  • Palatine tonsils act as primary defenders in our immune system against diseases we inhale or ingest, and researchers created a detailed map of the human tonsil, analyzing over 556,000 cells using various techniques.
  • They discovered 121 distinct cell types, traced their development, and outlined how different immune functions are organized within the tonsils.
  • The study's findings included identifying specific cell subtypes and regulatory factors, validating their results with age-related changes, and connecting the findings to understanding certain lymphomas, enhancing our knowledge of immune responses.

This study was carried at at the Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, from September 1996 to July 1998. 61 surgical procedures were performed in experimental animals, 39 in dogs and 22 in pigs. During the anhepatic phase, we used veno-venous bypass with centrifugal pumps and without systemic anticoagulation drugs in 6 animals, and passive venovenous bypass with systemic anticoagulation drugs in 8 animals.
