Identification of protein domain contributes to safer food

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the Wageningen University and Research Centre (UR) have identified the protein component responsible for regulating innate immunity in humans and animals. They furthermore discovered that comparable changes in this regulating mechanism lead to comparable disruptions in human and plant immune systems. Their findings, published in Science, will contribute to the development of foods less vulnerable to disease and, moreover, to a better understanding of human autoimmune disorders...
