New insights into influenza A’s infiltration of host cells
US researchers have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the influenza A virus takes over host cells while minimising damage to itself. By studying the protein PA-X, they found that the virus uses a surgical strike approach, selectively degrading host cell RNA while preserving its own replication, shedding light…
