Leprosy turns the immune system against itself

An international team of scientists, including Lalita Ramakrishnan’s group in the University of Cambridge Molecular Immunity Unit, based at the LMB, have discovered that Leprosy hijacks our immune system, turning an important repair mechanism into one that causes potentially irreparable damage to our nerve cells.

Tau filaments isolated from an Alzheimer’s brain are the latest, high-profile exploit of cryo-electron microscopy. Crafting a technique that has become his claim to fame, Sjors Scheres of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, teamed up with Michel Goedert, also at MRC, to solve 3.4-Angstrom resolution structures of both straight and paired helical filaments of tau. The structures, first unveiled at the AD/PD meeting in Vienna last March, were formally published in Nature on July 5. More…
