Map of Immune System Connections Reveals New Therapeutic Opportunities
Published:10 Aug.2022 Source:Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
A first of its kind comprehensive map of the network of connections that make up the human immune system has been created, which could lead to new immunotherapies to treat cancer, infectious diseases, and other conditions where immune responses play a role.
In creating the immune system map, scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, ETH Zürich, and collaborators show how immune cells across the body link up and communicate.
