Novel Intracellular Pathway Identified That Protects Against Viral and Bacterial Infection

26 sec read3 views0 listens

Scientists have discovered a novel intracellular pathway called antibody-directed xenophagy (ADX) that allows cells to digest pathogens like bacteria and viruses once they enter. This mechanism, regulated by the protein TRIM21, offers a new understanding of the immune system's internal defense. Developers and researchers in biotechnology could explore therapeutic avenues using antibodies or small molecules to leverage ADX for treating infections.
