New Study Sheds Light On How Intracellular Pathogens Trigger The Immune System

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - 19:21 in Biology & Nature

Biologists have identified a molecular alarm system in which intracellular pathogens send out signals that kick the immune response into gear. The findings shed light on how host cells recognize and destroy the pathogenic bugs living within their walls, and may even provide new targets for the research and development of new vaccines and drugs.
