This looks to be a major step forward in T cell understanding, which should ultimately help PWME.

Summary:
Medical researchers have developed an algorithm that predicts T cell recognition of antigens and sets the stage to more effectively harness the immune system.

Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have developed an algorithm that functions like a Rosetta Stone to help decipher how the immune system recognizes and binds antigens. The research, which appears today as an advance online publication in the journal Nature, should aid development of more personalized cancer immunotherapy and advance diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.
