pathogen called Mycoplasma mycoides from smaller stretches of DNA synthesised in the lab, and inserting the genome into the empty cytoplasm of a related bacterium.
By following the DNA - transfer, scientists for the very first time showed an unknown mechanism
called carry back in which
pathogens were able to snatch genes from far - related bacteria via the carry back mechanism.
Further experiments suggested that the production of high levels of cell wall - associated GAG makes A. fumigatus more resistant than A. nidulans to neutrophil killing
by neutrophil extracellular traps, or NETs (NETs are are networks of extracellular fibers, composed of DNA and proteins secreted
by immune cells
called neutrophils, that bind and trap various
pathogens).

They identified signals that white blood cells use to control their behaviour, then one
by one disabled those signals — discovering that one particular molecule
called ERK5 could be manipulated to encourage white blood cells either to throw out
pathogens better or to keep them inside and try to kill them for longer.
In a typical immune response, for instance, inflammatory proteins
called cytokines will be released
by immune cells at a site of inflammation and then other immune cells will use these cytokines like a trail of breadcrumbs to home in on the site of infection and destroy the
pathogens that are causing it.
«Here we found for the first time that a protein
called CYLD plays a critical role in controlling the
