Research Uncovers Novel Insight into Immune Cell Recognition of Pathogens
Recent research has uncovered novel insight into how immune cells recognize and respond to pathogens. This new knowledge could help scientists develop better treatments for infectious diseases and other immune-related conditions.The immune system is responsible for recognizing and responding to foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses. Immune cells are able to recognize these pathogens by recognizing specific molecules on their surface. This recognition process is known as antigen recognition.In a recent study, researchers used a combination of genetic engineering and single-cell sequencing to identify the molecules that immune cells
