There’s a new cell-based cancer immunotherapy on the block.

The Oxford researcher’s work on lipid and peptide antigens revealed key mechanisms in inflammation, immunotherapy, and vaccination, which are being pursued in clinical trial treatments.

The low-carb, high-fat diet increases the presence of gamma-delta T cells in the animals’ lungs, improving a mucus barrier against the virus.

An experiment delves into how the microbiome shapes immunity.

Researchers report they’ve found a way to restore immune function in infants with one form of “bubble boy disease.”
