Research reveals a novel viral strategy in modulating stress granule formation to promote virus infection

In a recent study published in PLOS pathogensresearchers illustrated a novel strategy likely employed by viruses to promote infection. Study: Targeting Nup358/RanBP2 by a viral protein disrupting stress granule formation. Image credit: Rost9/Shutterstock Background Viruses likely inhibit a host cell stress response by blocking the accumulation of stress granules (SGs). SGs are ‘sinks’ or ribonucleic … Read more
