Turning Pathogens into Transmissible Vaccines via Loss-of-Function Research and Interferon Gene Insertion: Trampling Death by Death?

2026-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Throughout several centuries, infectious pathogenic agents have been used as models for the ongoing efforts of vaccine development, which saved hundreds of millions of lives from life-threatening infectious diseases worldwide. Nonetheless, there has been a missing gap that various polymorphic microbes have been taking advantage of in their evolutionary pathway: the interferon system, which often prevented the time...
