This can be demonstrated in NOD mice in which a point mutation in the autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene results in the reduced expression of P0 in the thymus and a concomitant increase of P0 specific T cells in the periphery. 107 Similarly, autoimmunity is shifted towards the peripheral nerve in another NOD model deficient for isoforms of ICAM-1. 108 Altered expression of ICAM-1 on thymic epithelial cells transforms selection of T cells from a diabetogenic into a neuritogenic repertoire. 108 Studies such as these highlight the critical role of regulatory mechanisms in maintaining immune homeostasis and the impact that changes to regulation can have on the development of disease.

examples: In 2012 biophysicist Michael Rosen of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and his coworkers showed that various proteins and RNA molecules could phase-separate from a solution into dense liquid droplets, which then congealed into viscoelastic substances. They seem to span the range from gloppy liquids such as mucus to almost solidlike gels such as Jell-O. […] One common stressor is heat, which can cause folded proteins to “denature,” or unravel. Many cells make heat-shock proteins when they get uncomfortably warm, which can act as molecular chaperones that guide denatured proteins back to their folded state. That’s important not just so the proteins work properly but so unfolded proteins do not stick together in a gloppy mess.
