Ana Farias is the first author on this work.
Type I interferons induced upon respiratory viral infection impair lung metastatic initiation
Invasive breast cancer accounts for 7% of all cancer-related deaths, with the lungs being a common site of metastases. At the same time, lower respiratory tract infections are a common cause of morbid...

Well done to Amber Owen on getting the first paper from her PhD published.
Exposure to bacterial PAMPs before RSV infection exacerbates innate inflammation and disease via IL-1α and TNF-α
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections. Understanding why some individuals get more serious disease may…
