This seemingly contradictory trend involves more than just warming. Climate change and human land use are interacting.

The lung maintains its own community of immune cells capable of mounting a local defense on the spot. Researchers from the University of Basel now describe the role of a specialized group of cells that orchestrates this local response, directing neighboring immune cells to work together. Their findings could pave the way for new inhalable vaccines against respiratory viruses such as influenza.
