cBAF Protein Complex Controls the Fate of T Cells

The immune system protects the body from intruders, like bacteria, viruses, or tumors, with its intricate network of proteins, cells, and organs. Cytotoxic T cells are specialized immune cells that can grow into short-lived effector cells that destroy infected or malignant cells in human bodies.

Cross-Resistant Bacteria from Agricultural Animal as First Line of Defense in Human

New research headed by the University of Oxford has revealed that overuse of antimicrobials in livestock production can lead to the evolution of bacteria more resistant to the first line of the human immune response. The findings were published today in eLife. They show that farmed chickens and pigs could possess huge reservoirs of cross-resistant bacteria, which are capable of powering future epidemics.
