A study led by researchers at the University of Illinois reveals how a cellular protein recognizes an invading virus and alerts the body to the infection. The research, described this week in the ...
Scientists reveal how a cellular protein recognizes an invading virus and alerts the body to the infection.
... that they're beneficial to the virus," he says. "[UL97] shares the same activities as the cellular protein, but it lacks all of the control mechanisms."
In essence, UL97 disables the brakes and hits ...
