The world, in perspective.

With what seems like relatively little effort, hackers can hit us where we are most vulnerable, our food supplies

A new Finnish study reveals that just 30 minutes in a sauna can temporarily flood the bloodstream with additional white blood cells, potentially helping the immune system patrol the body and detect threats. The surprising response resembles the immune boost seen during exercise and may help explain some of the health benefits linked to sauna bathing.

Scientists at McGill University have discovered a surprising new ability of immune cells that could change how we understand long-term immunity. Researchers found that T cells can actually sense how stiff their surrounding tissues are, using these physical signals to help determine whether they develop into long-lasting memory cells that protect against futu

Wellspring University’s best graduating student, Nancy Popo, recounts her battle with a chronic autoimmune disorder while earning a 4.98 CGPA. Read More: https://punchng.com/wellspring-best-graduating-student-battles-autoimmune-disease-earns-4-98-cgpa/

Autoimmune conditions are much more common in women than men, which could partly be due to the fluctuating body temperatures that occur during the menstrual cycle and menopause

Researchers have uncovered a surprising reason dental implant infections often resist antibiotics: the implants themselves can contribute to the problem. Bacteria corrode titanium implants, releasing microscopic particles that hijack immune cells, trigger destructive inflammation, and accelerate jawbone loss.

Researchers have uncovered a hidden immune defense capable of attacking small cell lung cancer, an extremely aggressive disease that often escapes conventional treatments. The specialized immune cells can recognize and destroy cancer cells even when tumors have disguised themselves from the immune system.
