University of California - San Diego Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren't completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, however, thanks to a new study in GeroScience."Immune cell changes occur during aging for a number of reasons, but we still don't completely understand why we have fewer antibody-producing cells with age," said Leslie Crews, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, co-leader of the Hematologic Malignancies Research Program at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, and a member of the university's Sanford Stem Cell Institute.Crews' lab, in collaboration with researchers at UC Irvine, has found that decreased function of an enzyme called ELOVL2 (short for "elongation of very long chain fatty acids-like 2") speeds up immune system changes associated with aging.

US Staff Sergeant Gordon Black was sentenced by a court in the port city of Vladivostok in June 2024 to three years and nine months in jail. An appeals court cut that sentence to three years and two months, according to Russia's RIA and Tass state news agencies.The 34-year-old flew to Vladivostok in April 2024 to see his girlfriend, Alexandra Vashchuk, whom he had met while in South Korea. Black was arrested on 2 May after Vashchuk accused him of stealing from her and threatening to kill her.At his trial in June last year, he pleaded not guilty to making death threats but admitted he was partially guilty of taking the money, albeit out of necessity.The reduced sentencing comes amid signs of improving US-Russia ties, as US President Donald Tr...
