Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, October 20 (intern reporter Zhang Jiaxin) By deciphering the cell migration mechanism behind the immune response, scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the University of Munich (LMU) have proven that the activation of the immune system depends on time and Affected by the biological clock
The immune system has two branches, the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system
The lymphatic system is one of the pillars of the adaptive immune response
The scientists first observed the migration of dendritic cells in wild mice 4 times a day, and then observed mice without a normal biological clock
Subsequently, the researchers repeated experiments on human skin cells at different times of the day
Data shows that the peak of the immune system's activity in the day is in the morning
