They also consist of a DNA-cleaving subunit of a restriction enzyme and a sequence recognition component known as the TAL effector. TAL effector proteins are usually used by bacteria to activate genes ...

T cells play a pivotal role in the immune system by transforming into powerful effector cells that combat pathogens. This transformation requires rapid proliferation, during which DNA replication ...

This is a useful study that adds new data to how different DAG pools influence cellular signaling, and dissects how the enzyme Dip2 modulates the minor lipid signaling DAG pool, which is distinct from ...

Tse-Kang et al, Intestinal immunity in C. elegans is activated by pathogen effector-triggered aggregation of the guard ...

Researchers identify a pathogenic subset of CD8+ memory T-cells that promote airway tissue inflammation and recurrent ...
