Immune cells rely on a cholesterol sensor to maintain balance, researchers discover

Immune cells rely on a cholesterol sensor to maintain balance, researchers discover. Every day, billions of cells in our body die and are removed as part of normal tissue maintenance.

O que aconteceu

Every day, billions of cells in our body die and are removed as part of normal tissue maintenance.

This continuous cleanup process is essential for keeping the immune system in balance and preventing harmful immune reactions against healthy tissues.

Researchers at VIB and Ghent University have now discovered that a protein best known for sensing cellular stress also acts as a cholesterol sensor in specialized immune cells.

Por que importa

A pauta interessa a quem acompanha Fitness porque altera expectativas e decisões práticas.

Consequência prática

Their findings reveal how these cells safely process dying cells and maintain immune homeostasis.

The work appears in Nature Communications.
