  hidden component of the human immune system that

  could be a goldmine for new antibiotics. Researchers
• 6:46
  from the Wiseman Institute of Science in Israel
• 6:49
  discovered that proteasomes, which recycle old
• 6:52
  proteins, also produce peptides that combat bacterial
• 6:56
  infections. When these peptide -producing abilities
• 7:00
  were suppressed, bacterial infections thrived,
• 7:03
  highlighting their critical role. The team identified
• 7:06
  a control unit called PSME3 that enhances the

  production of these bacteria -fighting peptides,

• 8:04
  opposition to cryptocurrencies, he has recently
• 8:07
  embraced the industry, issuing pardons related
• 8:10
