Scientists discover a completely different way to fight viruses
Reported byScienceDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at Hebrew University identified a previously unknown antiviral defense protein in sea anemones (CARDIB) that works opposite to the human MAVS protein yet still protects against infection, revealing evolution developed multiple independent strategies for viral defense across the animal kingdom.
This is a foundational discovery in basic immunology; translating these insights into human treatments remains in early stages.
