Genome-wide study reveals how key immune sensors arrive at the front lines of infection
In a healthy immune system, invading pathogens trigger a cascade of alerts and responses to fight off the infection. Sensors called toll-like receptors, or TLRs, act as one of the first lines of defense. Two of these sensors, ...

Team perfects non-lethal way of switching off essential genes in mice
One way of discovering a gene's function is to switch it off and observe how the loss of its activity affects an organism. If a gene is essential for survival, however, then switching it off permanently will ...
