Scientists Discover How the Body Fights Viruses That Try to Evade the Immune System Response

Scientists have discovered a molecular pathway that counteracts the ability of some viruses to evade the immune response – raising hope of improving the body’s ability to fight off viral infections, such as COVID-19, and cancers, which also develop strategies to evade immune recognition. The study, published in Nature Immunology by researchers at Rutgers Robert...
