Just in time for the weekend, here are two reading suggestions on cell death and a double celebration for SFB 1530 | CRC 1530!
Both papers, just published, explore how the immune system delicately balances life and death. Achieving this balance can be crucial in fighting cancer or triggering autoimmunity.
One paper demonstrates how cFLIP influences whether TNF kills melanoma cells, opening up new therapeutic avenues.
The other uncovers how distributed clonal deletion maintains autoimmunity by eliminating harmful T-cell clones.
This is great science; enjoy the read and your weekend!
