Bacteria use surprising anti-missile defense-like system to fend off viruses
17.1.2025: Study from the University of Copenhagen reveals how bacteria use a defense mechanism called Zorya to protect themselves from viral attacks. The system detects and degrades viral DNA before the virus can replicate, much like a city's defense system intercepts incoming missiles. "A lot of anti-phage defense systems cause cell death, meaning that the cell self-exterminates and sacrifices itself to prevent the virus from spreading to its sister cells. Surprisingly, we discovered that Zorya treats the infection while leaving the cell intact –...
