Cytotoxic t cells Memes

Soccer meets neuroscience in this brilliant crossover! The meme shows the immune system's elite defense squad in action. When a neuron gets infected with rabies (the player in red), cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs, the referee) immediately flash the yellow card of death—an apoptotic signal. It's basically the immune system saying "That's it, you're out of the game!" Programmed cell death is the ultimate red card for infected cells. The body sacrifices the infected neuron rather than letting rabies spread through the nervous system like a viral championship tour. Natural selection at its finest—brutal but effective!
