Where this comes from

Abstract

Viral infection causes the host to activate an antiviral response that, in part, is dependent on mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) to stimulate type I interferons. Zhang et al. (2019) demonstrate that glucose-generated lactate interacts with MAVS to suppress type I interferons. This study links glucose metabolism to antiviral responses.
