Is the government hiding alien bodies in a vault under the Pentagon? Have Americans been killed to protect our weirdest extraterrestrial secrets? Nothing was off the table at Congress’s much anticipated hearing on UFOs Wednesday, making for quite the show.

Researchers have discovered new information about how the body’s immune system works, simultaneously calling into question decades of understanding about the process of antibody-mediated immunity and opening the door for advancements in immunological treatment.B cells, a type of white blood cell, drive the body’s antibody-mediated immunity, creating antibodies that bind to pathogens or foreign substances and neutralizing them.
