Researchers from The University of Tokyo unravel the connection between high body temperature and increased viral resistance. Clinical evidence suggests that elderly individuals are at a higher risk of contracting viral infections. Quite notably, the older people also have lower mean body temperatures. However, the effects of increased body temperature on fighting viral infections remain […]
