Using super microscope scientists find body’s immunity “switch”

Thanks to a super advanced microscope, medical scientists can finally see what goes on inside of T-cells. What they've seen so far could lead to a new era of medical treatments.

The researchers at the University of New South Wales have identified an exact molecular “switch” that sends T-Cells into action, a breakthrough that might lead to treatments for a list of conditions such as auto-immune diseases and cancer. The findings will be published today in the journal Nature Immunology.
