Abstract excerpt
Reovirus is a benign virus with innate oncolytic activity and is a potential novel therapeutic for a number of cancers.

Ras activation leads to the inactivation of cellular antiviral mechanisms, specifically removing the translation block on reovirus transcripts. This review outlines recent progress towards elucidating...
