- seclorum 15y agoI'm guessing they can target the virus RNA they're attempting to eradicate.
- sukuriant 15y agoWhat I gathered from the article, though, was that this shortens a cell's self-checks before the cell itself self-destructs. There is no virus RNA being evaluated, that's still done by the cell. If I misunderstood the article and people's commons in this thread, please help me understand properly.
- xanadohnt 15y agoNo, you are correct, sukuriant. The mechanism here is working on the host cell. Which is precisely the point of the article. Past attempts at working on the virus directly have all but failed. That's why this method is so effective and promising. However, its effectiveness is also what makes it so scary.
