The total mass, number, and distribution of immune cells in the human body
We characterized the human body’s immune cells distribution and provided its total weight. Our findings show that an average individual’s immune system consists of approximately 1.8 trillion cells, weighing around 1.2 kg. Lymphocytes make up 40% of ...

Another new policy from the geniuses in NIH leadership.
Apparently, ~70% of grant applications for most mechanisms will not be "triaged", i.e. not discussed at study section.
This is an increase from the ~50% level that has been in place for many years.
I don't know the rationale for this
