Scientists have successfully mimicked a rare genetic mutation, ISG15 deficiency, that provides near-total immunity to viruses. Using mRNA therapy, they activated antiviral proteins in animals, creating a short-term, broad-spectrum protection against infections like influenza and SARS-CoV-2. This breakthrough offers a potential stopgap measure for future pandemics, slowing transmission until vaccines become available.
