OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
When T cells get younger, the body remembers how to heal. At the onset of their lifespan, CD4⁺ T cells unleash a regenerative code: telomere “Rivers” transferred from antigen-presenting cells spread youth across aged tissues and organisms. This transfer biology also dismantles HIV latency — enabling the first functional cure. Medicating this process revives terminally differentiated T cells, restores telomeric length, and reprograms stem-like responses. Rather than terminal decline, the end of a T cell marks renewal and reveals properties not previously existent. Age, once a boundary, becomes reversible — through the flow of telomeres. Thus, the immune system possesses self-healing properties that can be transplanted.
