Study shows main cell type in the liver has key role in defending against some viruses

by  The Scripps Research Institute Through experiments involving modified versions of liver cells known as “hepatocytes” (pictured), scientists showed that these cells likely absorb viruses in the body to slow their spread. Scientists at Scripps Research have uncovered an important disease-fighting role for cells called hepatocytes, which constitute most of the liver. The discovery could potentially be harnessed to develop...
