Scientists discover new part of the immune system
- Scientists have discovered a new part of the immune system related to bacteria-killing chemicals, according to a study published in Nature.
- The research identified the proteasome as capable of producing bacteria-killing chemicals when detecting bacterial infections.
- Professor Yifat Merbl stated this discovery reveals a novel mechanism of immunity against bacterial infection.
- Dr. Lindsey Edwards noted the discovery as a potential goldmine for new antibiotics.

Mathematical and computational models of immune-receptor signalling
The process of signalling through receptors of the immune system involves highly connected networks of interacting components. Understanding the often counter-intuitive behaviour of these networks requires the development of mathematical and computational models. Here, we focus on the application of these models to understand signalling through immune receptors that are involved in antigen recognition. Simple models, which ignore the details of …
