Study in mice identifies molecular target for treatment of West Nile encephalitis

In animal studies, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre and Yale University have identified molecular interactions that govern the immune system's ability to defend the brain against West Nile virus, offering the possibility that drug therapies could be developed to improve success in treating West Nile and other viral forms of encephalitis, a brain inflammation illness that strikes healthy adults and the elderly and immunocompromised...
