Double-stranded viral RNA induces rapid, nonspecific cell death in mammalian cells, which may have implications for understanding picornavirus cytopathic effects and cancer chemotherapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
dsRNA-induced cell death may explain viral cytopathy and guide chemotherapy; hypothesis-generating from animal data, needs human validation.
Cordell-Stewart et al. (1971) studied this question.
