Mammal cells could struggle to fight space germs
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200723092638.htm
The immune systems of mammals -- including humans -- might struggle to detect and respond to germs from other planets, new research suggests.
Microorganisms (such as bacteria and viruses) could exist beyond Earth, and there are plans to search for signs of them on Mars and some of Saturn and Jupiter's moons.
Such organisms might be based on different amino acids (key building blocks of all life) than lifeforms on Earth.
Scientists from the universities of Aberdeen and Exeter tested how mammal immune cells responded to peptides (combinations of amino acids) containing two amino acids that are rare on Earth but are commonly found on meteorites.
