UCC research on cover of EMBO journal
A group in the School of Biochemistry and Cell Biology in UCC have just contributed to a key finding of the molecular and cellular events which occur during T-cell activation.
The work features as the cover image of the Journal’s recently published printed edition.
Some years ago, Professor Mary McCaffrey’s group were involved in the discovery and functional characterisation of a cellular protein called Rab11-FIP3. Now, through a collaboration with researchers in the Pasteur Institute, Paris, led by Professor Andres Alcover and Dr Jerome Bouchet, Rab11-FIP3 has been shown to be key to the process of T-cell activation when the cell encounters a pathogen.
