New research shows: #Ebola and #Lassa viruses trigger very different responses in human liver cells. While Ebola causes massive cell damage, triggering stress responses, the effect of Lassa remains surprisingly mild.

Bat genomes illuminate adaptations to viral tolerance and disease resistance - Nature
A systematic analysis of 115 mammalian genomes, including 10 new bat genomes, reveals prevalent positive selection in immune genes in bats and shows key adaptations in the antiviral gene ISG15 that ai...
