AI Summary
This article discusses a new discovery in the field of immunology regarding the protein cGAS and how cells mark it for degradation. This process is crucial in preventing the immune system from attacking the body's own tissues. The research sheds light on the mechanism that acts as a "switch" to keep the immune system in check and avoid autoimmune reactions.
Scientists uncover the mechanism by which cells mark the protein cGAS for degradation, which is critical in preventing the immune system from mistakenly attacking the body’s own tissues.
