Immune sensor detects viral infection by monitoring cell's own RNA
Original: Immune sensor can detect viral infection by monitoring cell’s own RNA
Researchers at the University of Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine report that an immune sensor can identify viral infection by monitoring a cell's own RNA rather than the virus itself. The finding offers a new understanding of how the innate immune system spots infection and could inform future antiviral approaches.
Why now: A newly published immunology discovery from Oxford sheds light on how cells detect viruses.
