NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Jan. 27 (TNSJou) -- Vanderbilt University issued the following news:
A chemical probe molecule--a "first gen" molecule that can be used for drug development--that targets a host cell's protein quality control pathways can dramatically reduce infection by Dengue and Zika viruses. The research led by Lars Plate, assistant professor of chemistry and biological sciences, is a significant step toward host-directed antiviral therapeutics that act on ho . . .
