A team has discovered a new communication pathway between the gut and lung. Their findings highlight how a little-known member of the gut microbiome reshapes the lung immune environment to have both ...
During parasitoid wasp infection, activated immune cells of Drosophila melanogaster larvae release adenosine to conserve nutrients for immune response. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a methyl group ...
For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural cell-cell communication using these protocells—based on the model of photoreceptors in the eye. This opens up new ...
