Science Spotlight: Stopping herpes from entering neurons, tissue-specific nanoparticles, and more

A pair of Nature papers revealed TMEFF1 as an inhibitor of herpes simplex virus 1 replication in the brain, which could have implications for treating HSV-1 encephalitis.

A group from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and  Aarhus University used genome-wide CRISPR screening to identify neuron-specific factors that control herpes simplex virus replication...
