We must not lose the interest in immune health that covid-19 spurred

After several months of the covid-19 pandemic, interest in immunity was at an all-time high. Keeping that interest alive is in all our best interests

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - AUGUST 19: Commuters are seen wearing face masks and face shields inside a bus on August 19, 2020 in Quezon city, Metro Manila, Philippines. President Rodrigo Duterte relaxed quarantine measures in the Philippine capital in a bid to boost the country's tanking economy despite having the most coronavirus cases in Southeast Asia. The Philippines' health ministry has so far confirmed 173,774 cases of the coronavirus, a third of which were recorded in the last two weeks. (Photo by Ezra Acayan/Getty Images)

This image may not be used in educational posters ^BCell-mediated immune response,^b computer artwork. This type of immune response is most often used against intracellular pathogens, such as viruses. The viruses (gold) are phagocytosed (engulfed) by macrophage cells (green), a type of white blood cell. Fragments of viral protein (antigen) are displayed on the macrophage's surface. The antigen is recognised by a helper T lymphocyte (purple, centre and right), which secretes chemicals to activate other immune cells, including cytotoxic T lymphocytes (purple, left and bottom). The cytotoxic cells release chemicals that cause the macrophages to disintegrate and die, killing the viruses inside as well.

How to tell if your immune system is weak or strong

T-cells and brain cancer cell. Composite coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of T-cells and an apoptotic brain cancer cell. T-cells are a component of the body's immune system. CAR T-cell therapy takes T-cells from a cancer patient's blood and modifies them to recognize a specific protein found on patient's tumor cells. When reintroduced to the patient the T-cells find and destroy the tumour cells. The newest form of CAR T-cell therapy, now in clinical trials, uses 'memory' T-cells which remain in the body after attacking the cancer. The hope is that memory T-cells may provide an active reservoir of cancer-killing cells capable of stopping further tumours. Magnification: x6000 at 10cm wide.
