RT by @physorg_com: Researchers find an #immunesystem 'trip wire' that detects #COVID-19 @ucsandiego @PLOSBiology https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-06-immune-wire-covid-.html
@physorg_bot This trip-wire has been around for awhile already... @gpollara @cyrilpedia
@halama_immuno @physorg_bot @gpollara Absolutely - but there are some very interesting details here, like this one "For instance, we find that bats have either lost CARD8 or have a CARD8 protein that is antagonized, rather than activated, by coronavirus 3CLpro cleavage."

@cyrilpedia @physorg_bot @gpollara Which would be an interesting strategy to search for these inter-species differences in a systematic way...pinpointing "advantage points" for transmission and with it possible vulnerabilities...
