Scientist discover protein required for an effective immune response to invading bacteria

SCIENMAG: Medicine & Health

Key Takeaways Researchers have discovered that the NLRP11 protein plays critical roles in alerting the body to a bacterial infection and initiating an immune response against it NLRP11 is present in humans and other primates but absent in mice The discovery could enable the development of mouse models that are more similar to humans for […]

New study uses genetics to identify best sepsis treatment

Drug Discovery World

The new study, published in Cell Genomics , details the genetic basis of variability in sepsis response, and the different regulators and cell types involved in the different immune responses in each subgroup of patients. Sepsis causes an estimated 11 million deaths worldwide per year, with one death every three seconds.

Discovery of protein’s role could improve cancer immunotherapies

Drug Discovery World

TIMP-1 is produced by dendritic cells, which are responsible for initiating immune responses and boosting the immune system’s ability to recognise and destroy cancer cells. The protein enhances antitumour immunity through self-stimulation and by activating surrounding immune cells.
