Unexpected Link Found Between Immune Cells, Weight Control, Disease Resistance
New research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine has shown how our DNA determines our ability to fight viruses, revealing that many genes work together to control immune cells, tissue inflammation, and even our body weight after infection. The research could one day allow doctors to tweak immune cells to enhance their ability to destroy viruses. It may also assist in developing new vaccines, among other benefits.
