What the research found
ScienceDaily reported on 27 October 2026 a Nature Immunology paper from McGill University (DOI 10.1038/s41590-026-02581-9). T cells from people and from mice, placed in collagen gels, were more likely to take on a tissue-resident memory pattern as the gel got stiffer. The work is a dish experiment about mechanical cues. It is not a booster and not a cancer treatment. The report does not give a human age band or a sex split. Not medical advice.
Evidence level: Animal study. Results in animals or cells often don't carry over to people.
