No matter the pathogen—virus, bacterium or fungus—many "pick a specific type of lock" on the surface of cells, which allows the microbe to break and enter into the inner sanctum of the host's genome.
Researchers have shown for the first time that a crucial interface in a protein that drives cancer growth could act as a target for more effective treatments.
