💨 Abstract

Researchers at IIT Bombay discovered a host protein that utilizes tiny tweezers to eliminate germs before they harm the human body. This protein, working like an elite special ops unit, identifies threats, tags them with a 'Red Flag' protein called Ubiquitin, and then targets and dismantles them, preventing germs from spreading or causing illness. This could lead to new approaches for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
