organs could help predict efficacy of booster vaccines
Researchers at the Institut Pasteur in France have developed artificial “lymphoid organ-chips” that recreate much of the human immune system’s response to booster vaccines. The technology, described in an article to be published September 6 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), could potentially be used to evaluate the likely effectiveness of new protein and mRNA-based booster vaccines for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

Embargo policy

Rockefeller University Press (RUP) makes embargoed material available to eligible journalists and public information officers for research articles appearing in its journals: Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM),  Journal of General Physiology (JGP), and Journal of Human Immunity (JHI). Eligible individuals must agree to follow the terms of the RUP embargo policy:

• Stories or reports on research articles may not be published or placed in the public domain until 10:00 a.m. US Eastern Time on the day of publication. Precise embargo dates and times are clearly marked on all advance material.
• Public information officers (PIOs) may not distribute embargoed materials in the public domain before the embargo date. However, embargoed materials may be distributed to the media by public information officers. Such releases must be clearly identified as embargoed and must include the embargo date and time. PIOs are responsible for taking all necessary steps to ensure that the embargo is honored by all third parties.
