Immune-cell packages impair energy production in lab-grown cells
Experiments in lab-grown ovarian cells found that packages from dying immune cells disrupted energy production; inhibiting a small RNA molecule eased the effects.Experiments in lab-grown ovarian cells found that packages from dying immune cells disrupted energy production; inhibiting a small RNA molecule eased the effects.
Human cell studyBlood and immune system
Who was studiedKGN granulosa cells, against cells receiving nonpyroptotic macrophage vesicles
What changedEnergy stores (ATP) were lower in cells receiving pyroptotic macrophage vesicles than in cells receiving nonpyroptotic macrophage vesicles
The catchATP content is a stand-in for the rate of energy production
