mRNA-Based Broad Spectrum Antiviral Development Inspired by Rare Immune Disorder
Inspired by a rare immune disorder, researchers headed by a team at Columbia University have created an antiviral with an mRNA delivery system that displays broad activity against Zika virus, SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and other viral pathogens in vitro, and against SARS-CoV-2 in live rodents. While further work is necessary, the team, headed by Dusan Bogunovic, PhD, acknowledges that a new antiviral strategy, which harnesses a suite of type I inter…
