The Eavesdropping Potential of Viruses: How Infections Could Transmit Sensitive Information
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have found that viruses can eavesdrop on our cells to help them infect us. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have suggested that certain viruses, such as the flu virus, can use the chemical signals produced by our cells to find and infect them. This is an exciting development, as it could provide new insights into how viruses are able to spread and how we might be able to stop them.
