Epstein-Barr virus together with a gene variant contributes to onset of multiple sclerosis
One of the leading triggers for multiple sclerosis (MS) is an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. However, certain gene variants also play an important role. Researchers at the University of Zurich ...
A UCLA-led international research team showed that fragments of digested proteins from the virus behind COVID-19 can attack certain immune cells that have spiky shapes, such as the T cell above.
