Nature Milestones in T Cells:

Although T cells found fame during the COVID-19 pandemic when the whole world was thinking about fighting infection, they were not always so well understood.

In fact, T cells only came into focus in the 1950s and 1960s, when two researchers working on opposite sides of the world started to piece together the mystery of a previously ignored organ called the thymus.

The winning video, “The mystery of the disappearing lymphocytes”, shows how the two researchers’ work laid the foundation for everything we know about T cells today.

The Nature Milestones also features an interactive timeline celebrating important moments since the discovery of T cells and a fascinating video showing how what we eat affects our immune cells.

About Nature Milestones:

Nature Milestones are published in the Nature journal, in print and online, to highlight key discoveries that have shaped different scientific fields. They enable the wider recognition of classic findings, that are often recognized only by those in the field.

Content includes a timeline of key events, historical commentaries that have been commissioned and/or written by the editors, key papers, short research highlights on recently published papers, videos, and animations.

Nature Milestones offer supporting organizations a unique opportunity to cement their legacy of being an active participant in the development of a field.
