QUOTE: A bacteria cell's 'crisis command centre' has been observed for the first time swinging into action to protect the cell from external stress and danger, according to new research published in Science...
The crisis command centre in certain bacteria cells is a large molecule, dubbed a 'stressosome' by the scientists behind today's research...
"The cascade of events inside bacteria cells that occurs as a result of stressosomes receiving warning signals leads to particular genes inside the cell being transcribed more. This means that some genes already active inside the cell are 'turned up' so that levels of particular proteins in the cell increase. These changes to the protein make-up of the cell enable it to survive in a hostile or challenging environment..." UNQUOTE.
This is an important point, because when cells are stressed, different kinds of molecules might be present in that ill person's blood. Unfortunately, because of various and inaccurate "germ theory" notions that dominate the minds of most of today's biological researchers, these molecules are sometimes mistaken as "foreign," and attributed to a "germ."
