Secretory IgA promotes gut fitness
Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) is the antibody produced within mucosal membranes and is the most abundant antibody type synthesized in our body. In the intestine, SIgA possesses two antithetic functions acting either in preventing or promoting bacterial colonization. When the intestine is attacked by an invasive bacterium, a strongly polarized SIgA response ensures clustering of […]

Imaging DNA repair complexes in action
The Mre11-Rad50 nuclease complex has important functions to initiate the repair of broken DNA. A collaborative study of the Cejka (IRB Bellinzona) and Peter laboratories (ETH Zurich) took a new approach to image the DNA repair proteins in action. The researchers used a technique termed transmission electron microscopy, which allowed to visualize broken DNA, and […]
