Spotting The Invisible Enemy: Scientists Discover Immune “Trip Wire” That Detects COVID-19

Scientists from the University of California San Diego discovered a new way the immune system detects certain viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, through an immune protein known as CARD8. However, CARD8’s function varies between species and individuals, influencing its ability to sense different viruses, which may potentially contribute to the variation in COVID-19 disease outcomes. Certain individuals […]
