How do molecules involved in activating our immune system discriminate between our own DNA and foreign pathogens? Researchers from the Thomä group, in collaboration with the EPFL, deciphered the structural and functional basis of a DNA-sensing molecule when it comes in contact with the cell’s own DNA, providing crucial insights into the recognition of self vs. non-self DNA.
DNA within our cells is compacted and stored in the nucleus in the form of chromatin (DNA wraped around histone proteins, forming…
