#Epithelialmechanics fans...interferons protect against viruses but also impair recovery post-infection. In new work @plosbiology.org we show that interferons block epithelial repair by co-opting the Hippo pathway #innateimmunity #lungs #respiratory journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Interferons (IFNs) initiate antiviral defence when infected cells sense a virus protecting against infection via JAK/STAT signaling, but can hinder recovery by impairing tissue repair by an unknown me...
