One thing these other scientists brought up that was extremely surprising to her was that “mirror cells would likely be completely invisible to the human immune system,” Adamala added. “I used to think the immune system will find a way to detect any invading biomolecules. I didn’t know how chiral the immune system was.”
Saving grace and we need more scientists like her;
Adamala, along with her colleagues, chose not to renew her research grant, ending her lab’s work on mirror cells. She is focusing instead on discussions around how to regulate mirror life research.
