In an early clinical trial, an experimental norovirus vaccine given as a pill produced defensive responses exactly where it counts—in the saliva of older people most vulnerable to the explosive ...

Human milk not only supplies the nutritional needs of the newborn and protects the baby against infection by confering trophic protection to the intestinal mucosa, but additionally shapes the ...

The oral mucosa represents a fascinating scenario in the setting of medical research for its peculiar immune mileu. Not only the oral cavity hosts specific immune cells interacting with the local ...
