They\u2019re also the world\u2019s most common infectious illness, costing the United States economy an estimated $40 billion a year. At least half of all colds are the result of rhinovirus infections.<\/p>\n<p>There are roughly 160 known types of rhinovirus, which helps to explain why getting a cold doesn\u2019t stop you from getting another one a month later.<\/p>\n<p>Making matters worse, rhinoviruses are highly mutation-prone and, as a result, quick to develop drug resistance, as well as to evade the immune surveillance brought about by previous exposure or a vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>In a study published online Sept. 16 in\u00a0<i>Nature Microbiology<\/i>, Carette and his associates found a way to stop a broad range of enteroviruses, including rhinoviruses, from replicating inside human cells in culture, as well as in mice. They accomplished this feat by disabling a\u00a0protein in mammalian cells thatall enteroviruses appear to need in order to replicate.<\/p>\n<p>Carette shares senior authorship with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/med.stanford.edu\/profiles\/or-gozani\">Or Gozani<\/a>, MD, PhD, professor of biology at Stanford and the Dr. Morris Herzstein Professor of Biology; Raul Andino, PhD, professor of microbiology and immunology at UCSF; and Nevan Krogan, PhD, professor of cellular and molecular pharmacology at UCSF.<\/p>\n<p>The lead authors are former Stanford graduate student Jonathan Diep, PhD, and Stanford postdoctoral scholars Yaw Shin Ooi, PhD, and Alex Wilkinson, PhD.<\/p>\n<h3>Well-known and feared<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most well-known and feared enteroviruses is poliovirus. Until the advent of an effective vaccine in the 1950s, the virus spelled paralysis and death for many thousands of children each year in the United States alone.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2014, another type of enterovirus, EV-D68, has been implicated in\u00a0puzzling biennialbursts of a poliolike disease, acute flaccid myelitis, in the United States and Europe. Other enteroviruses can cause encephalitis and myocarditis \u2014 inflammation of the brain and the heart, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Like all viruses, enteroviruses travel lightly. To replicate, they take advantage of proteins in the cells they infect.<\/p>\n<p>To see what proteins in human cells are crucial to enteroviral fecundity, the investigators used a genomewide screen developed in Carette\u2019s lab. They generated a cultured line of human cells that enteroviruses could infect. The researchers then used gene editing to randomly disable a single gene in each of the cells. The resulting culture contained, in the aggregate, cells lacking one or another of every gene in our genome.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the research\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/med.stanford.edu\/news\/all-news\/2019\/09\/in-human-cells-and-mice-a-cure-for-the-common-cold.html\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temporarily disabling a single protein inside our cells might be\u00a0able to protect us from the common cold and other viral diseases, according to a study led by researchers at\u00a0Stanford University\u00a0and University of California-San Francisco.\u00a0\u00a0The findings were made in human cell cultures and in mice. \u201cOur&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10970,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,858],"tags":[989,986,987,990,963,988],"class_list":["post-10969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clinical-research","category-medical-innovation","tag-cells","tag-cold","tag-common-cold","tag-mince","tag-research","tag-stanford-ucsf"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
