OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this talk I will discuss how inflammation and end-stage (senescent) T cells collaborate to induce immunopathology in the skin, using human cutaneous leishmaniasis as a model. The interactions involved are likely to translate to many other clinical situatioins where senescent T cells and infammatioin co-exist in tissue envirionments. This raises the question of how best to tackle the problem and to reduce tissue damage. Should the T cells themselves, or the inflamed microenviroenviromnent, or both be the focus of drug targets.
