Fresh insights into how immune cells are regulated could signal a new approach to tackling infections.
Fresh insights into how immune cells are regulated could signal a new approach to tackling infections.
Researchers have found that oxygen levels in the body can profoundly change the way immune cells behave.
Scientists say the findings pave the way for new therapies that target the immune response to infection, with the potential to boost existing antibiotic treatments.
Oxygen levels
The research in mice found that bacterial infections have vastly different outcomes depending on levels of oxygen in the body when the infection takes hold.
