T cells activated by mRNA vaccines are effective against Alpha, Beta, and Gamma COVID-19 variants
Research into other aspects of COVID-19 immunity is swiftly developing
Like Goldilocks, T cells need just the right environment to grow quickly
Adoptive cell therapies for cancer require the production of lots of T cells, so finding the right substrate is key
The immune systems of males and females respond to COVID-19 differently
Male patients had lower T cell responses, whereas female patients showed higher cytokines
