Protein complex mediates protection against intestinal autoinflammation

[Joachim]

A new study by Prof. Eran Elinav's lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science got an unexpected boost from the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. In the wake of this accord, Elinav was invited to a scientific conference in Dubai. On his way to the sessions, he shared a taxi with a German immunologist, Prof. Eicke Latz, and learned that unbeknownst to one another, they had been working on the same topic. "Professor Latz told me about an amazing protein complex he was studying, and I told him that my lab was studying the exact same complex," Elinav recalls. "We began to exchange ideas in a way that helped both sides fill in the missing pieces."
