Immune cells can switch from ‘gang members’ to ‘police officers’
When the immune system overreacts, as in an allergic reaction, cells causing trouble can change into cells that dampen the reaction.
Watching the immune system in action reveals what happens when things goes wrong
Scientists are unveiling how our immune system works – and malfunctions – thanks to an innovative technology that tracks immune cells.
