In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the roles of the interferon (IFN) regulatory factors (IRFs): IRF1, IRF3, and IRF7 in infections by human coronaviruses ...

Interferons are proteins that are part of your natural defenses. They tell your immune system that germs or cancer cells are in your body. And they trigger killer immune cells to fight those invaders.

Interferons are a basic way that our bodies fight everything from the sniffles to certain cancers. Released by cells when threatened, these proteins tell nearby cells to, in a sense, “interfere” with ...
