Deciphering Stem Cell Immunity
Guarding Stem Cells Against Virusesstem Cells Comprise A Small Population Of Cells That Maintain Tissue Integrity By Replenishing Differentiated Cells. Stem Cells Resist Viral Infection Through Unique Mechanisms Including A Newly Discovered Pathway Governed By Protein Avid Which Deploys Antiviral Rna Interference Against Rna Viruses. Funded By The European Research Council, The Stemguard Project Aims To Further Investigate The Role Of The Avid Protein And Provide Insight Into This Poorly Understood Antiviral Defence Method. Project Findings Extend Beyond Stem Cell Immunity And Are Expected To Find Applications In Tumour Biology By Disclosing The Role Of Avid In Guarding Against Transposable Elements.
