Researchers at Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering in Boston, Massachusetts, have developed a device that acts like the spleen to rid the body of infection and toxins. The artificial ‘biospleen’ uses a modified version of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a protein found in humans that... 자세히보기

Two research teams based in Germany and Spain have discovered that ASC specks—protein aggregations that drive inflammation—are released from dying immune cells. The protein aggregations are a component of inflammasomes, which sense pathogens and cell damage and set off innate immune inflammation.... 자세히보기
