Teeth could preserve antibodies hundreds of years old, study finds
Teeth could be capable of preserving antibodies for hundreds of years, allowing scientists to investigate the history of infectious human diseases, a new study has found.Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system as a natural response to infectious organisms like viruses and bacteria. Their job is to recognise those microbes so that the immune system can attack them and clear them from the body.In the new paper, published by iScience, antibodies extracted from 800 year-old medieval human teeth were found to be stable and still able to recognise viral proteins.The study, led by Professor Robert Layfield and ...

It Isn ’ t Just Long COVID. Post-Viral Illnesses Are More Common Than You Think
In the 1980s, many people in the medical community treated chronic fatigue syndrome as a punchline.
