Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have identified key differences in how immune cells generate and use energy, a process known as cellular metabolism, in people with latent versus active tuberculosis (TB). The findings offer new insights into why s…
Long regarded as cells involved primarily in allergic responses and antiparasitic defense, eosinophils are now drawing increasing attention in oncology. A review article led by Marie Gilon, an oncology resident physician and Ph.D. candidate at the Univ…
