Special proteins are important for the function of cells and play an important role in processes and effectiveness of the immune system. Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have observed how concentrations that vary over time can affect cells and they have demonstrated the existence of a mechanism, which is a new way of controlling the production of proteins that are related to processes which are important in order to avoid serious diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer’s. The results have been published in the scientific journal, Cell Systems.
