Environmental stress drives clearance of a persistent enteric virus in mice - Nature Microbiology Cage change of mice with persistent murine astrovirus infection triggers stress responses marked by corticosterone fluctuation, which is followed by CD8 T cell activation and induction of epithelial a...

#ToStressOrNotToStress! @christinviral.bsky.social @cadwelllab.bsky.social show @naturemicrobiol.nature.com that stress drives #interferon stimulated genes to protect against an enteric virus! After immune suppression by stress-induced glucorticoids, CD8 T cells get activated protecting the host!
