| Title: | An intrinsic interferon program protects stem cells from viral infection |
| Creators Name: | Haas, S. and Trumpp, A. |
| Abstract: | Specific protection mechanisms are required to safeguard stem cell integrity. In a recent issue of Cell, Wu et al. (2018) show that stem cells are equipped with high intrinsic expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) but remain refractory to acute interferon signaling. This protects stem cells from viral infection. |
