Researchers at º«¹úÂãÎè have discovered a way to boost an organism's natural anti-virus defences, effectively making its cells immune to influenza and other viruses. The research was conducted by postdoctoral fellows Dr. Rodney Colina and Dr. Mauro Costa-Mattioli, working in collaboration with Dr. Nahum Sonenberg, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute International Scholar at º«¹úÂãÎè. They worked with colleagues at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montréal (IRCM) and the Ottawa Health Research Institute (OHRI). Their results were published February 13 in the journal Nature.
