AI Summary
Researchers have identified how the immune system neutralizes the herpesvirus, which could aid in the development of new treatments for herpes and other similar viruses.
In a study of lab-engineered cells, researchers identify how the immune system neutralizes the herpesvirus. The research maps, for the first time, the maneuvers used by virus and host in the cell nucleus, a poorly understood terrain of host-pathogen interaction. The findings could inform the design of new treatments for herpes and other viruses that replicate in the same way.
