A team of scientists recently discovered a protein with
disease fighting properties that could potentially help fight HIV and other
deadly diseases. This virus, called cholesterol-25-hydroxylase
(CH25H), can block viruses from getting into cell walls. The CH25H enzyme is
activated by interferon, an essential antiviral protein in the body. While this
new breakthrough is amazing, it still may be in early stages, as it has yet to
be tested compared to other HIV treatments.
NOS:
1. Science
is collaborative
2. Science
is tentative
3. Importance
of repeatability
4. Role
of motivation and curiosity
