Human immune cells use copper to fight invading pathogens. Some microorganisms, in turn, have evolved ways to take up copper and incorporate it into biological molecules, either as a way to absorb copper for nutrition or to neutralize its toxic effects.</p> November 17, 2021 - 11:26am Andy Fell /blog/how-bacteria-makes-copper-antibiotic Microbiologist Andreas B盲umler Awarded Robert Koch Prize 2021 /health/news/microbiologist-andreas-baumler-awarded-robert-koch-prize-2021 <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Professor Andreas B盲umler will be awarded the Robert Koch Prize on Nov. 19, 2021, in Berlin.
