Large-scale study probes how cells fight pathogens
Date: 6.9.2009
Scientists have deciphered a key molecular circuit that enables the body to distinguish **viruses** from **bacteria** and other **microbes**, providing a deep view of how **immune cells** in mammals fend off different pathogens. The new research, which appears in the September 3 advance online edition of the journal Science, signifies one of the first large-scale reconstructions of a mammalian circuit and offers a practical approach for unraveling the circuits that underpin other important biological systems.
