Our bodies are incomprehensibly complex systems made up of tens of trillions of cells. But what happens when those cells become combatants on microscopic battle fields? 

This week, we’re taking both micro and macro perspectives on human health with three stories about medical issues and the advocates trying to cure them. From what happens when cells swarm to whether medical collectives can improve your health. 

Reporting by Jenny Cai, Pema Monaghan, Mustafa Nuristani.

These stories were produced for the Science Gallery and were developed with mentors from All The Best.

The Yarn is produced at the Centre for Advancing Journalism at the University of Melbourne.
