"No wall can stand if you just keep going," says our lab leader Michela Di Virgilio (professor at @ChariteBerlin). In order for the #ImmuneSystem to effectively fight off pathogens, B cells need to smash up and reassemble their own #DNA. Di Virgilio and her team are searching for factors controlling this process, which also have crucial implications for our predisposition to #cancer.
