Bioengineering immunity. A type of novel T cell genetically engineered by University of Arizona researchers is able to âtarget and attackâ pathogenic T cells that cause Type 1 diabetes, which may pave the way for new immunotherapy treatments. T cells, which are a type of white blood cell associated with the thymus gland, are critical elements of the immune system. Michael Kuhns, an associate professor in UAâs Department of Immunobiology, engineered a âfive-module chimeric antigen receptor,â or 5MCAR, T cell.

In some cases, people have reported lingering effects for months after getting the infection.
According to the CDC, older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions, like heart or lung disease or diabetes, may be at risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19. However, young people and otherwise healthy people have had major complications that have led to death. Researchers are still trying to figure out why that happens to seemingly healthy patients and exactly how long the virus stays alive inside the body. This is known as viral persistence, and it affects how long someone is contagious and therefore how long they should stay in isolation.

To pick the right face mask, doctors often recommend a simple trick: Try blowing out a candle while wearing it. A good mask should prevent you from extinguishing the flame.
But it can be difficult to know whether a mask will pass the candle test just by looking at it.
