"textContent": "Scientists in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a new family of tools that, for the first time, illuminates the missing half of how the immune system uses molecules called cytokines to communicate with the rest of the body. The work, described in Cell, could provide a transformative view of immune response and disease, which in turn could lead to new drugs for infectious diseases, cancer, allergies, and autoimmune diseases.",
