The study, lead by Dr. Judith Mandl, sheds light on cellular processes that may lead to allergic immune responses and identifies a possible link between cell death and allergic disease. Great work!</p> <p><em>Image (left): Shattering mononuclear phagocyte lacking Dock8 expression (made by PhD student Connie Shen using confocal microscopy)</em></p> Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:18:18 +0000 webfull 164199 at /channels /channels/channels/news/studying-immune-response-bats-better-understand-covid-19-323160 <p>Understanding how bats cope with viruses could help us develop COVID-19 therapies, according to <a href="https://www.knowablemagazine.org/article/health-disease/2020/why-do-bats-have-so-many-viruses">this article</a> in <em>Knowable Magazine</em>.
