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.
