Prof. Yehu Moran from the Hebrew University, one of the leaders of the research: "Sea anemones have lived and thrived for the last 600 million years despite the presence of many viruses, so their immune system is probably effective. A possible disadvantage that I can suggest is that complex systems have a significant metabolic (energetic) cost" . And also: what can be learned from this about the human immune system?
