Researchers at IIT Bombay have identified a unique host protein that plays a critical role in the human immune system by eliminating germs before they can cause harm. This protein operates using a tweezer-like mechanism, acting almost like a special operations unit within the body’s defence system. The discovery, led by Prof. Anirban Banerjee, offers new insights into how our immune system neutralizes threats at an early stage. By understanding this mechanism, scientists may be able to develop more targeted therapies or strengthen immune responses, marking a significant advancement in the field of biomedical science and pathogen resistance.
