Crucial discovery
While a lot is known about the immune systems in the human body, there are still some important gaps in our knowledge of how they work. If we knew exactly how they worked, we would then know why they sometimes get out of control and start attacking the tissue they are meant to be defending, resulting in such distressing
conditions as rheumatoid arthritis and certain kidney and thyroid diseases. Tonight’s B.BC. science programme (Concert programme, 7.30 p.m.) will look at a crucial discovery in immunology. The programme will also look at how ants can quickly distinguish relatives from aliens, and also at the detection of gravity waves.
