Previously unknown interactions between critical proteins in the human immune response system, have been discovered by scientists, uncovering two independent regulatory mechanisms that keep the body's immune response in check. The authors suggest that while they do not yet fully understand this regulatory mechanism, and continue to study it in hopes of harnessing its power to cure disease, it is an important step forward in understanding both what stops the body's immune response, and what activates it.
