As we age our immune systems decline. Older people suffer from increased incidence and severity of both infections and cancer. In addition, vaccination becomes less efficient with age. Researchers from UCL have demonstrated how an interplay between nutrition, metabolism and immunity is involved in the process of ageing. The two new studies could help to enhance our immunity to disease through dietary intervention and help make existing immune system therapies more effective.

This video describes the Immune System and explains how it detects and attacks any foreign organism that enters the body.

We learn how the team in the MRC Centre for Transplantation at King’s College London have developed a way to harness the power of the Immune System after a transplant, whilst maintaining the body’s capacity to resist infectious diseases.

Produced by Figment Productions.

Severe Acute Malnutrition

Dr Jay Berkley works in the KEMRI/Wellcome Trust Collaborative Research Programme in Kilifi, Kenya. His research interests include tackling infection and inflammation to prevent mortality in malnourished children. He is also an expert advisor on severe acute malnutrition to the Ministries of Health, and the World Health Organisation

Childhood mortality in relation to nutrition

Malnutrition underlies between a quarter and a third of childhood mortality worldwide. It increases susceptibility to infectious diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea. A better understanding of the relationship between the child and the bacteria in their gut helps develop better treatments such as food supplementation or preventive treatment with low dose antibiotics.
