Mutation Drives Viral Sensors To Initiate Autoimmune Disease

January 28, 2012
A new study uses a mouse model of a human autoimmune disease to reveal how abnormal regulation of the intracellular sensors that detect invading viruses can lead to autoimmune pathology. The research, published online in the journal Immunity by Cell Press, provides key insight into mechanisms that underlie the development ...
