Cells act through molecular action. A new protein control over p53 in lymphocytes has been found. Antibodies are formed in lymphocytes to fight infections, but this process must have feed-back controls:-http://medicalxpress.com/news/2014-12-protein-guardian-genome.html-"'Our study therefore helps advance our understanding of how an efficient immune response is built in our body," adds Dr. Möröy, who is also the IRCM's President and Scientific Director. "Our results show that, by controlling the activity of p53 and preventing premature cell death, Miz-1 ensures the survival of lymphocytes during their critical phase of development and, thereby, the proper functioning of our immune system.'"
