Antiviral defense regulates intestinal function
Besides the skin, the digestive tract is the tissue that is most exposed to environmental influences such as bacteria and viruses. Therefore, cells that form these barriers to the interior of the body also have special defence mechanisms.

The study 'ER-Associated RNA Silencing Promotes ER Quality Control' has been published in the journal Nature Cell Biology.
