Interferon Beta- A New Study
Excerpt from Wikipedia
Interferons (IFNs, /ˌɪntərˈfɪərɒn/[1]) are a group of signaling proteins[2] made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several viruses. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.
