The plant virus that trains your immune system to kill cancer
A virus from humble black-eyed peas is showing extraordinary promise in the fight against cancer. Unlike other plant viruses, the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can awaken the human immune system and tran...

🔬 Ever wonder how your immune system ages?
📊 We used single-cell multi-omics (RNA + ATAC) + bulk ATAC on PBMCs to build a cell-by-cell map of aging.
🧠 Find out which genes fade, which chromatin gates clos and why some immune systems age slower.

🔬 Your immune system doesn’t just weaken with age—it evolves. We mapped how.
