Hidden "immune organ" in the skull may help fight brain cancer
ScienceDailyHidden "immune organ" in the skull may help fight brain cancer Scientists discovered a hidden "immune organ" inside the skull that acts as a rapid first responder against brain cancer in mice. Strengthening this local immune defense improved tumor rejection and survival, raising the possibility of new treatments that target the skull directly. sciencedaily.com

Hope it doesn't take 50 years to use this to cure diseases, but pretty cool we're still learning this much

Article says it appears humans might have the same. I'd love to not get brain cancer someday. My aunt has it and it's been horrific.

I'm sorry about your aunt. The idea of targeting the immune response right next to the brain sounds genuinely promising. Really hope this research goes somewhere.
