For the first time, Tel aviv University scientists have discovered the exact mechanism this killer virus uses to efficiently enter the central nervous system,
This has been shown in two new studies carried out by Lund University in Sweden. Both research studies are about the same discovery made for two different viruses namely that viruses can convert their DNA to liquid form at the moment of infection.
Our results explain the mechanism behind herpes infection by showing how the DNA of the virus enters the cell said Alex Evilevitch a researcher in biochemistry and biophysics at Lund University and Carnegie mellon University.
