Abstract:
In this article for the Highlights of 2023 Series, significant advancements in pediatric immunology are discussed, focusing on new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Key studies include the integration of genomic and proteomic profiling for better diagnosis of inborn errors of immunity, the impact of nongenetic factors such as autoantibodies on immune responses, the promising use of Janus kinase inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy for treating immune deficiencies and autoimmune diseases and the potential for a curative approach using prime editing. These developments mark a shift toward personalized and precision medicine in pediatric immunology.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
