Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of “non-self” tumor cells. However, in chronic ...

A recent Nature Immunology study explores the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during viral infection. Lymphoid tissues play a vital role in ...
